I bought a couple of masks here in Australia and l decided to alter one a bit ...so l found some of those novelty glasses kids have for birthday parties with the googly eyes that pop out it was $2 for a packet of 2 pairs of glasses and when l got home l removed the eyes and used a set on the dracula mask last night..l used pva glue and modelling clay to hold the eyes in place and then today l used red nail polish to give him readness just inside his eyes and to make it look like he has blood on his teeth and fangs. Hope you like them.

Very nice! I always think it's cool when you can get something and remake it or redo it into something better.

Ben Cooper made those plastic costumes we wore here as kids in the 70s/80s. Originally Posted by lyrical

Some loved them & wanted nothing else BUT those costumes, some hated 'em. Either way, they're selling for a good price now on Ebay.
Here's a catalog from 1980
Collegeville was another line similar to Ben Cooper. That's the line that made the Frankenstein costume below.
To me, they're all "Ben Cooper" costumes even though there were 2 lines back then. Sorta like Kleenex is what everyone calls any facial tissue, they're all Ben Coopers to me.
This is what they looked like more or less
And this is what we looked like in 'em
