SPOOKY KOOOKS!

1

Of course I had these as a kid. They glowed and were super super rad! I remember being fascinated how they would sit on your finger and glow like radioactive waste. These things really glowed big time! I’d run all over the house with these glowing friends!
FAVEFunny enough, my fave was always Daddy Booregard with the big clock, (Brother Mortimer was my close second fave) and at night I had to have him sitting on my end table or I wasn’t gonna fall asleep! If he wasn’t on my end table, it just wasn’t happening. My mother had to search the house for him until he was found and brought to his night time spot!
Despite the enormous watch and chain he wears around his neck, the Kooky Spooky patriarch, Daddy Booregard, is not a rapper…LOL! Just a killer ghost puppet!
I’m sure I remember a price tag of 69 cents or thereabouts when they came out and they were A MUST HAVE! I just wouldn’t leave the store without one. That’s how I got the whole family as a child. Kooky Spookys were basically just rubber finger puppets shaped like ghosts that glowed in the dark from Hasbro  in 1968. To me, they were the end and the beginning — their packaging was designed like a haunted house! Just that alone makes them the best thing in the whole world….LOL!
Mail away kookySpookyHouseThere were five finger puppets that made up the whole family…. Daddy Booregard, Brother Mortimer, Teena Terror, Grandma Macreak, and Baby Spook’em….
Hasbro also released a one time mail away only Haunted House Premium. Harder to find than any of the actual puppets, the mail order-only cardboard play house for the Kooky Spookys finger puppets is just so cool. Unfortunately, I never owned or knew about it as a child. I’m sure I just ripped the ghosts packages apart without reading about the mail-away — darn it!
But I do remember reading the blurb on the bottom left of the package that says: They’re tiny…they’re silly…they’re friendly all right…they’re fun in the day, they glow in the night!
They forgot to write that you just can’t live without them!
