Dracula pinball machine

A friend of mine just purchased this Dracula pinball machine. It's from the late 70's. I can't believe I've never heard of this one before. Have you?

Halloween Threesome

So unrealistic! In my experience, each head would insist on his own camera.

Pop-up Frankenstein

Has anyone ever heard of this game before? I can't find any information on it anywhere.

Vintage Halloween masks

What a great idea! The people at CSA IMages have taken high quality photos of inexpensive masks against brightly colored backgrounds. They look beautiful!

Freddy Krueger "Spitballs"

I just found this old "Nightmare On Elm Street" toy in my attic. Still unopened. Where did it come from? I have absolutely no recollection of it. Why didn't I open it? Wasn't I tempted to try it back in 1989? After all, "The harder you squeeze, the further the spit."

**UPDATE: It looks like there were also Jason Voorhees "Spitballs". Here's
a guy who not only has both sets, but he has reviewed their individual spitting abilities.

Cool Retro Costumes

Here is a great gallery of vintage Halloween costumes. The collection is guaranteed to include characters from shows that haven't crossed you mind in 20 years.

Lancelot Link, Circus Boy, Bigfoot (from "Bigfoot & Wildboy"), Easy Reader (from "The Electric Company"), Nitro (from "American Gladiators").When's the last time you thought about them?

My favorite thing about many of these vintage costumes is this...
For every "Indiana Jones" costume where the shirt is designed to look like Indy's clothing, there are half a dozen "Joanie Loves Chachi" types, where the costume consists of a graphic identifying the program or person. (Like anyone could look at that mask and not think of Scott Baio.)

UPDATE:
Here is a link to some of the worst retro Halloween costumes the aforementioned gallery has to offer.
