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.
We had one of these when I was young. I believe it was my older brother's, but we had fun with it. If I recall, you basically cut/carve the face design loosely in the apple, then you heat it someway so that it dehydrates and shrivels up, then decorate it. Fun stuff, and I totally forgot about it until you posted this. Thanks for the memory.
ReplyDeleteThat lamp looks like something my cousin Francine made with those kits you could buy to turn empty beer bottles and jars into glassware and decorations. Can you get one of those commercials?
