Remember Witchiepoo\u00a0<\/strong>from Sid and Marty Krofft<\/a>‘s\u00a0H.R. Pufnstuf<\/a><\/em><\/strong>?\u00a0<\/p>\n\"witchiepoo-life\"<\/a>\n

Did you know her full name is\u00a0Wilhelmina W. Witchiepoo? It is!<\/em><\/p>\n

In the 1970s, H.R. Pufnstuf<\/em>\u00a0was so popular with kids that there were Halloween costumes of some of the show’s characters!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s an\u00a0ad\u00a0from Collegeville Costumes from\u00a01975 which features Witchiepoo!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\"collegeville-costumes-1975\"<\/a>\n
