if you want a real treat, go to halloweencostumes.com and look at the description of any of their items. Most the the stuff doesn't look that bad quality-wise, but whoever writes the copy comes up with the most delightful and weird blurbs. For example, the description of the "Adult Bowser Headpiece" says the following: "Alright, so you’re into princess kidnapping. It’s not really our thing, but hey - we don’t exactly love it when people judge our Real Housewives addiction or our crippling decoupage hobby, either, so. Live and let live, brother!"

I worked at an off-brand Halloween costume store in 2015, and we sold a Kim Possible bagged costume, even though Kim Possible stopped airing in 2007. So you are correct that everything stopped being manufactured 20 years ago lol.
