1986 Ben Cooper Costume Catalog
It wouldn’t be Halloween without at least one costume catalog on PlaidStallions and I’m thrilled to be showcasing this rarity from 1986. It’s pretty hard to find an 80s property that isn’t represented here, I mean seriously this thing is chock full of cartoon and toy characters. Check out the 1986 Ben Cooper Catalog here! […]
Gre-Gory: Big Bad Vampire Bat by Mattel
It finally happened, I got my hands on a Gre-Gory. After posting my disappointment ten years ago (ulp!) I found a good deal on one and decided to take the plunge. More photos after the jump and my observations as I have never seen or held one of these in my life. My first impression […]
It’s a Trap!
I honestly don’t remember anything about this era as it was my last Halloween, while Star Wars had been my go-to costume from 1978-1981, this year was my last Halloween and I think I went as Sid Vicious.

Monogram launches Movieland Monsters from the crypt

Ben Cooper Frankenstein Wiggler
I never ran into a Frankenstein, I didn’t like and this past summer at Mego Meet I found one that I didn’t have. I AND I love him! he’s got a magical “Dracula Vs Frankenstein” quality about it. There’s something so special about a generic Frankenstein. Friend Good! I think it’s funny that he’s specifically […]
Halloween Department 1980
THIS is my happy place today. All those wonderful costumes on display are from the 1980 Ben Cooper catalog BTW.
Topstone. Not Just another pretty face
Let’s kick off Halloween talking about Topstone shall we? Topstone started marking masks in the 1950s, I mainly know them for their famous character art. this Wolfman was offered in comic books my entire childhood. The company closed it’s doors in the 1990s and Topstone masks are now highly collectible among passionate collectors. I still […]
