For those who grew up in the 70s, remember these costumes for Halloween?

The entire costume was hot. You had clothes on underneath, draped in fabric that didn't breathe, while you ran around the neighborhood.

I bet that sofa smells like cigarettes and the yellow on those walls is from nicotine. Not paint

This would have been in the 80s, but I had a Gremlins costume like that. Plastic face mask, the plastic suit. My parents must have forgot about it, because it was still in a closet and came across it.. Either late 2000/early 2010s. You could suffocate someone with those suits.

I remember when K&B would have piles of these for Halloween. The costumes always seemed like they might be really scary, but then the plastic outfit with illustrations would be a let down.

A flimsy arse rubber band and 2 staples - any one of those failed and the mask was permanently ruined.

You had to go to Spencers in the mall to get the really scary mask.
