We made a GIANT Vintage COSTUME BOX Prop Display!

- We made a huge life size vintage Ben Cooper mask and costume box prop display. This fun and spooky photo op idea was meant to bring back some Halloween season nostalgia as a photo booth for a haunted house. Some of us remember those smelly vinyl costumes with the plastic vac-u-form masks and how they never seemed to last through trick or treating. Between Ben Cooper, Collegeville, and Rubie's there were so many great characters to choose from. We thought this was a fun idea and would make for a colorful fun pic with all our horror and Halloween fans. The wall panels were built like our standard studio flats or haunt wall panels. We had two sides of the huge costume and mask box printed on vinyl graphic material. We then cut out the center so people could pose inside the product box. We plan on turning the Ben Cooper vintage costume box into a themed shelf for Jeana's vintage Halloween monster collection.

I was 5 years old in 1972 and I was a Ben Cooper Spook Town Devil with a DIY cardboard pitchfork. After recently seeing a Halloween picture of my Devilish self annoying my little sister (a Ben Cooper Gorilla) I decided I needed to find that Devil mask. I knew mine was long gone so naturally.... eBay. Within minutes I found THE same mask, same size (small) and it was in near mint condition - no box and no elastic band though. Made an offer of $22 and it arrived this week. I'm 5 years old again, even if for a few minutes. The magic is still in the mask over 50 years later.
I love it!!! I'm so glad you are reunited 🖤🧡🖤
The “mis-registration” of the printing plates around the faces is the perfect detail. I remember getting costumes like this, trying to enlarge the eyeholes a bit with a pair of scissors, and inevitably straying from the desired cut line which resulted in a narrow “finger” of styrene that would poke me in the face. But I didn’t care because... IT WAS HALLOWE’EN! What a great oversized prop. It looks like it belongs in Disney’s Toy Story or A Bug’s Land...
Thank you so much!
Despite all the decades between, I can 'feel' every single element of those Ben Cooper costumes and have vivid recollections of the box, and counting down the days until we could put it on...I can feel that elastic-string thing that was ready to snap at any moment, the rigid and unforgiving interior of the masks, and most especially that crazy fire-hazard vinyl smock that could somehow simultaneously make you overheat and allow you to freeze.
I love absolutely everything about those wacky costumes and the Halloweens they represent, and I’d have been thrilled to have a shot at getting some photos in that booth…great concept and execution, guys!
Hollywood Haunter is back in the house ! Oh yeah !
🎉🎉🎉
What a super fun way to pay tribute to that era of dress up
Thank you so much!
I love it!!! Ben Cooper costumes were everything as a kid. I only remember wearing two... Luke Skwalker in X-Wing gear and Wicket the Ewok. Those were the days!
Two awesome choices 🙌
I never had one of these as my costume but remember them vividly as they were sold when I was a child!
I always wanted scary costumes and i’d buy those flimsy masks like those included in these boxes, but always asked my mom to make the rest of the costume!!!
The final photo up turned out amazing and so nostalgic!!!
You could even rent it for events!!!! I bet there’s a market for it! Like in conventions and swap meets, even at comicons… 😃
It's funny how something so simple brought us so much joy. I bet you had some amazing costume ideas.
We would absolutely love to make more of these. People had so much fun taking their picture. You could see their faces light up.
Kindergarten through third grade, I had the Ben Cooper tiger costume. Every year I noticed the costume getting a little tighter and shorter.
I bet that was so cute! I'm gonna have to look that one up.
This always amazes me to look at. It's mind blowing that you guys did this and chose the perfect box. So glad you added back the white border!
That was the perfect spot for it and the Halloween Museum. When I got done with the first path thru the house, I was out there getting something to eat and drink and kept seeing people file thru the museum and taking pictures in the photo op.
Funny thing is...that photo op is WAY better than the ones at Universal Studios Hollywood and my girlfriend who works for finance in entertainment there is always complaining about the money they waste on terrible photo ops lol
Thank you so much! So glad you got to see it in person.
