I LIVED FOR THIS SHIT!
My 12 year old self back in '78 sporting some righteous EVIL EYES that glowed in the dark! I used to carry these things around in my pocket until that horrible day I lost them...I'm still heartbroken over it. But before I lost them I logged some decent scares under my belt.
VAMPIRE BLOOD and it's repulsive cousin, GREEN DRAGON BLOOD were the staples of my youth. I think I ingested more of this Vampire Blood than any other person on the planet. I was deep into my KISS phase at this young age, and I wanted to be Gene Simmons. I would practice in front of the mirror spitting and drooling blood like the God of Thunder, playing air guitar, and looking cool as shit while I was doing it! Sometimes I would go the extra mile and wear the makeup...I was an incredible sight to behold.
The Dragon Blood was much harder to find and a bit of a joke, we all know Dragons bleed RED Blood, so who the hell were they trying to fool? So I used it for snot and/or puss instead. THAT got some great reactions, especially since it was non-toxic and you could eat it...
SCAR STUFF was the shits! It was a close second to the Vampire Blood in terms of how much money I spent on this stuff. You could make all kinds of hideous things with it, and the best part was it actually stuck to you skin...and hair. With a tub of this and THE MONSTER MAKE-UP LAB, I thought I was Lon Chaney. There was nothing I couldn't make with them.
I only remember getting one tub of GLOW GOOP and not being too thrilled with it, my hands didn't glow like the picture so I was a little crest fallen...
EVIL TEETH...do I REALLY need to talk about how awesome Glow-in-the-Dark Fangs are? The only draw back was the fact they were spit collectors, and every so often you had to dispose of the extra liquid that would form inside the cavities, You either blotted them on your shirt sleeve or sucked it down.
More often than not I just sucked it down.
I LOVED MY EVIL EYES.
The OOZING ORB was bitchin' as well. I had two of them of course. Depending on my mood, I would either be oozing from both eyes or I'd switch it up a little bit and alternate between 1 oozing eye and 1 evil eye at the same time. That's how I used to roll.
STICKERS...LAME AS HELL. Never bought those. They were for amateurs.
...same for these stupid HOODWINKS. WTF?!
But THIS! THIS WAS THE HOLY GRAIL!!!
Everything you ever needed in one package, EVIL EYES, GLOW IN-THE-DARK FANGS and 2 SCARS! This was guaranteed to scare the piss outta anyone you ran into, especially if you jumped out from behind a dark corner and screamed bloody murder.
...I wanna be 12 years old again.
