Say Cheese(cake): Vintage Halloween Pinups a Scream
During the Golden Age of Hollywood, from the late 1920s to the 1950s, a number of noted models and actresses, before they hit the big time, got in the festive spirit and posed for Halloween-related pinup photos for the movie studios they worked for.
The up-and-coming starlets in these publicity shots weren't afraid to show a little leg as they get into the spooky spirit. They often posed with large Halloween props, like giant paper pumpkins and German composition jack-o-lanterns (quite valuable now as collectibles). Black cats, witch hats and spooky shadows also made plenty of appearances.
These are some of our favorites from the era that are a mix of fun, sexy, and glamorous.
