Ben Cooper Halloween Costumes from Yesteryear

During the 1940’s and 1950’s, Halloween costumes weren’t as advanced as ours today. Ben Cooper Inc. primarily manufactured Halloween costumes from the late 1930’s to the late 1980’s, remaining one of the three largest Halloween costume manufacturers ever in the U.S. Inexpensive plastic masks and vinyl smocks were an iconic American symbol of Halloween from the 1950’s to the 1970’s, turning Cooper known as the “Halston of Halloween “and the “High Priest” of Halloween.  Take a look at these iconic Ben Cooper Halloween costumes from yesteryear
