45 Vintage Snaps of People at Halloween Parties From the 1970s

Halloween parties in the 1970s were vibrant and often reflected the decade’s eclectic culture. People embraced creative and sometimes DIY costumes, often inspired by popular movies, TV shows, and music. Classic monsters like vampires, witches, and ghosts remained popular, but there was also a rise in costumes inspired by the counterculture, such as hippies and rock stars.

Halloween parties were common, with themes ranging from haunted houses to disco-themed bashes, reflecting the era’s dance craze. Costume contests were popular, and people would often gather for games like bobbing for apples or ghost stories.

The music at Halloween parties included everything from rock ‘n’ roll to disco, with songs that evoked spooky themes. The popularity of artists like Alice Cooper, whose theatrical performances often included Halloween themes, also influenced party atmospheres.

Overall, Halloween in the 1970s was a lively mix of traditional customs and the innovative spirit of the era. These fascinating photos were taken by Nick DeWolf that show portraits of people at Halloween parties at Hotel Jerome, Aspen, Colorado from 1975 to 1979.
