Very spooky baby face

Three children dressed for Hallowe'en

This one was a surprise. The enormous baby face, I mean. Had an unsettling effect–not spooky or scary in the way most Hallowe’en costumes are, riffing on old tropes of ghosts, death, decay, or social rule-breaking. Sort of…a transgression of nature, which we like to think of as benign or even on our side. But here, nature is acting strange.
