Who doesn’t love the smell of pumpkin and cinnamon in the air, some “Monster Mash” in the background, and the excuse to dress up while gorging on complex carbohydrates? Halloween brings out the kid in all of us, and The Retro Set wishes all of you a very happy Halloween! We are happy to bring you some whimsical best wishes from some of our favorite stars of yesteryear.
Happy Classic Hollywood Halloween to all!
