Kooky Spooks Make-Up (Commercial, 1981)

Views: 1768

Here's a commercial for Kooky Spooks Make-Up kit, where budding trick-or-treaters could be made up into skull faces, mummy faces, ghoul faces, goblins, clowns, and one other category (six frightening disguises to choose from). When the make-up dries, it cracks, to make children look older (as if!), and thus really scarier.

PM Magazine Chicago - "Rocky Horror" (1981)

Views: 2398

Here's a neat story on The Rocky Horror Picture Show musical that aired on PM Magazine Chicago featuring Mike Leiderman.

This is from the master 3/4" tape of the story, so it doesn't have the PM Magazine graphics that were shown on the off-air version.

Note: The audio on this is in stereo, with Leiderman's story voiceover on one channel and the music in another most of the time. (so if you're only hearing one or the other, that's the reason) I didn't g...
