Rob LaPlace

When my wife and I began collecting vintage Halloween collectibles over a decade ago our aim was to collect only the finest absolute rarest and elusive examples. Our collecting philosophy hasn’t wained over the years. Today our collection is a reflection of those high standards we stayed true to. Our guiding principles have helped us amass a laudable collection noteworthy for its superb condition, rarity, and one-of-a-kind never before seen examples representing quality, integrity, and authenticity™. The photos depicted on this site, including the scrolling parallax images, are authentic vintage Halloween collectibles exclusively from our collection either past or present unless otherwise noted.
