I love looking at everyones monster rooms. I did not see a Thread for this. So If its ok with the Mods I will start here. I think this would be cool to have one place to check em all out. This is my first try at posting a picture here. So don't get the silver bullets out just yet. HHW

Me too!

That's the whole idea of this place! Start whatever threads you want!

You done good, but if you ever mess it up, just click "modify" above one of your posts and you can go back over and over until you have it fixed.
Cool monster room! I'm going to take some pics of mine at some point, but right now I'm working on changing a big part of it so they'll have to wait until all that gets done.
-
Nice display. I like the way you have everything presented front and center. I like them this way rather than all cluttered. Nice job!
-

-
Fantastic photos, everyone. I love to stare at other people's toys.
-
Uh, yeah. About that, Raymond-- there have been complaints! Seems you're burning holes in people's stuff. More indirect glances, please.

Thanks Danny As is yours, A place of wonder. HHW

Awesome stuff HH!!!
About a month ago I started to redo my room, it's a much slower process than I had hoped. It's like putting a puzzle together, gotta move an entire shelf for one piece etc... It's slowly but surely getting coming together.
Thanks and Very Nice. I love it. HHW

Dr. Terror...that is coming together.
I have been to the HHWOLFMAN mansion a few times and LOVE it. Some really wonderful, eclectic and vintage stuff in there.

Here's a few pics of my gallery room:

That's some great collections, so much good stuff all together.

POSEABLE, I have one thing to say.... :o
Dear God, that is a wonderfil and well thought out display. It looks AMAZING. can we have a few close ups?
I'd like to see the AHI stuff better.
-
.
-
Thanks, guys. Anytime you are ever in the good 'ole midwest/St. Louis area, drop me a line and pay a visit.
Here's a few close-ups of the AHI and Lincoln monsters cases for you, gracebuster. I've tried to collect an example of each variation/style of monster. Still have a few to go:

What did you say your address was again Andy? And what days did you say that you were not home? ;)
Wonderful collection! Must be something in the water down there in St. Louis? :)
-
Posable, that collection is awesome. Loved seeing the AHI's and Lincolns....
Brian
-
All I can do is sit here and drool (oops, there I go again) while looking at everyones collections.
They are all awesome!
Dale
-
That's quite a gang of AHIs and Lincolns!
Really sweeeet....
-
Andy has some really great rarities in there, stuff that even in the closeup pics are hard to make out. There is a Tomland mini-Wolf Man figure in front of the Lincoln Wolf Man figures. He has a variation on the AHI Frankenstein I've never seen anywhere else. Really spectuacular to see all together. Plus, it's all neat and orderly and you can walk around and see everything without tripping over something, unlike most (self included).
-
Doc, you have a heck of a collection going, your room is really looking great! Thanks for sharing the pics!
-
Thanks for the nice comments on my gallery room. It has been a goal of mine for many years, and it's coming together.
I think texture and color are more important than we may realize in our attraction to certain things; even monster toys. I try my best to accentuate these elements in displaying them. I think that's part of why I really enjoy looking at other collector's displays. You can sometimes see the same things, but in a totally different context that makes you appreciate them even more.
Bobby's display takes this natural, deep wood tone approach that really brings out the textural and color elements of his stuff.
HHW's room is similar, and the incorporation of the comfy couch and TV make it a really inviting place. Like a "den" quality, it just looks like a place that you could tune out the world and get lost in all that monstery goodness.
Then, Dan's Dr. Shocker museum...it's really looks amazing because it has that "larger-than-life, I gotta get a ticket to this place" feel. I'm compelled to make a pilgrimage - much like the Ackermansion.
Keep them pictures comin'! I wanna see some Bob Morris display... ;D
-
Oh, and Doc...I really like how your room is coming along! You have some amazing masks and goodies in there.
-
Hey Andy, what's that Frankenstein puppet hiding behind the big rubber Frankenstein?
George

I think that is a FUNWORLD hand puppet, 70's. It went on the UMA Monster Toy Tour this past year. Ray might know more about this toy than I do.

It is indeed just that. I happen to own a loose head from this same puppet. It wasn't until Raymond brought an intact puppet to the Toy Tour that I finally got to see how this toy (or puppet) actually looks. And to be honest, it's a toy that is NOT on the top of my list of favorite collectibles. A bit too clownish for my own liking, but then I haven't looked in the mirror in a while either. :)

How bout some early monster room photos.
This one features the first girlfriend, Lynda. One wonders how there ever was a girl friend looking around the room!

Is that Linda Blair?
Brian
-

Indeed! Girlfriends in monster rooms are as rare as Head Speakers. Make that girlfriends who are sincerely interested in monster rooms. I ended up marrying one who'd just as soon turn my monster room into a sewing room. >:(
-
.
-
Is that Linda Blair?
No, but if I remember right her head did seem to spin around on a few occasions! LOL
-
I love the composition in that photo...awesome monster posters and girlfriend peeking out on the bottom! I bet she thought she was getting top billing in that pic, too. Shows where your priorities were, Dan...right where they should have been!!! That is a classic.
-
Wow, so many impressive displays!
After being a member of UMA for so long, it's weird finally seeing some of these!
Did this new format unleash something in you all?
Charlie
-

Charlie
I think it has indeed Charlie...and I'm all the happier for it. I'm in the middle of rearranging my room, so it will be a while before it's photo-worthy. Still, I guess that saves something for later days.
I believe that this has been my first official post here since we opened the doors. Been particulary busy this past weekend, and it was all I could do to keep up with the flurry of posts. I'd say things are progressing nicely so far.
Rob
-
In my case, this is just easier to use and post pics, so I can actually post pics now.
-
Hey Dan, on your avatar pic, is that a actual button? If so, where can I get one?
Thanks!
Brian
-

Do you have a pic of just the puppet? I'm curious to see what he looks like :)
George
-
It's not, but I was thinking of getting some made. I'll find you if I do. Arron Lewis made that up. He just joined tis board, as well.
-
That is a Funworld puppet, yes indeedy. The eyes were originally filled with water. They were sold in bags with header cards. If anyone has the devil from this set, I'm your man. I think I still have my childhood Funworld devil somewhere in the basement, but his eyes are long gone. The Frankenstein is ok, but I really like the devil. I've got "funworld devil" as a saved search on ebay. Lots of Funworld stuff on ebay every Halloween, but so far no devil.

After this impressive parade of monster rooms, it is time for me to present the most exciting one of all - MINE!
Feast your eyes and glut your soul on this glorious display of monster goodness:
(http://thegalleryofmonstertoys.com/msc/boxes1.jpg)
Yes, I know, you can't believe your eyes. But it's true. You are actually looking at nearly every AHI variation mint on card, carded Lincoln monsters, carded Tomland, boxed Remco and Mego monsters. Wow! Isn't it amazing to see them all in one place?
Do you want more? Well get a load of this:
(http://thegalleryofmonstertoys.com/msc/boxes2.jpg)
Don't faint. Yes, you are looking at the rarest 60s monster treasures, all mint in boxes. Who would have thought you would ever see all these items together at one place, at one time, in one photo!
But there is so much more!
(http://thegalleryofmonstertoys.com/msc/boxes7.jpg)
Above, you will recognize what is truly an extraordinary collection of Don Post and Topstone masks. There are some super-rare items in that picture, as anyone who knows their masks can plainly see.
You will notice that I have a unique display aesthetic. I like to think of it as the "mint-in-box-in-box-in-box" approach. It makes the collectibles seem that much more unattainable, even to their owner.
Now in this picture, I diverge slightly from my usual style.
(http://thegalleryofmonstertoys.com/msc/boxes4.jpg)
This corner of the World's Greatest Monster Room breaks the rules by actually showing some of the toys themselves. Rest assured, most of the toys in that photo are safely tucked away inside the pristine white chastity box. But a few unclean relics have been strategically placed atop the box, exposed to human contact. You will notice the dry cleaning bag to the right. It symbolizes the dichotomy between the mint and the wretched.
(http://thegalleryofmonstertoys.com/msc/boxes3.jpg)
A similar theme continues in this vignette. It is carried even farther by the (gasp) OPENED toy package lying on top the boxes. This merely underscores the dangers the toys inside the Xerox boxes face should they venture out into the world. Their minty virtue will surely be spoiled. The spoiler himself is represented by the sinister dinosaur to the left (left being the devil's side), waiting with hungry grin to ruin the toys should anyone foolishly open the boxes.
To contrast with this Kubric-ian sterility, I devised this astounding display in the style of early Darren Aronofsky with a little Quay Brothers mixed in for spice:
(http://thegalleryofmonstertoys.com/msc/boxes5.jpg)
Let's take a closer look at the grunge side of my Incredible Monster Madness Room:
(http://thegalleryofmonstertoys.com/msc/boxes6.jpg)
There are some subtle details worth pointing out in the above picture. Notice how a Marx Mummy lies on top a Tomland Fly with its shoes off? Could this be sexual metaphor? Questions... And what of the Eye-Lite Skull with a broken jaw? What should we make of the boxed Flying Monkey atop the Boglin Slobster? This oasis of garage sale decadence infects the surrounding boxes, which are starting to open, exposing the contents to the ravages of the world.
I spent many years building this intricate Monster Room, arranging the boxes just so. Sometimes I will nudge a box a little to the left or right. Other times I will stand on a box. On rare occasions, I will even go inside a box and close the lid. Sometimes I forget which box I put myself in. Oh, I tell you, that can truly be a pickle!

Raymond .. I love you. I've never laughed so hard! What a hilarious post! And knowing you personally makes it even all the more funny! It's so very refreshing when one can have a sense of humor over their obsessions! I LOVE it! Bravo!

Are you kidding me Minion? Pales in comparison? That's a most impressive display you have there which defies comparisons! I like the way you have it displayed too. You've created a perfect atmosphere for a monster room! Nicely done my friend! Thanks for sharing!
-
Now, Minion don't be all like that!
It's a Monsteriffic place as I've ever seen.
To see it all together is Spooktacular.
Thanks for sharing.

Hello!
My monster room pales in comparison to the ones already posted, but here ya go!
You gotta be kiddin! There are some masks in your collection I only DREAM of having! That cool creature mask, the VXX Mummy, your green Glenn Strange Frank...and that Don Post mask ad kit...you have a mind-blowingly amazing collection! Now sell me some masks!!! LOL!
-
Ok, ok, I'll admit it... my monster room is cool. ;D
There's another section of it too, but it's completely messed up at the moment.
Posablemonster - where did you get that little stand that The Book of the Dead is sitting on? I have that book/DVD signed by the entire cast, even the FX guy and Ted Rami who played someones feet in one scene :D . Took me a couple years to get 'em all. I just need to figure out a way to get Sam Rami to sign it now. LOL

Andy, what a beautiful assortment of monster toys. I absolutely love the way that you have everything displayed, especially that carded Lincoln Mummy. ;) One question though. Is that boxed Lincoln Wolfman original?
-
One question though. Is that boxed Lincoln Wolfman original?
There's also a boxed Hunchback in that display. I'm thinking the boxed Lincolns were a European release, although I could easily be wrong.
-

No, no, I think you're right. Ray has got them down as European releases too on his Gallery of Monster Toys website. Such sweet artwork. At this point, I'd even settle for a reproduction boxed set as something tells me that an original set isn't in the cards. :'(
-

That is an antique hardwood bookstand that came from an old Catholic Cathedral Church in my home town. I purchased it at an estate sale. It's perfect for the book. PM me if you are interested in trading me a mask for it! ;)
-
The best info found on the boxed Lincolns are that they originated in Europe. My Wolfman box is an amazing fake! It's really hard to tell unless you inspect it carefully. The Hunchback is original.
-
It was either Shadowlands or Let's Talk Toys that offered a complete set of boxed Lincolns in the early 90s. (For the astronomical price of $1,500! Or was it $900? Oh well, back then $900 might as well have been $90,000 to me.) I talked to the seller on the phone and he said they came from a case in Europe.
-
Minion, that is a great room. I especially love your Alien corner. You could have stopped there and it would be impressive enough. Looking at your Don Post masks, are those Halloween III masks original? I like the row of DP skulls.
-
There is an amazing amount of covet-able THINGS on display...
MY Monster room is too small to swing a Pendulum, but hopefully bigger digs means a bigger Monster Room...at least that's what my wife tells me!
These pictures are OLD, and I am currently in the midst of a massive re-organization. Inspired by some of the collections I've seen in the group, I am MIXING my monsters. Yes, the shelves will contain groups of Monsters in sets...all the Mego monsters together, all my Auroras together, etc...
Formally they were all segregated as you'll see.
I have a LOT more items and even added a couple of more shelves but the wall paint job is the same, and the Moon and the stars STILL glow in the dark...
I'll take all new pics soon...but for now, here is what was...

Awesome set-up!
Looking at your Don Post masks, are those Halloween III masks original?
The Halloween III masks are screen used props from the film. Of course, there's tons of masks in that film so to actually identify them on-screen is impossible. LOL
-
Minion Don't sell your self short. That is very nice and displayed perfectly. HHW

You gotta be kidding me Ray! A complete set? No doubt the stuff dreams are made of. That is one cool story. I actually did business with Lets Talk Toys on a number of occasions so I know who you speak of. He definitely has the goods.

LMFAO All those Cool Masks Don Post and such. Only Ray and I would freak out and zoom in on the Halloween 3 masks. Those are real cool. HHW

Hey Minion, the Aurora kits looks great! Is that wall paper? I'm trying to borrow ideas for my Monster room.

Raymond .. I love you.
General, is the the Don't ask, Don't tell ARMY?

Doc what stood out to me was your KISS window blind. Not that it was KISS but in that you have a window. How'd you manage that, the rest of us it seems are relegated to the basements.
-
Is that wall paper?
It's just plastic. It comes rolled/folded. Sold under the name "Scene Setters". I pickup up a bunch cheap after Halloween one year.
-
I feel so unworthy. Those rooms are amazing. Shock and awe! I have nothing to compare -- maybe my comics collection at one time, before I sold much of it -- but nothing like the rooms shown here. Wow.
One good thing is most of us can show our wives this thread and say, 'See how restrained I am?'
Actually, at my house the rule is 'no monster stuff upstairs,' altho I've cheated a little with the bust of the Bride of Frankenstein I got at Wonderfest, which is in the living room.
But I just gotta say that the energy in these UMA monster room photos -- the care and feeding of the hobby's inner truth -- is really empowering. And very wise. Great stuff!

Yeah, the HIII masks were the first things I zoomed in on. The fact that they are actual film props makes them even cooler.

-
You and me both! Those photos aren't fake. My stuff is really boxed up like that. One day I'll be gone and someone will thank me for boxing it all up because it will make it much easier to haul out to the curb for the trash truck to pick up. Crunch!
Ray, the sad part is, until I do my Monster room, that is what my collection looks like...

Words cannot describe the envy I am feeling right now....

Holy moly! You guys have some amazing displays! I am in awe of all the cool stuff I am seeing in this thread. Thanks for sharing pics everyone.
-
Amazing! I'm just starting out now and you can all be confident that as my collection grows, I'll be revisiting these pics for inspiration and ideas. It's all new to me, so there's so much out there I've never seen. But I look forward to learning..... :)
-
Hey Tom, I see you have a Marvel No Prize. Are employees elgible? I see it wasn't mailed to you, did it just happen to follow you home?
BK ;)
-
I may be wrong but I don't think they give them out any more.
I got mine from one when of my old Marvel Editors found an old box full of them up at Marvel and sent me a few as gifts .. So no I never got one the classic way by writing a great letter or finding a mistake in the pages of a pre - 1980 tys Marvel comic.
For those of you who are not Comic fans .. A No prize was something Stan Lee came up with when a reader went above and beyond the call of a normal reader and wrote a letter which pointed out a mistake made in a comic, a story point or continuity error and so forth. He came up with these No Prizes and would send out one.. An empty envelope with No Prize in it :)
I did not get mine by doing that but I still enjoy having them anyway :)
Best..

Hello all,
First off I just want to say how much better I think this board is than the last one. I never went to the last one because I didn't feel like it focused enough on just "monster talk". I really like the layout of this new site and also the fact that you can post photos in a thread. As long as the board stays along this new path I'll be a more active member.
On that note, here are a few photos of some of my collection... ENJOY!!!

I really like the layout of this new site and also the fact that you can post photos in a thread. As long as the board stays along this new path I'll be a more active member.
And for that I am grateful. You have an incredible collection there (is it Shawn?). I believe we have spoken once or twice before via e-mails? Love your Flickr folders by the way! Drooled all over myself there many times before. Thanks for sharing pics of your incredible collection!
-
Amazing collection Zombo. I know how you feel about the old board. I sometimes felt intimidated due to my lack of knowledge outside of monster toys and if its one thing these guys know is monster trivia. I'm liking these individual forums much better. Now it's time to go back to take a closer look at your collection pics. For the record, you've got one mighty sweet Ideal Monster Lab there. Just beautiful!
-
Zombo!
My monitor just exploded!!!
-
Hey Shawn,
Glad you made it over - I was really hoping you'd jump in on this post. You have one of the finest monster collections around. Some really amazing stuff, and a huge quantity of it...thanks for the pics. BTW...I'm still drooling over that green Shock MOnster mask of yours - AWESOME!
Andy

That is breathtaking, a wall of gorgeous red and green. Thanks so much for posting that.
-
Thanks fmofmpls (Terry correct?, yes it is Shawn) for the compliments and glad you enjoyed the flickr stuff. I'm actually on there quite a bit. It's amazing what you can find photos of searching around on there! I've also started groups on flickr focusing on photos of Monster magazines, old photos of people as kids in Halloween costumes (lots of Ben Cooper, Collegeville etc.), peoples collections on display, vintage roadside attraction souvenirs and Robert McGinnis paperback covers.
I threw in the photos of some of my movie poster collection just to show some stuff other than toys. Unfortunately it's much more difficult to display that collection!
Roback, what I meant about the old board was that I felt there was too much talk about things other than monster stuff. Now I'm interested in MANY things other than monsters, but I don't come here for talk of music, food, peoples kids, what you did over the weekend etc. There are other places for such things. At least now if that sort of stuff creeps in here it's easier to avoid.
Andy, thanks again for the invite. I would put up some better photos of that Shock Monster mask for you but my camera died. Maybe after Christmas!
Thanks again for the kind words all of you and please everyone keep posting photos of your collections!!! Also a really big THANK YOU goes out to all who made this site happen and keep it going. Keep up the good work!!!
-
Great pics, Shawn. I love your collection and the way you have it displayed. Total monster overload! ;D

It'll probably creep in here a lot, over in the general discussion area. Many of us have become friends (online and offline) beyond the monster hobby, and enjoy hearing each other share our thoughts on other subjects. I think people held back from that as much as they wanted to in order to try and accommodate people like yourself who didn't want to hear (read) any of it. Now everyone can get what they want without having to get it all if they don't wish to... which is a good thing. :)
The complaints mainly center around those who liked getting it all, and now that will be much harder. Hopefully they will be able to enjoy it anyway.
-
That's why I'm glad that there is a separate place for personal discussion amongst friends, I just hope that people use it. Sorry if I come off sounding like a jerk here, I don't mean to. I understand that many of you have become very good friends and that's great! Nothing like monster collector friends! I just thought that on the old board it took too much time to wade through the personal stuff to find the great discussions about monster items. I'm so glad that this board exists for all of us collectors to share info, ask questions and help each other out.
Anyway, sorry to get on a negative vibe here. That was never my intention. I'm already REALLY enjoying this board and I mean no harm! :P

No negative vibe whatsoever Shawn! You made a very valid point, and it is because of this new forum that folks like yourself will be able to zero in more easily on topics that truly interest them. That is exactly the point that you were making. And that is the point of this new forum too. Welcome Shawn to the UMA!
Best, Terry.

