NEW FOR HALLOWEEN - 2018

[Mord]

I like the Monsterville items very much. 2017 marked a high point in Halloween offerings because of the Monsterville stuff IMO. Look for those products to increase on the secondary market in the coming years, especially if we get no more Monsterville. Anyone interested who still needs any of those items for their collection should try to get them before too long because there are still low prices for them on eBay if one is patient and shops around. Monsterville bargains will probably be few and far between in a few years.

The Monsterville items were really exceptional. The little 5 dollar Screamers were beautifully sculpted and fun to play with. The domes were fantastic, as well. The Karloff Mummy head still blows me away. What a great item for only $25. Speaking of $25, that Creature costume was also top- notch. Like HH  said, get em while you can. You won't regret it.

I was lucky enough to find the Creech screamer....before supplies ran out.

Yeah, buddy. I ended up getting the 3 domes and Mummy head, 3 screamers, Creature costume and extra Creature mask as well as the Frankenstein mask, make-up kit, Drac teeth, Frankie make-up, and I even bought the overpriced Mummy gauze just to have the set. I usually don't buy kid's costumes and make-up items but these were cool enough to spring for. I tacked the masks to the wall and they look great displayed like that. I was really hoping we'd get more Monsterville items this Halloween. Maybe something else really nice will pop up. That Monsterville stuff was a pleasant Halloween surprise.

What about the Super 7 stuff? That's pretty cool!

Yeah...I'm trying to get behind more of that stuff... I revisited the Super 7 thread to refresh me on it. The "Soapies" I'm definitely interested in, and maybe the candy buckets (Creature certainly). I'm just not much into 3.75" figures. If they had some cool playsets for them like a Rita with Creech, Kay, and the gang, then I could get into the figures. I mean, that's the best reason for 3.75" figures to exist is for cool playsets and vehicles. That was the main reason for the 3.75" Star Wars and G.I. Joe figures from back in the day- playsets and vehicles! The other S7 stuff leaves me either lukewarm or plain uninterested- shoes, pennants, hair paste. 

It would also be great if you could easily get the stuff relatively inexpensively like the Monsterville stuff was at Target. I'm not paying out the wazoo for any of that stuff, even the Soapies. Hopefully the stuff I do want will be reasonably priced.

That said, I'm glad other folks are excited about the S7 offerings. Hope they get what they want.

Our dreams are probably the closest we'll get to one of those!

Monsterville had a couple of stinkers, too.    As long as they do the cool stuff!

Since I haven't seen these sunglasses , before, I'll dump it in this  thread.

I went through all of them and found The Creature, Frankenstein, The Bride and Dracula.

Since they are licensed, I'll probably throw a Creature into my next amazon order.

I see Sun-Staches also have Dracula and some Marvel characters - plus Muppets, etc.

I think I will get a pair of these to put on a pumpkin.

Sun-Staches makes a ton of these things - Marvel characters, too.  They make a big variety of Batman glasses.

Anyone going to Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood this year?  They just added a Universal Monsters maze.

I ran through Target today for some household stuff and in the greeting card section there was a selection of new UM Greeting cards. I forgot the phone in the car but they looked really good. From what I remember, there was Creature, Ardeth/Mummy, Invisible Man, Frank, Bride and one with Frank/Bride together.

Are they photos, or art? Die-cut?

Interesting

Separate image on the cover and inside.  There are two separate Bride cards. All art inside the card appears to be from a movie scene. $3.99 each. There appeared to be 2 of each card in my store.

Thanks for posting these.

Not blown away by the too familiar images.  Target seems to think anything Universal Monster related deserves no more than two pieces each.
