Monster Games

Here's some mostly spooky games from the 1972 Sears Wish Book. Anyone have any of these games? I only have a Ouija Board and a newer version of Clue.

  1. We had Stay Alive, Ouija Board and a newer version of Clue when I was a teen. We used to take the marbles out of Stay Alive and play with them.

  2. Had a few.
    Voice of the Mummy was great.
    Miss that one a lot.
    Wonky record player and all.

  3. We had a newer Clue and a Ouija board. I remember Stay Alive, not sure if we had it or someone else. A couple of the others ring a bell, but nothing I can remember.

  4. To this day I'm still perplexed that Ouija boards were packaged like board games and sold to kids. Sure, I know that's largely the target audience, but it's just weird...

    All cool games I wished I still had them.

  6. I had WHICH WITCH. I am an only kid but I enjoyed setting it up and playing it, even by myself. It was a lot like MOUSETRAP in that respect.

  7. I had a version of Clue. But I recall the Ouija Boards making the rounds in my neighbourhood.

    Reading this post, I'm reminded of just how much the Sears Wishbook has deteriorated over the years. :/

  8. Which Witch was by far my favorite game as a child, and I still have a copy just in case I get the itch. It delivers!

    (Also: Though I didn't have the Barnabas Collins game as a kid, I was gifted one a few years back.)
