What was your favorite childhood Halloween costume?
Wizarding world
One year I dressed up as Hermione Granger. My mom even knitted me a Gryffindor scarf.
— Joleen
Man-eating plant
I was indeed a giant Venus Flytrap, complete with a home-made papier-mache head, a brown skirt pot and gloves with teeth. I won many a costume contest that year.
— Nina
Power ranger
When I first went trick-or-treating, I went as a pretty sweet red power ranger and my brother went as a blue power ranger. It’s safe to say we were very intense.
— Grayson
Marie Antoinette
My mom thought it would be fun to turn a 10 year old’s Disney princess dress into a crazy queen of France ghost costume. No one, including myself, knew who I was supposed to be. But, it was an early history lesson I will never forget. So, thanks Mom.
— Meredith
Disney princesses
Every year when I was little I was a different princess. Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, etc. I never wanted to be anything scary, just a princess.
— Lindsay
No clue
I have no idea what I dressed up as when I was a young. I didn’t really put much effort into my costumers, but I did trick-or-treat until I was way too old.
— Griffen
I’m Sandra Dee
I dressed up as the sweet and wholesome version of Sandy from “Grease” when I was 13. I’m not going to lie — when I go home I still shimmy on the same pink poodle skirt every time I play dress-up with my younger sister.
— Hailey
Jedi knight
An eight-year-old with a cool robe and lightsaber. What more could I ask for?
— Blake
We’re not in Kansas anymore
My favorite costume as a child was my Dorothy costume my grandma made for me, complete with red sparkly shoes and all.
— Tea
Nickelback
Taping a bunch of nickels to my back was either the best or worst costume ever.
— Kyle
Snow White
I thought it was so cool that a princess had hair as short as mine. So, of course I had to be Snow White — bright red apple and all.
— Mihaela
Superman
He was really cool in the ‘90s.
— Andrew
Frodo Baggins
I loved dressing up as Frodo from “Lord of the Rings.” I got to swing a sword around, hold the ring and wear an awesome cape. It was basically my childhood dream come true.
— Max
Angela Pickles
Two years in a row I dressed as Angelica from Rugrats for Halloween — pigtails, purple dress, spotted tights and all. I also carried around her creepy doll, Cynthia. It was amazing.
