Say Cheese(cake): Vintage Halloween Pinups a Seasonal Scream

From Betty Grable to Debbie Reynolds, up-and-coming stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood flashed the Halloween spirit for the camera, along with plenty of leg.

During the Golden Age of Hollywood, from the late 1920s to the 1950s, a number of noted models and actresses, before they hit the big time, got in the festive spirit and posed for Halloween-related pinup photos for the movie studios they worked for.

The up-and-coming starlets in these publicity shots weren't afraid to show a little leg as they get into the spooky spirit. They often posed with large Halloween props, like giant paper pumpkins and German composition jack-o-lanterns (quite valuable now as collectibles). Black cats, witch hats and spooky shadows also made plenty of appearances.

These are some of our favorites from the era that are a mix of fun, sexy, and glamorous.
