Introduction to Horror

Really happy to be unveiling this today as it’s something I’ve been sitting on  for a few weeks. What you’re looking at is the intro to the Monster chapter of my  Rack Toys book. This was painted by the mad genius Matt “MonsterMatt” Patterson. I met Matt at one of my favourite summer time haunts, […]

Remco Famous Monsters

  Stumbled upon this great Captain Company ad for the Remco Monsters figures and well there’s no better time to showcase it than now. Also, I can also tease the fact that I’ll be showcasing some never before seen Remco Monster goodies this month, stay tuned….      

Frankenstein Flipit

Ever since I saw these Flipit ads in the back of Gold Key comics in the late seventies, I’ve been intrigued by what they looked like. I’ve never seen them at shows in my travels so I finally sought one out through ebay for the mere purpose of satiating my curiousity. Being it’s Halloween, the […]

The Last Photo

The name is Bond, Elton Bond. I’m interupting the Halloween hijinx for a moment just to make a special announcement, this is the last photo I’ll take for my upcoming book, Rack Toys : Cheap, Crazed Playthings. While they don’t look like much, these Secret Service Sunglasses hold some special meaning to the whole thing. […]

Target : Monsters

I found this toy in the 1976 Larami catalog, I have no clue as to whether or not it was produced but it is something I will keep my eyes out for. It’s a pretty galling use of the Universal characters and I doubt it’s officially licensed in any way. That’s the joy that is […]

Cardboard Kong

My friend Corey gave me this shot (you can check out his awesome auctions here) and I honestly can’t ever remember seeing this cool toy before. What amuses me about it is while it appears to be from the 1970s, it seems to be based on the original film and not the Delaurentis remake. Which […]

Review : Too much horror business

  I can`t think of a better way to kick off a month of celebrating Halloween than a review of the new book `Too Much Horror Business`by Metallica s Kirk Hammet. For those not in the know, Hammet is known to be a voracious collector of all things horror and comic books. More after the jump… I […]

The Coastal Highway

Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about [...]
