Holy Chiller Theatre Batman!

I love this Wards catalog spread, what could be cooler than the Mego Worlds Greatest Superheroes kicking the crap out of the Lincoln Monsters? Look how Shazam just pushes the Mummy aside. Despite being kind of Dime store, the Lincoln Monsters were distributed by Galoob for a while so they got some cool catalog representation.

Speaking of Monsters, the Hilarious House of Frightenstein is now on DVD, in the US you get the syndicated Half hour shows. Canadians get an exclusive boxed set (when do Canadians get anything exclusive?) that includes 13 of the original hour long episodes! How cool is that?
Frightenstein is also on Drive In Classics and the Space Channel currently as well, now here’s my favourite sequence from the show, The Wolfman!
