So, we've given some focus to decorating on the inside. Now let's take a look at some of those familiar faces we've seen while trick-or-treating or driving around the neighborhood at night. I'm talking about illuminated blow molds. These decorations first started gaining ground in the 1960's but they really hit their apex in the mid-1980s through early 1990's. For years, Empire Plastic was the master of blow molds - Halloween and otherwise. Unfortunately, they are now longer in business. However, their major competitor General Foam Plastics is still going strong and actually acquired most of Empire's molds. Blow molds are available in a variety of sizes from 12 inch table top sizes to 4-5 feet tall. Make the jump to see photos of some of my favorite blow molds.  |
