    Syrup filled Wax Halloween monsters

    Anyone remember these? A local drug store called Dox Drugs used to have a huge Halloween display back in the 70s and there used to be tons of varieties of these.
    The only remnant now of these are the fake wax vampire teeth, or a smile mouth if you can find these.

    Oh yes, yes, yes. I LOVED them! It would be cool if someone could find some pics of those.

      Seems like I remember those, very vaguely those. Ben Franklin's used to be FULL of cool Halloween stuff like that.

        Too many toys. Not enough space!

          Wow, cool. I bet those are pretty rare these days, I'm sure many have turned to a puddle.

              I still have all of mine. I've kept them in the refrigerator all this time. Bought them at Thirfty's drug store when I was a kid. I loved Halloween then. And I love Thrifty's ice cream, especially chocolate chip. Cones were 10 - 15 cents when I was a kid.

              I think these wax figures were 25 cents? Does anybody remember how much they cost?

              I have all the ones shown in the photos Hotfoot found. The photos are not mine:

                Yep that's them, but there were so many more variants of them.

                    I loved 'em when I was a kid in the late 1960s, but they looked much different than those pictured.
