    Shrink some head with Vincent Price



    I never got my hands on one of these sets as a kid but I knew by the picture of Vincent Price on the box that it was a high quality item. I was also recently delighted to learn that my children already knew who Price was, thanks to Scooby Doo and Hilarious House of Frightenstein re-runs.

    I had one of these when I was little.It wasn't new when I got it,must've came from a garage sale and was missing a pc or two.I remember getting a beating one time after coming back from our grandparents and my Dad saw I left an apple drying on my bedroom lamp.I'm thinking they threw it away after that.

      Back in the mid 90s when I was toy searching in thrift stores and at yard sales, I used to find these all the time. It's been years since I've seen one!

        I think I have the commercial for this on one of my tapes. Scary!

          I remember seeing comic ads for this. Price was the international ambassador of horror back then, huh?

            I wanted one of these so badly! Anything with Price on it and I was sold.

              ooooh...., this brings back memories. I remember attempting to make a shrunken head out of an apple once. I don't think it had anything to do with this kit..... but fond memory nonetheless .

                  Neat!

                  I remember them ads from a way back. And this:

                    Had one. Sold it. Regret it.

                    Thankfully they're much cheaper now than when I bought it. I see them going for very little on eBay these days.