No, not at all. I agree with you 100%! You didn't sound like any sort of jerk. There was a lot of stuff I didn't care to read about on the old board, and mostly I didn't, but now conversation about topics I am interested in can flourish and so can topics I'm not interested in without me having to sort past them. Sorry if I came off sounding like I was bothered by your post, that wasn't the case by any means.
-
I could waste all night staring at your photos, Shawn. Just send me high-res versions and I'll blow them up to life size, turn them into wallpaper and plaster my walls with them. Instant monster room!
I see a lot of cool stuff, including the Shock Monster that Andy mentioned. That jumped out at me. But I'm most intrigued with your Castle Dracula and Mighty Monster statues. What are those knick knacks and where did they come from? Are they theme park souvenirs? I've never seen them before.
-
Ditto on the 'WOW' and Thank you for sharing those amazing photos!
Ditto on the 'Welcome to the UMA ',and yes please do share the backstory on those statues! Castle Dracula is in Niagra Falls right?
OR is it the Castle Dracula that USED to be in Florida (but sadly burned down).
Was it Daytona Beach? Myrtle Beach? I can't recall. I think it was Myrtle....
Quick story, circa 1986 or so...my family and I took a trip to Florida (Disneyworld) and I saw a panplet for a 'Castle Dracula' in the Hotel lobby. We made the treck to see it and drove up and down the street it was supposed to be on, only to find that it burned down just the WEEK BEFORE!
The reason we did not see it was that is was a cluttered blackened shell of a castle.
We did stop and I poked around a bit. Peering into the burned wreckage I could literally see gnarled arms and melted body husks...and swords. I wanted to climb in and start to pull out things...but WISELY my mother wouldn't let me.
(I would ended up crashing through the floor and sliding down to the 'ice cave' ala Daniel! LOL. I DID pick up a few programs...with burned edges and covered in soot. I kept that for years sadly remembering what I could have seen!
I may still have it somewhere...
ANYWAY...are those items from THAT Castle Dracula?
-
Yes that Castle Dracula Wolfman is one of the first things I keyed in on. I have Opened Zombo's Closet before. So I have seen all the goodies. My 2nd favorite items are all the Lakeside Monster games. ::) I have never seen the Frankie, Ghost and Drac. Of course I have the Wolfman and Have seen a couple of more of them on ebay. My Wolfman is Sealed So Willow and I have not played it. I need to find an open one. If anyone has extras on those Lakeside games give a howllll to Fake Wolfman. ;D HH
-
But I'm most intrigued with your Castle Dracula and Mighty Monster statues. What are those knick knacks and where did they come from? Are they theme park souvenirs?
Yes .. the Castle Dracula and Mighty Monster statues are among my favorite monster collectibles. I was told that they were indeed sold at the theme parks. I scored a mint Castle Dracula (dracula) statue off of eBay last year for relatively cheap. I was surprised I got it for only $49.00! You will notice that the pose of the ceramic statue resembles the Aurora Dracula!
-
Did a little research and apparently the Castle Dracula I was thinking of was apparently in Panama City...
A request on Flicker read thusly:
Does anyone have any photos or recollections of Castle Dracula right on the beach in Panama City? It was a wax museum that looked like a big white gothic castle with black spires. There was a moat and a drawbridge, and a Frankenstein would wave a cars out front. My parents have a couple of photos of us horsing around the front of it. Inside was an arcade on the right, a diorama of a vampire pushing the lid up on a coffin in the center, and a gift shop on the left. You would buy a big token that would activate the turnstile in the arcade and walk down a long dark hallway, push open a secret door and enter the cavern-like corridors of the spooky, bloody wax museum. The path was a twisting maze past scene after scene of monsters, tortures, monster movie scenes, victims, executions, and sometimes TV shows. At the end there was something of a platform where you saw a light show with disco music and slides of KISS projected intermittantly. After that, one or two more scenes and then you exited into the gift shop.
When we went through, I held my Dad's hand the WHOLE TIIME. I was terriffied, but very interested. I kept thinking a Dracula was going to jump out at us at anytime. It burned down or was demolished around 1984-85.
Maybe we should start a WAX MUSEUM/ Monster Haunted Attraction thread ?
Terry? Can I? HUh? Can I? Please?

First off just to clarify something, I'm not the Zombo that does the Zombos Closet blog. I didn't even know about him until after I had adopted the moniker for my flickr account.
Which reminds me that if any of you are interested in seeing more photos of things monster and non monster related you should go check out my flickr account when you have some spare time. Just go to www.flickr.com and search by member name. You'll find me under ZOMBOPHOTO.
Now on to business...
There were actually a few different CASTLE DRACULA attractions. There was one at Universal Studios in California which had nothing to do with the others which were the CASTLE DRACULA Wax Museums in Panama City Beach, Florida and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Then there was also the CASTLE DRACULA museum in Niagara Falls, Ontario and in Wildwood, New Jersey. On a related note there is the HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN Wax Museums in Lake George, New York and Niagara Falls, Ontario. I've been collecting items from all of these attractions for awhile now and would be happy to post photos as soon as I get a new camera (mine died). In the meantime I'll post some scans of various brochures from these attractions soon.
Those CASTLE DRACULA statues are among my favorite items that I own. I love the Dracula one!!! That and the Wolfman are banks by the way. If you look at the first and second photos of my museum, you'll notice that the Saucerman is wearing a t shirt from the CASTLE DRACULA attraction at Universal Studios. Also in the sixth photo you can see a brochure from the HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN and a snow globe bottle from the CASTLE DRACULA at Universal Studios.
Until I post more photos about these attractions, here's this for your enjoyment...

Sorry about the mix up. I had looked at your pictures before, but just got the names mixed up ;D

Oh no problem HH I just didn't want anyone to confuse us or to take any of his credit for what he does. I wasn't even sure if you were thinking that, it just reminded me of him and I thought I better clear that up!
And HH those Lakeside cannister games are great! If you can track them down they are worth having. The games themselves are rather simple and not much fun. Once they've been opened it's difficult to find them complete. My Dracula, or is it the Wolfman, is empty. I just love the containers!!

Yes when I first saw the Wolfman I wagged my tail to much. I paid a bit more than they go for now 8 years ago, when i found it. LOL I don't care I love it and I would love to have an open wolfman and the rest. The containers are the Best. HHW

Finally .. I was able to shoot some pics of my monster room.

I think for most of us, the licensed figures, or at least the ones that more closely resemble the movie monsters, hold greater sway than the Mego monsters. The value of the castle is higher for most Mego collectors than it is for most monster collectors, so when they come up, monster collectors are usually the underbidders. The AHI's, Lincolns, and Remcos are of more interest than the Megos. I'm happy with my set of Mego monsters, but the variants and such don't interest me, yet they do with AHI's and such. Andy has all kinds of Mego and Lincoln figs, but I'm not even sure he owns a set of loose Megos (Andy?). Raymond likes them a lot, but how much does a boxed castle go for? A grand? More? There are other things i want more for that money. Oh, if I saw a BIN on eBay for one at $150, it would be mine ;D
-
I'm impressed how neat and organized your collections are! Mine is a dusty mess and stuck everywhere " even on the ceiling :)" in my little cottage/studio. When you find the time to clean everything? Do your wives clean them for you? Mine will not touch my stuff and after she threw out my original Jack Davis 6 foot Frank poster years ago and I really don't want her to .
My Mom used to bust up my stuff on her cleaning sprees back when I was a little monster kid too. They have no respect for the great art of monster collecting !
But I really got to invest in some glass cabinets someday .
Best..

Tom, I have a rule about cleaning a shelf a week, and just go around the room and keep it cleaned off. It's not a perfect plan, but seems to do fairly well. My monster room is also my office, and where my computer is... so I spend a lot of time in it every day.
-
fmofmpls, you're display is INCREDIBLE! I love that you've got an old school gothic chandelier covered in cobwebs. Such a nice touch, along with the wallpaper.
I hate all of you though. I have neither the room nor the money to be starting another collection... but after seeing these pics, I have no choice. lol I think I'll go slow though. Maybe one little thing each week.
-
Cleaning is no problem, I just don't do it. I know I should but..... well I don't. The only time it kinda happens is when I'm reorganizing. Having glass cases helps but as you can see a lot of my stuff is just out in the open. And my computer is set up in my monster museum as well.
-
Professor: Is that really a bust of Pallus that your Raven is perched on? I still want to know who in the respective households dusts all this stuff? Or do cries of "Don't be touchin' my stuff!" echo off the walls, out the doors and down the streets?
"Meek"(done and dusted)
There is an amazing amount of covet-able THINGS on display...
MY Monster room is too small to swing a Pendulum, but hopefully bigger digs means a bigger Monster Room...at least that's what my wife tells me!
These pictures are OLD, and I am currently in the midst of a massive re-organization. Inspired by some of the collections I've seen in the group, I am MIXING my monsters. Yes, the shelves will contain groups of Monsters in sets...all the Mego monsters together, all my Auroras together, etc...
Formally they were all segregated as you'll see.
I have a LOT more items and even added a couple of more shelves but the wall paint job is the same, and the Moon and the stars STILL glow in the dark...
I'll take all new pics soon...but for now, here is what was...

Dusting is fun time. That's when I play with my toys! If they just sit there and you don't dust them, you don't get to take them out and play with them. I especially love getting around to the batt op toys because I get to put batteries in them and fire them up!

I like the Mad Monster Castile and would surely buy a complete mint-in-box one for $500 if I had the opportunity. But $1,000-$1,500? Nah. There are too many other things I'd rather own. If it was an AHI monster castle, I'd snatch it up.
I own one solid-boxed set and one loose set of Mego Mad Monsters. I used to have a loose, naked red-haired Dracula. I sold him years ago. The money was too good to pass up (about $450). If it had been my only example of a rare AHI variation, I would never have parted with him. I also used to own a Kresge-carded Wolfman, but sold him. The card was rough and the bubble resealed. Bad condition + good money = SELL. But not if it had been an AHI or Lincoln!
I just can't see spending a lot on window-boxed Mad Monsters, Kresge cards, Lionrock cards, etc. They are cool to see in other people's collections, but I'm satisfied with my solid-boxed set. The solid boxes are the way I remember them from childhood, and are probably the most iconic and typical packaging style for this toy series. I might upgrade a couple of my solid boxes one day, but I don't expect to buy the more expensive package variations any time soon, unless a super deal falls in my lap or I stumble on a "hidden" auction.
As for the Castle, yeah, I'm sure I'll buy it one of these days, but it's low on my priority list.
I keep passing on the only one I ever see for $1300 One day I will have one. ;)

Meek has the best wall decor so far.
Bobby, what is that orange-jacketed Frankenstein statue standing next to your other big Franks?

I remember that auction. I believe ChrisDVM from the Mego Museum won that one. On a side note, how many Red-Haired Draculas and Blue-Haired Frankensteins do you think are out there? I've seen several of the Draculas, but I'm only aware of two Blue-Haired Frankensteins.

Thanks Nekro Dave! The chandelier was something I found at a garage sale. I then went to Home Depot and bought 6 flicker flame bulbs for extra added realism! LOL!
I hate all of you though. I have neither the room nor the money to be starting another collection... but after seeing these pics, I have no choice. lol I think I'll go slow though. Maybe one little thing each week.
And that's how all good collections begin - small. Never mind the space issues or even the money concerns, if the love is there .. it'll find a way. I know that sounds corny, but it's true. And whatever you do, don't fall victim to the comparison game. It doesn't matter who has what. All that matters is your personal enjoyment of the crap you do own and not obsessing over stuff that you don't. This is the secret to building a long and prosperous monster collection.
-
Cleaning is no problem, I just don't do it. I know I should but..... well I don't. The only time it kinda happens is when I'm reorganizing.
Zombo, I'm so glad you said this. Misery loves company because I also do not dust. I gave up a long time ago. Now I just reconcile my poor cleaning skills with telling everyone the dust makes it all look even more creepy! Did the Munsters ever dust anything? I think not. :)
-
Thanks for the advice! I hate to say it, but traditionally I've been VERY competitive in my collecting, lol. However with the monster stuff, there is just so much out there that I could get to make a collection look nice, even if I don't necessarily have anything rare or valuable, that I think I'll be satisfied. It's how it looks that's gonna be more important to me than anything else.
Btw, great point about the dust! I can see how it could totally enhance a monster collection (as opposed to something else). I remember when I was a kid, I had a few EC horror mags hanging about a door, sporting some old, nurtured spider webs. Man, they looked great like that until my mom stupidly knocked them down. I was furious. lol.
-
On the subject of the Mego monsters...Bobby is correct. I have had many loose and solid boxed ones over the years, and I have sold them. I had a Kresge Mummy and sold it. They just don't interest me as much as the AHI or Lincoln monsters. When I was a kid, I remember getting a couple mego monsters, and really didn't like any of them except the mummy - and he's still my favorite of the bunch. But I LOVED the AHI monsters - they were just more like the real monsters and to me had more play value. It's probably why I just don't go out of my way to collect them today.
-
They just don't interest me as much as the AHI or Lincoln monsters.
Don't let Griffin here you talk like that Andy! The Mego Mad Monsters are his boys. You better watch out. I warned you. :o
I'm sure there's a Mego Mad Monster essay being composed right now as we speak! :)

The thing I love about collections is that we all have different focuses and interest. Of all the collections posted in this thread, we all have things that each other would love to have, and each one is unique in it's own way. There are some relatively small collections that didn't have a ton of money put into them that are very unique and special. Focus on what you love and can afford, and you can't go wrong. Years ago, I loved a lot of things but I didn't have the money for anything I really wanted, so I started collecting ceramic figures from Japan that have rabbit fur glued to them as decoration. Yes, it's an absurd thing to collect, but actually there are a lot of them and I had more fun looking for those things and collecting them... I'm not saying you should take up ceramic animal collecting, what I'm saying is your collection will only be as good as the fun you have putting it together, so make sure it's fun and not stress. There will always be someone with a bigger, better collection... well, maybe unless you are Bob Burns.

I agree I love everyones collection on here. They show Ideas and they all show love. HHW

Are these pics of "Meek's" collection? I thought it was the "Professor's"
I, too, like the purple painted walls.
Great monster room, Meek! ;D
I love your painted walls and UMA purple!
Dusting is fun time. That's when I play with my toys! If they just sit there and you don't dust them, you don't get to take them out and play with them. I especially love getting around to the batt op toys because I get to put batteries in them and fire them up!
-
Those purple walls belong to Professor Griffin; not Meek. Thanks for clarifying this.
-
HH, that box is an original cardboard shipping box for the Zoo-Piks Monster I-Scream Spoons from 1965. It's amazing!! It's definitely one of the highlights of my collection I think. I bought it years ago off e-bay. It's the thing that I'm sure "normal" people would think I'm crazy for spending so much money on. An empty cardboard box. But I love it. I need to put up better photos, because it's really cool.
I missed out on that drinking glass shipping case years ago. Man I really want that. It was for the Wolfman and the packaging art was incredible!
-
Ye giddy Gods and little fishes! My horror collectibles could almost fit in a walnut shell with pleanty of space to spare compared to the likes of what's been shown here. I have assorted Sideshow figures and a healthy amount of books on horror films.
AS for my walls, they are bone white with a dusting of cobwebs when not obscured by bookcases and prints of old horror film posters.

Just so you know, I've decided to say that every time you post from now on. It will always be followed by:
Eek! It's Meek!
This administrative decision is final.

I think I owned that box at one point... and all the spoons that were left in it, too. I pulled it out of the basement of a restaurant in Seattle.

Greetings
Ye gods...I go away for a weekend and my room has been given to someone else! But promptly returned.
Yes, the hand painted walls are mine...and more importantly, it glows in the dark!
Much rennovation going on currently, with new and greater photos to be added.
Eek! It's Meek!
Yes, that is a bust of Athena that Leonard (my wife named him) is perched on.
It's NOT an actual bust, but a prop head that I made for a Poe-Themed Halloween party many years ago.
Light enough to rest on my OLD monitor. My new monitor is too thin for nonsense like that.
-
Don't let Griffin here you talk like that Andy! The Mego Mad Monsters are his boys. You better watch out. I warned you. :o
I'm sure there's a Mego Mad Monster essay being composed right now as we speak! :)
Don't make me post Christmas with Plastic Dead Men again...I'll do it! I'm just that kind of crazy.
The Mad Monster Castle...long gone and deeply mourned.

Well, I took the pics so I might as well show them, I guess. We'll call this "humble beginnings". Nothing very exciting, mostly newer stuff I've picked up here and there along the way (I've spent the last few years actively trying NOT to start collecting monsters) and a few things that I got in the last few weeks. Perhaps in the years to come, I'll have something more impressive to show and you can all look back and say "To think I knew you when....."! hahaha
ps- pay no mind to the robuts.....

Humble beginnings my foot! Thats an awesome collection. A Telco Mummy, Gre-gory, Rodan, some boxed Collegeville costumes..etc..Great stuff. not to mention all that fantastic Jumbo Machinder stuff.
-
I was thinking the very same thing. No way is your collection small. I like the way you've got everything displayed too. Dig those Shogun Warriors. An instant blast to the past.
-
Great looking monster room, NekroDave!
-
Wow, Gre-Gory, Rodan, Machinders and the Monster Squad game, can I come over?
Seriously, that's an incredible collection, you should be very proud.
-
Lov ethe room, Nekrodave.
Very nice display.
-
I agree, Dave. That's a GREAT collection and a fantastic display. Thanks for the pics!
-
Whatcha got in those other cases on the other side of that chest of drawers, Dave?
-
Thanks for the encouragement, guys. And don't worry, I've very proud of my collection overall! (I've got a whole 'nother room full of Japanese robots and kaiju, but that's not what we're here for. :) ) But, though I may have a couple neat things, I know I can't even compare to most of what's already been shown in this thread when it comes to monsters.
Toy Ranch, that case is full of more Jumbo Machinders, my main hobby. I've got about 80 of the damn things now. I won't clutter this board with it, but I just uploaded about 30 or so pics to my flickr page if you, or anyone, wants to take a gander at the rest of my stuff.

-
Very cool Room. People show your rooms. No room to big or to small. ;D
-
Very cool, Dave. I never had many jumbos, but always liked them a lot. Back in the day, I used to post on CJT and had a pretty nice collection of Godaikins and other Japanese diecast. Love that stuff...
-
Hey Dave. Love that collection! Thanks for sharing the pics! You've got the disease alright of which I'm afraid there is no cure.
-
Dave, sorry, couldn't take your advice. Where did you find the Gort and how tall is he?
BK
ps- pay no mind to the robuts.....
-
Gort is a 16" tall resin statue released last year by Rocket USA. It was limited to 1951 pieces. I got mine on ebay from a seller called "vending-machine1" for only $80 shipped, which is the best price I've seen. Cheapest one up now is $99+12shipping.. :(
Toy Ranch, cool to know you were on CJT back when. I don't remember your name from there. Was that before my time or under another moniker? My friends find it rather odd, but I never cared much for the vintage diecasts. Too clunky looking for my tastes.
-
Hey Dave I was also wondering about that Gort, it looks pretty cool.
What the hell is that blue stuffed robut in the last photo?
The collection's lookin' great though, you're so easy to get hooked! ;D
-
What the hell is that blue stuffed robut in the last photo?
I have no idea really. It was being sold by a guy in Belgium and resembled a carnival machinder so I bought it just in case it was another cheap old carnival prize. It was only $10.
-
Wowzeers!
These are some great pics guys!
My monster display is severely lacking due to a couple of other cumbersome toy addictions I have...
...BUT...
I must say I am inspired by this new site and all these amazing pics (wheels turning).
My New Years resolution shall be to create a Monster Display that does me proud.
-
Now that's an admirable New Year's Resolution!
-
I'm in on that resolution as well, as long as I can get out of this maze of junk down here that is!

Rob Zombie/Cummings, please PM me if you'd like the authentic Addams bear (it's over here).

Anyway, here she is, the reel...er... REAL ADDAMS FAMILY prop Polar Bear...

By the way, contrary to Zombie's blurb on CRIBS, the 1965 TV bear and the 1991 movie bear are one and the same bear, used on BOTH productions...
Zombie sure does have alotta nice posters, though...

Bob, I know we've discussed this subject before over at the old YG, but can you tell us again as to how Mr. Zombie ended up with a fraudulent Addams' Bear? How did he get duped into believing this was the real deal? Did you ever attempt to contact him regarding his faux bear?
BTW, Rob Zombie needs to enlist in this group in a big way. It's all too obvious that he's one of us.

I was just gonna ask the same thing, and where did his bear come from?? Was it from another show/movie??

Very cool, rob z is a monster kid! I have the munster poster but none of the others!

A little History
The authentic Addams Family bear was the 'company mascot' of Ellis Merchantile (Hollywood's oldest and largest prop house- since the early 1900s). She stood in the Ellis lobby for years and was often photographed with clients, visitors, and the like. At Christmas, she sported a Santa hat, a tradition we continue.
This bear was also used in the 1991 film version of ADDAMS (in the treasure room/home movies scene with Julia and Lloyd), and also the disco favorite THANK GOD, IT'S FRIDAY! (in the bar scenes), plus dozens of other productions I don't know about, as the bear was a Hollywood rental prop for 30+ years. [Always interested in hearing about any bear spottings on TV/movies...!]
Ellis Props and Graphics was located on LaBrea in LA, a few blocks up from General Service Studios, where THE ADDAMS FAMILY was shot. Filmways (Addams production company) rented props from Ellis, and also had their own small prop department. I also found Wednesday Addams' tricycle in the Ellis stock, plus they also owned Grandpa Munster's electric chair from THE MUNSTERS, and Maxwell Smart's shoe phone from GET SMART (now both owned by other collectors). Ellis had a couple of million props(or more) in their inventory, many of which I got to play with because I knew one of the owners and was there behind the scenes. The bulk of the remaining inventory was sold at public auction out at Universal, sold in huge lots over several days.

Thats a VERY cool story.

As always Bob, Thanks for the photos and especially the knowledge. With out horror historians like you out there to set it straight, the legends just keep getting more and more muddled. I'd bet Zombie has heard by now that while he's got A polar bear, it is not THE polar bear.

This business about polar bear accuracy is astounding. One of the things I love about the squid community is its neverending desire to know everything in detail...
I've never seen polar bear accuracy taken to this level before.
Is that...Carolyn Jones in the Santa suit??

Isn't that the modern day HP Lovecraft obsessed Cthulu followers?

Heh heh...I knew if I used that term, someone would get wiggly. "Squid" is a term that originated, as far as I know, in the special effects field. A squid is a really passionate fan of a certain thing or certain things in the science fiction/horror/fantasy world. Supposedly the term refers to the way a maniac fan will reach out and try to touch the things he/she admires; i.e., the "tentacles come out." When I first heard the term in the late 80's, it was derogatory in nature, but then gradually it became a badge of honor signifying one's love and devotion. People who once laughed and called other people squids came around to realizing that they themselves were squids and that it was nothing to be ashamed of.
I guess it is similar to "geek" but it tends to be applied specifically to people who love science fiction, horror and fantasy.
Squids of the world, untie!

Members take pictures of your monster rooms. Post em here. :)

Bob. Thanks for that fascinating tutorial on correctly identifying an Addams polar bear. The pictures and background info were amazing. Great stuff!
BTW, Santa gave me the Addams Family The Complete Serires dvd boxed set for Xmas. He did this because I'm a nice boy. I'm going to watch episode 49 'Christmas With The Addams Family' sometime today because your post has inspired me. Could you also recommend a definitive episode where one could view the Addams bear in detail? Any that stand out over the rest?
Thanks Bob and Happy Holidays!

