Here's a beautiful Monster in My Pocket Windingo Halloween costume to go trick or treating in. (Listed by eBay'r oldskooltoysandgames.) It's a shame the front of the box doesn't show as much graphic excitement as the sides.

Great box art, great costume design and vibrant colors make for a classically creepy witch for Halloween with this Halco costume. (eBay'r sly203 listed this one.)

eBay'r bbermuda 1810 listed this cool 1960s Satellite Joe Collegeville Halloween costume suitable for any little sputnik aiming for the stars.

eBay'r theangryspider listed this Collegeville Spooky Spooks Skeleton. The only bone to pick I have with his photos is that he (or she) didn't unfold the vinyl skeleton suit, which looks like it has an awesome illustration we can't see. So that's a tad annoying. I've noticed sellers tend to not unfold vinyl costumes much when listing them. Odd. I wonder why?

eBay'r samdan517 listed this Topstone Seecurity Nu-Skin Mask with plush flameproof hair. I bet this one's better off displayed instead of worn. It looks heavy enough to be pretty hot.

Lots of gruesome terror in this issue of Horror Tales, beginning with those vile monsters torturing their poor victim. Ghouls running amok, rail-kill hits the tracks, and horror comes to room 1313, all drawn with verve and nerve to bring a chill to your ebookish ways. Just try to keep your head, unlike the poor fool stalked by the lady killer in the last story.

A little bit Bela a little bit Phantom of the Opera make for a colorful and scary Dracula. Only thing missing are the sharp incisors ready to bite down hard. The slight trickle of blood around the lower lip is a nice touch.

Here's a Ben Cooper Skeleton Halloween costume with ventilated mask, circa 1972. Of course, with the vinyl costume, you'd need more than just a mask to provide cooling relief. Whoever came up with the idea of saving money by using vinyl for Halloween costumes was evil, pure and simple. (Seller nashei listed this one on Ebay.)
On a recent jaunt to Crossville, Tennessee, I came across this groady little clown statuette in an antique shop. Yes, his nose is a light bulb and shines bright when lit. Yes, he's quite a scary and ugly little thing. Yes, he's really not, and I repeat not, a good gift idea. But I couldn't resist.
