Wow Sean... too awesome I had the Frank and Robot too....

Rod... your description makes me think of one of the films we all watch every year as a tradition.. "The Ghost and Mr Chicken" with Don Knotts... I miss Don... The Vic Muzzi organ score at the beginning and end still creeps me out in a super fun way!  That movie was so innocent and fun...

Cool Terry I'm gonna check that out!

I miss seeing the throngs of kids in those Ben Cooper and Collegeville costumes as they would hit the streets at twilight. It was marvelous.

And if you saw a kid you didn't know wearing the same costume as you----you were like 'who the hell is HE?'

Sean, what a GREAT treasure to have unearthed. I am so happy that you have that.

My first costume is a clown costume. I suppose not so ridiculous because oone of my forst jobs was as a circus clown!

I have NO pictures in Monster costumes.  I know I had em and wore them but GOD FORBID my mom or Dad would point a camera at me!!!

Is that a factor in your career choice, Danny? Still trying to get somebody to point a camera at you? In a monster costume? Are you still searching for that childhood dream? Food for thought--

Hilarious.  I was I THINK the robot in a Halloween parade... my sister was a harem girl (good choice, mom & dad)------they took ONE picture of us in the parade... and when it came out, some fat kid in a Fred Flintstone costume cut in front of me.
