At the beginning of October I put out the call for your vintage Halloween costume photos and brother, did you respond with your wood paneled goodness like this photo from Jason above. To be honest, putting them all together became a daunting task, however, that’s a good problem to have. An incredible vintage costume explosion […]
I managed to track down a major Halloween costume grail this past weekend and while it’s certainly not the most expensive or most desired suit on my want list, it sure is a personal favourite. More on this after the jump! This past weekend I attended the Chicago Toy show (full photo albums can be […]
Star Wars pretty much dominated my Halloween experiences from ’78 to ’82, I can’t be alone on this. Vader, Storm Trooper, Boba Fett and Yoda were my choices as a kid.
Ah, It’s my favourite time of year again and like always I’d like to put out the call for your vintage Halloween photos, show me me your store bought and home made costumes from the times of orange and brown. Send them on in to Kid70s*at*gmail.com (replace the at with an @ of course) or load […]

There’s something so special about a generic Frankenstein. Friend Good! I think it’s funny that he’s specifically […]
THIS is my happy place today. All those wonderful costumes on display are from the 1980 Ben Cooper catalog BTW.
Well here is something I’ve never seen before, thanks to my buddy Matt for sharing. This is a Ben Cooper Cousin Eerie Halloween costume based of course on the mascot for the Warren magazine Eerie.that ran for nearly 20 years. And it’s a great costume too! Nice mask and smock action here. According to Matt, […]
While Kenner was scrambling to make Star Wars action figures, Ben Cooper got Star Wars costumes out for 1977. Two weeks after Halloween, I doubt it mattered…..
