Old Television Shows and Television Personality Costumes
From ‘Mr. Television’, Milton Berle (oh, you never heard of him?) and his outlandish, clownish costumes and makeup to M*A*S*H and its assorted military characters from the Korean War, come another huge category of possible Halloween costume ideas. All from old television shows and television personalities.
There were a rash of Western TV shows (‘Bonanza’, ‘Rawhide’, ‘Gunsmoke’ with Matt and Kitty) and their assortment of western garb, replete with a six-shooter or two) in the 50’s, 60’s.
For you futuristic fans, remember ‘Battlestar Galactica’ or ‘Star Trek’? Costumes from these kind of productions might be on the pricey side.
The ‘Addams Family’ and ’The Munsters’ can provide you with several characters each that might feed your ghoulish personality.
A medical smock might be all you need to play a part from ER or Dr. Kildare, Ben Casey or ‘Grey’s Anatomy’.
Buffalo Bob, Clarabelle, Princess SummerFallWintersSpring are a few characters from ‘Howdy Doody’.
But Howdy, himself might be a bit of a challenge. Unless of course, someone has a wooden head and looks like him. (He was a marionette.) So, just go back to those golden days of television or ask your Mom or grandfather about some of the shows. Google works, too!
