1990-91 Cabaret Catalog

I have very little information to offer on this 1990-91 Cabaret catalog. I own a copy of the catalog and made these scans almost 10 years ago now. But, I have no idea where the catalog came from. It most likely was part of a group of catalogs that I purchased or acquired through the years. No matter, I figure it's about time to at least post the pages that were Halloween costume themed. 

Of interest to collectors will be the masks from West Germany. Particularly the Clown mask, which I believe to be the one made famous by the band Slipknot...

A Halloween Care Package

Last week a package showed up from my friend, and fellow Be Something Studios fanatic, Rudy. The box was stuffed full of half a dozen monster masks dug up fresh from a costume shop find...

First up was two BSS masks... a mint still in the package "Shrunken Head" complete with tags, leather lip straps and eyes, as well as a "Gargoyle". The Gargoyle was much larger than I expected, and is easily the largest Be Something mask I own...




Up next were four  vintage masks from West Germany. This Female Vampire and Witch were the first of the batch that I pulled from the box. I have to figure out a way to work this super creepy Witch into my Halloween display this year. This mask is far too scary to leave on a shelf...


This bootleg Caveman and Werewolf were next. The Caveman is instantly among my favorite vintage dime store masks that I have in my collection...

Another big "thanks" goes out to Rudy. You made my Halloween man!
