Hobby Horrors
In the age of reproductions I really wish some kind soul would bring back the Rapco Monster bust sets. I’d love to have these bad boys on my extremely cluttered shelves… From a previous Halloween the 1975 Rapco Catalog
Tiny Hulk Smash!
John sent in this awesome picture circa 1978, I gotta say that Hulk costume is so full of righteousness probably because it’s not a comic book Hulk costume, that’s a Lou Ferrigno costume baby! Still time to enter our Halloween Contest, send your vintage Halloween pics or Monster collections on down to me here and you’re in.
1987 Imagineering Halloween Catalog Featuring Elvira
The one thing that was a constant for children of the 70s and 80s was as soon as the seasonal aisle of your local drugstore was done with back to school, it became filled with gory fun items in anticipation of Halloween. There were items such as fake fangs and vampire blood that we all […]
My Reflection on Fear at the Terror Trap
I was asked this year by the folks at the wonderful horror website The Terror Trap to contribute to a collection of horror memories and anecdotes titled “Reflections on Fear“. It was quite an honour considering my fellow contributors were some well known professionals including such notable 70s icons as actress/author Jessica Harper (who played […]
Unexpected Halloween costume collection
I honestly never set out in this life to collect Halloween costumes, I blame working on this site because now I’ve got a bunch of these things littering my house and I thought I’d share. It all began with the Ben Cooper Frankenstein above, which I bought two years ago yesterday at a toy show […]

I rarely get sent classic Monster Appearances so it’s blast to […]

While I have 31 days planned filled with Monsters, costumes and other fightful things I could really use your help, so […]
The Halloween Spirit
James sent me in this awesome shot of himself still wearing his Ben Cooper Superman costume well past October 31st as what can be evidenced by what is in the background. I say, Bravo to you James. I find the sight of Halloween decorations being replaced by Santa on October 31st somewhat bothersome.
Halloween Costumes: 1980
I went for Halloween 1980 in that Ben Cooper Yoda set, as an adult I’d rather have those cool Remco Dracula and Frankenstein Make Up Sets.
Halloween Costumes: Best Selection in Town!
Love, love, love this ad from ’79, all the faves are here, Mork, Remco KISS your face, Imagineering’s “The Face” but the big standout on this piece would be the “Incredible Melting Man” makeup kit by Imagineering. Based on the movie of the same name (which is also a great episode of Mystery Science Theatre […]
