1987 Imagineering Halloween Catalog Featuring Elvira




The one thing that was a constant for children of the 70s and 80s was as soon as the seasonal aisle of your local drugstore was done with back to school, it became filled with gory fun items in anticipation of Halloween.
There were items such as fake fangs and vampire blood that we all wished were made year round and the biggest producer of those items was a company called Imagineering.
Now for your reading pleasure this October we have what Imagineering had to offer in 1987 including their latest license, Elvira : Mistress of the Dark. 

Like a lot of males who grew up in the 1980s I developed an instant crush on the Mistress of the Dark the first time I saw her and pretty much still have it but even I've got to think this one is pushing it a little:

Halloween Costumes: Best Selection in Town!


Love, love, love this ad from '79, all the faves are here, Mork, Remco KISS your face, Imagineering's "The Face" but the big standout on this piece would be the "Incredible Melting Man" makeup kit by Imagineering. Based on the movie of the same name (which is also a great episode of Mystery Science Theatre 3000) the melting man kit was short lived and now quite desirable to collectors.

More Halloween stuff all day!

Imagineering Make Up Ad

Oh this Imagineering stuff makes me crazy, it's really hard not to go spend hundreds on Ebay when you see ads like this. The pretend blood was schoolyard magic...
