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.

You can find them in the Yahoo "Reserve" group.
I have all four of them (Creature, Wolfman, Frankenstein and Dracula) and looking to sell if anyone is interested.
I remember those a Target. :D
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.
Can someone post the Frankenstein and Wolfman ones?
I want them all! Contact me if any are for sale. Thanks.
