Hairy, Scary Monsters from Collegeville

[RSS]

1982 saw the Universal monsters depart Ben Cooper and move over to Collegeville for a glorious rebranding. The monster were all given weaves, gorgeous new packaging and Collegeville even added the Metaluna Mutant to the mix.

This Friday's Pod Stallions is all about Store Bought Costumes of yore, hope you'll check it out.

Interesting how they made the Bride scary with pointy teeth on the box. I love that box art. Not sure about the hair, but I guess they felt like they had to do something new with the license. The artwork on the costumes themselves looks really nice!

Can't wait for Friday and that Pod Stallions.

Those are pretty neat. Nice to see a Bride costume.
