Vintage Halloween Postcards ~ Witches

 More postcards from Weird Christmas.

R.I.P. Ace Frehley

Well, here's another post I didn't plan on making.

Ace Frehley, the original lead guitar player for KISS, passed away at the age of 74. I've been a huge KISS fan since the summer of 1977. The first KISS record I ever owned was a 45. The A side was Christeen Sixteen (sung by Gene Simmons), the B side was Shock Me (sung by Ace Frehley).

In 1978/1979 Collegeville released KISS costumes for Halloween. Here's some pictures I found on the interwebs.

Rest in peace Space Ace.

Here's a costume released by Illusive Concepts in 1999.

NECA has been releasing Ben Cooper Costume Kids action figures in waves. 

They recently released a set of KISS figures.

R.I.P. Drew Struzan

This wasn't the post I had planned for today. But when I heard that illustrator Drew Struzan passed away on Monday, I knew I had to make a tribute post. 

Mr. Struzan is most famous for painting movie posters such as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter and hundreds more. 

To make this post relevant to the Countdown to Halloween, I'll include a few of his spooky movie posters. 

Rest in peace Drew Struzan.

Vintage Halloween Postcards ~ Black Cats

The Weird Christmas page over on X usually posts photos of vintage Christmas postcards for most of the year. But around this time, they share vintage Halloween postcards. 

I'm going to borrow some of their pictures and share them this week.

Up first are postcards that feature Black Cats.
