Spider-Man meets Zorro
This children’s Spider-Man costume from France is pretty killer and detailed, the ray gun is weird but I bet kids didn’t mind.
Cousin Eerie Halloween Costume
Well here is something I’ve never seen before, thanks to my buddy Matt for sharing.

Ben Cooper Star Wars
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…..
Sesame Street the Count Play Face and Cape
I actually am kind of angry that I never saw this as a kid, it’s incredible!
Star Trek Week: Capes by Norben
Here’s a bit of weirdness from Canada, I actually remember finding one of these in the 80s.

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 […]
