green ghost game

^{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 ~

toxic won the 'pirates of the caribbean' book from her elementary school carnival many years ago, we'd like it back, but it has become very rare & desireable & expensive.. update ~ found!

like 'baleful beasts & other eerie creatures', a very creepy vintage book that traumatized my son in his elementary school days. the patchwork monkey story in that book scared him so bad that he left the book on the floor of his closet till it was way overdue at the school library. he just wanted to forget all about it! we turned it back in & could've purchased it at the school library sale, when it was just an old unwanted book, but he was still too nervous about it! lol. now we both want it back,
but it's going for around $175 if you can find one.. oh well. we'll find one eventually, we seem to find everything eventually..
