Kooky Spooks unmasked a winner in 1979

[RSS]

I have no personal memory of Kooky Spooks and I'd like to think I'd remember seeing a kid with a pool toy on his head. Any happy memories?

I was an infant in 80. But it was a different time, man.

This sparks zero memories for me. Like you could tell me tomorrow this was a photoshop fake you threw together and it would make more sense lol.

I remember seeing them maybe one, two Halloweens, then they disappeared. I thought they were pretty weird, and had no interest. To me the appeal of Halloween was becoming a character, not just randomly decorating yourself. I was a very selective kid!

Nope I do not remember seeing any black-faced kids wearing balloons on there head as costumes.

Like Chris, I can recall seeing a handful of these on one or two Halloweens. I was 5 in 1979 and remember thinking: what the heck is that!?

I remember seeing the display in stores. But I don't remember seeing any kids actually wearing the costumes.

I remember them, but can't remember if it was in a store or on a person in the wild. But thank the spirits they came by just in time to rescue the "dormant Halloween costume industry."

Yeah I remember them as well, wasn't a big seller in my neighborhood I guess.

[Megotastrophe]

Sold out everywhere they were PROPERLY displayed... that's some nice parsing of language.

Don't remember these. '79 and '80 I saw more sci fi stuff than this.

[tay666]

I have zero recollection of these things.
And I would have been about 12 at this time, so I think I would remember if I had seen them.

at least 3 kids at our church halloween party had these one year

I was at Five Below last night and they have the bat headpiece for sale by itself. Maybe not an exact match but it is pretty close.
