If you're a longtime reader of the blog, you may remember our retrospective of Heidi Klum's Halloween costumes. Well, we're back with another Halloween costume retrospective, this time from Tom Holmoe, who played for the San Francisco 49ers, coached the UC Berkeley football team, and is now the athletic director at Brigham Young University (BYU). (You can read more about him on Wikipedia.) Holmoe is also known for wearing elaborate Halloween costumes to BYU Athletic's annual trick-or-treat event. All of these costumes were made by Holmoe's sister-in-law, Rhonda Montgomery, and the makeup was by Jennine Tolley Hollingshaus. It's all truly wonderful work that demands a look!
