Tonight on Necronomicast, it is my pleasure to welcome back to the program documentary filmmaker Rob Caprilozzi to discuss his newest film “Dressing Up Halloween: The Story of Ben Cooper, Inc.”
The company Ben Cooper, Inc. is one of the biggest game-changers in the history of the Halloween holiday, responsible for mass producing the very first licensed Halloween costumes that children in America ever had at their disposal. With the plastic masks and the vinyl smocks, Ben Cooper’s costumes have truly become as iconic as the characters they transformed us into.
The documentary shines the light on how Ben Cooper Inc. went from a vaudeville costume company to a powerhouse that dominated the Halloween costume market for decades. For over 60 years, Ben Cooper helped children everywhere evolve into Skeletor, Darth Vader, Superman and more, in celebration of one of the most beloved holidays of the year.
"Dressing Up Halloween: The Story of Ben Cooper, Inc" is availale everywhere on your favorite VOD service.