Squids of the world, untie!
The Universal Squid Army?

The Universal Squid Army?
YES.
I mean, case in point, this thread. You could win a bet with this thread, it is so thoroughly researched. A squid is serious about it, just because he/she/it loves being serious about it. It makes for some fun conversations!

I think if you are going to collect something like movie props, which can be a high-dollar field to be sure... you'd better do your homework and make sure you are actually buying what you think you are buying, because otherwise you're going to get taken... as obviously Rob Zombie has been...
-
Terry-
Thanks. This bear was used in the second season only. In the early first season, a much smaller, very beat-up looking bear was used. It, too, was a polar bear, but had been dyed dark brown, Lord knows why. Its arms stuck straight out, as if sleepwalking. I believe the cause of this was that it's arms had been broken and repaired and broken and repaired over time (pre-Addams use)- it just looked funky and unnatural. This first bear belonged to MGM (as a lot of the Addams props did-including the set), and they took it back in the first season for reasons unknown. Filmways wanted to buy it, but it wasn't for sale. A totem pole took its place in several episodes. The Addams production company was seeking a replacement bear and someone knew of this one, which was sitting in storage in Seattle. When taken, this bear was a world record Alaskan Polar Bear, or so they say. Apparently Ellis bought it at this point, or ended up with it, anyway. They had a huge taxidermy department.
(http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g107/backlotcharlie/addamsbeary.jpg)
There are several episodes (like most of the second season) that show this bear really well.
52- Fester goes On A Diet; There is a fabulous head to toe shot when Fester is exercising in the living room to Jack LaLayne that shows how big this thing really is.
54- Ophelia Finds Romance has alot of good shots, and Gomez impales the bear with a retractable sword at the 15:00 mark of the DVD.
53- the Great Treasure Hunt , and 62- Lurch's Little Helper (with Robby the Robot) both have decent backround shots.
The Best bear episode, though, is probably 62- The Addams Policy, where Fester burns the bear to a cinder with a blowtorch while trying to light Gomez's cigar. Obviously done in the darkroom with trick photography, it's cool because even while burning, you can see the bear's undisturbed shadow still on the wall! An interesting and funny sidenote, in the original script, the direction is given " NOTE: We of course never actually burn the bear..."
It is nice to have the luxury of these DVD's now. When I was originally doing my research, all I had was grainy, 20 year old VHS tapes that I had made off of UHF television!
BTW, cool rug, Bobby!

Hi. I just wanted to pop in and say hello. I'm completely floored by the amazing collection pics here. I'm a mask collector but I've been browsing this board and have found some great topics and threads.
Congrats on the new site!

Hey, WELCOME! Glad you dropped in. Now post some of your FM Topstones! ;D

OK, this may work... with any luck, new pics in a few days...

Come on gang. Show your monster goodness. I will add a few more pictures this evening. HHW

All your new comers and oldens. Come on no matter how small or large. Show your monster rooms. HHW ;D

Finally I decided upload here my collection, but I'm a little shame because my collection is very small in comparation with the UMA members, but is growing day by day.

That's all at the moment, this is part of my collection :)
-
Dude! You have a great monster collection! Thanks for showing us. I love your stuff, and you have a great flair for displaying it well.
-
Wow!! That's incredible!
For some reason, for me at least, none of the pictures below the "Vampy" game one are showing up. I had to right click and select view picture to see them. However, I'm really glad I did. There's a classic case of "one of these things is not like the other" in there....a "Fraggle Rock" dvd!!! That's totally awesome.
Once again, amazing. Your collection is not only far bigger than I thought it was last year, it's far bigger than I thought it was last week!
-
Awesome stuff Morkai. I love that Vampi game. It's just like a game I had as a kid called "Beware The spider" except with scorpions.
I see a King Diamond tape in there too ;D
-
Once again, I love looking at your photos Morkai. You've got a very impressive collection of monster stuff, metal music and horror movies. I'm sure everyone here will enjoy looking though these photos.
Love The Reptile model, and what's that small Los Monstrous thing, a book?
-
Thanks for the comments guys!!! But I'm sure that my collection is very small at the moment and needs much more things :) hehehe.
Nekrodave, is you cannot see all the pics you can see here :
http://s26.photobucket.com/albums/c129/Morkai666/
In the left menu appears several albums, the lasts pics were taken from the one that said "Fotos Nueva Camara"
And Yessss, I'm a total maniac of Fraggle Rock :) And all the cartoons and TV shows what I saw when I was a child.
Dr.Terror, sure King Diamond Rules!!! I love Metal music, and King Diamond is one of my favourites.
Zombophoto which "Los Monstruos" are you talking about? In which pic appears? Now I not know what is... :(
Or maybe you are talking about "Super Monstruos" a card game?
-
Morkai, collecting is a journey, not a destination. It's not about what you have today so much as about what you will have tomorrow. And your collection is by no means small.
I think Zombophoto is talking about the plastic monster figures with the counter display box.
-
Yes Toyranch, I'm agree with you. Collect is a journey. I suppossed that in 10 years my collection will be much more bigger :)
I really Love Monsters, as you can see, I need more space, and I want make a Monster room too. Now is a Monster House, because all the house is full of Monsters in every place. The people that came here said that I'm crazy for it!!!
Mmmmm Zombophoto knows well the Super Monstruos PVC Box, We were talling about these figures the last day. I think that he is talking about a card game with the same name. This card game:

(http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c129/Morkai666/Fotos%20nueva%20camara/DSC00373.jpg)
These card games was formed for 33 cards, and is a Family Monster funny game from the years 80's. This game was based in other cards released a couple of years before called "Monstruos Diabolicos" it was a trading card formed for 80 cards, and really Underground collection.
(http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c129/Morkai666/Fotos%20nueva%20camara/34-39y42-47Panelcentral.jpg)
Super Monstruos card game was a very popular game here in Spain in the years 80's, and nowadays is a cult item for all the Monster Lovers.
-
Wow, those are COOL! I'd love to get a set... do you ever run into them for sale?
-
Wow, those are COOL! I'd love to get a set... do you ever run into them for sale?
I can try to find it, but is very difficult to find this card set. If I see anytime, be sure that I buy it :)
I have a lot of other Monster trading cards stuff from the years 70's and 80's. Tomorrow I upload more stuff. I have a really good collections called: Monstruos, Monstruos y Leyendas, Leyendas de Terror, Otros Mundos... etc.
-
I'll gladly buy it from you or trade you for stuff that you want, if you can find more :)
-
I'll gladly buy it from you or trade you for stuff that you want, if you can find more :)
Of course, I'm always open to trade, I prefer it :) Because there are a lot of things that I am looking for.
But be patient with this, because as I said before, is hard to find, is possible that one day appears. Don't worry, because I look all the days, and always I'm with a open eye. I have a radar with the Monster stuff hehehe.
Take a look to these pics:
These are a lot of Horror Trading cards albums:
(http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c129/Morkai666/DSC00377.jpg)
And this is my favourite of all... Monstruos. I made this collection in 1986 with 10 years old :)
(http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c129/Morkai666/Monstruosdelantera.jpg)
(http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c129/Morkai666/Monstruostrasera.jpg)
(http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c129/Morkai666/Monstruos1.jpg)
But still there are more rare albums that I want and I haven't: Galería de Monstruos, Horribles Familias, Hippy Monsters and Choconstein. Someday will be mine...
-
I forgot!!!
Click this site...
http://www.revistafantastique.com/revista.php?articulo=202---Colecciones-de-cromos
Is writen in Spanish, but you can see pics of several Horror/Sci Fiction Spanish collections. Was written for myself :)
-
Morkai, great collection! It's nice to see some love for The Dark Crystal. I'm fanatical when it comes to that movie...
-
Morkai, great collection! It's nice to see some love for The Dark Crystal. I'm fanatical when it comes to that movie...
Dark Crystal rules!!! Is one of my favourite fantasy movie, and Into The Labyrinth, The Storyteller... etc. Jim Henson was a GOD!!!
-
The sequel to the Dark Crystal is slated for (I think) a 2009 release. Everyone involved with the original film are working in the same capacities for this one, except of course for dear Jim. In his directorial stead, they have hired Genndy Tartakovsky, he of Samurai Jack, Dexter's Laboratory, etc. Brian Froud is back for designs/conceptual work, Trevor Jones for the score, the voice actors for Aughra, Jen, Kira, etc... everybody's on board. Might be incredibly cool. It's one of my favorite films, always will be, so I would love to see how they follow it up.
Mike C.
-
Amazing and ever-growing collection! I love those monster cards, too! I noticed that Jack Davis Frankenstein image on the one sheet.
-
A Dark Crystal sequel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great New!!!!! I not Know about it!!! I hope that the movie be good :) I'm sure :)
Andy, don't worry that If I found another card-set, will be yours, but you are the third in the list are Zombophoto and Toyranch :) Be patients that is very possible that I cannot get any set, is really hard to find :(
I'm with my vampiric eyes open :)
-
Thanks Morkai for giving me a glimpse into the world of Spanish horror collecting. There are definitely some cool things I've never seen before. And that is a cool shot of you (?) and Paul Naschy.

MMM, Paul Naschy is like God for the HorrorManiacs in Spain, but there are not toys, I only know a Model Kit from the movie "Licántropo, el asesino de la luna llena" but is very rare and hard to find. I have all his Horror Movies and some posters, one is singed by the own Naschy. I also have the recent comic book based in "El retorno del Hombre Lobo" movie, but nothing more.
Paul Naschy must have his own action figure, I hope someday...

That's if they ever get it off the ground. No one ever seems to have a definitive answer when/if this is coming out. The latest rumor I heard is a DTV release which while i'll still buy/enjoy, I really want to see it on the big screen...
-
Dr.Terror, sure King Diamond Rules!!! I love Metal music, and King Diamond is one of my favourites.
King Diamond rules, but Merciful Fate reigned supreme! I was a big metal head in my day. Slayer, Venom, Possessed, Exodus, etc. were all part of my music library in the late 80s. I was a head banger myself. I played in a band called Vile. We made it as far as being featured in Creem Metal magazine as well as a nice gig with Wendy O Williams at First Avenue here in Mpls. Almost snagged a deal with Metal Blade records too. Then I went and got married. Done. Game over. ;D
Nice collection BTW Mokai!
-
"Don't Break the Oath", one hell on an album.
-
The first two Mercyful Fate and the first couple of King Diamond albums are awesome.
Terry you actually played a show with Wendy O? W.O.W. !!
You have any photos?
-
Terry you actually played a show with Wendy O? W.O.W. !!

I did indeed. My band Vile was the warm up act. We also played with the Misfits. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics, but I think some of my old friends do. I'll have to go see what I can come up with. I know there's some pics out there that I wouldn't dare share! I'm talking about pics that could yield a lot of blackmail power should they fall into the wrong hands. ;D
-
Great to see a lot of people here is or was Metalhead!!!
Of course, Mercyful Fate likes me too!!! I have seen 3 times and other 3 times to King Diamond. The last show was great!!!
My favourite Mercyful Fate's album is: "Don't Break the Oath" and my favourite King Diamond is: "The Eye", I prefer King Diamond, because is more theatral and the lyrics concepts are more near to Horror/Ghost Stories... etc. I prefer the sories in King Diamond Lyrics.
Terry and Wendy Williams!!!!!! GREAT!!! hehehe. Your musical tastes was great!!! Expecially love Possessed :) But my favourites of all the times are Bathory :)
-

Wendy O! Haven't heard that name in a while. Not sure I could find it, but I used to have a photo of an illustration I did of her promoting a friend's record store. He had her sign it at one of her concerts.

For those who enjoy with the Super Monstruos card Set, here is the rare trading-card collection in which were based later the Super Monstruos cards. The number 31 called "El carroñero" was almost impossible to find and those who get it, can trade in the shop or in the place where bought the cards for a Monster T Shirt, a space vehicle, a Robot or several more things, depends the city and the area.
Here is a pic of a boy that in the years 80's get "The Carroñero" and changed it for this cool shirt...
(http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c129/Morkai666/NioconcamisetaMonstruosDiabolicos.jpg)
And here is the complete set.
(http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c129/Morkai666/MonstruosDiabolicos.jpg)
Monstruos Diabolicos was the most rare and hard to find collection of Monster Cards. There were 2 collections, the first one was form the earlies 80's and the second Re-edition was from the latests 80, earlys 90's. There were the same cards.
-
Those cards are great! I love the artwork! The Darth Vader and ET cards are hysterical...
-
Looks like there's a "Verne Langdon Zombie" in that set!!!! How freakin' cool is that???
-
Looks like there's a "Verne Langdon Zombie" in that set!!!! How freakin' cool is that???
Yes, hehehe, the number 21 is the Langdon Zombie, here called "La Máscara". The authors of these "cromos" (Cromos is the word that we used here to said trading cards) have copy from every place. This collection rules!!! I remember when I was a child in the 80's, all the kids were crazy for these cromos.
-
...and now the kids here at the HMA are crazy for these cromos! ;) I just can't believe they made a Langdon Zombie card! That is a true testament to the global cultural impact of that seemingly obscure mask. How cool! :)
-
Sometimes when we get together it just seems like a GAY OL" TIME!
(http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd54/gracebuster/January2008002.jpg)
Both married with kids, btw! So don't get any funny ideas!!!!!!!
-
I see Reddy Killowatt in the background!! Haven't seen him for years around these parts since they tore down the power station. He used to sit on the side of one of the towers, glowing red and bright along I-75 going into downtown Dayton!
Amazing!!
Mike

Hey, I shared that set with Verne and he found this!

Yes, in this web are all the cards, except 1, the 31, that is The Carroñero!!!
These cards rules!!! hehehe.
-
Wow what a crazy set, love the bloody Vader and of course the Langdon Zombie. It looks like that one guy was taken from the movie Squirm maybe?
-
Wow what a crazy set, love the bloody Vader and of course the Langdon Zombie. It looks like that one guy was taken from the movie Squirm maybe?
Hehehe, yes the squirm guy is the 57 "El agusanado" Squirm = Gusano :) But all the cards are copies from everyplace. The Bloody Darth Vader have triumph!!! I remember when I was a child this cromo was a cult, because all the people loved Star Wars in that moment, and the same for ET, the Extraterrestial. But there are more copies!!! take a look to the number 27 "Dragón Tauro", is taken from "Curse of the demon" movie, and the 69 "La bruja" (The witch), is the same witch created for Harryhausen a lot of years ago in his fairytales Stop Motion animations. There are a lot of cards that are copies of another spanish collection called "Otros Mundos", later I upload scans. Otros Mundos it was together with "Monstruos" my 2 favourites Trading Cards collections of the 80's. There are very speciall for me, because I was 8 years old with "Otros Mundos" and 10 years old with "Monstruos". I remember that I was obsessed with these collections.
-
Here is part of the "Otros Mundos" collection. The scans are a little cut, because my scan is smaller that the album :( But you can make a idea the greatest collection that was "Otros Mundos", from 1984.

Very cool, thanks for the link, Dan. It's great to see the detailed scans of these. These cards are very representative of what I love about monster toys; the cool, artistically off-kilter renderings of these monsters remind me of the AHI monster packaging as well as lots of other 60's items. Fun stuff.
-
Definitely some awesome collections! I'm currently working on finishing my basement to display my meager little collection. Any Myspacers are welcome to check out my page, I've recently gone through and cataloged most of my stuff:

Various views of our bedroom; you have to love a woman who'll let you do this to a room! I painted it up to look a little tavern-like, adding cracks and stones, etc. At any rate, here ya go--
First, the Classic Monsters! Sideshows (apologies to some of youse guys!) on the top two shelves, then some Megos, AHIs, etc... and of course, my UMA buttons proudly displayed to the lower left:
(http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x21/Paaaaaaaah/monsters/IMG_0183.jpg)
Another angle, and the Haunted Mansion figures on the smaller bottom shelf:
(http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x21/Paaaaaaaah/monsters/IMG_0185.jpg)
The Nightmare Before Christmas collection to the left of the Universal shelf (that's a Twelve Faces of Jack, #68, signed by Tim Burton, to the right):
(http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x21/Paaaaaaaah/monsters/IMG_0174.jpg)
The smaller set of Monster shelves, opposite the Universal shelf. Zombie shelf at bottom, Kong at the top. It made sense to me... and yes, Edward Scissorhands fell over. The guy's got scissors for hands, give 'im a break. Oh, and below, Dr. Pretorius presides over the Franklin Mint Universal Monsters knife set:
(http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x21/Paaaaaaaah/monsters/IMG_0187.jpg)
The Sleepy Hollow shelf, with some Disney and some Burton... the Horseman model kit (far left) is holding Burton's head:
(http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x21/Paaaaaaaah/monsters/IMG_0178.jpg)
Then the model shelf, mostly Auroras, most 70's Glow, a few Monogram reissues... and some Aliens:
(http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x21/Paaaaaaaah/monsters/IMG_0179.jpg)
Eh, I wish I had the money and room to get more deeply into the 60's era of monster toys, but such is my fate. I'm sure digging what I HAVE collected!

-
Nice collection Mike! Thanks for sharing those pics! Loved viewing them this morning as I sipped my coffee. Salute!
-
Very cool, Mike. Love the NMBC stuff!
-
Hey, a fellow Tim Burton fan! I have a lot of NMB4C stuff, too, just no room to display it properly. You have a wonderfully presented collection, Mike. Thanks for the pics!
-
Great collection you have Mike. I have seen that you also likes the Puppet Master's toys!!! Me too. I love Puppet Master and Empire/Fullmoon pictures :)
-
Thanks for the nice words, guys. I suppose the main reason I have them so neatly presented is that I wouldn't be ALLOWED to show them any other way... my wife would simply tear it down!
Morkai, nice eagle eye there... I only have a few PuppetMaster things, but I've been a fan of Charles and Richard Band's productions since the days of Empire.
Anyway, it's nice to hear compliments on my little collection from the Big Guys in here, hahah!

Just an aside here, regarding displaying our collections...
Now I know the figures in these pics aren't Universal Monsters, but the way I lit them is what I wanted to show:
(http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x21/Paaaaaaaah/monsters/IMG_0191.jpg)

A 9v ('wall-wart') power adapter, some speaker wire, a handful of .25c LEDs and resistors, and a soldering iron. Makes the shelf come to life... and I hope to do it to my Universal Monster shelves soon. Easy peasy, and fun to aim and set up.
What's really nice is the UV/blacklight LEDs (okay, they're more than .25c, sorry) worked perfectly for the Haunted Mansion ghosts because they're painted with UV paint.
At any rate, don't mean to derail the thread, but thought some input on how we display our things couldn't hurt. :-)

Sometimes when we get together it just seems like a GAY OL" TIME!

Both married with kids, btw! So don't get any funny ideas!!!!!!!
LOL Yeah I hope we didn't get much drool in the Glass. Bob Morris Owns that glass now. ;D
-
Yep...drool and all...I'm gonna get Dan cloned!

Hey Mike-
Your mini Haunted Mansion is great!
-
That's a great photo of you guys. Something tells me you weren't drinking skim milk from that glass either. That something would be "Howard Harris". I don't think the guy's ever even tasted milk! :D

Holy SPIT Mike....
Those are beautiful! No apologies necessary...thanks for sharing that! Man I love that. You recreated the look of the ride effortlessly.
Please tell me more. Are they on a free shelf (wall shelf) or part of another display?
Love the back lighting.
Just an aside here, regarding displaying our collections...
Now I know the figures in these pics aren't Universal Monsters, but the way I lit them is what I wanted to show:

"Please tell me more. Are they on a free shelf (wall shelf) or part of another display?"
They're on their own shelf, but just below the three Universal Monster shelves in the previous pics (you can see them if you hop back up to the original pics). So they are part of the larger display, I'd say.
The LED set up is pretty simple. I made a little diagram on Paint to give you the main idea:
(http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x21/Paaaaaaaah/monsters/led.jpg)
The value of the resistors depends on the LEDs used; in my case, they're all 220 ohm, one per LED, and the whole thing is in parallel. There are LED/resistor calculators online, you just input the values of your LED and your source voltage (9v in my case), and how many LEDs you want to use, and it comes up with the correct resistor values, plus a few options for wiring up. Such as:
http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz
It may seem daunting to some, but it is really easy once you start playing with it.
Of course, it's not for everybody, and certainly won't be a quick set up for larger displays... but otherwise, LEDs are cheaper, use less energy to get far more candlepower (for their size), come in a million colors and brightness values, and are just plain cool for lighting your monsters!
Sorry (again) if this derails the thread, maybe it should be moved somewhere else...? But ya DID ask me to tell you more, haha! Hope this is a fun idea for you.

I never tire of looking at this thread! One of these days I'll post a pic of our measly monster collection. Garou and I have some neat stuff but nowhere near as amazing and extensive as what I'm seeing here. I'd love to get some of the vintage items some day.
~Penny~
-
Wow! The things you learn around here! LEDs complete with wiring diagrams! Who needs school when your in the UMA! I love it! Thanks Mike for the small electronics tutorial. Great display BTW.
-
Alright...
I took some pictures last night of my updated Monster Room. Lots of stuff added and I opened a lot of my items. It really makes room for a lot more stuff to get rid of those bulky bubble cards! LOL
Also, I made the decision (inspired by some collections here) to mix up my monsters...grouped by type instead of by specific monster. It really looks great and there's SO much more to look at now.

Nice collection Prof!! The Aurora Model Kits are very well painted. I love see photos of the collectors :)

Wow, Prof. , It's looking GREAT in there.
-
Excellent, excellent... a colorful, exciting display!

