Imagineering Make Up Ad
Oh this Imagineering stuff makes me crazy, it’s really hard not to go spend hundreds on Ebay when you see ads like this. The pretend blood was schoolyard magic…
1978 Collegeville Halloween Costume Catalog
With it being October, I tend to get a little nuts with the Halloween costumes especially my favourite company Collegeville.1978 was a fun year for Collegeville, sure they didn’t have Star Wars but did Ben Cooper have the Hardy Boys? Not a chance. The 1978 Collegeville catalog is exploding with characters and creations that made […]
Halloween Pot Pourri
No real direction today, just a bunch of different things that didn’t seem to fit anywhere else, above is an early 80s ad for a costume company called Topstone. I’m not really all that familiar with them but I know there are collectors out there. For Maxx Fx Fans, here is a 1989 article (click […]

DVD Review: Hilarious House Of Frightenstein
I’ve already talked about how Monster Squad was one of the big reasons I love Monsters so much as an adult, it seemed fitting in October to talk about another big influence, the Hillarious House of Frightenstein. For those not in the know, Frightenstein is a Canadian series that mixes one part Universal Monsters, One […]
Dracula Gets Down
I can’t believe it took me two years to notice this wonderful picture from the 1982 Don Post Catalog, I’m guessing it had been taken a couple of years earlier. If you google “Halloween in the 70s” this should be the first thing that pops up. Dracula is seen here clearly living the high life, […]
