The name “Ben Cooper” and “Halloween” are pretty synonymous to children of the 1970s/ The company produced a staggering amount of items devoted to October 31st and chances are if your parents used “store bought” costumes, they were from Ben Cooper.

1973 like every year is a load of fun, lots of popular licenses (including the insanely logical Groovy Goolies) , popular generics and neat-o stuff like Jigglers which were popular year round.

I vividly remember being super into my Squeaky the Bat one Halloween in the early 70's! And this was in Naples, Italy! Had me some plastic fangs and a black plastic cape to complete the fantasy. But Squeaky was the part I recall most fondly.
