The mask is pretty good - but too bad the smock isn't as fabulous as the shimmering one worn by the TV Sleestaks. I guess I should stop complaining about these damn costumes by now, but WHY is there a horrible drawing of a Pakuni family rather than a portrait of Marshall, Will and Holly??? Another fun Krofft adventure show was ELECTRA WOMAN AND DYNA GIRL - which aired as part of ABC's KROFFT SUPERSHOW. Electra Woman was brilliantly portrayed by delightful daytime diva Deidre Hall (best known as the sometimes Satan-possessed Dr Marlena Evans on DAYS OF OUR LIVES).
Okay, I have to admit - this costume is pretty good, but I wonder how many little girls (or gay men) recycled the mask and put on a lab coat and green contacts to go as Marlena for Halloween???A lesser known Krofft show was ABC's BIGFOOT AND WILDBOY . Here's the costume...
Bruce Vilanch never looked better.

And finally - just for fun here's the over-the-top Witchie-Poo from H.R. PUFNSTUF again cause I just love Billie Hayes. Check out her cool website! She's adorable and does great things for animals.

Thanks for the link. I loved loved loved Witchiepoo when I was a kid.
Hey Doug, I love your blog... HR Puffinstuff rocked!
: )
(Hope you're well!)
No, the Electra Woman costume is not pretty good. Electra Woman did not wear her face on her costume. Anytime that happens, the costume automatically sucks.
Of course, I do have one that I bought off eBay a couple years ago because I must have everything Electra Woman. But that's beside the point.
Marlena possessed by the devil was the best that Days of Our Lives had ever been. I miss that stuff.
I had actually planned on going to WeHo on Halloween as Susan Banks one year, but just never got around to putting together a costume. :-(
I wore that Sleestak costume in the ‘70s and loved it. Kids don’t see things the same way adults do. It never occurred to me that the smock was really lame.
