Seeing as we were unceremoniously cut off from finishing last month’s show, Jason and myself decided to cut a “mini-sode” in addition to our regular show (which debuts next Friday) to finish what we started. We pick up on “Pink Lady and Jeff” talk about the Bay City Rollers, briefly touch on DC Follies and […]
Probably my most favourite of all Krofft shows would be Land of the Lost, I never missed it and it often scared the hell out of me. It was also one of the most heavily merchandised Krofft shows ever made, above is the Safari Shooter one of the many rack toys made. Speaking of Rack […]
Ben Cooper was the leading manufacturer of Halloween costumes and Novelties in the United States during the 1970s. This extensive 1976 catalog really demonstrates the power house licenses they had from the Universal Monsters and Mickey Mouse, the Superheroes of both Marvel and DC to TV sensations like the Six Million Dollar Man and the […]
I know it seems odd that I’m excited to own a girl’s Halloween costume but this is Web Woman, one of the seven of Filmation’s “Tarzan and the Super 7” fame that I’ve been obsessed with since i was 9. I’ve been looking for this costume for years and managed to get it for $20, […]
As the title suggests, episode 22 delves into the wonderful world of Halloween costumes but none of that “Home made with your mom’s love” kinda junk, this talks about the good old “smock and mask” stuff you got at places like Woolco or Kresge’s. In what is probably our most visual episode, Jason and Brian […]
Kusan may not be as well known as Ben Cooper or Collegeville for Halloween and they certainly didn’t get the “A” licenses but they sure knew how to create some innovative and highly creative costumes. From ideas like combining a kazoo into a Halloween mask to Licensing teen heartthrobs like David Cassidy, this is not just a […]
Well, it’s my favourite time of year, the annual Halloween countdown. Being a monster kid and overall creepy adult, this is my time to shine. Expect some creepy content to start filtering in sometime next week. Until then, enjoy some of the best masks 1976 had to offer, seriously if I had to choose just […]
Halloween around here wouldn’t be the same without the store bought goodness that is Ben Cooper. If you were a child of the 70s or 80s, then you certainly knew their product. Cooper held some of the great licenses in 1981 including the Disney characters, both the DC and Marvel comics Superheroes, Clash of the […]
Today’s costume spotlight is a personal favourite, Calibos, the twisted demi God from Clash of the Titans. When Clash came out I was ten years old, a Harryhausen fan and deeply interested in Greek mythology, making me the target market for all the different toys and cereal tie ins (I think Sugar Crisp gave away […]
For the entirety of the month, I’m going to spotlight a Halloween costume every once in a while. I can’t think of a better place to start than Condorman, a movie I had high hopes for. I honestly anticipated this to be a straight laced superhero movie vis-a-vis Superman 2. What we got was the […]
