Frightening Fashions You Can Create At publication time, movieland’s most renowned designer, Edith Head, had dressed the stars for more than 50 years— everyone from Bette Davis to Grace Kelly. The legend created imaginative costumes for Parade readers, including pirates and ghosts and devils made of found objects. Head ends her article with a prediction about the trick-or-treaters of 1980: “Some young witch or ‘Wookiee’ will start designing Hollywood’s future costumes. I can feel it in my bones, and I can’t wait.” She died Oct. 24, 1981.
