'Found my 1972 Halloween photo. The mask was purchased at Payless Drugs for around $48.00, which was considered expensive in 1972. The plastic eye was super-detailed.
'Only one Polaroid photo of it. 'Looks more like a teenage Frankenstein mask but reminds me a lot of the shock monster.

$48 for that mask? At a store called "Payless"? Holy highway robbery, Batman!

[Hepcat]

I agree! A price of $48 in 1972 was shockingly high.

But where's the photo?
