Cannibal Holocostume

This entire post will likely offend a few people for a number of various reasons, but here it comes anyway-- it's yet another vintage boxed-up Halloween find from the Karswell Collection, and this time around being a very old Super Halco Brand Cannibal Masquerade Costume. Bright pink box, with a neato die-cut clown face lid, those giant pink lips poking through the gaping mouth hole almost seem to fit perfectly, that is, until you actually lift the lid and see what jungle jitter terrors await inside. So yeah, what we have here is a rather poor, cartoonish mask representation of an African headhunter, aka a cannibal, (actually two versions of the mask presented here, if you scroll towards the bottom you'll see another even older, gauze example from possibly the 30's or early 40's.) Annnnd on an even poorer note, --this time in regards to color contrast and design-- the smock frock concept features the rest of the cannibal's body from the shoulders down, and holding a decapitated human skull. It would all pop a bit better if not rendered in blue fuzzy flocking on gold cloth material, so a big thumbs down on whoever thought that was a good idea, --unless the intention was to give someone a migraine while trying to decipher the image. The ageless wrinkles don't help matters much either. And rounding things out, and making this post even more loathe worthy, we have the notorious poster art for Ruggero Deodato's 1980 Italian drive-in "classic", Cannibal Holocaust (post title makes sense now, eh?) And oh yes you have too seen it, --don't even act like that, ya big freakin' liar. One other thing I want to add to further leave you all with a really bad taste in your mouths: Though the side of the box says 807 degrees is the proper temperature for cooking a large child, in actuality what you want to do is..........
