Occasionally, there were years that Be Something Studios would not release a new catalog. It was during these years that new BSS releases could be found in the pages of Franco Halloween Catalogs. 1978 was the first time that this occurred. While many of these masks can be found in the 1977 and 1979 catalogs, there are a few that only made a brief appearance here including the Caveman and Cavewoman, and the cyborg-ish Electric Bill masks...
Having just released a new four-page color catalog one year prior in 1988, the new 1989 Be Something Studios line-up fit neatly onto a single-page insert in the 1989 Franco Catalog. The line-up features the catalog debuts of a few classic characters that are still produced by Zagone Studios today including Victim Moan and Fatal Fantasy...

There is something awesome about a good old fashioned black and white Halloween mask catalog. It's certainly not the quality of image, but if you are old enough to remember holding something like this in your hands, you know what I'm talking about. The 1978 Franco catalog featured three pages of early Be Something Studios masks, all of which are quite rare these days, and a few that I have never seen in person. I've posted a few color catalog shots below as well...
