Halloween, traditionally known as Samhain, is the season for costumes, candies, and things that go bump in the night in Kentucky. Being one of the most haunted southern states, it’s only natural we celebrate this holiday in all its costumed glory. Houses are often decorated with faux webs, orange and black lighting, ghosts and other spooky décor. The people of the Bluegrass State vary in their creepy finery, with some thinking the scarier the better, and others going for a more traditional look.
Here are 12 Kentucky costumes that seem right at home:
- Chicken
Bradley Gordon It all began with KFC…
- A balding monk
Steven Saus Monks apparently got scary during the television show Vikings.
