I was having a hardy laff at that link, and then suddenly, with no warning:

The link was funny.  There was some things that stuck out though, besides the V.I.C.K.I.E. costume.  Is it me or does the Flipper mask  look more like a flounder's head with eye holes?  If a little kid, now, knew who the Village People are, would he be willing to wear that costume?

Yeah, the Flipper costume had me laughing, although I was already going pretty good after seeing the Gabe Kaplan and Chuck Barris costumes.

I thought Jaws was funnier than Flipper though, with the head in the classic Jaws pose and two big eyes looking out the mouth.

Asteroids just left me speechless. A rock in a smock, taking a walk. WTF? Although, the mask would have potential as part of a monster costume.

 I wonder...now that the Harry Potter wizard guy is out of the closet...I wonder how many  uptight parents are scrapping their kids Dumbledore costumes?  Question

 I would wear the Tattoo costume...it might even fit! (I'm all of 5' 2"). Karma,Susan!   BounceGiggle

On the other hand, he might gain popularity with a different crowd. The Village People costume suggests there might be a market   TeddyR

We might even see a scantily-clad Dumbledore leading the San Francisco mustache parade. The possibilities!

And as was paointed out, it's probably the only kiddie Halloween costume printed with a naked lady on it.

SUSAN:  Thumbup  That was fun, but I'm way too old to "remember" those costumes as they all seem to date from late 70s early 80s, which was certainly the cheeziest period in Halloween history.  Me?  If I had been young enough and wanted to wear one of those readymade thingees, here's my choice:

The Monster Cereals, or at least their reps, seem to have entered the 'pop' culture consciousness once again: Count Chocula had an extended cameo on a recent episode of South Park and Frankenberry had a featured role as the villain on a recent Drawn Together.

Coming Soon?: Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy as a gay couple on The Simpsons.

Amazing, someone time travelled andsaw the 21 century Michael Jackson and made a costume

Due to busy parents, I didn't get the cool Star Wars costumes, and ended up with the ultra emarassing "Star Robot".  Unfortunately that one isn't in the list, should be though.

I had one of the store bought costumes featuring Mr. T from his A-Team days. My favourite costume though was simply wearing an home-made black cape and a set of cheap plastic vampire teeth.  I vas ze Count!

Unless a kid, not a child, old enough to venture the neighborhood alone, is dressed up as something INTENTIONALLY scarry or offensive and out at NIGHT it is NOT Halloween.

One of these years I'm going to catch some yuppie spawners dressing up their pup in free advertising and taking them to the mall in the daylight and I'm going to spit in their faces  Hatred


Karma for those tragic early marketing attempts, btw. Wink

I saw the german costumes link and, truth be told, out of most of them that were stupid (a human cell phone?) and some that were racist, I did like the design of that Psyco Surgeon.  It look like something straight out of a Heavy Metal graphic novel.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
