I don't think they did the shrunken head as a Wear a Weirdo.  I've got Franky, Wolf Man, King Kong and a Skull.

[The Phantom Creep]

Ah geez I just wasn't thinking, you're right that is a Wear a Weirdo Frank. I even have one of 'em still sealed and didn't think about it! They didn't do a Shrunken Head though, only Frank, Kong, Wolf Man and a Skeleton. I still need a sealed Kong.

Sorry, I was thinking of the similar shrunken head necklaces that pop up occasionally.

[Toy Ranch]

I think that Frankie is a 'Wear a Weirdo' - there was a kong and I think a shrunken head. They're great, I've always wanted a set of them!

Kong, Frankenstein, Wolf Man, and Skull

Besides the Tuscany Dracula, I found this cute/cool display for me, er...my daughter, er...ME!


And my brother made this haunted house of painted cardboard which is an EXACT replica of my actual house:


I absolutely love this.  The Remco 4" figures are just about the right size monsters to haunt this with.

Thank you.  I set up at the Kane County (IL) toy show as a dealer twice a year and another vendor had this.  I had never seen this before and she tried to sell it for $70 a couple years ago.  Offered it at $35 and sold it to me for $30.  Haven't shown it to my three year old yet (who LOVES chicken McNuggets) and not sure I'm going to for a while.  I can see it getting trashed!  Thanks for the sentiments.

Great finds, Jeff!  Congrats!

[poseablemonster]

Good stuff, Jeff, congrats!
I got some very old Topstone Halloween masks this week.  Most of these are pictured in the 1960 Topstone catalog:
The "Fortyniner"

The "Goof"

"Pig-Tails"

and my favorite..."The Witch".  I believe this is the same one that you could order from the early issues of Famous Monsters

That cardboard haunted house is really cool, as are the Topstone masks.  I especially like the Goof.

My mother-in-law dropped by last night, and remarked that "The Goof" looks a lot like a character called "Mortimer Snerd" from her younger days.

Aaah Edgar Bergen..from all of our younger days...

That's a great deal on that!  Yeah, you might want to keep it hidden away for a little bit.  You don't want it to meet a Bride of Frankenstein end.
