Just because it's December doesn't mean that I'm no longer in October mode. And heck, this thing is shaped like a xmas tree anyway, and-- oops, I guess I'm getting ahead of myself here. Okay yes, I found another vintage Halloween costume. And unlike my post title above, it's actually called Creepy Creatures Witch Costume and MASK, unfortunately the mask is missing. Still, I couldn't pass it up for the unique factor as I've never seen one of these in person before, not to mention the vinyl costume part is in great shape too for 1981 (box is a little rough around the edges but still colorful and displays nicely.) I even had my son put it on as he definitely falls into the "fits all 7 - teen" range, but alas it's a bit too small on him and he absolutely refused to let me photograph him wearing it (less about him being in a kiddie costume and more about not wanting to look like a flame retardant KKK goon from the Negative-verse.) Fun packaging, love the tree hole window, and super cute photography and artwork on all sides of the box. I also adore the small gush of dripping blood (is your throat slit?) that pours all over the top silly skull button. I'm not sure this is the kind of costume I would have ever picked out as a kid, but it's all freakily fun none the less. And now comes the part of the post where I ask some nice, giving person out there who possibly has the mask to kindly give it to me. Please. Help me complete this kooky thing. I'll trade books and comics or whatever for it. Please. Help. Begging.

That does look neat displayed. It seems strange to me that the mask straps are supposed to go on the outside of that hood. Also that there is not one reflective safety feature on the back. Creepy Witch says, "They'll only see you coming!"
I think I would have had to at least make a hat brim to augment this thing. It would certainly mitigate the Klannishness.
I'm sorry I can't help you in finding the original mask, though an old witch or old woman mask could be used to nearly complete the costume.
That is the great thing about Halloween costumes, you can customize them if you want and no one can say otherwise.
Your mask is on it's way Mr. K
Just turn it around and go as a four-eyed robot with a simple paint job -- or don't your son's call was the right call!
Ah, the good ol' days -- when box art was 100 times better than what was actually IN the box! (You can always MAKE the mask, Mr. Karswell!)
