Mostly Ghostly!

Here's a fun, 70's Cadaco family board game you can play all October, where assembling skeleton sections on a torture wheel rack inside a dreary cave setting is just what the doctor (Dr. Butcher MD) ordered! Who can put that petrifyin' plastic corpse back together first! Whoooo?!! Nowww, tear 'em apart, and start all over again. Uhhh, what exactly is "ghostly" about any of this, anyway?

  1. I had never seen or heard of this game before, it most likely is obscure or didn't sell to well outside of the month of October.

    The instructions are rather simple, one could call it bare bones.

    I see on the hip bone the words "Made In" but I can't make out the name. Is it Hong Kong? China? Taiwan?

    The size of these skeletons are just the right size for a doll house, if one wanted a haunted doll house or one that featured a skeleton in the closet.

    Thanks for the Halloween game themed post.

  2. These are huge versions of the spooky earrings I remember from my teens! That's amazing. I like the cover of the box so much: The color scheme, that lettering, and the trio of spooked-out skeletons discovering their fate by candlelight. Magical!

    The little bats on the instructions page are awesome too, of course.
