The earliest costume I remember was when I was in 2nd grade. My mom made me a costume. She didn't ask me what I wanted to be. She made a "Lady Mouse" form Peatrix Potter costume for me. She found a Holly Hobby dress and apron from a garage sale and she decided that's what I was going to be. I wish I had pics of it
She made the mouse mask out a the top half of a Clorox bottle (cut the bottle around the middle and then cut off the handle). It was covered with fake fur and it had pipe cleaners for whiskers.
She put a lot of love and creativity into that costume for me. *sniff, sniff*

I already mentioned the earliest costume that I remember wearing.

My earliest haunted house memory: I was 5 or 6 at the time. A friend's older brothers set up a haunted house in their garage. I remember having to sit in a grocery cart and one of the brothers pushed me through the dark haunt. All of the actors (3 at most) were wearing masks and they jumped out of hiding places and screamed. I balled my eyes out and tried to get out of the shopping cart. They wouldn't let me out and they tried to muffle my screaming because they were going to "get it" from their mother who warned them not to scare the kids.