Lookin' good !!!! ::)
-
Wow what a great collection! How long did it take you to amass that stuff??
-
More collections, please!!!!! Come on UMA members!!! Show your Monster room!!!
-
Nice collection Griffin! Thanks for sharing those pics. Eye candy if there ever was some.
-
Wow what a great collection! How long did it take you to amass that stuff??
How long?
Egads...it seems a lifetime. Much of it was from my childhood...but honestly, the BULK of my humble collection was aquired starting in 1987.
When my LOVE of MONSTERS flaired back into high gear. I just graduatued High School, had a steady girlfriend and an acting scholarship to a college! I was set.
What else was there to do but collect monsters?
-
Well, it really looks great, Prof. I see something new in there every time I re-visit the pics. I am digging that Wolfman mug, and what looks to be a Glenn Strange Frankenstein rubber stamp or something? And that square box Aurora Dracula is sweet!
-
Last week I cleaned so now I feel better about showing my monster apartment. My wife is great and a monster kid too so she lets me decorate most of the apartment, our bedroom and kitchen are off limits though. She does wish that I would stop adding to the collection as she wants to get a house and sings to me her song " You can't build a house out of action figures"...she's so amusing.

Greggory, your collection rules!!! very good displayed.
I have seen that you have all the 4 Ideal Mini Monsters and one extra more (Franky) in your Frankenstein section, with another different clothes :) GREAT!!!
I love your fornitures in black & red, is very cool.
Today I have received, finally "I vant to Bite your finger". Great game that we was talking about it in another post open for Dr.Terror a days ago. The game is very very funny :) I have seen in several collections here :)

Thanks for the kind words, I love your collection as well.
I bought my wife the Ideal Mini Monsters set for Christmas and the Frankie is hers from years ago and despite having the set she refuses to part with her original Frankie.
Congratulations on scoring the game and the FMOF poster.

Love the Famous Monsters Vincent Poster!

Count, Your masks are amazing! What is that green Glenn Strange Frankenstein mask? I love it!

Hi Greggory--NICE layout!
Couple of quick questions though--are your movie posters and lobbies all original (just curious), and even more specifically, been looking at securing different pieces for "The Creeping Flesh", and in the 2nd photo from your post of your digs, next to the door on the left hand side appears to be some small image (in red) from said film.
Can you please tell me what that is exactly? Is it from a pressbook or something maybe?
Your living situation is truly something to behold-well done!!

Only 7 pieces are repro's the rest are the real thing. The Creeping Flesh piece is something I colored in photoshop from the ad mat and printed out. I figured it would keep me happy until I finally got the poster, but alas it's always out of my reach.
-
WOW!
Those are some amazing collections!
Count...that is wonderful. Some real gems there....(I'm very envious of the 'Strange' Frankenstei masks....and of course...Kharis!)
That Frankenstein 'clown' mask...any stories behind that? Is that rare?
I ask, because there's a costume shop in Austin that has had that mask on sale for YEARS! I see it everytime I go in, and I just can't bring myself to buy it because it looks so...well...goofy.
But I HAVE considered buying it and giving it a proper paintjob.
It's an odd piece to be sure.
-
Gregory...
Amazing stuff...thanks for the post! There's just so much to see...my eyes can hardly take it all in.
That Phibes display...(the one with the dancing girl) is from the films's original release?
It's an astonishing display.
Mostly because it's a piece based on a old STAG film watched by one of the victim characters (Dr. Longstreet) before he is murdered by Phibes...(drained of blood).
It's an odd choice to make a display to promote the film from that image.
Still, a half naked dancer with a snake is bound to get attention...so..yeah, I guess I can see it.
Thanks

Fantastic pics all, everyone thank you so much for taking the time to allow a peek into your private sanctuaries - with only one good eye, I can't even begin to take it all in!!!
Finally .. I was able to shoot some pics of my monster room.
General, you have a most amazing collection (as do others here!!) - and thank you for posting them - but a shot of your full Mummy display case is nowhere to be found, just a portion of it off to the side in one pic, :'( obviously to torture, tantalize and tease those who prefer Kharis over Im Ho Tep...
Sacrilege! Sacrilege!!
Any chance of a photo redemption?!?

Prof,
That Franken-Clown is a vinyl mask made by a company called Cesar in the late 80's. So bad, it's good. ;D
-
Awesome stuff Count, Love your masks, can I come over and play? Lugosi repainted looks great, and I dig the puppets ;)
-
Thanks for the comments guys.
Andy the green Glenn Strange is a Savage Eye Frankenstein mask that I did a little makeover on...I've always dug the cover art with the green Glenn so I tried to emulate that as best I could.
Thanks Dr. T for the kudos on the repainted Lugosi - picked that one up from our very own Toyranch and repainted it to complete my full-on Lugosi ensemble for this past Halloween season.....

A couple of pics more of the new arrivals...
Grandpa & Herman Munster Masks (Mask Illusions, Made in Mexico), and Creature from the Black Lagoon Mask (Rubies Costume, Made in Mexico)...

I may not remember what you've shown me, but I will definitely remember to thank you for taking the time to post these... even with my lack of depth perception (it's the one eye, y'know?) I can see that's a case only a mummy could love... (how many bad puns can we work into a post anyway?)
If you don't mind, I have some questions if you have the time (I'll PM) - there's some treasure in there I've never laid an eye on!

Terry, Is that a Mummy bubble pen? Cool, I thought there was only Drac, and Frank looks like there was a mummy and probably a Wolfman too. Could you possibly get a close up shot of him, I'd like to see the head sculpt.

Indeed it is Jason. I will get a close up shot and post it here asap. Right now I have to go to the post office to mail HH his Mummy plaque. :D

Yeah, kinda wish i waited to collect Soaky's AFTER ebay came around. I completed my set by the early 90's when they sold for much more money on average. I even bought a Mr Magoo that was still full of the soap, just so i could take the cap off and smell it from time to time...GREAT memories. NICE COLLECTION, Congrats!

Yes, I love that toy because he has such a sad face and does a funny dance. He makes me laugh. And most of those battery toys stand still and move, but he moves around like the Marx Frankenstein, but even better. He is not rare or valuable, but still one of my favorites. :)

Is true!!! the face is very sad, but looks very funny with those strange clothes, and the purple colour. When I saw it I said... "This Frankenstein rules!!!!" And still I have not seen his dance!!! I hope buy battery soon for laugh :)

They're right. You have been busy. I see in this photo just above frankenstein's head the art for the movie MARK OF THE ASTRO-ZOMBIES. Our own Robert Taylor (typhooforme) plays 2 roles in that movie. He is the voice of Dr. DeMarco's severed haed and also an almost victim of the aleins.

Speaking if Tim Keegan (universalfan) I asked why he never posted his Monster room and he said because I had the pics...so here is his wonderful place.

Tim is a world travler and great guy. He was once pictured in FM as one of the winners of the STAR WARS DIORAMA contest...the lucky crap!
-
WOW :o
What a great collection, I'll have to come back later when I have more time...
-
Now that's a GREAT looking collection! Awesome, Tim!
-
Hey Tim, awesome room! Are those Gogos originals?
BK
-
I know Tim won't be back to the computer until Monday.
Those are not Gogos originals, they are repro painting from L. J. DOPP!
http://ljdopp.com/gallery/ljdopp (http://ljdopp.com/gallery/ljdopp)
His paintings are so much fun and his repro covers are out of this world.
-
Wow! Very nice work. I, too thought the Gogos were originals at first glance.
Mike

Those mini Colorform Aliens were made by Archie McPhee in the 90's. They made a lot of them so I'm sure there are still plenty around. A lot of people who have them don't know they are "Colorform Aliens" though, as they were not sold as such (copyrights and all). They don't have them anymore, but I saw some other cool stuff on their website to start a thread about :D

Speaking of Tim Keegan (universalfan)
Did you say "speaking of Tim Keegan"? Here's a shot of Timmy boy paying visit yesterday to Castle Famous! I'm in the middle and Paul Koloc is on the right. Tim's currently freezing his arse off here in Mpls as I type this post!
He enjoyed his visit here, and upon leaving Castle Famous he was frisked from head to toe. Had to make sure nothing was heading back to sunny LA without proper permission! :D
Read more about it here - http://www.universalmonsterarmy.com/forum/index.php?topic=1020.msg16634#new

Thanks for posting those pics Dan! (it's UniversalTim, btw!!)
I'm afraid after visiting Castle Famous last week and living in the shadow of Dr. Shocker's House of Horrors, my stuff looks pretty bland by comparison. But hey, it's all great fun to look at and I love living amongst the monsters!
I get a lot of enjoyment out of those FM cover paintings. Wish they were originals too!
If anyone's in or coming to L.A., you're always invited to drop by.

I finally got around to taking a few pics of our monster room. Wish I had a lot more 60s and 70s items, but there are a couple in there.

I'm also a big fan of the 90s Batman and Superman cartoons, so why not throw those in too?

Those cool posters are by our own George "Egor" Chastain by the way...

VERY nice collection Penny!
I love the display and the framed works!
HEY! Is that a Maxie Zeus and Firefly...Animated series-style? Are those customs? I don't ever recall seeing those before!!!!
(looking at my own sizable collection of Superman/Batman/Justice League animated figures...)
-Griffin
-
Thanks Griff! Yes indeed those are customs of Maxie Zeus and Firefly. A customizer Matt "Spyderwebz" made them for me several years ago.
Here's a closeup from awhile back -

Great stuff, Penny! Happy to see another Gogos fan; you have some beautiful prints there.
-
I think it would be safe to say that almost all of us are Gogos fans here. My wife was actually going to get me some prints from his site for Christmas but Microsoft came up with some kind of b/s warning about the site, so she didn't get any. She didn't tell me 'til afterwards......What!?!?? F Microsoft get me the prints!!!!! Anyways, another great collection, I really need to quit adding to mine and get my basement ready for the display.
-
Microsoft came up with some kind of b/s warning about the site
Seems like half the sites I visit (including my Yahoo email) IE says "Warning! This could be a scam!" I just ignore it.

Always a special treat to see your amazing collection, Larry. Thanks for posting the pics!!! It made my morning!
Andy

Great pictures and collection. Did you take Dr. Hill straight from Miskatonic University?
-
Is this Larry New we're talking about? The seasoned UMA member from the dark ages (YG)?
-
LOL.....Yes Terry my friend, this is Larry New from the dark ages. Been hanging around, here and there. Sadly some of my ultra high-end Universal pieces had to go on the auction block a few years ago when my wife lost her job. Hurt like heck to lose my AHI collection but in the end they are just toys and family comes first. Slowly building back up. Glad to be back amongst family here!
-
Great collection, and cool pics!
-
LOL.....Yes Terry my friend, this is Larry New from the dark ages.
Cool! Glad to have you back among the living dead Larry! We sent out a search and rescue team long ago.
BTW, as with most folks I'm sure, family does indeed come first in my world too. Salute!

Hey dare Penny. Very nice collection. Your ole pal. HH Wolf Man.

I'm not much of a toy collector or mask collector--I'm more of a "stuff" collector. Much of this has been seen in my flickr pics, where there are several pictures from the basement Dungeon, but here are 3 shots down the hall in my little Movie Room--my version of Ackermuseum type mixture of movie props, models, and various memorabilia.
Metropolis robotrix head and hand were Forry's--
(http://www.geocities.com/marcusfayne/movieroomaaa.jpg)
That KRAKATIT poster is from the old Ackermuseum--KONG and TARZAN posters are just repros. At very bottom right, lying flat, is a life mask of Willis O'Brien!
(http://www.geocities.com/marcusfayne/movieroomb.jpg)
Most of the stuff on the shelving at left is from the Ackermuseum, but the heads on top are familiar modern ones I picked up in recent years--
(http://www.geocities.com/marcusfayne/movieroomc.jpg)
-
and TARZAN posters are just repros.
Yay Tarzan! (And the Queen of the Leopard Women Acqaunetta) Very cool Robert, is your Movie Room for viewing movies as well as memorabilia?

Robert, I love that you have Hoops and Yo Yo on Chaney's lap!! Those are two of my favorite e card characters!!
Mike
-
My "movie room" is too small to view movies in--this is the house I grew up in, and (as has often been said by many before me) I was surprised at how small the house had become when I moved back here. The Movie Room is just part of the display area--I have another small room that is all Vincent Price, and then the basement Dungeon, which is about 3 times the size of each of the small upstairs rooms. All in all, still not a huge space.
Hoops & Yoyo are big movie fans, too, ya know! I just got from Cuz Sara (vpdogjoe) a talking Hoops & Yoyo on a sofa, and they give out with various wise remarks about pirate movies and popcorn. They crack me up.
-
All these collections definitely have an Ackermansion flavor to them, I have to say. I am more of a builder than a collector, myself, although I do have the odd thing...
-
You're very lucky Robert, to be living in the house you grew up in. This must make your connection to your monster kid past all the stronger being that you are in the same environment where you spent your formative years developing the passion you continue to nurture to this day. I live about 60 miles from where i grew up and occasionally take a drive in to haunt my old neighborhood. Nobody i know still lives there today and my old house has undergone so many extensions and changes [as have all the houses around it] that i wouldn't even want to go in... I started the Christmas '62 thread a while back on this site and every time i see that pic of a perfect Christmas morning i wish i could go back to that moment in time, if only long enough to feel the sun streaming in the big picture window on my face.
Wonderful collection you have there! Keep enjoying every minute of your monster past, present and future in the family homestead,
MG

WOW!!! Great new collections!!!
Knewby I have seen that you have action figure of the Carny Mutant of Funhouse!!!!!!! where you get it??? Another of Mr.Barlow!!! WOW, amazing!!!

That is a beautiful bathroom! I could sit in there all day long. Thanks for sharing your toilet with us!

Love that Creature bathroom!!! I tried to keep with a classic horror water themed bathroom as well. Great job!!
-
What does the plumber say when he has to unbung yer sink or your loo is on the Fritz?
"Meek"(Don't go in there!)
-
Drew, feel free to post your pics no collection is ever to big or to small to view.
Hellequin that's cool. Hope you don't have any Creatures swimming in the toilet...
What book are you reading?

Whatever book it is, it matches the rest of the room.

Is the plumber's name Duane the Bathtub?

Creature-themed bathroom! FANTASTIC! That goes on my list of projects! I'm currently rebuilding the fireplace surround.. wife shot down the idea of a dino fossil embedded in the hearth but agreed to subtle and friendly gargoyles on either side, and a removable fireback of skulls!
Has anyone installed or considered a secret entrance to their monster room? Hidden stairs behind the bookcase, secret button under the Shakespeare bust? Removable eyes in the portrait?

I've been considering a secret passage in my finalized monster basement, just gotta work out the mechanics of it.
Great looking bathroom, I've been wondering how I was going to tie in my monster theme to the basement bathroom......maybe a laboratory-lavatory?!?!?
-
No, no, no---it must be a candle in a sconce as in "Put za candle beck!"
"Meek"
-
Great Creature bathroom!
The shades of green paint for the walls is perfect - really sets off the decor!
Thanks for sharing.

Well, It's not really a Monster Room yet, just a couple Monster Cabinets. My collection is more like Ray's, in boxes. Someday I hope to build my ultimate monster room! You guys have given me some great ideas! Anyways, I thought I'd share what I have displayed!

Nice bunch of Creech kit, Brian! What's that Creature behind the plush one in the last pic?
-
WOW, great collection you've got going there !!
I see you have one of the Cheit Creatures ( Mike that's the one in the last pic you were asking about) and it looks like yours is doing the same thing my two did (I bought an extra that I'll sell someday), some of the plates are peeling upwards.
I also see that I'm not the only one who collects Marx Creatures in different colors. Looks like you have 12? I think I'm up to 14. I was doing the same thing with those large blow molded Mexican Creatures for awhile. Got up to 8 or 9.
In the second photo down on the second shelf what's that Creature to the right of the patch that has a little nameplate in front of it? Looks really cool.
Oh and I just noticed that you have the same Universal Studios Orlando Monsters Cafe pin that I have. Do you have any other stuff from there?
Keep the photos coming... ;D

Yes, that is my Chiet Pet... I talked with Adam and he told me to use a hot glue gun and glue them down. I'm just to lazy to do it.
Wow 14 different. What colors am I missing?
The only other things I have from Universal is a Creature Shirt and Hat. I wish I would have bought the nail polish, but I thought it was to girlish back then.
Nice bunch of Creech kit, Brian!
Thanks Mike!

Temblors are really hard to find, and there are 3 differents, I have get only 1, the green one, they are from the years 80's, and Defensors de la naturaleza are 3 differents too, and I have get the 3 :) are from early 90's. I hope received the last week :)
I have bought to 5 Baby Boglins inside their blisters, and several Madballs :)
Stupid toys that rules!!!! hehehehe :)

Those monochromatic Super Monstruos are really interesting. I guess you have to open the bag to find out which monster you have? And that Super Diabolics castle looks really cool. Does it do anything?

Yes those Super Monstruos are in surprise bags, is really cool open the bag and find the monster in different colours :)
The Super Diabolics Castle is similar to the Greyskull castle of the Masters of the Universe, when I return to my home in a days I will take more pics of the castle in back, because have several cool things. The Super Diabolics Airgam Boys are really cool too. They are the enemys of the Super Fantastics that are like superheroes fakes of Batman, Spiderman... There are one Super Diabolic that is like the Creature from the Black lagoon :) Take a look to this spanish forum for see pics of the Airgam Comics team: Super fantastics and Super Diabolics...

More sci-fi models and toys--the MARS ATTACKS head is a resin prototype from the making of the film--

As Always, it is a Pleasure to look at your collection. I will miss Talking with you at the bash this year. HHW

Glad you like the pics, and as to the conversation--you are very kind to say so, HH. I thought the same--when I saw you were not coming this year!
-
Robert,
T he photos of your collection are amazing !!!
I love the Ray Harryhausen figures,the Frank Dietz paintings and the pieces from Earth vs the
Flying Saucers and 20,000,000 miles to earth.Great job !

Here are photos of my room and my Vincent Price Hall of Fame. The vintage tv was rebuilt by Tom Mizikar and has new works so it can play dvds! About my Hall of Fame--I have 65 pressbooks in the hallway, all from films with Vincent Price! Insert and poster are purchased from Price expert/writer Lucy Chase Williams!

Yep, that's my cousin Sara! Fortunately she lives just up the road, so I can go visit and sit there and covet her collection any time i want. The pressbook wall is amazing--I never thought to see that many Vincent Price pressbooks in my life, and all in one place. They're wonderful. Keep up the good work, cuz! You know, gang, she didn't used to collecti movie memorabilia...but I gave her a wink and a nudge, and....I've created a MONSTER!
-
Wow! What an amazing collection! :o
-
Thank you, poseablemonster
Yep, Cuz Taylor did created a monster!!!!

Very nice. I love the Vincent Price parlor and the Mad Magican Insert in 3D of course. ;D HHW

Fantastic decor! An amazing collection of wall coverings that should be featured on HGTV. Interior design at it's finest! Salute to Cousin Sara!

Thats great, Sara! Wonderful collection and superb display!

OK, here are some pics of my bachelor pad. I am 28, so I do not have many older collectibles. Constructive criticism and donations are always welcome. ;)
Every house needs a suit of armor. Every house I've ever seen has armor (Munsters, Addams Family, Rob Zombie). Why...I don't know?
This is the library/living room with some close ups of the horror books:

Hey fryinpan1- I like your suit of armour alot. Great!
Looks very nice...usually you see those gaudy Mexico-made one piece tin suits, but yours appears very intricately made and realistic.
What exactly is it?
-
Nice clean, organized bachelor pad fryingpan.

Hey fryinpan1- I like your suit of armour alot. Great!
Looks very nice...usually you see those gaudy Mexico-made one piece tin suits, but yours appears very intricately made and realistic.
What exactly is it?
Thanks! It is full-scale authentic reproduction armor with aluminum plates. About 6 feet tall (27 1/2 x 15 3/4 x 71"h). That particular one is usually available on Ebay.
-
I love the suit of armour !
The framed Underworld posters and the Dracula office are great too !
I love it all, I vote we keep him !! What say ye all ?
-
Hey Fryinpan,
I see you have a print of Frazetta's unused piece he did for the "From Dusk 'Til Dawn" film, why they went with the other poster art is beyond me :-\
Where'd you snag that bad boy?
Thanks,
Tom

It is available at:
http://www.frazettaartgallery.com/gallery/HTML/prints5.html
Print No.147
Frazetta has created some great artwork. Another one of my favorites is the Wolfman.
-
Cool! Thanks!
It's been awhile since I've visited Frank's site, and I don't remember all of those prints being available the last time I was there.
Such an amazing body of work, and I'd agree his Wolfman piece is pretty tight!
To get back on topic, I am thoroughly floored and amazed by all of the Monster rooms folks have posted here.
Unfortunately, there's no green emoticons to show how envious I am! ;D
Thanks for sharing!
Tom

love it all!One of these days .I checked out Franks site and saw the Wolfman looking down on the guy in the woods.I got that mag somewhere,Creepy,Erie, one of those.I remember one that had Dracula and the wolfman fighting.Is that his work also?I'd love to have that one.You guys know what Iam talking about or I am I not remembering right.

Harry, you are correct, and he's licensed the image to a comic book company who is producing a one shot comic based on the painting, which is also the cover. Last I heard it is due out near Halloween.

