happy halloween!!
for halloween a classic vintage game from transogram ~
green ghost, the original glow in the dark classic from 1965 ~
toxic never had this game or played it in her day, but my hubby did as a kid.. once while he & his brother were playing green ghost with the lights off their dad snuck up outside the window nearby & scared them to pieces!! ~
the glowing board has red spaces to move along on this version (there were several different versions of this game with different color schemes, but this is my favorite one..) ~
it has a haunted house, tree & shipwreck, & also 3 pits that are only opened with the right key ~
you get to choose to be one of 4 different pets, a cat, a bat, a vulture or a mouse ~
& you are trying to find the green ghost's lost child, kelly, but he looks just like all the other little ghost children.. (these small vintage game pieces would never fly today as the ghost children are veritable throat plugs..) ~
the ghost children are hiding in the pits along with scary snakes, bones & bat feathers (?!) ~
the snakes are just pieces of old rubber bands ~
gameplay is surprisingly complex, but once all the ghost children are found the green ghost will spin to reveal which one is kelly ~
whoever found kelly wins, so basically the entire confusing game is superfluous & it all is decided at the end with one spin.. lol ~
the box is half the fun ~
with its cool glowy graphics ~
it really does glow in the dark quite well even after almost 50 years ~
$5.99 at bargain city! expect to pay much more for one of these nowadays ~
the transogram company also made the cool glowing vintage kabala game ~
this halloween my son & hubby & i decided to try to play ~
the resulting youtubes are kinda hilarious ~
the rules ~
have a safe & excellent halloween & remember to keep all the good candy for yourself!!
ghost & toxic

we had to get the new halloween happy meal treat buckets from mcdonald's this year ~
the orange one this year is a skeleton ~
they each come with stickers & activities along with your happy meal inside ~
mix'n mash monsters ~
the white one is a mummy ~
stickers! ~
unfortunately after trying several times at several different mcd's we found out that many just never got the other 2 (purple & green) pails :( ~
the kids meal craze has been slowing way down these days ~
