The images from David Lynch's collection of Halloween photos circa 1875-1955 may seem creepier than Halloween costumes now, but why? It could possibly be the vintage, eerie format of the photos, but the meaning runs deeper. Media now uses these horrific ideas from the past and morphs them into movies that haunt our culture, whilst Halloween now doesn't have the same scary effect. Halloween has become a fashion show, to see who can be the most creative. The mystery behind the mask also adds to the scare factor. Simple and basic designs, yet it gives the ominous feeling of "who could be behind that's mask? What is behind that mask?".
