Halloween: 1973

October 11, 2012 By Mantooth In Uncategorized 3 Comments

James didn’t have any vintage Halloween photos to submit so he sent in a video of his cool Halloween party from ’73. James is dressed as Frankenstein but I also spotted a Collegeville The Spider costume, which I think I wore in ’75.

Thanks James!

For more 1973 check out the Collegeville Costume Catalog from that year:

LOLZ! I remember my younger cousin wore that same spider costume in 1980. He told me he was Spiderman. I had to break it to him, no he wasn't. Hilarious that that sub par spider costume made the rounds for so many years.
