My Favorite Halloween Costume? King Kong, of course.

This October has zoomed by so fast that I’m scrambling to make sure I get all the Halloween goodies on the site. Up for your viewing pleasure today is my favorite vintage Ben Cooper Halloween costume.

Ladies and Gentleman, I give you… Kong! Who else? If you know me, you know my love for this cuddly critter.

The graphic on this costume’s shirt is so bad it is borderline awesome. What the designer did with just four colors is superb. We’ve all seen the 70’s movie poster, but have you ever seen it rendered like this? You’re welcome.
