I like many of the blow molds produced in the late 1960s but this one is my favorite. The designer was really talented in incorporating a skewed perspective to the haunted house. Nicely detailed and compact, this is one of the first ones I place in my front garden window each season. Although not rare, finding one with no fading or other condition issues is a pleasant surprise. Sustainable guide value is $65, but given that the seller is offering this with free shipping, this may be one to pick up.

Vintge Halloween blow mold Haunted house EXCELLENT!
This is my favorite blow-mold design, hands down. The designer was very gifted as the changing perspectives of the house keep it interesting year after year. The seller, long one on my endorsed list, is right - this is a devilishly difficult one to find, especially in this stellar condition. Snap it up if you don't already own it.

I think this is my favorite blow-mold of all of them. The design is quirky and tries to impart a real feeling of skewed perspective. Empire Plastics did a great job rendering this haunted house as it does convey a spooky feel. This design, as well as several others, can be found on pages 108 and 109 of my new third edition.

I love the 1960s blow-molds, using them to decorate a garden window seasonally. This one is arguably the best designed light-up with its scrunched dimensionality and relatively compact size. I was glad to see it fetched a very respectable $66.
