| 1236 | Article | Vaporman87 | The story of the Ben Cooper company is an interesting one: http://www.slate.com/articles/life/culturebox/2013/10/ben_cooper_costumes_how_the_popular_plastic_outfits_reinvented_halloween.html | Sep 11, 2014 |  | |
| 1247 | Article | NLogan | Hoju Koolander I love the personal pictures. To me that is what Halloween is all about. Can't beat the nostalgia level of some of those old Ben Cooper and Collegeville costumes. As you know my brother was also Yoda back in the day. Long live cellophane windowed boxes, rubber bands that broke on your sweaty face mask, and vinyl smocks... well the memories of them anyways. | Halloween Hallelujah! | Sep 16, 2014 | |

| 1389 | Article | NLogan | When I was a kid sometimes we would go over to my uncle's house. He would make homemade french fries in a frier. Nice and greasy hot. He had these leather cases and inside were hundreds of cassette tapes. We turned off most of the lights and sat on the couch eating fries while we listened to the original radio productions of the Shadow! I still remember the sound of that laugh echoing in the dark. | Halloween Hallelujah! | Oct 07, 2014 | |
| 1750 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @NLogan I also ate french fries while listening to The Shadow, but not fancy homemmade style, that's sounds great. I had to settle for McDonald's while sitting in my Dad's car listening to the broadcasts over the radio. Although I did eventually buy a set of cassettes that showcased 2 episodes from each actor to play The Shadow over the years. | Halloween Hallelujah! | Jan 02, 2015 | |
| 1219 | Article | Vaporman87 | I was always disappointed by the fact that I could never recreate the image on the front of Halloween Makeup/Costume packaging. You would think by a certain age, you would come to the realization that no product is EVER faithfully recreated from the packaging or promotional image (fast food... I'm looking at you). But no. We keep believing, and failing. LOL This year, with my family going as Scooby-Doo and the gang, I've found that I don't WANT to recreate the all-in-one promo/package look. They're dreadful and cheap looking. My wife is gathering our costumes one piece at a time through various outlets (with the exception of Scooby). | Saloon Girl | Sep 10, 2014 | |
| 1222 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I had the same make-up application dilemma when I went as Gene Simmons from KISS to a Halloween party in high school. Keeping the black and white face paint separate was a real chore. That's awesome that you got so much use out of your Saloon Girl costume. Zombie Saloon Girl would make a good companion to an undead steampunk adventurer. | Saloon Girl | Sep 10, 2014 | |
| 1231 | Article | pikachulover | Sadly the costume doesn't fit anymore. I still have it, but I grew a little too sideways. I think that was the last Halloween I wore face paint. I do not know how to apply even regular cosmetics well except for nail polish. I'm a pro at that. About having to copy the costume thing I don't why that idea stuck at my schools for so long. I mean I can go into any store that sells costumes, and I can hear tweens and older teens saying about how it has to look like it does on the package. Plus women's costumes are usually a rip off anyway. | Saloon Girl | Sep 10, 2014 | |
| 1220 | Article | Vaporman87 | Ha! A few good zingers in there! Thankfully for me, I was neither confused or impressed by Hanson. I knew they were males, and I knew I hated their music. Yes, the song was catchy. But terrible songs can be catchy... Banana Phone??? Again, thankfully, these lads have grown up, and perhaps if they do start making music again, their music will have grown up also. Time will tell. | Hanson MMMBopped Their Way Into Our Lustful Hearts | Sep 10, 2014 | |
| 1223 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Man, that totally happened to me. This was my own personal "The Crying Game" moment.I remember switching on MTV, seeing this "hot chick" playing keyboards and feeling my hormones rev. Then the next day at school I heard someone talking about those "Hanson brothers that sing Mmm-Bop" and it blew my mind. Glad to know I wasn't alone in my confusion, haha. | Hanson MMMBopped Their Way Into Our Lustful Hearts | Sep 10, 2014 | |
