MonsterKid Photo Archive-The Magical History Tour!

[Scatter]

Any cool shots of you back when monsters REALLY roamed the earth?? Remember when TV's had rabbit ears, cars had muscle, horror shows had hosts, and your pajamas had feet (and the occasional trap door)?? Post your vintage Polaroids here!!

YOU in front of the Christmas tree hoarding your ill-gotten gain.........

YOU at a birthday party when the candles could still be counted without a calculator.........

YOU sporting that Ben Cooper or home-made Halloween costume..........



Post your vintage pics of the thrilling days of yesteryear...........let's share the pics and memories that made the mid 20th century the greatest time in the annals of history to be a kid!!

HA!! How cool!! Hey, where were you Charpie?? Where did you grow up?? Look at all the leaves on the ground..............MAN I miss the Fall.

Addison, Michigan USA      It was pretty cool! I have no idea what brand of costume that was. It might have been a generic IGA brand

what's the building behind the house in the background ? another house?

[charp13]

Ooooh- I forgot about that! It was an old storage barn that the mill used. We used to play in it and climb all over the place and it was a 2 story rotted out building with jagged holes in the floor. There were tons of rotted grain bags and rats in there too. Man, I can't believe I didn't get tetanus or die in there!

In college, a girlfriend of mine named Beth went as 'Beth Death' from the Garbage Pail Kids for Halloween 1 year. 

Hey Charp, awesome picture!

I will get some pics up soon for this thread.  I have to scan some photos from my folks' picture albums once I figure out how to get them peeled off their pages!

the ultimate hangout...we kinda had one as well, but it was just an abandoned house, with broken glass everywhere and skunks that lived underneath. Good times

Hey Scatter! This will be a cool post! Let's get it goin'!

This was a  very memorable Halloween.......I'm the werewolf on left, brother on opposite side and best friend Charlie Stevens was the Frankenstein in back. Nobody can figure who the two little ghosts are........possibly acouple candy grabbers that were passing by and were asked to step in for the photo. Later in the night we were joined by another friend, Mike Shields.....he was ornery. At one house where no one answered he took a dump on their porch........blew my young and innocent mind. The mystery of how he wiped has always bothered me..........Bud

bigbud- Your picture is awesome!  I swear you guys look familiar   I probably passed you while I was trick or treating, or maybe I was one of the ghosts-  OK, now I'm getting creepy. But I do agree- This is cool and I hope to see more pictures!

Bud, what year was that picture made?  I would guess mid to late 60's?

[Scatter]

Bud, that pic and story are EPIC!! 

[bigbud]

My guess on the photo is mid-60s...........

[Gasport]

Bud, That pic is PRICELESS!! Too bad no one thought to snap one of what your friend left on that doorstep as a steaming token of his affection that night! Here's another of me posing with a few of my ''friends'' while wearing my older bro's Shock Monster mask probably sometime in 1964 0r '65. Hope you enjoy and lets keep this thread rollin'!
