Halloween Memories: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Costume

My brother made this Ninja Turtle costume himself, but to truly appreciate it you need to understand that this costume was put together just after the first few issues of the original comic book was published, Long before there was a cartoon series, toy line, feature films etc. In fact I don't believe a single person knew what my brother was supposed to be that Halloween even after being told he was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Now you can't find a costume shop on Halloween that doesn't carry a line of TMNT costumes.

Halloween Memories

It's October so it seems only natural that I do a Halloween theme on th blog. I already did a monster sires back in July so instead I thought I would share some of my own personal Halloween memories. My family has always been very big into Halloween. My parents would always put a lot of time and effort in creating costumes for me and my brother, some of which were pretty elaborate. I've tried to carry on that tradition and and do the same for my own kids. So for October I would like to share with you a few of our family's costumes from the past and some that are more recent. And since this is a sketch blog I'll also do a sketch of the character the costume is based on. Should be fun. It will be for me anyways.
