THE BEST HALLOWEEN COSTUME OF 2012!


Now THAT'S (above) a Halloween costume!!!! We're not likely to see a better one this year! Even though it's early in the season I award it The Theory Corner Bronze Pumpkin Award for the Best Halloween Costume of 2012!!!!!!!!!!!

Boy, would I like to have a suit like that!


Here's (above) an interesting picture. A woman rushes to save another woman (her mother?) from being burned alive. This is a beautifully composed shot. Putting the staircase prominently in the foreground leads us to think the house itself is responsible for the fire.

You have to wonder why these women would choose to live in a killer house. No doubt one of them inherited the house and is so glad to get it that she ignores every decapitation and drowning that takes place there.


Above, a pretty good picture, but it's marred by the fact that the mad scientist is  physically fit. Mad scientists are sickly, everybody knows that.


Good Lord! If I'm not mistaken, this (above) is the very haunted house ride that was the highlight of my kid vacations! I used to hang on the railing and imbibe the screams and and loud bursts of steam coming from inside. In my back pocket was a rolled up copy of the latest Mad Magazine. 


Haw! Here's Batman (above) the way Wally Wood might have drawn him.


Unbelievable! This (above) is an ad for a Lysol-type product. The copy reads: "Don't let bacteria have descendants in your home."


Nice! This pair of manic running legs would look great in 3D animation.


The best sci-fi films always show always show the recipient of a ray blast disintegrating in stages, one step at a time, as on this cover (above).
  

A lesson to young astronauts: never sneeze in your space helmet....or is that a Sparklet's bottle?

The guy in the first picture is wearing the same suit that the hero in Milt Gross' "He Done Her Wrong" tries to buy. Same huge shoulders, same pattern. Who knew high fashion would imitate Gross!

Stephen: Yikes! You're right! I thought that suit looked familiar!