Hey everyone
My Universal Classics collection is still in its early stages but I figured I'd share what I've got:
(http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c84/lblambert/Collection/Collection13.jpg)
(http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c84/lblambert/Collection/Collection14.jpg)
(http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c84/lblambert/Collection/Collection11.jpg)
(the old Topstone Frankenstein mask is my first ever piece, dating back to my childhood...have a lot of trick-or-treating memories with that mask)
(http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c84/lblambert/Collection/Collection08.jpg)
(http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c84/lblambert/Collection/Collection23.jpg)
(This is my most treasured item...these cufflinks belonged to Boris Karloff and were donated by Sara to a charity auction back in '95)
And some other items in my collection:

(not sure if Mrs Bates qualifies as a Universal Classic)
Thanks for looking;
Lee
-
Some great pieces Lee,
-
Wow! I can see why you treasure those cuff links! Awesome!
-
Very nice, Lee.
And many of us are into a lot more than Universal Classics, although they are near and dear to the hearts of most horror fans. That Mrs Bates is awesome. Who did it?
-
Thanks guys...I really appreciate the comments.
To answer your question Toy Ranch, the Mrs Bates was sculpted by David Lady and the greyscale finishing was done by Sam McCain.
-
Wow Lee, nice collection of photos and masks!
BK
-
Nice stuff! I really like the cufflinks.

Is that one of the Don Post reissue Frankenstein masks in the first picture of your collection? It's a nice looking one.

Very cool display, webelongdead!

Wow what an arrangement. I love it. HHW

Nice collection of board games!

Love that Outer Limits game [GREAT graphics!] AND the vintage glass skull Halloween jack-o-lantern! Congrats on your new place,
Mike
-
I love the Classics comics Frankenstein and the soakies and the board games and the Dracula
bust and the............................................everything!!!!!
-
Some great stuff there; Karloff board game, Monster-Nik Frankentroll, Phantom nodder...great collection! :o
-
Beautiful! Each time I've seen that Karloff board game on Ebay by itself, I never want to pay the going rate for it. Then I see it in someone's collection and kick myself for not getting it. It looks so good surrounded by other monster stuff.
What's the story with the Mortician's Powder? Now that's not something you see in every collection!
-
Thank you for the kind words everyone. While not the massive room-sized collection that some members have, I was always kinda forced to keep my goodies to a managable size, being a former apartment dweller and all.
Regarding NekroDave's question, I got this little ditty while attending a funeral home auction about 10-12 years ago. Seems they dumped all the old stuff and bought all new goodies. Shortly thereafter there was a rift in the ownership, bills weren't paid, and the whole place went down the tubes. I was down in the creepy basement w/ the owner (whom I befriended that afternoon) and literally tripped over this vintage tin. The old codger said "put it in your pocket kid, before the auctioneer tries to sell that too!"...so I did and it now proudly sits in my collection. Here's a better image.

Now THAT'S something not found in every collection !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So cool !

I NEED Mortician's Powder!!

Nice stuff KarloffSK.

A friend of mine is a mortician. Maybe I can ask her if she's got access to anything neat like that.. :)

Hi to all the people again!!!
I return with my new Monster toys!!!
I have get one of the most difficult Monster toys of Spain. This is the complete set in nice condition of "Las mil caras del Monstruo". Is from 1968-69, Airgam Toys. Actually this set is almost imposible to find, the most difficult of all the Airgam toys. This set in the small one, because there are another (imposible to find nowadays), with more stuff (a couple of masks, a claw and a skull with black hair).
(http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c129/Morkai666/Fotos%20nueva%20camara/LasmilcarasdelMonstruocompleto.jpg)
And here a pic of all the Airgam sets that I have together. Andy, one box of "Fantasmas a Gogo" is for you :-) You know :-)

I would NOT chew on that chocolate.

This isn't a display I have in my monster room, actually it's a pile of boxes in a cabinet in my monster room, but I finally dragged all my kid's Halloween costumes out and photo'd them. I've been picking them up inexpensively for years. I haven't focused on obtaining high grade pieces, just picking some up for fun. A few I've paid more for...
Anyway, here's a link to a slideshow of them.
http://flickr.com/photos/toyranch/sets/72157607064280847/show/with/2819626208/
This one is interesting. It's a witch, but it's called "Bride of Frankenstein."
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3092/2818778885_c8930e7a01.jpg)

Great costume collection ! I especially liked the Planet of the Apes costumes.A lot of memories
in that collection.
-
Bobby...
That Bride is whacked out. Looks like a pissed off Granny from the Hillbillies! Really cool costumes. I wore that Wolfman mask in 2nd grade- with my black "Sunday" suit coat and a chest made of rabbit fur. Freaked the kids out.
-
I suppose you'd be pissed off as well if you had a black cat clawing your head like that. Perhaps her eyesight was poor and instead of grabbing her veil she grabbed yon yowling feline and jammed it on her head.
What! No Rattles the Snakeman?
"Meek"
-
Geesh ::). I didn't notice it was a cat- I thought it was one of those 'granny' hats! No wonder she's worked up.
-
What! No Rattles the Snakeman?
Is this Rattles? I didn't catch his name, or perhaps he didn't say.

Bobby color me jealous I love those old costumes and masks, I just wish I could persuade my wife to...oops never mind!
-
Here is most of the monster items I own. Small potatoes compared to folks here, but love having it surround the computer area in our workroom. My main collection is classical music cds (and now returning to vinyl) and my wife and I dabble in Disney collectables. Lots of fun, but I need to get more "old school" items to put between the newer items. Neat thing is, almost all of my monster collection that I do have is gifts from friends. They know I like the stuff so they continue to pick me up pieces from time to time. Have to say that I enjoy looking at other folks stuff more than mine. Keep the pics coming folks.

A costume with it's own thought balloon! Priceless. That's why you gotta love that old stuff and the simplistic coolness. Hah! Freddy schmeddy.
-
Cool Bogey, that's a great looking display.
Paul, I love your masks. You got some awesome bizarreness there. What's that one with the big melting brain pouring out of it's head? ;D

Close but not quite right. Rattles the Snakeman's mask was one very large coiled up snake and very green in color as was the costume which had a big snake ready to strike across the chest. I got to wear my Brother's hand-me-down costumes. The other one was a Vampire Bat with the giant bat flying out of an erupting volcano printed across the front.
Talk about a bat outta Hell . . .

Great masks! Paul, I especially like the big Phantom in the upper right and the weird hag in the upper left.

I don't have a dedicated monster room --darn it. But there are a few shelves of my new studio devoted to some of my favorite creeps -- Creature form the Black Lagoon and Frankenstein -- and a fair number of other monster model kits on display. Otherwise it's mostly my comics room. Pics here: www.terrybeatty.blogspot.com
-
Wow! Awesome room terry. Is that the Aurora Penguin model I see?
-
Great room ,Terry ! Batman,Lon Chaney,Frankenstein's monster and the Fab Four plus
Sgt.Bilko !How could one Not be happy in this room ?
By the by,Terry I would love to see photos of the Phil Silvers sculpt when it's done.
-
Wow! Awesome room terry. Is that the Aurora Penguin model I see?
Thanks. Yup -- that's a build-up of an original Aurora Penguin. I lucked into TWO sealed copies at a good price from a flea market dealer some years ago. One box was half crushed, so I opened it (on-line with some fellow model maniacs, so they could share in the releasing of the vintage Aurora aroma), built the kit and shored up the inside of the box for display. Sold the other one to a Batman collector for the price I'd paid for the two of 'em (he was thrilled with the deal). Voila -- ultra rare Aurora kit for free.

The Bilko sculpt is slightly on hold while I take care of a batch of comic art commissions -- but I'm itching to get back to it.

Terry,
Great collection. On the shelf with the Lil Abner stuff--what's the figures next to the Talos? One looks like a centaur. Not sure about the others.

Great displays all.
Man, I LOVE those old masks and vinyl costumes...and those boxes!
I only have the Ben Cooper Mummy (Kharis) mask and costume in box. LOVE that blue box with the glow in the dark Monsters...AND a couple of Frankenstein faces from the same set. No box, no costumes...just the mask. They are colored differently, (one lighter and greenish yellow, and the other dark green.)
Thanks for sharing those everyone! Keep it up!

Terry,
Great collection. On the shelf with the Lil Abner stuff--what's the figures next to the Talos? One looks like a centaur. Not sure about the others.
Rob
The centaur (with female rider) is a garage kit sculpted by former Disney sculptor Jack Hood (produced by son Raven) -- brought home from an early Wonderfest. One of these days I might actually get around to painting the thing. "The Devil's Apprentice" is a garage kit as well. The female figure with upraised arm is "Cylena, Queen of the Night" -- it's a cold cast porcelain figure made by the long gone kit company, Screamin'. There's also a little Julius Caesar figure and a small scale copy of the Venus De Milo.

It's not actually in my monster room, but the gillman has taken up residence in my living room fish tank..

Rob
Is that pic taken at the rehearsals of Universal Studios' new singin', dancin' CREATURE musical? :P
-
Rob, wish you had shown us a photo closer to the surface of the water so we could see the tiny Julie Adams swimming up there above the Gill Man! This is very cool--it brings to mind other possibilities--tiny overturned cars in a tarantula cage, for instance, or a little workmen's "cage" with mini people in it, lowered halfway down in a tank with pet scorpions!

Good to have you back,Robert !

I am inspired by this thread to set up my own monster room (right now its basically a horror room), one important question!!!!
Where can I find that large stone backdrop that some of you guys have? It would be an awesome start to line my walls with it! Any help is MUCH appreciated!!

I also have win recently a Lon Chaney, London after Midnight's Mask, but still have not received and several Freddy Krueger items (including a yo-yo hehehe).
-
I love those Munster babies. One of these years, I need to get the baby Herman. Congrats!
-
That is some terrific artwork on those Tales from the Cryptkeeper cards. Just found out that they are from a company called Ace. I managed to win one on eBay just a few minutes ago for $4.99 mint on a perfect card. It's always worth dropping by the UMA.
-
I always mean to grab some on ebay - they're really cute.
-
They are cool looking Chris. Like I said, I managed to find just one. I would love a set. they look so good all lined up like Morkia has them. First I've heard of them too which is weird.
-
There was a whole carded set up on ebay UK a few months ago - I meant to bid, then forgot about the auction DOH! They went cheap in the end. They are cool little dudes.
-
I wish I would have seen that set. I just found another really nice card that I snatched up ( I know, I'm hopeless ) for $4.99 but by the time you add in shipping, at this rate the set is going to cost me $80.00. Hopefully a lot comes up. These are the two I won Chris. They look like really nice cards and with Halloween quickly approaching, it's perfect timing for these little guys.

Hi Robert, nice one! I was just looking on ebay US and all the figures seem to be there, but as you say the shipping starts to really add up!
-
Really, I only saw the two that I won. What are you searching under? Forget it, I see them. I put a space between Cryptkeeper. :P
-
Wow, those Munster Babies are great!

I love Tales from the Crypt Action figures, it cost me around 50 USD. The best is the glow in the dark green zombie :)

You're absolutely right, they look fantastic and I'm really glad that you took the time to post them. I sought out five of them last night ( three from the same seller to help save on shipping ) and I'm happy to say that Zombie is one of them. Your set looks great all grouped like that. My only wish is that the cards were individual to each character instead of generic across the board but still, the cards look spooky with the cryptkeeper ( love the ways his hands are posed), the dark lightening filled sky along with a castle in the background. You can't go wrong for 50 bucks.

Mostly yes, also Vampirella, Nightmare,Psycho, as well as movie mags such as FM, SM, CoF, and Monster Times. I mostly showed the collectable props and toys I know you others are interrested in. There's three bookcases not shown full of magazines and H.P.Lovecraft paperbacks. I grew up with Monster Movies since I was 3 or 4, but the printed words of Lovecraft generated chills for me like nothing else I've encountered. :o
-
Some great photos of your monsterabilia Creepy ! Thanks for sharing.

Here is a link to pictures from my Monster Room. There are some Universal items. I'm particularly proud of my Creature bust, signed by Ben and Julie. But you'll also see other things. If you dig Godzilla stuff... this room is probably more for you... but just thought I'd share!

Bob,
You'll find that ours tastes vary into many other categories around here. Might I say that is an incredible Ultraman collection. I have a Giant Robot and a small Ultraman flying in my monster room. OK, so they're only hanging by fishing string. How did you ever get autographs of the actors from the Science Patrol? That is what I'm catching glimses of, right?
Rob
P.S. Glad you officially joined.

Thanks!
A lot of the figures are from Bandai. There are a few Gameras in there, so not sure which one you are referring to.
I've been collecting the japanese stuff since I was about 10 (I'm *ahem* 48 now) so many years of amassing stuff.
I love the Mogera figure from The Mysterians. Bandai did that one about 10 years ago and I was surprised they did!

I've done some shows and other projects with Tsuburaya Productions, the company that makes Ultraman, so I've been lucky to get a lot of stuff from them.
The Science Patrol autographs is just one. I was lucky enough to meet Hiroko Sakurai, who played Fuji (the female member of the Science Patrol) and she signed the pictures. REALLY nice.
Hoping to go to Japan with a couple friends next year. Should be a blast!

Hi Morkai, it's worth emailing the sellers sometimes, as they will often make an exception with postage abroad.
-
The times that I have seen Mr Barlow, I never get it because the sellers said that they don't send to Spain.
I'm trying again write to Death Studios for buy the Mr Barlow's Blue mask, but this is my 4 time hehehe, perhaps this time I have good luck :) But I hope the same of always: "Sorry we not ship to Spain" :(
-
Wow! Emazers, is there any way you can post that bluish Barlow mask with a plain white background? I have uses for that! ;)
-
Is there a price range for these busts and masks, I would love the mask if anyone can point me in the right direction, thanks.
-
For those of us who are space challenged, there is a smaller one from Squidkits. I think its outta production. Paintwork by Jim Baldwin.

Sweet Room Tom! Where did you see Kurt Russell to get the Escape from New York Poster signed? Is the Monster Squad signed by the cast too?
BK
-
Tom,
I see some great posters,Forbidden Planet,Dracula and Monster Squad !
And those toys Rockem Sockem Robots,Alf ,Gort ,C3PO and R2D2 !
When can we come over and play at your house ?
Great stuff !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Yes The Monster Squad 1 sheet is signed by most of the cast and the director Fred Decker.
I got that one signed my self at Monster mania con a few years ago.
The Escape from NY I got off of EBay ,Russell signed it for a charity event ,I got the Adrienne Barbeau autograph myself at another con here in NJ.
Their are a lot of autographed pieces in this room..anyone see anymore ?
Sure if any of you are in the Old Bridge area of NJ LMK and we will set up a visit and a game :)

NICELY DONE! Tons of cool stuff and all very WELL LIT! Love the bluish green tint to everything! Gives it all a magical quality. Is the giant Jack Davis Franky poster an original? Also very reassuring to See the Zacherley poster on display... I saved my son's Iron Giant from destruction while he was still too young to care and i believe its the same one you have. I'll give it back to him some day when he's old enough to really appreciate it. Enjoy [like you need ME to tell you this] your room!
-
No the Davis Frank poster in not an original..I did have one though until I got married and my wife threw it out one day 25 years ago:(
I got this one from UMA member , actor ,and fellow collector extradinare Dan Robuck. Thanks once again Dan for getting this copy for me !
The room would not be complete with out our old Pal Zach in the room..He gave that mini poster to me years ago at Chiller. What a great guy !
I'm happy to see he is doing well and I look forward to his show on the 25 th !
Best..
Tom
-
Yes, and there's a chance he might be displaying a copy of his original 6 ft Famous Monsters Zacherley poster during his hosting duties. At least that is what he intended to do... Truth be known, Zach called me right after filming his insert bits for the upcoming special. He said they informed him upon arrival that his part would be less than originally anticipated and while Zach had prepared a whole slew of bits, [including running for president] he was instead handed a script of what they wanted him to do and over the course of 3 or 4 break ins he probably will only be seen about 5 minutes, all total. Our only hope is that the ratings are high and they want him back for a future broadcast of Chiller Theatre. I strongly urge all members who are able to view this special on the 25th to write the station's website and tell them to turn the show back over to Zach on a weekly basis with full blown skits by the Cool Ghoul and ONLY the Cool Ghoul!

Tom,
A bit more about the old radio, if you will. Also, nice little Haunted Mansion (Disney) lp down in the corner there. That one does not usually come cheap. (PS Are you an ELP fan?)

Great stuff on display! I especially like that vintage Jack Kirby black light Silver Surfer poster. I have the FF poster -- but no room to display it right now....

The old radio is not oid it is just a reproduction that I got a few years ago for Christmas. I think it looks cool though:)
The Haunted Mansion record.. I have owned that since I was 7 years old.
Same wife.. We are going on 29 years now. I have gotten used to her and it's too lte to trade in her for a newer model. :)

Tom,
Once again you have a wonderful collection and as with several other collectors here
(Robert Taylor,Dan Roebuck,etc.) each time I look at the photos,I see something different.
Where did you get the Groucho Marx doll ?
By the by,Tom,my wife and I are in our 29 th rear as well,so I know you made sure she was out
of the room before typing the trade her in for a newer model remark ! LOL !

Tom,
My dad and I were to see ELP back in '79 at the Montreal Forum. I got the flu so could not go, but he said it was an awesome show. Still kicking myself over this one.
The Haunted mansion record my wife had as a kid She listened to it over and over and over. A friend of ours tracked us down a copy. We are going to relisten to it as a family in the coming days leading up to Halloween on my recent purchase of a turntable. Ron Howard I believe was one of the voices on it. Yes?
I have an old radio and my dad enjoys restoing them, so they always catch my eye. It is an old Philco:
(http://www.philcoradio.com/gallery/images/1929/65l.jpg)
And FWIW, my wife and I just passed our 16th together.....and she has every right to trade me in at this point. ;)
-
Cool Radio ! I would love to get an original one that works !
The record does have a teen Ron Howard on it.
Groucho Marx ventriloquist doll was my wife's uncle.. When he passed away it came to live with me :)
While I was digging around looking for old photos I came across these old pics of my first Monster room when I was just a lad..

'Tis ashame.

I still most of the things I had in my old room.
The Doc poster was for the Batam Book paperback series not the Ely movie.
The movie was pretty bad but campy fun.. It was not a pilot for a TV series but the first of a movie franchise much like James Bond. It a shame they did not do a better movie.
I was talking to Micheal " Batman movies producer "Ursan around last Christmas time and he told me that he is developing a new Doc movie "modernised of course :(" and a new Shadow movie.
I hope they do a Good job.

Sam Rami (Spiderman) was slated for The Shadow. Do not know if he is still.
-
He still is as far as I know.. Urslan told me Rami was a major Shadow fan and wanted to do it right. In the classic period and all. Rami is the one pushing for it to get done.
I don't know I kinda like the Alic Baldwin version myself.
Best..

Rami has a film called Drag Me to Hell coming out soon....at least that was the working title. Not sure when it will be released. From what I understand, he was getting back to his roots.

It's not my monster room, but my Dr. Shocker mask from my room got drafted into my wife's front window Halloween display. Sorry for the bad image, there was condensation on the glass.

I have those board games. but the ones I have are called Nightmare. A few years ago they re-released it on DVD and then I was called Atmosfear. Strange, I wonder why?

This is because I'm from Spain, and those are spanish editions, here arrived with the name "Atmosfear" and In USA and other countries "Nightmare".

I spotted a couple of Third Eye posters in there. I used to have a couple of the psychedelic ones they did before the Marvel stuff. Alas, long gone...

Very Cool Morkai!

I like those bagged rubber monster masks. Thanks for sharing!
-
I second that! Thanks for sharing. I enjoy looking at group pics like these. It's fun trying to correctly identify each item.

This is my Favorite Thread. Just went through and looked at everyone's rooms again. I love em. I am bringing this back to the top, So that some of our new members, can post pictures of their monster rooms. :) HHW
-
Great idea Howard. I love looking at collections of any kind, but especially monster ones. It's always interesting to see what else creeps in with them.

Great Creature collection, Adam! Including your own contributions to Creech collecting.

Nice collection Adam! Wow, a Penn-Plax in the box! Love all the Creech stuff! I see some of your work in there too! Where did you get the big Topps Creature card and what is that hanging on the left hand side of it that is green?

-
Great collections!
I am so impressed!
I'm also amazed by the head statues and the mask. What incredible work! Adam, your work table - are you a professional artist? Or is that your hobby/monster table? I have a table like that here, too. Only instead of cleaning it up I just put project after project on top. I finish the projects, but I never clean up afterwards.
-
thanks so much! i am a professional lol. the pic with the blue monster models are just some of my sculpts,
-
For some strange reason, I have a feeling that you're a big fan of the ol' Gillman. Awesome stuff, all around... and to Scatter, I hear you man. I'm gonna go look at my stuff in their plastic tubs, now.

Hey, I'm a SPECIALIST! I'm gonna go wake up my wife and tell her!

Oh, are headed out to Albequrackie?

Are those Creature push-puppets I see? Wow! If so, I never knew they existed.
-
Terrific picture! I love the way you've got them displayed, especially the lighting. Helps to set that spooky mood.
-
I spy, with my little eye....Pepsiman Creature! Super nice collection

You have a plastic TUB?!?!?!!! Now I REALLY feel bad.

Scatter, you're killin' me, LOL!

I am soooooooooooooooo jealous!!!!

Dont you mean that you are creature green with envy!!! Thats about the Amazonian scale of it (ouch).

I don't have a set-up monster "museum" yet because I'm adding another room. So what I have now is a BIG mess. Actually, items are packed away to be displayed later -I hope I live long enough to finish this ;D
I don't collect masks in general because I find them too fragile. They seem to break down over time and I know little of preservation. However, my favorite monster, hands down, is the Glen Strange Frankenstein monster. So I made an exception to mask collecting and have been trying to aquire Don Post G.S. examples. Here in the pic (excuse the mess) is a '63 Don Post pull (haired and painted), the '63 hands, and my latest addition...a 60s calendar mask pull, haired and painted. (I hung the 1966 calendar mask image next to it to compare). Eventually, these items will display with my '99 calendar issue. All Glenn Strange. :)
Enjoy,
Richard

Great collection, KreatureKid!
And Richard, if you're gonna narrow it down to one character... you picked what I think is the best one too. That mask and hands are just amazing!
-
Great masks, Richard, but I also like that especially crisp-looking Monsterizer box. The Penn Plax Creature box looks pretty minty, too. Heck, everything in that photo looks sweet.

