Love those Empire halloween blowmolds! I have the scarecrow and hobo jack-o-lantern head ones myself and I keep them out all year. LOVE that purple people eater!
Crazy am I? We'll see if I'm crazy or not!

My Mrs found a bag of these candy sacks in a local thrift shop. Nice graphics. Can't see a year but I suspect they are not that recent, and that they are perhaps already somewhere back in this thread . However, there's so little makes its way to Oz like this.

Those graphics really ARE great Larry!!

Those 60/70s blow molds are great. I've had a couple lately on my watch list but forgot about them and lost out. I need to snag one soon.

It's not a monster but we just got in a cool Snoopy and Woodstock blow mold for Christmas. It looks great!

I don't think these are THAT old, a few years at the most, but that silver logo for the monsters on there is their most recent and current version. Doesn't look to me like they are more than 3 or 4 years old tops, more like 1 or 2 really. Which is weird since the graphics of the monsters themselves resemble some of the older style graphics they used in the late 90s early 2000s. A very cool piece either way!
Do you like monsters? They're my only weakness...

Maybe 5 years or so, don't recall exactly!?   These were stocked at Factory Card Outlet along with a whole line of party stuff!  The little faces scattered throughout the photo below are actually confetti that came in a little bag with discs of the monsters faces, bats and spiders, which are also seen scattered around in the picture!



One thing not shown in the photo is a mylar balloon, I was lucky enough to find one the second year that this stuff was stocked; It was already inflated and was the only one in stock!



I think you can still pick up all this stuff online.

these look pretty familiar, i  had a universal monster birthday party when i was 11 or 12, but i am not sure if these were the same party supplies.. they are pretty cool though. i would be totally  into getting these for my halloween party this year  :)
even a woman who is pure of heart....well you know the rest..

Purchased at WalMart today.  There was also a Mummy and a Wolfman equally generic and stupid, yet licensed by Universal.  Seems they're going after the hip, techie market....y  a  w  n....... but hey, at least our guys are represented this Halloween, however feebly.

GAKENSTEIN- Are those greeting cards? If they are, I would buy them for my nieces, nephews and grandson  :)  I love putting our beloved monsters into their lives one way or another!  They would enjoy them  :)  My grandson's 7th birthday is on 11-11-11, so I'm looking for things that aren't so (in his words) "baby-ish".

Way awesome!

Yes charp, they are greeting cards.  Sorry I failed to mention that!  Call me stoopid.
