It’s October and that means the Halloween content flows like fake blood around here. To all of you who had this wonderful set as a kid, please let it be known I’m still a little envious of you. These kinds of items always intrigued me in the back of magazines and comics but I never […]
It’s October and that means you get two podcasts, both devoted to scary subjects. Episode 35 is dedicated to that TV sensation of the 1970s, the amazing phenom that was Kolchak: The Night Stalker. Jason and Brian discuss the TV Movies, the subsequent series and all the amazing influence this show had. We also debate […]
Here’s a bit of weirdness from Canada, I actually remember finding one of these in the 80s. Halloween distributor Norben released a series of low cost Star Trek cape and mask sets using what I guess is some Ben Cooper masks from the first movie. It’s a pretty low rent affair complete with a card […]
As we are both lovers of Monster Cinema or some call it “Creature Features” it makes sense for J and B to count down their top ten favourite Monster movies. By favourite, we do not mean “best” or greatest, just our personal favourites. Our top tens vary wildly which makes for an interesting discussion, Jason […]
There is nothing I love more than Halloween Costumes based on obscure properties and brother does this fit the bill.

One of the prize pieces from my pal Matt’s collection is this awesome vintage vacuform sign and I totally understand why. What a trigger of happy memories this thing is, having this over your desk can only bring happy memories.
‘ My pal Matt sent me this photo and I have to say, I’m a l’il jealous of this killer monster themed rack toy. While a licensed toy (based on the Saturday morning antics of Charlie Chan) it’s also got a some copyright infringement going on in regards to it’s targets. Ahem, those gentlemen look familiar, […]
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 […]
For some reason I didn’t add this page to the 1983 Collegeville Catalog when i did it and it only took me 7 years to figure that out. I can’t imagine the conversations when the designers were told tha they had to develop a costume for Asteroids but in the end, I can’t say I could do […]
It’s probably indeterminable how many careers this kit and “flexi flesh” kick started but we’re better off for it’s existence.