Great stuff Richard!! I'm looking forward to you getting that room done and posting your monster collection in all its glory.
Question..........why Glenn Strange rather than one of the other Frankie incarnations?? I'm always interested in why folks gravitate to a certain monster or monster actor.
-
Beautiful masks, Richard. Glenn is my fave, too. I love the finish work on your calendar mask - do you know who painted and haired it?
-
GREAT collection, Richard! Yes, i agree Karloff was King, but Glen Strange is more the iconic image us old school monster kids relate to best. I also did a similar display using an old gutted out TV like you. I recently inserted a little 12" TV inside of it, so when you turn off all the lights, it's kinda like having the original old set back in operation... Keep up the "Strange" work!
-
Nice collection Richard! Same here on the delay of the monster room. Have not had time or money to build shelves.
Also, I think you need to send that Penn-Plax Creature my way, it looks out of place in your collection! :D
BK

Beautiful masks Richard.

That Creature collection is amazing! I love concentrated collections that focus on one thing. Especially this one!
-Andy

Well, it's been just over a year since my first batch, so here's an update on how it's progressed. You can see I've added a 3rd row of shelves to the wall and replaced the jumbos that used to be on top of the case with more monsters. Recently decided to display the jumbo kaiju so as to provide a bit of a segue into the monster stuff. I think it works pretty good. Still, not too many super rare things and still mostly newer stuff, but I think the overall effect is more impressive than it was last year.
I think the biggest thing for me this year was getting my posters framed finally. That had been a long time coming.

Very impressive collection,Dave.Love those posters !!!!
-
Beautiful masks, Richard. Glenn is my fave, too. I love the finish work on your calendar mask - do you know who painted and haired it?
Thanks all, for the kind words! :) :) :)
Andy, I believe previous owners said David & Laura Lady on both masks.

I also did a similar display using an old gutted out TV like you. I recently inserted a little 12" TV inside of it, so when you turn off all the lights, it's kinda like having the original old set back in operation... Keep up the "Strange" work!
The Glenn Strange image was all over the monster toys of the 60s, both directly and indirectly. The Hasbro notebook/paint-by-number artwork, the Famous Monsters Speak LP artwork, and Mani-yak iron-on artwork made me a big fan of the Strange Monster. Also, the first Frankenstein Monster on film that I saw was not on television but on a Castle Film 8mm (A&C meet Frankenstein) so the Strange image stuck with me and remains my favorite (as does "A&C meet Frankenstein").
About the TV cabinet~ I picked up 4 old B&W burned-out TV sets from the basement of an old movie theater that had been used by a TV repair shop in the 60s. I gutted them and put rollers on the bottom and intend to use them as storage/moving "tables" for setting up displays around the monster room(s).
Also, I think you need to send that Penn-Plax Creature my way, it looks out of place in your collection! :D
BK
Hah!~I'll send it right out! ;)
Nah, I waited so long to find a good example. At least 15 years ago, I passed on a used one (broken fingernails, paint loss, no box, etc) at an antique store thinking I could easily find a much better one. Boy, was I wrong. It's hard to find a fine example let alone an unused boxed one. This was a lucky find and I doubt I'd ever find a replacement as nice as this one. Gotta keep him.
Here are more pictures of the masks (one with camera flash). It shows the calendar mask a bit better.
Best,
Richard

After nearly 2 years.......here is the current state of my monster basement. When I began this project it was a completely unfinished basement.
Going to the right at the bottom of the stairs will lead you into the movie area. Movie posters, modern horror and probably dvds (on the built in shelf area) will make up the monsterdom in this room and eventually a flat panel on the wall.
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh10/zombiehorror01/Basement/DSCF1238.jpg)
This view is looking back across the movie area from underneath the Frank clock. Not sure what I'm going to do with any of these built in shelf areas.
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh10/zombiehorror01/Basement/DSCF1239.jpg)
This is what you see when you're at the bottom of the stairs.
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh10/zombiehorror01/Basement/DSCF1240.jpg)
And here's looking to the left at the bottom of the stairs. One of these recessed areas will hold a comic, book & magazine area.
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh10/zombiehorror01/Basement/DSCF1241.jpg)
Cranking your head even farther left at the bottom of the stairs you see the door to the only completely finished (ok I still have some touch ups to do) room in the basement. The recessed area behind the fridge will probably be the home of my Sideshow 12"s.
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh10/zombiehorror01/Basement/DSCF1242.jpg)
Looking back up the stairs. The small hallway will be a glow display for all things that require a little UV magic of course.
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh10/zombiehorror01/Basement/DSCF1243.jpg)
Here is the actual current state of my monsters..........
Luminators, various posters, comics, pepsi promo displays, etc, etc.
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh10/zombiehorror01/Basement/DSCF1244.jpg)
4 shelves loaded with monstrous goodness plus the old outdated VHS collection.
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh10/zombiehorror01/Basement/DSCF1245.jpg)
Some Auroras stuck in the corner.....Please don't ask why Grandpa isn't wearing pants, I don't want to go there.
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh10/zombiehorror01/Basement/DSCF1246.jpg)
Close up of my cheap ass Frankenstein clock, this was a clock my Laborer's Union gave me for Christmas year before last but the "Local 660" logo just didn't fit so I gave it a face-lift. He demands that I go back to mudding & taping now, or else......
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh10/zombiehorror01/Basement/DSCF1247.jpg)
I've been getting a little more time to work on my basement with being laid off but I'm also watching my daughters 3 days a week (not including weekends). That's soon to be 4 days to save a little more money so I really only get a couple of hours during their nap time to work down there during the weekdays. Hopefully very soon (a few months) I'll be posting some updated pictures of actual finished displays!
Oh well hopefully you've enjoyed looking at clutter, wall board, mud, corner beading, etc.
-
My friend, that room is my DREAM!! A finished basement/movie/football/reading room!! Unfortunately, I live in freaking Florida, where a basement would require a pump the size of the ones on the Queen Mary to keep out the water.
Keep us posted, I'd love to see how it turns out.
-
Hey Gakenstein, sorry for the late reply. I didn't notice you question until just now. Just haven't been around too much lately...
Anyway, that's the Spanish "Franki" game. It's pretty cool. There are little holes all around the head and players take turns putting these little pieces of plastic into them until someone hits the wrong spot. If I remember right, it then makes a sound and the top of the head pops off or something like that. It's pretty cool. I liked it from the moment I saw it, when Morkai posted some of his pics, so I was glad to get one on Ebay.

Still a complete mess.

Nice setup you have there Dr Terror.

WOW, Jason! GREAT looking room.
-
Awesome set up, Dr. Terror. It must have taken a long time to get it looking that good!
-
Super sweet mask collection Dr.Terror. Did I see a Cyclops from Seventh Voyage of Sinbad there? Never even knew one existed. Great monster room.
-
Man, those are some GREAT looking rooms. Can't wait to see the almost finished one finished!
-
Great looking Monster Rooms! One day when we have a basement, I'll be able to display my collection the way I want to. Right now its in a little corner, mostly in a couple boxes next to my comics. I do have some posters/lobby cards up, but we live in a 2 bedroom townhouse so space is limited at best.
Keep posting pics!
-
amazing collections and some awesome displays! someday (i.e., never) my wife (i.e., the spouse creature) will hopefully let me (read: realize i'm going unsane and gives me some free time) construct some curio cabinets in the shape of a coffin. then stock it. until then....
-
hm, just noticed there's no edit button apparent.
anyway, anyone care to share how long and how much they spent collecting and/or constructing their rooms? (sorry if it's been asked and if it's in bad form, not my intention, i'm just curious. no, i didn't read 630 posts. :))
some people see hunks of plastic and just don't get it, while i'm envious.

I recently took some new updated pics and thought I'd share. My collection goes from the classic to the modern era and also includes some independent artist pieces. I've got several new ones on the way but here it my collection as it is now. I also have a lot of posters, autographs, etc that I don't have out on display due to lack of room.
Thanks for looking;

I like the way the Frankensteins "swoop up" with the lettering on the poster; very nice display.
-
Great looking Displays there #lambert and DL. #lambert, is that a Mike Bennett Frankie and Bride?
BK
-
Man, pics like that really make me want to start buying masks. I agree, that Brain that Wouldn't Die is fantastic. The teeth look a bit odd to me for some reason, but it's just such a great idea. Is that one of the custom pieces you mentioned?
-
I'm really diggin' that Victor Pascow bust, or mask, or whatever it is. Anything Pet Semetary creeps me out, and that's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it.
-Andy
-
Man that is an awesome collection of mask and busts! Not enough room is the worst enemy of all. Are some of the older masks made out of material that will break down over time? That's always one reason I do not collect some older items made of rubber material.
I also like the way the Frankenstein logo swoops up. It makes it great, that way you can stagger your franks by height. :)
-

Don't mean to answer on Lambert's behalf, but yes, that's one of my paintings. Just to clarify I did not do the drawing of Frankie and the Bride grinding! ;D

Don't mean to answer on Lambert's behalf, but yes, that's one of my paintings. Just to clarify I did not do the drawing of Frankie and the Bride grinding! ;D
Mike
I thought that looked familiar, you must have posted it at one time and yes I was not talking about the grinding art... lol

I am floored by your great monster room! I especially love the Ted Danson/Gaylen Ross Creepshow 'Tide You Over' zombie masks, and was very pleasantly surprised to see the two masks from Bava's 'Demons'. That Metropol invite is a really nice touch!
Excellent collection!

Thanks for all the comments!! My collection is my pride & joy.

hehe Yes Mike did the Frank & Bride painting currently above the Hammer pieces...the other one is a Coop print.
I'm really diggin' that Victor Pascow bust, or mask, or whatever it is. Anything Pet Semetary creeps me out, and that's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it.

That's one of my favorites too. That one came about when a group of 8 collectors chipped in and commissioned it. I missed out on it but got lucky when one of the 8 had to sell his.
Man, pics like that really make me want to start buying masks. I agree, that Brain that Wouldn't Die is fantastic. The teeth look a bit odd to me for some reason, but it's just such a great idea. Is that one of the custom pieces you mentioned?
Carol Hicks sculpted that one and I designed and built the lab apparatus for it. Working on that was how I discovered just how many obscenities I could fit into a single sentence!
Man that is an awesome collection of mask and busts! Not enough room is the worst enemy of all. Are some of the older masks made out of material that will break down over time? That's always one reason I do not collect some older items made of rubber material.
Yes the older latex masks may start to break down over time. I keep my collection in a room with very little natural light and none of it is ever in direct sunlight. Plus I live in a very dry climate which helps as well.

I got pics of the monster cafe on Facebook...That is my whole monster room...HAHA...
-
Well I'm getting somewhere in my basement, kind of....still a lot of sanding to go....The quest bedroom was quite unusable in its previous state of chaos so I started to organize. This was going to be my room of Universal Monster store/promo items but I've discovered the displays all but swallow up the room so I'll have to go back to the drawing board.
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh10/zombiehorror01/DSCF1448.jpg)
Don't really like the Bride hanging over the wall edge like that but the only other option was behind the door and now of course this will just be temporary to get this (and the other displays) off the floor and out of the garbage bags that they were previously stored in.
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh10/zombiehorror01/DSCF1449.jpg)
This is the one that really made me realize that this ain't gonna happen in this 10x10 room. You can see in the previous picture that this sticks out from the wall a good 2 foot. The only other space I have to display this is the wall that will eventually have a flat screen on it so I'm going to have to put some thought into the displaying of this (or the purchase of the flat panel?).
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh10/zombiehorror01/DSCF1447.jpg)
For whatever reason my wife got really hip on the idea of getting the bathroom done so we got the vanity and toilet. The past few weeks I've been messing with plumbing, insulation, more drywall, tape/mud, etc., etc. Here's a peek at the border that I've proposed to the wife.....needless to say she's less than enthused with the idea (unfortunately for her, she gave me the final say in all things concerning the basement). Not only does she not dig the pictures but she hesitates using wallpaper paste for the application as we've had experience dealing with removing old wallpaper, not fun by any means.
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh10/zombiehorror01/DSCF1450.jpg)
I don't know what it was about the vanity but once I started looking at it I got a 60's vibe so that's where I'm aiming with the decorating/display in there.
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh10/zombiehorror01/DSCF1451.jpg)
-
Hey, I love the border, no matter what your wife says. Just don't tell her I said that... lol
BK
-
LOVE that ceiling border...wish they sold it at Wal Mart! I am VERY lucky in that my wife pretty much gives me free reign in displaying my monster collectibles around the house... keep up the good work! I think it looks FANTASTIC! If a man can't be in charge of decorating his subterranean lair what ARE things comIng to?

Sorry for the broken photo posts. I was trying to post a photo from my collection from using photobucket but I guess I just don't know what I'm doing. :-[
Just how do you post a photo on the board using photobucket?
Thanks,

One more sneak peek at my bathroom the next pictures posted (Whenever that may be!) will be the finished bathroom. Until then....

Interestingly enough my wife did not put up one bit of fight over the shower curtain, she even help me iron.

The above image is from Photobuckethttp://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh10/zombiehorror01/DSCF1454.jpg all you have to do is put [ IMG]http://in front of the url and[ /img] behind it. Using the picture icon above will save the step of typing the [ IMG][ /IMG] and you just have to paste/type the url between the two brackets. Also you can just cut and paste directly from Photobucket were it says IMG Code in the pop up below your picture. Hope that helps.

That is one awesome shower curtain!

LOL... I love it.. Ray your sense of humor is grand.. I'm really looking forward to seeing you at one of the conventions in 2010...) All these monster rooms are great!!! I love seeing them.
Don... the real life monsters seem a bit fake to me....maybe it's the lighting..LOL... Awesome room sir!

Thanks, guys. Anytime you are ever in the good 'ole midwest/St. Louis area, drop me a line and pay a visit.
Here's a few close-ups of the AHI and Lincoln monsters cases for you, gracebuster. I've tried to collect an example of each variation/style of monster. Still have a few to go:

Great rooms, everyone. And Don, way to go with those dinner guests. Good job.

Yeah, thats my buddy Bobby, and every time I put up the pic, people ask about him.
He's just a smartass

lappys22 , those are fantastic shots. My monster collecting knowledge is growing, but still not where it should be, but I'm pretty sure everything there is 100% awesome. Judging just by those shots, it seems like you resist the urge to buy filler, or "toy crack". That's really hard to do, but the payoff can be pretty rewarding.
Don, fantastic modern horror collection. It cracks me up that your big Sadako is carrying a knife though! J-horror has long since lost it's appeal for me, but I remember when I first saw the Ring on a Malaysian vcd many years ago and it scared the daylights outta me. To this day, I'm not sure I'd want that thing standing in my house. And of course, that's awesome that you got those guys to come over for dinner. Chalk that one up to "you don't know if you don't ask", I guess. Good work..

Its not Sadako, it was called "Donna the Dead" has a knife and a severed head, but it is very "Ring-Esq looking"

Sure.

Wow, Don that Modern Monster Room is off the charts!
SO cool.

The new camera takes MUCH better low lighting pictures. So here's a shot of my room lighted only by the Universal Monster string lights.

I particularly like this shot of the Motion-ettes for some reason.

I should take more later with other things lit up, but I'm still just playing around with it. :)

Thanks for the nice words, guys. The monster lights were something I never thought of until someone gave me some as a gift and once I had them, it suddenly seemed so obvious. I love just sitting and chilling in there. ;D
-
Your room is very pleasing on the eyes too, it looks comfortable. Did it take long to string the lights?
-
Not at all. The shelves are just planks of wood so just tacked them up to the edges. Easy as pie. I just gotta get some more C batteries for those cheap blow molded flashlights I got awhile back. I've also got the Frankenstein head from last year and the Dracula lawn ornament, but I think that makes too much light and sort of defeats the purpose. Monster rooms should be dimly lit....like a castle. ;)

I agree, the darker the better. Well if the lighting wasn't too time consuming, then right on. Looks great. I need to find a way to light my Monster room. But, i'm drawing a blank. I don't want my room to be bright, or overlit. I think too much light can age a collection? Buy the way, castle could be a cool new name for a Monster rooms. You may have stumbled on to something, like collectible castle or Monster Castle. Lol.

Mike, when Christmas rolls around, they sell lights that resemble the runway lighting used to line the aisles in theaters so you don't fall on your arse when returning to your seat for popcorn. Ever notice them?? Long clear plastic tubes with tiny bulbs every couple of inches.
I picked up some in RED.........and they can easily be tacked under shelving, following any curve or bump because the tube can bend any which way, and give a nice, subdued, eerie glow that lightly illuminates. I've seen them in green as well (which would also look great for the eerie purposes in question) and they can be made as long as you like because they simply hook to each other, allowing you to make it as long as needed, and end in a wall plug.
I got mine at WalMart...........I think a box included 3 tubes at 3' each (I'm guessing........don't have the boxes handy). Here is an idea what they look like.......

Lighting is everything.
As much as I enjoy all of the monster room shots from UMA members, many of them are lacking proper ambiance due to the use of flash. Use a tripod or sit your camera on a shelf or something. Flash sucks the life out of most photos, IMHO!

I am amazed and intrigiued, Rob congrats on a room that has me salivating!!
2 questions..on your Dracula shelf I see something that looks almost blow molded. The silver with red eyes Drac...looks farmilar but unsure. Care to shed a little.."light" on that Dracula if you will?
Also I noticed some Marvel Legend action figures that looked somewhat recent...just curious, are you still collecting them? I have a ton but theyre dated 4-5 yrs old..the newer waves werent really doing it for me.
Great stuff!!!

Glad you enjoyed the pics. The silver Dracula head is the head of the flashlight from the set that was recently discussed around here. I popped the flashlight base off and put just the head on display. There are some of the Marvel Legend figures around the place as well as some of the DC counterparts. I'd like more of the various superhero ones, but there are just so many that it gets to be cost prohibitive. Sometimes if I find something on clearance or such, I'll pick it up. The great thing about the flying superheroes is that they can be suspended from the ceiling with fishing line thereby keeping the valuable shelf space clear for other stuff.

Hhwolfman, on page 1, in your first reply, second pic, there is a box labeled "Super Monsters" directly below the Green Ghost game. Can you tell me what that is, and do you have a better pic of it? It's sorta ringing a bell, but not a complete memory.

Hey all.....
My "monster room" is not all monsters, but it does have some cool pieces inside. In this room my family/ friends watch movies and basically have a good time. The movie/ rock memorabilia you see are 100% authentic. There are a few replicas/ original casts in the room which are listed below:
1. Don Post Creature mask
2. Original 1st generation casts of Chapmans land creature feet
3. Original 1st generation cast of the Wolfmans cane handle.
4. Original 1st generation cast of Fossil Creature Hand #1
All other items are the real deal. Hope everyone enjoy's the photos, and sorry for the cruddy pics, but I was in a hurry when I shot them!

Hang on a second. Forgive me for going off the topic of monters, but please tell me the story of your Rocky shorts and how you got them, if thats an authentic movie prop, I'd have to call it the most impressive collectible I have seen on here ever. Maybe anywhere. (would those be from Rocky 2? Or 3?) Wow.

First, thanks for all the compliments everyone I appreciate when other collectors like what I have done. Next, yes these are shorts from Rocky III. They were obtained by me from Planet Hollywood, Los Angeles when the restaurants started auctioning their material as they went under. The tags with Stallones info, and measurements from Western Costumes is still attached, and several areas of "blood" staining from the fight scene. These shorts were used as a preproduction fitting pair. They were also used by Sly while filming all facial closeups for the fight with Clubber Lang. These shorts are a little looser fit than the various pairs used for long shots which were butt tight on Sly and had narrower stripes running down the front and sides. In all the production used 5 different variations of shorts for good ol' Rocky Balboa. Sly was also kind enough to write me a letter authenticating the shorts stating that they were once part of his personal collection before donating them to the company/ restaurant.
-
Yes they are.
To Quote young Indy " They belong in a museum!" lol
amazing collection!

This always one of my favorite UMA activities. It's neat to see what our collections have in common and how they are different.

Impressive room, very prolific...yes I would say that is the best adj. to describe your collection. Buy the way, what is the tan suit in the corner? I must have miss the description of the item.

Thanks very much! The suit in the corner is a Russian Soldier costume worn by stuntman Rob Mars in "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

VERY cool stuff and displayed so well!

Larry............. Can we all just come over, hang out at your place and order pizzas?
Dude. Serious stuff you have there. My buddy would sob if he saw your Dr. Loomis (and he wouldn't shut up from doing HIS Dr. Loomis impersonation).
Thanks for sharing. I love seeing everybody's cool stuff.
-
Oh my god, that David - Lost Boys head.. SOOOOO awesome next to your Dracula's! I'll agree with Sean. I'd just like to have some pizza and stare at that thing all day.
-
Larry,
That's insane (but I mean it in a good way). So we're all agreed, we're stopping by for pizza. What night and where are we going?
Rob

Larry You truly have a amazing room.
-
Awesome room Larry, love those lifesize figures!
BK

WOW!!! I mean WOW!!!! I've always admired your stuff when I saw the pics at the HMA, but...I am speechless. Truly love the collection amd the randomness of it. Really awe inspiring!
Sal
-
Holy crap! What a great collection you have there my friend! Truly some great stuff here!
-
An amazing room and collection indeed! Great stuff and thanks for sharing....man...I gotta put in for some O.T.!!
-
Larry....very impressive collection! Is that aquatic looking creature from the move, The Abyss? It is very beautiful. What is it made of....to give it that irridescent glow?
Great thread! I love all of these monster rooms!
-
Larry I am cowed by the awesomeness of the top of the line Quality of all of the pieces in that collection.
WOW!!
-
Thanks guys.
Glad you like the displays.
My doors are always open to visitors.

