Pretty pedestrian by most standards here, but I was ecstatic to find this Jack O' Lantern blowmold light at an antique mall for $5 last week. My aunt and uncle have one just like it, and I've coveted it ever since I was a kid!



Here he is paired up with my childhood Empire ghost and some other Halloween goodies:

Things you have coveted since you were a kid are the very best finds of all!

[RedKing]

Earth2Chris, that Empire is a beaut! My family had this one when I was a kid, but I don't know  what happened to it. Those blowmolds are the very definition opf Halloween for me.

Yes! Together with Beistle cardboard decorations and kids' masks and costumes by companies such as Collegeville and Ben Cooper, blowmolds are part of my unholy Halloween triumvirate.

Chupa Chups are popular in South America it means Suck Sucks in Spanish. Chupar = to suck.

Made famous by Telly Savalas in TV's "Kojak" (1973-78). Australian stores have stocked them since then.

How about Gurley candles then? Do they belong at the same exalted level?



Here are some from Roback's collection:

Something for Lovecraft fans and modellers, I got this for £10 off eBay. I hadn't seen this kit before. The box art doesn't do the kit justice - the sculpt is amazing!

Cool Cthulhu model, I'd like to see it when it's built, too.

I haven't posted any pics for a while-my Photobucket is almost all full. So, here's some stuff I got over more than a week, probably more like a couple of months. In this photo is...

a Forum Novelties Creature mask, a Billiken Cyclops, a Billiken War Of the Colossal Beast model complete in box,
a Siccaluna Green Slime with mini Green Slime and box, an M-1 Reptilicus, a Mego die-cast Hulk from 1979,
Count Chocula and Franken-Berry mail-aways from 1975, Lincoln Frankenstein, Lincoln Dracula, a nude Lincoln Mummy, and a 1960's Marx wind-up Frankenstein.
