Retro-a-go-go! makes our first appearance at Mask-Fest, a special event in conjunction with HorrorHound Weekend on September 8-10, 2017 at the Marriott Indianapolis East in Indianapolis, Indiana. Mask-fest is a convention dedicated to the art of monsters and brings together celebrities and artists who present the largest art-driven convention experience outside of Hollywood. You’ll be able to see and buy Retro-a-go-go!’s extremely popular Ghoulsville™ Horror Décor in all its ghoulish glory.
In 2016, Retro-a-go-go! created a buzz in the mask and monster community with the debut of our first series of Giant, Vac-Tastic Plastic vintage wall hanging monster masks. Series 1 launched with seven masks: Big Frankie (Sold Out), Bloody Werewolf, Fun-House Devil, Cold Death, Electric Wolfman (Sold Out), Vampyra Girl and Green Slime Skull. The nearly 2-foot tall masks brought about memories of Halloween’s past from monster and horror fans around the world.
2017 brought about the launch of a second and third series of limited run masks. Series 2 introduced our relationship with Ben Cooper, one of the largest and most prominent Halloween costume manufacturers in the United States. Every mask comes in a collector's edition box that is Presented by Ben Cooper and includes a clear top an an homage to the original window boxes and packaging of yesteryear. Seven of the ten masks introduced in Series 2 featured the ability to “Glow in the Dark”. Series 2 includes:
Blood of Dracula, Space Invader, Underwater Terror (Sold Out), Crud Mummy, Radioactive Astro Zombie, Fish Face, Mummy, Crypt Vampire, Alien Master and Deep Space Astro Zombie.
