Remember them? I still have both of the ones I had as a kid: my Batman costume and my Spock costume.
Wow! Are the cheap rubber band straps still intact? I wouldn't tug on them...
Yep, the masks are still completely original and functional. And I would play in those from time to time throughout the year, not just at Halloween. I also had a Batman utility belt (Bat-cuffs, Bat-laser—or some type of ray gun—and Bat-communicator) and a Star Trek utility belt (phaser, tricorder, and communicator) that I wore with the costumes. But I no longer have the utility belts, only a couple of the accessories.
Anyone remember those terrible 'Ben Cooper' costumes from the 70's and 80's?
The Good Job, Brain! podcast (a locally-produced trivia podcast that I've been touting since it debuted), did a segment on these ridiculously cheesy (but popular) Halloween costumes.
