[Interview] ‘Dressing Up Halloween’ Director Talks Ben Cooper Costumes Legacy

The Ben Cooper company changed Halloween forever in many ways, transforming the holiday with their innovation, drive, and some very forward thinking early licensing deals with some brands that would later become iconic costume staples, and talked to filmmaker Rob Caprilozzi recently about his new feature documentary Dressing Up Halloween, which celebrates Ben Cooper the man, the family, and the legacy of the company that revolutionized an industry with their plastic masks and vinyl smocks.

In our extended video conversation earlier this month, we also of course discussed what Halloween means to Caprilozzi on a personal level, and much more.

From Nacelle, the producers of The Toys That Made Us, The Movies That Made Us, and Disney’s Behind the Attraction, the documentary is directed by Rob Caprilozzi, produced by Rob and Christine Caprilozzi.

Dressing Up Halloween available to stream now on all major VOD platforms. (Watch it on Prime Video here.)
