Halloween 2024

It's Halloween, and we start the show with a guy who almost didn't have a thing to wear.

 

AMG

I stole this one from James over at Men From Back Then .  It's from the AMG movie The Witch and the Hoods featuring Jim Higgins, Jackie Baker, Larry Beier, and Andy Chavez.  Thanks James!

 

Musketeers

These Musketeers attended a Castro Street Halloween event in the late 1970s.

 

Horror or Bondage?

This looks like a scene from either a bad bondage move or a bad horror movie.

 

T-shirt

The only thing vintage about this is the shirt design,

but once I saw that model . . . 

 

Pageant

This bit of cultural appropriation is from a nudist pageant of some sort,

probably not a Halloween party.

 

AMG II

This looks like a scene from an AMG movie, but I don't know which one.

Perhaps someone will inform us shortly.

 

Little Devil

The Devil made him do it.

 

Men in Uniform

This is another 1970s San Francisco Halloween celebration.

A Boy Scout and a sailor have fallen in lust.

 

Halloween 2019

Our last photo is a repeat from five Halloweens ago.

 

Halloween

It's Halloween, and I've managed to scrape together a set.

We start with something I can't quite figure out.

 

Mizer's Movies

This is the first of three scenes from what I think are Bob Mizer/AMG movies or themed still shoots. 

 It is also the only one I found on my own.  The title is Witches and Wizards.

 

Devil

Here we have a Devil with a toy pitchfork and a ditchdigger tan.

 

Paul and Jim

Paul Bigelow and Jim Johnson appeared in the AMG movie "Dr. Bigelow and his Monster."

I pilfered this off Men From Back Then.  Thank you, James!

 

Skeleton

Getting the skeleton in place on the bike doesn't look easy.

 

 

Armchair Chief

Going politically incorrect here with a Native American "costume."  

Our subject may be bored . . . or drunk, but the dog seems amused by it all.

"Arf! Arf! Arf!  Daddy got loaded and took off his clothes again."

 

Great film concept

I think a naked male stalker'slasher is a great idea for a horror movie.

 

Devil or Batman?

I can't tell if this gentleman was going for a devil or a bat look.

Either way, his kind eyes spoil the horror element.

 

Howard the Hairy

I was so taken with the very hairy Howard Frame at right that his name was all I bothered to record when I stole this photo off Men From Back Then.  It looks like a Bob Mizer devil-themed film or photo set, and Mama Mizer should have fitted Howard with a smaller posing strap.  It's way too big.

 

Drunkenness will not be tolerated!

Apparently getting drunk on Halloween is not anything new.  My besotted high school class was so notorious in the late 60s that the sponsors kicked off the annual Halloween Carnival by loudly announcing, "Drunkenness will not be tolerated!"  We all got plastered anyway.
