I love it when you post these. It's like a Halloween tradition at this point.

I had that vampire stretch stocking mask! it was indeed, very creepy. I had a it for a few years, but as you can imagine, it got runs in it, like stockings!

It's always interesting to see companies using imagery associated with a license they don't have. That's clearly Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolf Man on that Werewolf smock!

I remember as a kid you were either in the Photon camp, or the Lazer Tag camp. I was a Lazer Tag guy myself. I had the vest and gun, and my friends had the guns. We thought Photon was a rip-off, although I believe Photon arenas predated Lazer Tag ones, correct? Lazer Tag ended up becoming the generic name for this type of thing, though.

So...Photon was the Go-Bots of the laser target game system. It came first...but was quickly usurped.

I always love these.
Such fond memories of wearing those costumes when I was a kid.
Wish someone would do adult sized ones now.
