Remember THESE costumes?? - LOL!

[CultureKlashJEFF]

If you grew up anytime between the late 1950's - to the early 90's (which all of u have), then u might remember the BEN COOPER costumes!

They had virtually any character (or anything for that matter) to choose from. The damn thin plastic masks that u could hardly breathe out of, let alone talk, lol, your face would get all sweaty, and the masks rubber band would get caught in your hair! If the rubber band snapped, you had to hold up ur mask!
And let's not forget the vinyl costume! It would either be like a robe or have pant legs, and you'd be making that "swishing" noise as you walked down the street, lol!

A costume in a box, ...aahhhh... gotta love the old days. Halloween was so much fun.😀
Which one did YOU have???

 

[CultureKlashJEFF]

LMAO!
My friend just told me:
"Yes that damn mask that would scartch your face and the holes never lined up right, you could either breathe and not see, or the other way around! But thats when trick or threating was fun!!"

lol...neither can i for some reason! I know I dressed up ever year when I was younger but I cant remember what I was. I dont even think I have any pictures of me. I remember seeing pictures of my bro when we lived in manhattan and he was dressed up like archie and other 60's/70's types of characters.

I remember when I was younger that there were assholes that started putting razor blades in apples and other horrible things. What kind of sick and demented people ould do that kind of shit?

LOL .... Yeah I remember making parts of my costumes myself ...

I was a bad kid though. I think I stopped dressing up in 4th grade cause I thought I was too cool. At 12 I was running around town stealing pumpkins and bombing cars with eggs.

I remember we pegged this guys Eldorado with eggs. We were like 12 and these guys were like 25 and HUGE ... They slammed on the brakes, jumped out, and chased us , I got away but they caught my friend and body slammed him in the middle of the street. LOL
They smacked him around and stuff and then broke the remaining eggs over his head .... haha He was beat up and covered in raw egg goo ..
Some funny shit.
