This is the info card that came with the package, detailing its contents.
Texas Chainsaw Repair Exclusive T-Shirt - Value $15?
Wow, I've never seen Leatherface look so friendly before! I LOVE this t-shirt! This will be perfect to wear on Halloween.
Rocky Horror Picture Show Sticker - Value $2.40
Janet! Dr. Scott! Janet! Brad! Rocky! Sticker - Value $2.40
I didn't see the Rocky Horror Picture Show until waaaaaayyyy after the 70's were long over, but wow, what a classic! I think it was still playing weekend nights well into the 1990's. Are they still showing it near you?
Apple Surprise Lapel Pin - Value $5?
This is another exclusive item, as well as this month's Fun Fact item. The Fun Fact stickers says that the razor-blades-in-apples thing was a hoax, but it's still pretty scary.
Clockwork Orange Bottle Opener - Value $3?
This is another movie I didn't see until long after the 70's were over, but definitely one of the creepiest movies I have ever seen. This is a perfect selection for the Halloween season! Plus we can always use more bottle openers.
Black Cat Black Light Bookmark - Value $0.37
This is a great Halloween bookmark, but I was confused about the connection to the 1970's until I realized it glows under black light. How cool! The 70's was definitely a very black-light-heavy era
Wax Lips - Value $0.98
Wow, I haven't seen candy wax lips since the 70's! How funny! I had to give them to my son to try. Both kids thought they were hilarious but gross! Haha!
Verdict: The 1970's was a really creepy decade, wasn't it? I know lots of fun and awesome things were happening then, too, but this month's box does a great job at recalling all the great (and sometimes corny) scary stuff from the era. The value of everything this month totals around $29, which is on the low side for Retro Pop Box, but still good for a $25 box, especially when it's so well curated.
What do you think of the 70's box from Retro Pop Box? What's your favorite decade?
