Is there a book or site that collects all the Ben Cooper/collegeville type mask and costumes. These are big icons in my childhood's halloween and even though I couldn't own them all i would like to see them when ever i want.

1975

Plaidstallions has a couple catalogs, other than that I don't know why there isn't a "coztumecollector.com". Rubber mask collectors seem to be better organized.

ya we couldn't afford much either. I had several of these and lots of home made costumes. I also had a lot of used garage sale mask that time eventually ate up.

Also I seen a mask that looked kinda like a incredible melting man but it was Ben Cooper or Collegeville. Been trying to track it down.

Here you go our own Toy ranch and a few others should give you several Ben Cooper/Collegeville/Halco masks to look at for awhile.

Hmm the other links seem to not be working at the moment. Anyway search for Brechtbug Halloween Costumes Vintage Photos

and Nightowlghoul Ben Cooper and Collegeville Costumes and Masks in Flickr or just Ben Cooper, Collegeville, and Halco in the search bar at Flickr.