Larry, the problem IS NOT getting us there...
It's getting rid of us.
Thats the problem.
-
Really neat how many of you open your doors for us to see your collections....really neat.
-
So then, it's a 'go'....?
Now, Larry----is there a good pizzeria that delivers by you... or should a couple of us guys and gals pick up a few pies to bring over?
-
Hi Larry!!!
I already saw your Monster collection before, not remind where, but I had your pics saved in My Hard disk hehehe. Your collection is totally GREAT!!! the werewolf is totally cool!!! and also your Mr. Barlow's busts. Must be too must expensive!!! because you have real size Monsters!!! :o
-
Remarkable collection! I love pics like this -- 'cause I can show 'em to my wife and say, "See honey, I really don't have that much stuff...."
-
The ALIEN and Terminator "stuff" is amazing. WOW!!!!
-
Hey Larry, where you located? I would love to see this stuff in person.
BK
-
I would classify your collection as "museum quality" but that would be an insult. NO museum has a display of higher quality pieces than you, Larry. NONE!
-
Thanks again!
I'm in Orange County,New York.
Less than an hour from N.Y.C.
Plenty of good pizza joints and an amazing Italian Deli!

I think I saw your piece from "The Thing" at the Monsterpalooza this year. (Unless someone else did that piece too). I remember because I really love that movie. In my opinon, it was the scariest movie for me to watch as a kid. excellent!
-
That was a different "Thing bust".
Mine was a private commission made by Steve Wang.
Larry
-
And that's how all good collections begin - small. Never mind the space issues or even the money concerns, if the love is there .. it'll find a way. I know that sounds corny, but it's true. And whatever you do, don't fall victim to the comparison game. It doesn't matter who has what. All that matters is your personal enjoyment of the crap you do own and not obsessing over stuff that you don't. This is the secret to building a long and prosperous monster collection.
That's a great philosophy and a great way to approach collecting, especially for us beginers.

Great stuff Dan!!! Was that Groovie Goolies figures I seen in front of the Universal Monsters lunchbox? Where did you find those? I seen a Gregory the Vampire Bat also, I had one of those as a kid and loved it!
-
Thanks Creeper.
Those Groovie Goolies have been in the collection for years. Kind of remember getting some form TOYSHOP others from shows.
-
Daniel,
Thanks so much for sharing that stuff. INCREDIBLE collection. I feel like I owe you admission or at least the price of a Famous Monsters magazine just for getting to look at that.
The Phantom of Paradise piece and the Ernest Borgnine piece from Devil's Rain (as well as the Planet of the Apes stuff) were standouts for me.
God bless you for commiting to the hobby like that. SO fun to see that stuff.

Does not matter. This is a virtual tour that is worth taking every couple weeks daily. I hope your memory concerning these photos continues to fail you and you continue to post them....for our benefit. ;D Thanks for the post and complete coolness!

What he said. Please, Daniel... looking at these pics is like picking up a favorite book/ monster mag. You could do it daily. I remember a lot of that stuff as a kid from the old Famous Monsters issues and to me, it's nostaligic. It's very warm for me to look at those pics. Thanks again and keep 'em coming.
-
Thank you Dan for the tour!! It's like going in Lowes or Home Depot,I could stay and look for Hours.The mrs and myself are planning a trip out there to Monsterpalooza in April and would love ,she and I to visit it.Thanks.
-
Dan, your collection always amazes me.
Any chance I can get a tour when I'm out that way in January? Please!
-Andy
-
OMG, PLEASE come visit us!
ANyone form the UMA is always welcome here.
Harry H. We will certainly have a gathering during Monsterpooloza and Andy PM me an we'll make sure you get here.
Generally it's best for anyone coming this way to give me a weeks notice or so.
I look forward to sharing it in person with all of my friends here.
-
WOW! I mean WOW! What a collection. It's displayed so well and I could look at those pictures over and over many times (and definitely will) and see something new.
I must admit that one of the things I love about the collection is that there aren't many pieces, if any, that are still in their packages. The figures are out in the open to be enjoyed. One of the things I'm struggling with as a new collector is, do I keep things in their packages, or not? Obviously, taking figures out of the bubble packaging will destroy the package, but it's hard to enjoy them the way they were intended if you don't take them out.
Anyway, thanks for sharing the photos...very inspirational.

Depends why you are buying. If you plan on reselling down the road, then you might keep them in. However, I stopped buying for resale many moons ago and decided to enjoy what I have. That is, I buy what I enjoy even if it isn't worth a dime later on. Unless the box is incredible on its own (Aurora kits) or the figure is cooly displayed within (I love those Hasbro tubes), then get 'em out IMO. Like you pointed out, that is a big reason Dan's, and many others' collections here are top-shelf. Great items and displayed with purpose and care.
-
That makes a lot of sense, Bogey. Actually, my mindset lately has been to take them out of their packages, but I was trying to gage what the hobby standard was. Regardless, I enjoy them much more out of the packages and will probably continue to collect/display that way. Thanks.
-
Great stuff, Hollywood Dan! What are those little painted monster heads??? Great sculpts!
-
Dan, your Dr. Shocker's House of Horrors.......Holy Wow!!!!!! Batman. Besides the Uni-monster collection, I am really digging the Planet of the Apes collection, that alone is impressive. Well, ok,ok love all the Don Post masks, too. A museum of fun!!!! By seeing those incredible photos, it totally inspired me to work my vast collection.......I'm still in SHOCK!!!!
Do ya ever get lost ?
-
Dan,
What is the Bela in the first pic on that link, the 3rd bust from the left? I really like it, and don't recall ever seeing one? Thanks.
Brian
-
JUST WOW!!!

Seriously, Danny, a DVD and a picture book!

"By the power of GRAYSKULL!!!".......the Don Marques art is beautiful.

I'm guessing either the Man From Planet X title card, Forbidden Planet title card or Saucer-Men?
-
Nope those are nice cards and I have this one of the Saucermen. I would love to have that one, but not in my top 10 wants. Curse of the Demon and Monster of Piedras Blancas are. HHW

I don't mean to be a jerk, but I sure hope Frazetta is getting some royalties on the sale of some of those prints...
I know imitation is a form of flattery, but a lot of these kind of take it to the extreme.

Would you say the same thing about Ken Kelly? I understand that he trained under Frazetta.
-
There are absolutely similarities between Frazetta and Ken Kelly. They both share a sense of form and action that have become familiar to the "Fantasy" art form.
But you have to admit many of these images are incredibly like those of Frazetta, down to pose, subject and color palette.
I don't question his skill or his craft, I'm simply noting that some of his work seems to cross the line from inspiration to duplication. I don't think that's the case with Mr. Kelly.
-
I guess ya all heard the Frazetta story by now. Sheesh!!

P.S. Ted, I didn't see any of the Deadly Spawn in your photos. Did any of them survive over the years? I remember watching THE DEADLY SPAWN years ago in the days when my friends and I used to rent videotapes.
-
Thanks.. :o.like I don't feel old enough....

Hey Ted! We just put up our tree and made sure to perch our Santa Ted ornament that we won at the Chiller auction a couple of years ago in a place of prominence...great to see you here! So how's Lou Ferrigno doin?

lol...don't get me started!
Happy Holidays !!
-
Would you say the same thing about Ken Kelly? I understand that he trained under Frazetta.
Maybe I'm taking this way out of context, and the subjext is Monster Rooms But, Frank Frazetta's work is iconic and a great abundance of artist have copied his style. As for Ken Kelly, in my opinion his style leans more towards Boris Vallejo. Here's the part were it gets ugly......Ken Kelly is a wannabe Vallejo clone, and as far as I'm concerned Vallejo and Frazetta's AMAZING work can never be surpassed. They are, and will always be the best of the best in Fantasy art. Ken Kelly to me well, he will only be know for two of the most famous album covers of all time. KISS's Destroyer and Love Gun LPs....and that's it. Sorry. :(
-
Can't agree with you on Boris Vallejo's work. His stuff looks too much like people dressed up in costumes. Frazetta and Kelly's work at least "look" like they belong in an alternate universe. Boris' stuff is too posed for my tastes. His older, looser work was much better than the pseudo-photo realism stuff he's doing now. If it's fantasy, it should look like fantasy. His pencil work is really nice, but a lot of his work is just boring to me.

Right as rain, Mike. Frazetta is a true artist. Vallejo, although extremely talented, is an illustrator.
-
Frank and Boris were and are good friends of mine. I love both their works!
-
Frazetta created from his imagination, Boris used posed photographic references (mostly of himself, which is why so many of his characters look alike). Huge difference IMO.
Ken Kelly won my admiration with his Eerie covers. I also met him a handful of time, seems like a real gentleman.
Bottom line is they all have entertained me over the years (but Frazetta is the King!).
I highly recommend the documentary PAINTING WITH FIRE to any Frazetta fan who hasn't seen it.
-
Micronauts art FTW!
But I'm probably biased here... :)
-
I like Frank's Paintings, but his Pencils are where it is at. I also recommend Painting with fire. HHW

My digital studio has become my "monster room." A collection of 12" and 8" Sideshow Universal Monsters, Big Loo (circa 1963,) Mr. Machine (circa 1960,) a rare Tobor the Great figure, an array of Ray Harryhausen figures. Also a replica of the Monster Movie Matinee opening haunted house re-created from photos from the original Alexander railroad model 1959.

It's not the size and the content of the collectio that really matters. What counts is what it means to you. Welcome to the UMA, THE internet home for monster fans.

Nice collection, I really dig the Universal Monsters lunchbox. Not to exclude the A.H.I. Frankenstein's monster.

Very nice collection there Draculafan! And welcome to the UMA! I am sure you will love it here!

thanks for all the great comments guys i really appreciate it ;D i love it here already :)

I just finished putting picture of my Universal Room on my site. Here is a direct link to the page.

I just cleaned up another water in the basement mess and I was more prepared than last time. I only lost a couple of things this round. When summer hits the basement is getting an overhaul and then hopefully no more leaks. I can't take losing any more stuff. I hope you like it.
-
Looking great Steve. I hope your water problems are behind you. It's always a shame to haveanything damaged.
Rob
-
Awesome display, Steve. Thanks for sharing.
-
Fantastic collection!

Wish I had one of those damn lunch boxes.

Wish I had one of those damn lunch boxes.
They tend to sell for a lot less these days. One in pretty good shape closed on ebay for $26 the a week or two ago. Still $35 with shipping, but well worth it. I'm luck enough to not only have mine from when I was a kid, but to have traded into a mint with tag and tissue paper on in the early '90s as well. I love 'em both.

My last post here is way back on page 45...I finally got my butt in gear, ignored my kids for a few days and did some sanding. The wife and I painted last weekend and someone is coming to measure for carpeting today!!! My monster basement is finally taking shape!!

and the question is, "Just where are the monsters?". They're still tucked away in the guest bedroom.

Now I just need more shelves, frames, display cases, etc. etc....

Is that a ploy to avoid long term guests?
-
Man it is so cool when a plan comes together. And I am SURE that your Frank mask is eyeing that pink table and matching chairs with envy. ;D
Nice little built in of figures.

A thing of beauty...and just look at all that open wall space! [sure it won't stay that way for long!] Enjoy your new room in good health...Congrats!
-
Is that a ploy to avoid long term guests?
When my in laws stayed here last year there were a few items that I had to remove before my mother-in-law would sleep in the room, one of which was the Miles Teves Phantom bust which had been sitting on the window ledge right at bed level.
And I am SURE that your Frank mask is eyeing that pink table and matching chairs with envy. ;D
Nice little built in of figures.
Actually my daughters have already enjoyed tea time with CVS's 24" Wolfman and Creature as well as a dinner party with some plush Munsters at that very table. Frankenstein has yet to RSVP.

Four! I enjoyed house since I first watched it, especially the scene were his neighbour pulls a very rough copy of the authors book from his back pocket for him to sign.

thats amazing i only know about 3 people who have heard of house
Love that flick...don't have it on dvd yet but I still have my vhs from way back when. You know we've had previous topics on movies blending comedy & horror and I don't recall this one ever being mentioned (or maybe I just forgot that it was) which is to bad because it's another great example that the blend does work when done right!
-
LOVE House!!!!! Not so much the second one, but the first one is great!!!!!

I envy you your monster room!! SOME DAY..........

"Nother monster basement update~slate tile for entry and carpeting is installed, painting for the most part is done, still got some molding to do and have to finish the spindles/handrails coming down the stairs...then I can start planning my shelfing units, getting stuff framed, etc., etc.
A view down the stairs, thinking of getting some lobby card repros to display along the stairwell wall.

That's a great space for all your monster stuff zombiehorror. I remember seeing the before pics, good work man!
-
Wow! This is a beautiful room, it makes me want to get up and clean my monster room :) I really envy your resolve, I have savagely opened every package/box that my toys came in. Sometimes I even ripped them open in the store after I paid for them! I always figured they were mine, ALL mine, and I would never need the boxes. I really miss the sideshow boxes, but some of mine were ripped when I got them. Anyhoo, I can walk down memory lane by staring at mip toys such as yours. Great displays, too!
-
Lookin' GREAT! It appears that the Aurora Wolf Man gave his right arm to see your monster room shape up so well! That's dedication!
-
Zombiehorror, fantastic Monster room.....and so much cool stuff!!!
-
I want to live there.........

Thanks all...

I don't know if it's resolve so much as knowing that I'd have to move this stuff a few more times and keeping it MIP is just easier for that purpose. No damage, no missing parts. I haven't made up my mind whether to release them from their vaults or not but I'm sure the pressure from the UMA on both sides of the "boxed" or "unboxed" argument will be on once everything is finished and displayed...LOL!
-
Very nice!

VERY COOL!!!!!!!!! Man, you don't just have a monster room you have a monster club house!! Wish I had that much room!!!!!!!
Love the different sets of the Marx figures too!!!!

Figure while I'm at it, I'll go ahead and post my room. It's only 11' x 11' so this will be a wall by wall tour. Please keep in mind I really stopped collecting for a long time and my wife started me back up in it about 3 years ago. I don't have a ton of items but I am happy with what I've done so far.
Ok, from the wall you face when you first enter the room.From there we go clock wise..............

Got him off of ebay a while back.I remember having all of these as a kid. When I started collecting again I told my wife I had to have at least one Kooky Spooky . And it being in the original package makes it that much better!!!!!!!!
Hope you've enjoyed!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, another fine collection! Eye candy, and I totally love of your collected pieces. POTA, Darth Vader,
LAM, Aurora models, AHI figures, Don POST calender masks, Curse/Night of the Demon mask......
But!!!! Where did you find the Mr. Sardonicus mask/bust?
-
I believe Dr. David Lady sells them. Also see somebody selling them on ebay from time to time. Go under movie memorabilia and props. It usually pops up in a mask or bust search.

Shoot! Propman, that's a great collection!

Whoa! Propman, this is a great monster room! The mask collection is outstanding, I gasped when I scrolled to the photo! It's so nice when a spouse encourages you to collect monsters, we are lucky people :)
-
Awesome! I had the Castle Dracula Colorforms Playset as a kid!
-
Thanks Guys, :)
And it is nice that my wife actually encourages my collecting. She even bought my AHI creature for Christmas. and as for the Colorforms set, I had one as well. Back in the day I would collect any new or old. Now days I'm really just trying to re-coop what I had as a kit or at least the things I really wanted back then.
I do have a few other projects to finish for the room. There will be a couple of full figures added as well as a couple of toys here nor there.

NICE work Duane! That's amazing you can fit so much cool stuff in 121 Sq feet. I'm reworking my 10 x 10 room and it's got me stumped how to fit everything in. Then again I have 1 wall for my western collectibles and a 3' corner for the few vintage toys I have left.
Zombiehorror,GREAT job man. Very well thought out and cool. I agree that is a monster clubhouse. The repro posters on your stairway would be a big poppin grand entrance. Do it.
-
A while back, I picked a Detolf display case from Ikea when they were on sale. I set mine up as a Lon Chaney/Wolf Man display. First, the front, then shelf by shelf, then the side.

Cool Display Rob. Love the Chaney signature with the photo in the background.
I do have to ask why you have the back of the one bust showing. Next to the Wolfman mask
BK
-
That's one of those busts they had had Michael's a couple of years ago around Halloween. It's of a young woman and looks funerary. It's facing the other way because that's where I sit when at my desk. I still need to put somethng behind the Wolf Man mask,
-
I love the layering of the treasures! I always have trouble figuring out what to put in the back. I just have an old Sevice Merchandise curio cabinet, but I've eyed that Ikea one plenty of times. I always tell my husband that I'm one curio cabinet away from total happiness :)
-
That looks awesome!
I picked up two of those display cases at Ikea when they were on sale,too.
-
Great Wolfman stuff!

It's not the display case but what's inside of it that counts! In my opinion those Ikea displays would look silly and useless when filled with anything else but monsters!

Extremely awesome display!!!

Amazing collections everyone!

We got 3 that day, but I only had room for one. My wife got the other 2; one for Disney and one for Betty Boop.

I have one filled with Haunted Mansion stuff in my dining room, but I need at least one Ikea cabinet for monsters that keep getting covered in dust. Poor things

Awesome.

I'm LOVIN' this thread!! Great stuff!!

Hey, welcome to The Army MonsterFink!! Dude, you have some NICE pieces there!! Congrats!!
-
I'm diggin your ceiling border of the Marvel monster comics. COOL!
-
Thanks, One wall of Where Monsters Dwell, one wall of Monsters on the Prowl/Where Creatures Roam/Devil Dinosaur and one wall of Gorgo comics
-
Monsters on the Prowl, some of my favorite comics. Very cool collection. ;D
-
Great collection!! I loved those McFarlane Monsters! Where did you get the Golem and Cabinet of Caligari figures?
-
Always meant to buy that GOLEM figure, but never got around to it! Nice collection!
-
Great collection!! I loved those McFarlane Monsters! Where did you get the Golem and Cabinet of Caligari figures?
If I may offer the answer, those were from Art Asylum's line called Silent Screamers!
Series 1; Caligari, Cesare, Renfield and Graf Orlok
Series 2; Golem, Maria (Metropolis), Jekyll & Hyde and The Monster (Edison's Frankenstein)
I believe these were available as black & white or sepia...or was it color or sepia!?!? I thought series 1 was pretty cool and always wanted to pick up series 2 but never did.
Oh and it is a nice collection you have there!
-
Yep Silent Screamers and they came either Black and White or Sepia and White, I still need to pick up Mr Hyde and Maria
-

Love those pieces in particular!
-
I love the Silent Screamers! Expressionist figures from expressionist films...what a concept. LOVE the Caligari figures. Cesare is one of my favorite ones. Of course, vintage Sideshow always brings a monster collection to life. Great display, welcome to the army.
-
Love those Kirby covers. The first comic I ever bought had one of those chunky monsters on it. Kirby had a knack for making those damn things look and feel massive.
-
Great stuff Monsterfink--havent seen those McFarlane "monster scenes" in awhile--those were awesome.
Nice to see a TMNT fan here as well--just got the Creature/Leonardo one myself, the rest are being a bit ellusive!
-
More props for the Kirby covers....bet it looks even more spectacular from your vantage point.
-
Very cool comic border!

Monster Room still under construction. I have two 10' x 10' rooms for all my stuff. Here are a few shots of monster room B that I put up shelves and rearranged over the weekend. Trying to get everything up off the floor. Ignore the date. The damn thing keeps popping up.
This is Mr Grim the Evil Scarecrow.

Nice!! Love the purple walls too!! Hey, if you have TWO rooms in the house dedicated to your monster stuff, either your wife is a saint or she's buried under the stairs. Judging by your collection, I'm leaning toward the stairs.

Is that Mrs. Bates' rocker in the last photo, Lester? ;)
-
Cool monster room Lester. I really like the vampire bride and the topstone vampire girl, old school coolness.

Well if you look at it this way SHE has the better deal here. 1100 sq ft tri-level house. I get 200 sq ft and the upstairs hallway for my stuff and the 1/2 bath in the basement. In monster room A I also have a TV,chest,dresser,chair and bed. We sleep in separate rooms due to completely different sleep patterns.
Then there is the 20x22' garage that she gets 3/4s of. And the 4500 sq foot yard is mostly her design and my work. Hmm, under the stairs is starting to sound pretty good. ;)
-
Is that Mrs. Bates' rocker in the last photo, Lester? ;)
Could be,could be...
Actually that is a 1920's-30s wicker rocker. Several years ago my wife had a small gift shop/resale store. She went under and the owner never came back to claim it even though we called her a few times.

I am not sure if I ever shared my son Seth's Monster room or not. Being 40 does that to the mind ???. I know I showed my classic stuff...but he's a little more up to date: He's 10, been collecting since he was 5. Seth considers our man Robert one of the "celebrities" thats always at the horror hound cons,lol. Anyway--he wants to share so share we will........(http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/6475/1005974n.jpg)

That's the mask I would love to have!!!! Very cool.

Awesome stuff there Lester and Phibes!
-
Lester- Thanks for the exhibit! Everything looks so nice against those walls! I really need to paint my monster room, it's boring old contracter white. I LOVE the scarecrow and I think I have a shirt exactly like his!
-
Good stuff! Thanks for the pics.

Another awesome collection! Looks part of my Monster Room. :D

Tell Seth that I think his room is cool! It's an awesome collection!

Seth's collection of modern horror is KILLER!!

