Marx Monster Mania
I don’t know much about this game but I have to say that’s the most handsome frankenstein I’ve ever seen.
Dracula VS Cookie Monster
Castle Dracula will be a mess of cookie crumbs and blood tonight. Tough choice for 70’s parents, huggable old cookie monster or a plush lord of the undead? Nowadays Drac would be a big seller at Hot Topic.
Don Post Mask Catalog
Every kid from the seventies or eighties will probably remember the cool rubber masks from the Don Post Company ads in Famous Monsters, Fantastic Films and Starlog. Today we present the various monsters, aliens and Imperial Sith of the 1982 Don Post Studios Catalog.
Delicious monsters that stay crunchy in milk
These cool BooBerry and Frankenberry puppets were in the 1977 Kenner catalog, which makes sense considering that Kenner was owned by General Mills. Booberry was my favourite cereal as a kid, they stopped making anything but Count Chocula here in the late seventies.
Where my monster love comes from
Growing up in my neck of the woods, we didn’t have a horror host and getting a copy of Famous Monsters wasn’t easy but we did have the Monsters Series of Books from Crestwood House. My local library had all of the ones pictured (and I swear a Creature one) and they fed my mad […]
Monster Toy Recap
I did a page highlighting some of the cooler monster toys of last year’s Halloween features and thought today was as good day to point it out. There’s nothing quite like phoning it in is there?
Monsters on Wheels
What do you get when you mix Evel Knievel with the Universal Monsters? You get Ideal’s Scare Cycles, daredevil biker monsters is the perfect way to kick off our Halloween festivities this year.
More from Charlies Basement

Above is a boxed Mattel Rodan, that one made me a little jealous as did the perfect mailer boxed Shogun Warriors. Carded Super Joe figures are extremely hard to find, I’ve never seen […]
Toys that should have been made: Maxx Fx
Friday the 13th seems to be the perfect day to showcase the Maxx Fx items from the 1989 Matchbox Catalog, sort of a monster version of Captain Action, had Matchbox not made a grave marketing error we would have had 10″ Mego bodied versions of Jason, Alien, Frankenstein and the Creature from the Black Lagoon […]
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. […]
