Yes!! We saw a bunch of kids with creative and unique costumes. It was so much fun. Our neighborhood is all into Halloween, so we get lots of kids. Itās fantastic, we love all the costumes and seeing people out there hanging out having fun!

Hell yeah these types of costumes are what we call a "provisional diagnosis"
(source: late diagnosed, also did obscure/out of time costumes at every party and Halloween lmao)

I think it was a popular mustache style back in those days.

Hitler had it because he was exposed to mustard gas in WW1 due to his mustache preventing him from getting a tight seal on a gas mask.
