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 […]
Followers of this site and blog will know that Collegeville is a favourite subject around here, that’s likely because I got a ton of these as a kid combined with the fact that they got some really cool licenses. This is a Canadian version of the Catalog (by a company called Norbin) and I highly […]
It wouldn’t be Halloween without me extolling the sweet virtue of Remco Mini Monsters, a line I love collecting. Above is a snippet from a 1980 Toys R Us flyer that will appear on the site before Christmas some time. I’ve been trying to find these guys on Canadian issue cards because that’s how I […]
It’s not October if we don’t discuss the AHI Monster dolls and we’ve got a couple of additions to the galleries starting with this killer variant of Frankenstein (courtesy of my pal the Kidd). I’ve never seen eyes like this one. Count Dracula alone was marketed in the UK in a window box, the rest […]
It wouldn’t be October without me droning on about how cool these are and followed by my whining as to why I don’t own them. Why break tradition?
I LOVE it when folks share their collections with me, especially when it’s stuff near and dear to my heart like Monster toys. John was kind enough to give us a peak into his lair today and it’s a drool worthy assortment of old and new, more after the jump. If you dare! A lot […]
My love for the Aurora Monster model kits knows no bounds, I’ve bought and re bought them several times over during my life and I’m currently repairing the ones my kids and I did over the years. I thought it would be fun to go through some old timey ads where they could be purchased […]
Bill sent in this awesome shot of him getting choked by the Phantom of the Opera at Universal Studios, I’m assuming by the Fonzie shirts this is 1976ish. I rarely get Uni Monster appearance shots submitted, so I absolutely love this. Send me your mall appearance photos!
From the “I wish they made these now dept” come these cool mock horror shirts, adding funny captions to vintage horror pictures dates back to Famous Monsters magazine so it’s nice to see them getting a nod here but it’s pretty obvious whoever wrote the catalog copy wasn’t a reader: Which one is Dracula? Mom, […]
Lovin’ this selection of Party masks I found in a UK toy catalog, I’m assuming those are the Ben Cooper Universal Monsters masks being sold as a set without smocks, the things you learn!
