I was asked this year by the folks at the wonderful horror website The Terror Trap to contribute to a collection of horror memories and anecdotes titled “Reflections on Fear“. It was quite an honour considering my fellow contributors were some well known professionals including such notable 70s icons as actress/author Jessica Harper (who played […]
Sean from creepsylvania.com sent me an awesome surprise this month, a colouring book I’ve actually been looking forward to seeing for years. The Monster Gallery Colouring Book is an early seventies masterpiece illustrated by Mark Savee (with text by Leah Waskey) and each page is a stunning tribute to a famous monster of either screen […]
No, not the 1987 movie but the original 1976 Saturday Morning Series that really helped my love for Monsters in general. The show has precious little web presence and I’m honestly surprised how much merchandise I discovered, so I’ve created a little gallery to showcase it all. It’s all here and there may be a […]
The Gigantics kits by Fundimensions are one of the coolest model kit concepts EVER! In 1975, fundimensions went to back to 1950s cinema with a series of giant insects attacking urban areas. I somehow missed these when they were first released, only discovering them in the mid 1980s when I grabbed the wasp kit at […]
Chris sent in the cool pic of his KIng Kong merchandise from the 1977 remake, all of this stuff was made by Mego and is really hard to find. I have to admit I love that Japanese Vinyl. Here’s a page about 1977 Mego King Kong Merchandise in case this whetted your appetite.
By 1983, Remco had put down their utility belts and picked up some swords but never actually straying from their comic book licensing ties. Their long relationship with Marvel comics made them a natural to market the action figures based on their Crystar comic series , also announced were a series of figures based on […]
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 […]
I can’t believe it’s October already, that means the countdown to my favourite holiday has begun. Like every year, I’m going to be running a Horror themed bonus feature for the beginning of the month and flip the switch to total “Orange and Black” by the end. Lots of fun stuff this season, four new […]
A long standing tradition on my birthday as a kid was my Grandmother taking me to the toystore to pick out amy own gift. I honestly don’t remember what I chose every year but I do remember those times when I was able to pour over the aisles of Eaton’s or Pinnochio’s with no pressure […]
Zachary sent in this cool shot that has to be from 1977, seeing as it was the height of “Kong Mania”. He tells me he’s not sure why he’s giving Kong directions in downtown Manhattan but it sure makes for a terrific photo. Hey, “The Song Remains The Same” is playing! Send us your Mall […]
