2008 Halloween Countdown 23: Elvira Accessories, Makeup, Tattoos And Air Freshners

Imagineering held the rights to Elvira in the 1980s and put out everything from child costumes to wigs. They also made accessories and makeup. I did manage to find the snake earrings, wristbands, Macabre Makeup Crayons, Midnight Kiss Lip Color, Flashy Lashes, Nightmare Nail Enamel and temporary tattoos.

I did open the snake earrings and tried them on. They have screw-like fastners so even people without pierced ears can wear them. Luckily, I bought two packages of the wristbands but only opened one.

In 1989, Medo put out Elvira air freshners. I am not sure how many different ones they had but I managed to snag two at a local store and found a third one online.
