Collegeville Small Devil Halloween Costume

So many devils, so few Halloweens. Here's another variation on the devil to make you do it. 

Collegeville Gorilla Halloween Costume

Go ape with this Collegeville Gorilla costume. If the mask looks familiar, that's because it's been repurposed a few times in other costumes. Not sure I like the color-scheme in this one since it's more a clown-gorilla vibe than a king of the apes gorilla vibe.

Ben Cooper Spock Halloween Costume

Who wouldn't want to beam up to the Enterprise as Spock for Halloween? 

Collegeville Witch Halloween Costume

Here's a bewitching Collegeville Witch costume listed by eBay'r nicketynacks. That mask almost seems J-Horror, doesn't it?

Collegeville Casper Halloween Costume

That "white for night" marketing gimmick is quite apropos for this Collegeville Casper, the friendly ghost, costume.

Collegeville Bozo the Clown Halloween Costume

Seems more like Bozo the Hobo clown given the condition of the costume. I vaguely recall seeing Bozo on his television show. Thank the lord I was too young to be scared. After all the horror movies I've watched, I'm now too old not to be (listed by eBay'r hideho).

Ben Cooper Skeleton Halloween Costume

Here is yet another skeleton to rattle your bones on Halloween night (listed by eBay'r packaraticus).

Ben Cooper Devil Halloween Costume Amazing Glo-in-the-Dark Mask

Very primitive spook house devil look makes this Ben Cooper Magic-Glo Halloween mask and costume a display treat. 

Ben Cooper The Mummy Halloween Costume

The mask could use a bit more style, but the costume illustration is perfect. I just wish the eBay seller who listed this had provided larger photographs. I can see displaying this next to an Aurora Mummy model kit built up and painted.

Ben Cooper Baboon Man Halloween Costume

Look out, it's Baboon Man! And he's such a chattermouth, too!

Collegeville Ape Man Halloween Costume

A very odd costume, indeed. One can probably write a fascinating article on the change from single character to multi-character illustration on the costume itself, but there's another article in how suitability of mask to costume has varied over time and sociological development. I'll just note that the mask is completely mismatched to the costume. I'm guessing there was a production run of the mask for some other reason than this specific costume and Collegeville decided to save money and re-use the masks with this idea. If not, I'd be stumped as to who green-lit this one. 

Ben Cooper Chuck Norris Halloween Costume

I have fond memories of going to a New York City Chinatown theater, with friends, to see Bruce Lee kick up his heels. For you martial arts fans, all I need say is The Way of the Dragon (1972). Chuck Norris fighting Bruce Lee. It was like watching Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire go head to toe, two styles, two bad-ass pros going at it. In a movie theater in Chinatown in 1972. It doesn't get any better than that.
