Title: Monster Door Mat?
Post by: Gillfan on September 05, 2010, 07:53:22 PM
About 8 years ago I picked up 2 great door mats, the Creature and Frankenstein. Both were "illustrated" with forced perspective to look like the character was climbing up towards you. Since I actually used them as floor mats they are now long gone. Does anyone remember these? Has anyone ever seen them for sale anywhere?

I saw them at a grocery store at Halloween about 1998 or so, and bought all they had.  There were 4 monsters, Frankenstein, Wolf Man, Creature, and Dracula.  They are very cool!  Sold all of them though...  and don't have any more.  The art is great, I've thought at times about framing them.

I just saw the Creature on E-bay. Reasonably priced, from what I remember.

Loved these.  I remember seeing them in the Halloween stores for a couple seasons.  I always wanted them, but never got 'em.  One day...

I had the Creature one, Unfortunately I actually used it, in our kitchen, and the quality of the mat was not very good. Very thin about a 1/4" , I think after a day or two it was actually curling up in all 4 corners.  If you have these or plan on buying these I would not recommend actually using it.
