This Halloween, we’re getting down in Fraggle Rock™! We’re excited to commemorate Fraggle Rocktober, a month-long celebration of all things Fraggle Rock! Produced by The Jim Henson Company, the multi-generational children’s TV show first premiered in 1983, featuring iconic characters such as the Fraggles, the Gorgs and the Doozers, and promoting messages of sustainability, inclusivity, and community. GII teamed up with Robert Bennett of Jim Henson’s Creature Shop™ to create a DIY Halloween costume video, teaching families how to create their own Fraggle Rock-inspired Halloween costumes with items they find at a Goodwill store, and the video’s message encourages viewers to embrace the spirit of second-hand shopping and being creative. Costumes in the videos were sourced at Goodwill So Cal’s, Atwater Village Store. Watch the video here!
