I ordered something similar out of Boy's Life in the 70's.The poster came in 2 pieces and was made of trash bag type plastic.As a bonus it came with a "Haunt your house" kit containing a skull, a shrunken head,2 jumping squeeze bulb creatures(octopus and cockroach) a bat and the glow in the dark skeleton hands that you stick in your shirt pocket.Also,little glow in the dark stickers to put over the monsters eyes.I can't remember the price,but I do remember putting coins in an envelope,so it was probably less than a dollar.I remember being thrilled with the whole thing, though the rest of my family made fun of the "U-control monster".even they had to admit the bonus items kind of compensated for the monsters shortcomings
