During our Countdown To Halloween last year, I covered Stark’s Bone Chilling Treats from 1985<\/a> and when I did, I mentioned how much I would have liked to add a Gummi Ghosts package to my collection.\u00a0\u00a0 Since that time I’ve been lucky enough to track one down and today I’m excited to feature this Halloween treat from out of the 1980’s – Stark’s Gummi Ghosts!<\/p>\n

The first time I spotted Stark’s Gummi Ghosts was on a vintage trade ad when I was putting my post together for last year’s Countdown – so I think it’s good to revisit that ad today.\u00a0 Here it is:<\/p>\n

If you zoom in, you can see a great-looking full-display box of Gummi Ghosts:<\/p>\n

Now that you’ve seen that, here is the actual Gummi Ghosts package I was able to add to my collection this year:<\/p>\n

\"Stark

I think that’s a great-looking bit of Halloween seasonal packaging.<\/p>\n

Stark would later go on to update the Gummi Ghosts packaging design in the early 1990’s – and you can see one of the updated packages over at the CandyWrapperMuseum.com by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And that’s everything I’ve got to share on Stark’s Gummi Ghosts Halloween seasonal release from the 1980’s.\u00a0\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n
