Chaney Shall Not Die!

This is a great piece on The great Lon Chaney from a 1929 Motion picture annual, illustrating him in some of his best roles at MGM Studios.

Head Shrinkers Kit

A cool toy in a cool box! There we go! I recently saw the TV commercial for this on YouTube and it looked neat. By Pressman Toys, c. 1966.

Goolie Goodies

The Chemtoy figures. I don't know what happened to my my Goolies. I have Drac, but need the rest of the set!  I recall some of the figures had balance issues..

Newsstands(2).

I'd like to visit these newsstands. Who am I kidding? Any newsstand! I see some sweet comics in the non-cartooned one!

Visit Transylvania.

Visit Transylvania was from Topps Funny Travel Posters from 1967. There were 24 posters in a set, but this one had to be the best. Outstanding art by Wally Wood to boot!

Haunted Mansion Art

Here is a neat piece of production art for Disney's Haunted Mansion by Claude Coats...

Funny Monsters Cards

From the 1959 Topps series, Funny Monsters AKA You'll Die Laughing, this card is a goody because of Jack Davis' use of color, and atmosphere. Monsteriffic!

Odd Rods

Here are a couple of Donruss' Odd Rods sticker series that lasted from 1969 - 1973. Many later cards were reprints of the first two series - I'm really not sure. We just bought 'em and put them on our notebooks. Art by the great B.K. Taylor.

Milton Meets Milton (Bradley)

Here's a cool item - A Milton The Monster Game, by Milton Bradley from 1965. Milton aired on ABC from 1965 - 1968. It was the best of Hal Seeger's efforts. The show also featured Fearless Fly, Muggy Doo, and Stuffy Durma (which sounds nasty), and others. Bob McFadden did all the voices, and was great at his job.

The Monster Of Piedras Blancas

The Monster Of Piedras Blancas (colorized) poster from The Monster Times.  The 1959 movie that claimed it won the "Shock Award" from Famous Monsters Of Filmland magazine. It did not, as there was no such award. Nice try though.

Gruesome Mansion

A seriously cool rack toy. The Gruesome Mansion Pinball game. From 1973, really, after the end of the monster craze. Wish I had one!

FM Con - 1975!

Great poster for the 2nd Famous Monsters Convention

Mad, Mad, Mad Monsters

This is a title card from Rankin-Bass' Mad, Mad Mad Monsters (1972), one of the ABC Saturday Superstar Movies.. It can be thought of as a prequel to Mad Monster Party (1967), without the stop motion, and Boris Karloff, of course. Frankenstein creates a bride for the monster, and holds a big wedding for the happy couple.

Boris The Heel.

A classic still from Mask Of Fu Manchu (1932) Yes, Boris Karloff is under that make-up!

Barbara Steele

The great Barbara Steele in this iconic image from Black Sunday (1962) "Stare into these eyes.."

Boy & Ghoul Pajamas

An ad parody from ? It's still neat, whoever published it.

Plan 9 Lobby Card

The fellow in the cape trying to look like Bela Lugosi is chiropractor Tom Mason, who was brought in to finish the film  after Bela passed on in 1956.

Black Stamps

Ad for a theatre give-away from a Hammer movies twin-bill of The Gorgon, and Curse Of The Mummy's Tomb. (1964)

Larry Brent

Larry Brent # 107 is I am assuming, a German Comic book. Even if not, this cover is so cool that it's hard to care!

Aurora Promo Posters

Here are two examples of The Holy Grail of Aurora collectors. Promotional  in-store posters for retailers. Beautiful stuff, colorful and cool. Probably 1964 - 65.
