Collegeville knock-off masks find!

[Enik24]

I was at my local swapmeet when I found a load of knock-off masks! I bought the masks becuase they looked retro,and when I got home I found out that these were palette swaped bootlegs of Collegeville masks!

1.Here is the first one. As you can see it is a direct copy of the Clash of the Titans Medusa costume.

2.This one is my favorite,because it's Witchiepoo!

3.This one is apperently based on a Zest Ben cooper Mail-away. I would like to know more details on this one if anyone has them. I found a pic ont this fourm and wasn't sure if this was arepilca. It turns out the sculpt is the same,the paint applications are just different. The bat earings should be a dead give away

4.I'm not so sure about this one so any sort of I.D. would help. It looks to be the Spooky Monster costume from the 1973 catolog,but I'm not sure.

5.Finally I do not think this is a knock-off but rather generic. However if anyone reconizes it,it would help!

To conclude all this,I am marveled at my find and how ever the molds were found. Any information is helpful!

Those are all great! Did you happen to get any extras? I'd love to get one of each, especially the melted face, Medusa, and Witchiepoo.

Oh, and since these were originally made in the US and are vacuformed, I'll bet (but don't actually know) that someone either bought the molds when Collegeville was sold off some years back or perhaps just stumbled upon them. It wouldn't be very difficult to make them with those ingredients.

Wow, that's quite a find! The Medusa didn't actually change too much, compared to the others.

There was a thread on the UMA board about these, with the Medusa and Melting Man/Spooky Monster discussed:
