Can you help me list vintage Halloween costumes?

Asked by Dog (25152points) August 14th, 2010 from iPhone

As an artist I have a tradition of painting vintage trick-or-treaters every year.

Nothing commercial like Star Wars or modern. I am seeking vintage generic like cowboys and Indians (done last year)

Can you all help me with ideas?
The more ideas the better!

Some of the many I have done:
Angel
Devil
Pirate
Ballerina
Princess

Please give me a hand here.
:)

THANKS!

Nothing would be more vintage than a ghost or a witch. What about a banshee?
