The Bewitching Hour is quickly upon us. Time to select that perfect, horrific costume to wear to the party or just freak out the youngsters who tap on your door in search of complementary, tooth-rotting sweets. Let's take a look at some of the costumes that are truly frightening - further proof that there's nothing scarier than bad taste. (Special thanks to retrobuzz.com for the photos.)Welcome Back Kotter – Remember the Sweathogs when John Travolta got his start? Yes, you too can go back in time as a retro Mr. Kotter - tacky mustache and mock 'fro included!
Flipper - Everyone's favorite dolphin (wait, can you really name any other one?) actually had a costume designed after him. Choose this one and it serves you right if candygivers forcefully ram minnows and other assorted bite-sized fish into your mouth.
Rubik's Cube - For you brainiacs out there, take off those horned-rimmed glasses and slip on the mask of America's most frustrating and puzzling (at least for me) cubic-shaped toy. Warning - it's the perfect invitation for someone to re-arrange your face, one row and color combination at a time!
Small Wonder - Perhaps, the worst show in the history of television, Small Wonder was a robot who dreamed of becoming a little girl. Small Wonder if this costume was ever actually sold to anyone.
Just a few more reasons to be afraid - very afraid - this Halloween season.
Talk to you soon. Until then, pick up the pace and run your own race.
