Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

I sometimes wonder what China must think of us as they make things like demon masks, severed limbs, and various other gory Halloween treats.

China makes everything for us. American flags for the 4th of July, Christmas ornaments for our trees. For a Communist country, they certainly seem to love the Capitalist $.

I think opening a Halloween store would be very cool, but not in this economy, sorry guys, I would hate for Mac to loose all his money!!! Maybe when thing pick up he could, even I would love to try something like that.

I'm pretty sure there was a provision in the stimulus bill that set aside money for the start-up of small businesses that sell gory Halloween props.....

I always wondered that. "Why do these Americans love severed limbs and gravestones so much? Are they cannibalistic or satanic?"

Yeah, I'm a vintage whore.

I think I used to have those when I was little.

That wolf-man is great!

It reminds me of Eddy Munsters' 'Woof-Woof' doll.

We had the yowling cat, the cat on the moon, and the pumpkin looking off to the side! Still might have them, come to think of it.....

Awesome pics!!

Oooo! I love vintage!

I only have a few little things, but they are my faves!!!

Great Stuff!!!

Dollar junk today.






Edit:

These are old but I pulled them out today anyways. Romantic, right?

Dollar junk rocks!

I think I remember having the one with the skeleton in the window and the witch with the spider hanging off her hat.

Thanks! I love the vintage style. They just say Halloween to me more than most of the new stuff. I guess it's because I prefer spooky over gory.

They were pretty common back in the 90s. My elementary school music teacher had them in his room. I also saw them when I went Trick-or-Treating. I used to love them so much so I just decided to buy them, lol.

I found her on Ebay. She is Telco's 1995 Witch model. They had about 3 different models (face sculpt and costume).

Here is one currently listed similar to mine just with patches on the dress:
