Colorforms Castle Dracula Fun House
A marriage of Monsters and colorforms comes close on the importance scale to chocolate and peanut butter in my house.
Remco Monsters Glow in the Dark Haunted House
One of the reasons I love October is I get to talk about Monster toys, in my top five are the Remco monsters and their awesome, wonderful haunted house playset. More on these guys next week. More Remco Monsters on PlaidStallions: .
Mold-A-Rama Blow Mould Frankensteins
Turning the reins over to my buddy Matt today, who provided not only the photos but the prose as well. Take it away Matt! These are the wonderful, magnificent, Mold-A-Rama Blow Mould Frankensteins. Mold-A-Rama first appeared in the mid-60s, and was a staple of the Museum and Zoo experience for lucky kids in the 60s, […]
El Hombre Lobo paperback
As a life long fan of the films of Paul Naschy and especially his character Waldemar Daninsky AKA El Hombre Lobo. Other than movie posters, I never thought there was any merchandise of any sortm until I spied this in a shop. Somebody actually novelised “The Werewolf Vs The Vampire Woman” and I owe them many, […]

Funstuf Monsters!
I am not sure why I don’t own a Funstuf Frankenstein. This catalog is from the UK, where they decided to pass on Dracula for some odd reason… 1980 Funstuf Catalog
Ben Cooper Star Wars
While Kenner was scrambling to make Star Wars action figures, Ben Cooper got Star Wars costumes out for 1977. Two weeks after Halloween, I doubt it mattered…..
Imperial Toys Godzilla Merchandise Blitz Part 1
Imperial made the 1980s more fun by laying out some truly inspired Godzilla merchandise from the insane bubble blowing bong to the more logical PVC Godzilla. I still have mine that I purchased 30 (sigh!) years back, it followed through every dorm room/crappy apartment and is still kicking!
Colouring Book Theatre: Horror
Horror (1982), World Publishers It’s weird to be doing a Colouring Book Theatre on a Friday but this October and this is one of the coolest colouring books I’ve ever found. I discovered this in a shop called Planet of Stuff and bought it unopened mainly because it had Peter Cushing as […]
