Halloween Countdown: October 11!

Must be a full moon tonight (or somewhere), because today's post is full of werewolves!

monster_werewolf_donpost

This werewolf mask was manufactured by Don Post... and it's pretty nice!

monster_werewolf_mask

This one's pretty nice, too!

monster_wolfman_mask

While this one seems more inspired by Lon Chaney Junior's Wolf Man make-up!

monster_wolfman_univers

That one, too... but I doubt any photos were used for reference!

OK, enough werewolves and wolf men for now... how about another Frankenstein?

monster_frank_cooper

It's amazing how many Ben Cooper costumes have survived all these years in boxes, given how many I've seen in eBay!

monster_game

I wish the photo was clear on The Monster here... I'm not sure if it's a game or what! Looks pretty fun, though! Well, okay, you can read the word "game" there, but I've no idea how it's played.

monster_godzilla_costume

This Ben Cooper Godzilla costume seems to have taken its design from the Marvel Comics version of the Big G. I'm sure like most Ben Cooper costumes, smack dab in the middle of the chest is a picture of Godzilla and the word "Godzilla."

monster_kong_costume

Despite the presence of the Empire State Building on the box art, I would be willing to bet from the look of Kong on the box and the logo in Cooper Black (the font name) that this costume is based on the Dino Di Laurentis remake.

monster_skeletoncooper

This skeleton costume may be the best-looking Ben Cooper costume of all time!
monster_wolfman_costume

Yep, there's another Wolf Man sneaking in there!

monster_creature_remco

And lastly for today, it's the Remco Creature of the Black Lagoon -- note the body is a cloth costume, basically -- like the Mego Thing and Human Torch!