Amazing 🤩 I love the idea of turning it into a shelving unit for your Monster collection 🧟♂️🧡🧛🏻♀️
Wow great work guys. This is fantastic for marketing as in a lot of haunts guests can’t really take pictures inside but having proper photo opportunities gives people a reason to take them and share on their social media 👏
Totally!
You guys are total Halloween Freaks! I'm also obsessed with Halloween and enjoy watching your awesome videos so much. Love you guys.
Thanks so much!!
I don’t remember what the costume was, but I sure do remember the smell that it had. that has stuck with me all these decades. 🎃
Yes!
You did such a great job. I bet this catches on in the haunt industry.
That would be awesome. Hope they hire us to make them 😆😂
@@HollywoodHaunter They should. 🎃
That might be the greatest thing I see all year. Fantastic idea/ job.🎃👻👍
Wow, Thanks!
I was going to ask about the vinyl- that’s a pretty perfect installation! Something that large is always a challenge to handle, much less install!! I worked with vinyl graphics for years and I gotta say how impressive this is! (I hope it’s UV protected) The concept is awesome, the choice of box, all of it works so well. I was thinking about your Happy Meal Boo Buckets the other day and was curious if you ever displayed them, and this project seems in line with them, like they’d go well together in a big display.
Also love the idea you mentioned about making it into shelves, it would look great!
The buckets still need lids 😆🤣 But they are patiently waiting and hopefully we can get to them this year. They would go great together. Thanks always for your comments 🧡🖤🧡
I only had one of those costumes as a kid, and I can still smell the vinyl! 😄 I was Casper.
I had a Casper costume one year, I also remember having astronaut and Batman costumes
I love the Casper costume! I'm hoping to find one at a yard sale one of these years 🤞
That is so fantastic!!! I love it!! 🥰 🧡🖤🧡
Thank you!
I remember being Bingo of the Banana Splits . Tra La La.
What an amazing idea! LOVE this. I wish I had thought of this at my park. Great job.
It was so much fun!
yay! miss you all
We've missed you guys too!
Welcome back it's been so long. I was wondering what happened to you guys. As always it looks great that is so cool I love it. ❤
Thank you so much!!
I love this! Now I'm thinking about finding a pic of one of the old monster costume boxes and having it printed on a shower curtain. I think Walmart Photo will print a photo on a shower curtain for around $75.
That would be fun! I know someone put the masks on fabric before and made pillows.
Groovy idea.
Thanks 😄
Awesome, love this idea. I remember the plastic mask and vinyl costume. I was Casper. I don't know for sure the brand but the boxes look familiar. Great job guys 🧡
Very cool!
So awesome, brings back memories. I was Casper with the old plastic mask and costume. I don't remember the brand exactly but the old costume box looks familiar. Great job guys 🧡
Thanks for sharing!!
Wow, it turned out so nice!
Thank you!
What a great idea!
Thank you so much!
Great work, and such a cool idea!
Thanks so much!
Wow that is so cool!
Thanks!
LOVE this!🎉👏❤️❤️
Thank you!
love it!!!!!
🧡🖤🧡
it is awesome, I was a witch when I was a kid
Nice!
Incredible!! So, was the graphic printed on vinyl?
Yes it was 👍
I remember Spiderman ... it was not Marvel's Spiderman . HAHA!!!
Lol! I'm gonna have to look that one up.
Dig it
So cool! How did you protect the print in transit! I would definitely have scuffed it up 😊
I love this! I was asked to decorate a photo op for our Swamp Meet at Oaks Amusement Park in Portland Oregon. Do you have another tutorial or steps to take to my my own? Thank you for all you do to make Halloween so much fun!
That's great! We dont have another vid. What we did is just had the graphic printed and then built to the size we needed. I wish we had more time to film, but it's hard when you have deadlines.
I had the Pink Panther costume and I couldn’t stop sticking my tongue through the mouth hole on the mask. Did other people do that or was it just me?
Yup, I did that too. I probably still have scars on my tongue because the edges on those masks were SHARP!
Lol!!! I think it's a must try when your a kid 😆
