It's the 11th hour - do you have a costume yet?
If not, hopefully you can find some inspiration in these vintage costume photos. If you have, then just sit back and enjoy....

The Laboratory of Satan
Half of a stereoscopic french devil tissue view (diablerie) from the 1870s.
These tissue views are made of three layers. First is the ‘normal’ albumen photographic paper. Second is a painted tissue behind the photograph. Third is a white protection tissue. If you hold the picture against a light, the colors come through. The glowing eyes of the skulls are pinpricked and labeled with a red translucent material.
