May The Fourth Be With You.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...


Halloween, 1979
Ben Cooper Darth Vader. More machine than man now. I obviously had no problem going to the dark side...

Halloween, 1980
Ben Cooper C-3PO. Protocol Droid. Human-Cyborg Relations. I also learned to say "Trick or Treat" in Bocce...

Halloween 1980

One week to go and the posts keep coming! Two years ago, I pulled out the old Halloween costume photos from 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978(especially creepy!) and 1979. I've got a few more, so I've decided to pick up where we left off.

On to the 80s!!

1980. The start of the new decade. The Empire Strikes Back had just been released and Star Wars mania was all the rage. Every kid wanted to be Luke, Han, Chewy, Vader, Yoda or Boba Fett. Me? I wanted to be C-3Po, Human Cyborg Relations. Protocol Droid. Speaks Bocci. Ended the movie in pieces.

Scrapes, who at the time was two years old, decided on the horrifying bird-creature-to-stalk-your-nightmares, Woodstock, from the Charlie Brown comics. Apparently he was going trick-ot-treating and then heading straight to the pumpkin patch to meet up with Linus and await the arrival of the Great Pumpkin...
