Ideal to blog on Halloween, this is my vintage Dekkertoys 'Dick Smith' Horror Make-Up boxed set from 1976. I found this at a car boot sale about 15 years ago. I couldn't believe it!
My set is incomplete but its a scarce thing and many items are thankfully still there. It was endorsed and developed by the famous horror make-up wizard Dick Smith.
This Dekkertoys set is the 1976 UK variant of the boxed set first available by Pressman in 1975 in the United States.
Dick Smith was the make-up maestro on the seminal spookfest The Exorcist and also on the less obvious The Godfather as written on the box.
There is an interesting biog of Mr. Smith in a neat booklet that came with this fab set.
Have you got one or another monster make-up set?
What do you think of Dick Smith's film work?