I love this thread, so many collections to look at. VeeerrrrrrrrNice!

For anyone that has boxes of monster toys packed up and has heard "bumps" in the night. >:D
One of my fave Goth tunes ever.

Bump, so Terry can find it.

I've been hesitant for a while now to post any pictures of my 'sanctum', because I don't have nearly as much neat stuff as most of you folks in the thread. But I am really happy with how this room has come along. It's more of a super-hero/monster/sci fi room, but hopefully you can forgive the mixing of genres!
This first pic is as you enter the room:

Moonshadow and others, don't ever be hesitant to share your collection. Myself like others enjoy looking at stuff like this. I'm also a comic geek, so I loved seeing the repro covers, the Alex Ross and Stan Lee Stuff! Thank you for sharing it!
BK
-
Cool focal point with that Cap shield, Moonshadow. I also dig those hero Pepsi glasses. What is that little primate like figure next to Wonder Woman and do you mind snapping a closer pic of Mickey and let me know what Soc. App. figure this is?
-
I'd like to echo Brian's (BK's) sentiment about never being hesitant to share your collections with the group. It's not about how much you have or that it's all monsters. It's the crossover part of our collections that give each of us our own flavor. A collection is like a mosiac that says, "This is who I am." For myself, I tell people that I collect monsters, but I am also an accumulator. I have Sci Fi stuff, super hero stuff, and stuff that I just think is cool. I make no apologies for it because it's my collection. I like to see people's collections regardless of what they collect.
Oh, and Moonshadow, that is a very nice collection. The Captain America shield, the lightsabers, and the posters are great. Best of all, you still have wall and shelf space for your collection to grow.
Rob
-
Moonshadow great collection! Thanks for posting the photos.

Yup. I don't think there's anyone out there worth his salt who would say 'pfffft... this collection isn't as good as mine'.... You have a great collection and it's well displayed, Moonshadow. You could have that ONE item that is missing from another collection that that other guy is just DROOLING over.
-
Great stuff Moonshadow. I'm sure it took you quite a while to figure out which figure or poster would look best in a certain spot so everything would flow right.
BTW,nice website.
-
Moonshadow........dear heart.......WHY would you be anything but excited to show your collection?? IT ROCKS!! And folks like us who love things from the MonsterKid era are naturally drawn to other childhood passions such as comic book heroes.
Thank you for sharing, and please don't hesitate to post more. We LOVE that stuff here!!
-
Moonshadow,
Let me echo the sentiments of the other UMA members.
Great collection !! I love those lightsabers and that Capt.America shield
is awesome !!
-
Moonshadow, WHERE DID you get that Capt America shield?? That is one ultra-coooool item!
-
Even though I don't (well, rarely) buy/read comics or collect the comics stuff, I still enjoy looking at other people's collections. I enjoy looking at any pop culture collection!
The CA shield is cool! I like the Harryhausen stuff and need to get some more RH figures and 50s sci-fi figs! All I need is more money and more space! :D
-
R U KIDDING??? That's a terrific collection you have there, all wonderfully displayed i might add! Love that sideshow bookcase display with Frank, Drac and Wolfie. You should be proud!!
-
As usual, I'm blown away by how wonderful everyone is on the UMA forum! Thanks for all your kind remarks about my monster room. I'll try to answer some specific questions -
Bogey: the 'little primate' next to Wonder Woman is a Bigfoot figurine I purchased in or near Willow Creek, California. I used to do a lot of camping in the Trinity Alps area and the folks up there really know how to market Bigfoot! The little roadside shops have a ton of stuff and over the years I bought several things, including this figure. Here it is below in detail:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/walkie20/bftight.jpg)
The Sorcerer's Apprentice figure is one of my favorites. It's about a foot and a half high and the base lights up. My husband got it for me after we saw it on our first trip to Disney World and I was just in love with it. It's called a "Big Figure" statue - here is a link: http://www.yourwdwstore.net/Disney-Big-Figure-Statue--Mickey-Mouse--Sorcerers-Apprentice_p_4525.html (http://www.yourwdwstore.net/Disney-Big-Figure-Statue--Mickey-Mouse--Sorcerers-Apprentice_p_4525.html). Here's a close-up:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/walkie20/mickeycloseup.jpg)
Rob: Yes, I have a little space to grow- you might have noticed the bookcase extension I added next to Dr. Doom! I have plans for that already. ;)
Lester: Glad you liked the website. We have fun doing it.
Scatter and everyone else who commented on the Shield: That was my really big purchase, from Sideshow. I agonized over spending the bucks on that but I love Cap, and man, is that shield cool! It's real metal and real heavy - you could get a work out running around with that thing!
Gasport: Thanks for the compliment on my Uni Monster display. I wanted to do something with them - make a scene from a movie that never happened! Amazing the stuff you find on a trip to Hobby Lobby!
-
Cool collection, Moonshadow! That's what is great about UMA!!!! Being unique.
So much cool stuff. For example, the Sideshow Dr. Zaius, vintage DC drinking glasses,
the 7-11 Warlock cup, and so much more. ;D
-
Shoot, Moonshadow, that's an awesome bunch of cool stuff! Great set-up, too! And that Bigfoot from Willow Creek - FANTASTIC!!!
-
I like looking at everybody's collections. I love how individual, yet connected, they all are.
-
Thanks for the pics MoonSahdow. We are huge Disney geeks and had to see a nice shot of that Mick!
-
Moonshadow---cool stuff. I love Alex Ross's artwork.
Did you see Captain America's shield in the new Iron Man movie?
Also have you seen that picture of Thor from the upcoming movie?
Love the Bigfoot, I've been camping in California and have pics of some lifesize wood carvings of a couple of bigfoot's.
-
Oh Moonshadow!!!! I feel sooo much better since you showed us your fantastic monster room!!!! The Fantasia Mickey made me feel like I'm not the only Disney/ Monster hybrid collector! :) I also have a couple big figs that I adore. I now feel like as soon as I get some assistance from my husband, I'm putting up my monster room/ Disney nuthouse pics. My main problem, besides lack of computer skills, is that my bedroom is my monster room. And it's always a mess with folded laundry and shoes lying around. So to photograph it, I need to get cleaning! Thanks Moonshadow, for showing your cool room!
-
I kind of suspected there might be a few Disney fans amongst us! The big figure Mickey is really well done, the coat is even a cloth material. The eye is drawn to it when you enter the room. At some point i'll have to post some pics of my lanyards and pins - I'm sure some of you are also pin traders!

We're more Monster/Old Hollywood/70s Pop Culture/Classic TV. There are a LOT of us hybrid collectors out there!!
It's so eclectic that it's really hard to display with any sense of coherence, so we don't even try. We just put it out there and enjoy it!!

Yep.
Monster/30s-50s crime ,gangster, westerns, Juvi-delinquent/ Classic TV that most anyone under 40 never heard of/OTR/and of course any classic cartoons including Disney. Believe it or not I have a 1980's Disney 3 little pigs music box I will never part with. Has the pig house with the wolf peaking around the corner and one of the pigs dances around the house while it plays "Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" Yea,I know, my Wickedness just dropped a few levels. :P

Like to see a pic of the music box, Lester....and actually the Wolf was a bad dude!(http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:RnhRVr6RJfmNRM:http://www.goldenweb.it/software/immagini/icone/cartoons/disney/Big%2520Bad%2520Wolf.gif)

OOOOh! I would also love to see that music box!

Ok, crappy pics but here it is. My wife bought this for my B-day maybe 22-24 years ago. Made by Schmidt.

Cool! Thanks, Lester....and now back to our regularly scheduled broadcast.

Ok. It IS beautiful! I also would like to know the story on that Donald! And on a side note, you get powdered donuts???? Yum! Mom won't ever buy them ..........oh wait that's me. Now I want some. :)

I like me a little Disney once in a while,too.
Here's my Chernabog from the Night on Bald Mountain segment of Fantasia.
(http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab97/monolith_06/sc0e7bbfa7-1.jpg)
-
([url]http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab97/monolith_06/sc0e7bbfa7-1.jpg[/url])
To quote the little kid in "The Incredibles", that is "totally wicked!"
-
Thanks, Mon. Chernabog is a favorite here as well. I love when Schubert's Ave Mariabegins to play and the monks walk through the ruins of a cathedral.
-
Yes, Fantasia was a work of art.
-
Holy cow, that looks awesome! How big is it Mon?
-
Truly beautiful Monolith! I have the small garden version.......Trade Ya' :)
-
I don't remember of seeing a smaller version.
This one is about a foot tall.
-
Oh... for some reason yours looks huge! My Chernabog is probably10-12 inches high, but it was meant to be used outside so it has very little detailing. I just love having it around. I also have Hyacinth and Ali Gator from Fantasia, in the same garden statues. Those stories are so perfect to watch! They've got music, great animation and wonderful characters.
-
Do you have any pictures of your statues?
-
(http://i47.tinypic.com/2hfhtw2.jpg)
-
Charp, that's fantasmic!!! ;D
-
I just want to cry.....with joy! I have been watching the tutorial and trying to put up pictures for 2 days! I had to ask for outside help, but now I'm gonna post every pic I own!!
-
I have been watching the tutorial and trying to put up pictures for 2 days!
Congratulations! It's really very simple. I think the main problem is that people use the wrong URL.
-
My main problem was using the photo sharing service that was already on Yahoo. I didn't know I could go off the grid, and use a different one. After I spent hours trying to use it, I watched the tutorial again ( I can now talk along with it ) and I started from scratch using the tinypic, like they did in the video and it worked!!!!!!
-
Another Chernie! Coolness, Charp13!
-
Thanks for the picture-that's a very cool statue. I've never seen that one before.
And congratulations on posting your first photo, I had difficulty posting pics at first, too 'cuz
I don't have much experience with computers.This is only the second site I've ever posted photo's at.

This is an awesome room! Where did you get your glass curio cabinets? I like the style/size of the display cases. Everything is so neat and sparkling clean :) Oh, and that bookcase is wonderful, thanks for the tour!

Cool display, deadman! Can't go wrong with black & red (my favorite colors)!

Well done. Love the coffin bookcase.

Awesome, deadman, thanks for sharing.

Deadman (http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:CMJpWtEv8zhCjM:http://www.comicbloc.com/forums/images/avatars/comics/Deadman2.gif,)
The whole room comes to life due to your wall color and the accent of black. Very nice!

Bogey,I did plan Deadman colors for the room, you are the first person to figure that out.
-
LOVE THAT COFFIN BOOKCASE!!! Did you build it yourself?
-
I'm guessing that he never had any help from Felix Gillie as played by Peter Lorre in the Comedy of terrors, did you see that guy's woodworking! Nice collection Deadman.
-
Thanks again,yeah I built the bookcase, the shelves are a little Dr Caligari askew but It was my first coffin.
-

Do you have any Drywall screws securing this to your wall? Looks like it could have an issue being top heavy. Also what do you have in the little bookshelf to the right? Looks like a ton of graphic novels or something. I always like to pick at peoples brains that are as macabre as I am. >:D
WL
-
Hey Lester, the Mags are Creepys, AFM , Famous monsters, and a british rock mag called uncut. I just put all the heavy books at the bottom of the shelf no problems. the Tutorials from Wayne of the woods said to screw it into the wall but I havn't yet,Instead I am making Paper mache'giant skeleton hands to go over the ledge where I am painting a mural of the Crimson ghost, which you can see pictured.Then I got a tutorial on a Guillotine I am gonna get started on.
-
Deadman, very nice themed room! You can tell a lot of effort has gone into it.
-
(http://i50.tinypic.com/30a5r7m.jpg) This really needs to be organized, so I'm hoping to get inspired :)
-
Organized? Looks pretty cool already, Charp13!
-
Though I have most of those toys, somehow, I'm still blown away at how you have them displayed. Great collection! It must be a real pleasure walking into that room
-
Thanks.. I have a small collection, but it's crammed into that IKEA cube shelf. I really need more room and more shelves. I sleep in this room, so every morning I wake up with my favorite toys looking at me :) I just saw Toy Story 3 this weekend, so I'm a little in tune with my toys feelings right now. It messes with your head!
-
Charp,I'm gonna be a wee bit harsh. Very cool stuff but yea it looks kinda cluttered and too much in one location. Take your time. I've been rotating and selling some stuff off for a year trying to get it right. Sometimes less is better. 8)
-
I agree, Lester. I always tell my husband that I need to move my stuff into a bigger room. Most of my stuff is on that one shelf, but I have some on my nightstands and anywhere else I can find a spot. Every monster room I see on here is neatly organized and in nice cabinets, I gotta step up my game. Ooh, this picture can be the "Before" picture and then I'll post an "After"when I'm done.
-
Hey Charp13, looking good, what is that town up top? that's pretty sweet.
-
Oh, deadman- Those are the Universal Monsters light up village buildings. My husband got me those things for my birthday one year and they just kept coming every month. :)

Can you turn them on so we can see what they look like at night?
-
(http://i47.tinypic.com/14ay52r.jpg) You can kind of see them lit up
-
my god I'm jealous!! i wish i had that much monster stuff!
-
Hey Charp...LOVE that giant Franky poster on the wall behind all those Uni Monster buildings. Looks like he's about to stomp 'em Godzilla style!!
-
Cool stuff charp! I hear you about space, all I have is a small half shelf in my closet.
One day...
-
Charp great collection!
-
Charp, LOVE the collection. That village ROCKS!!
-
Very nice stuff Charp. That little village is so cool! I wish I had got those when they came out. And what is that mummy off to the right-hand side?
It's frustrating when you don't have more room to grow. I am already feeling that way myself, and I have a whole room! I look forward to your 'after' pics! Thanks for sharing - I love seeing everyone's cool stuff!
-
Thanks, charp! Very cool!
-
Charp, you fiend! That's a nice collection!
-
Thanks everyone. I was too timid to show my stuff for a long time, so your nice comments mean a lot to me :) I have more stuff, but it's just everywhere. haha. I love my monsters and they deserve better. I need to see more photos from everyone else's room so I can get ideas on how to shelve them. So please post more photos everyone!

Wow, fantastic bookcase! ;D

Well, I finally did it. My husband has been encouraging me to get a Detolf cabinet for my monster room ("The Sanctum") for some time, and yesterday we broke down and got one. We're old pros at putting them together, as he has 5 of them already! So last night we moved some stuff around and assembled the cabinet. Here it is in all its glory:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/walkie20/DSC01551.jpg)
You've seen my Sideshow monsters before in this thread -here's how they look now:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/walkie20/unimonsdisplaymid.jpg)
I also got a wild hare to try to make a diorama based on Son of Frankenstein. I'm not totally satisfied with it, so there may be some more tinkering. I used the Sideshow 8" figs for this:

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/walkie20/ygorandfrankclose.jpg)
My husband, who is not a monster fan (put away the torches!) has a very nice collection of super-hero and movie statues. He keeps seeing the monster rooms here and asks, "Why don't you post some pictures of my stuff?" In order to keep a happy relationship, I'd like to show some pics of hubby's collection. First, the wall of Detolf!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/walkie20/ttdetolfs.jpg)
I love this Batman:

Looks great Karen!! I like the diorama idea too!! But your husband's half-clad, buxom super-heroines are a disgrace. I can barely tolerate them on my desktop and screensaver.

Oh yes, I am sure it offended your delicate sensibilities. We all know what a fine, upstanding, moral citizen you are...ah, who am I kidding? >:D
-
([url]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/walkie20/ttdetolfs.jpg[/url])
"Alarm! Alarm! Empty space alert!" Tell your husband that he needs more stuff so he can fill that empty space. I'm sure he won't need too much encouragement. That is a lot of nice looking stuff he's got there. That Batman that you like is a great looking piece. The cloth cape makes the difference IMO. Detolf cases are a cinch to put together. Finding room for more...that's the challenge.
Rob
-
No worries Rob, he's got two pieces on the way, so those empty spaces will be filled pretty soon!

Thanks OG!
You can find Detolf cabinets at Ikea for about $60. They require assembly but it is not too difficult, although it helps to have two people.

What a beautiful room! I love the way you have the Wolfman dispalyed, mine keeps falling over. I guess Wolfman needs other monsters around him to keep him company so he won't get bored and fall over :) Anyways, you've got an eye for decorating.
-
Cool stuff! I love those Detolfs but wish they were dust proof. I found some for 30 bucks in the discount room at Ikea missing shelves. I like the Frankenstein lying down on the fur, that's pretty sweet Moonshadow.
-
AWESOME collection and so professionally displayed!! I could sure go for a beating at the hands of She-Hulk! >:D
-
Moonshadow,
What is the Gandalf piece from? Pretty sweet!
-
Thanks for all the kind remarks, fellow Army members.
Charp: Wolfman has terrible inner ear problems and loses his balance easily. ;) To help him I braced him against one side of the case and put a little putty on his back foot to help him get some traction.
Bogey: The Gandalf fighting the Balrog is, according to husband, ToyBiz Balrog Battle Gandalf. He has an extremely loud voice that says, "You shall not pass!" That dang Balrog is huge too. The wingspan is easily 4 feet. He's above and to the right of my desk and it took me a week or so to get used to him looming over me!
-
Wow! That is huge. Cannot get that perspective from just the pic. Very nice!
-
Great display and collection. The Son of Frank scene is very cool. I also like the photo behind the 12" Sideshows.
Your husband has a very cool collection...hot too.
-
Well, I finally did it. My husband has been encouraging me to get a Detolf cabinet for my monster room ("The Sanctum") for some time, and yesterday we broke down and got one. We're old pros at putting them together, as he has 5 of them already! So last night we moved some stuff around and assembled the cabinet. Here it is in all its glory:

You've seen my Sideshow monsters before in this thread -here's how they look now:
([url]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/walkie20/unimonsdisplaymid.jpg[/url])
I also got a wild hare to try to make a diorama based on Son of Frankenstein. I'm not totally satisfied with it, so there may be some more tinkering. I used the Sideshow 8" figs for this:

My husband, who is not a monster fan (put away the torches!) has a very nice collection of super-hero and movie statues. He keeps seeing the monster rooms here and asks, "Why don't you post some pictures of my stuff?" In order to keep a happy relationship, I'd like to show some pics of hubby's collection. First, the wall of Detolf!

I love this Batman:

Larry, I got the facts from my guy: he says the Hulk and Juggernaut are custom statues from a seller on ebay. They are about 23 inches ( that's 58 cm) tall including the bases. The seller is in the Philippines, but we are in Arizona and he got them within two weeks of the auction's end. They were two of the best packed statues he ever saw. If you are interested, PM me and I'll get you the ebay seller's ID so you can check him out.

.... we are in Arizona ...
Arizona? Yikes...has it hit 120 degrees yet this summer?

Hey OG, what part of SoCal are you in? I was born and raised in the central coast region, then spent 18 years in the Bay Area. I never needed an air conditioner there -now I couldn't survive without it!

Been through Burbank many times, had family in Pasadena and Oxnard at one time and traveled through the area frequently. I do recall it being quite warm in the summer!
We're in Phoenix, so in the same general area as your family. The whole place is 90% asphalt, so the temps never come down. Talk about poor planning!

This will be PART 1 of my Monster Room. I hope everyone digs it?!?
PART 2 will coming be soon. ;D
The second picture is not a complete

But, there are some rare titles and distributors.
For instance; Unicorn, Media, PRISM, Vestron, etc.

LOVE IT ALL!! Hey Mars, I'd kill for one of those "Haunted World Of Ed Wood" posters. Where did you get it?? I love Ed Wood, but haven't seen that docu yet. How is it??
-
Nice room! I like the full sized movie posters, I only have small ones, and I like the variety of movies you have :) I wasn't snooping through your things, but I noticed that you have 'The Crazies". I haven't seen it yet, but I think I might be getting it for my birthdayin the A.M. hahaha Anyways, you gotta lot of cool movies! I also like the Frankenstein stuff all grouped together - I might steal that idea!
-
Looking cool mars!

Well here's part of my monster room, the B movie wall. Not a whole lot of stuff but there's not that much room. Doesn't compare with all the others posted here with all the unbelievable collectibles but it will have to do.

Jethro, that is a beautiful looking monster room! Fantastic work on display. Looking forward to seeing more! ;D

Jethro!!! You should charge admission! Wow- that is a fantastic room! So neat and organized, too. Man I wish you lived in my neighborhood, I bet that room is even better in person :)

The Ed Wood poster I purchased years ago, I don't remember where. The Doc. was really good, I can't seem to find
it pn dvd yet.

Great monster room Jethro! I like your scratch built bases man, good work. you have a B movies 1950's thing going, it's fantastic.

Wow there is some great stuff in there Jethro!

This not exactly in one of the scenes from the movie, so what I did was compiled different deatail from the movie set and put it into one. The window, the steps, the wire attached to the wall, and the rusty machinery. Again, I carved the styrofoam and coated it with Durham's water putty.

Two simple bases, the Mummy's Ghost was done with Balsa foam.

This one was fun, it's the scene towards the end of the "Mummy's Curse" in the old monastary. The arch isn't to scale or I would have to have made it about 8" taller.

I tried to recreate the scene in the room where they had the camera set up and the box the Scroll was in towards the beginning of the movie. I plan on darkening the walls...their to light I think.

I made this one after I built the model and that's why his right hand isn't touchin the wall like in the famous still. One day I'll correct it.

I'm blown away. Just amazing. I absolutely love how you've put those scenes together.
-
That is one impressive collection of kits, Jethro! I'm especially fond of the '50s stuff, but they're all great! Love the dioramas, too!

DITTO! How long did it take you to achieve this collection AAND how many hours have your poured into building/painting these? Imo, one of the coolest and well put together (no pun intended) collections on the board. Zombie Shocked
-
Amazing collection Jethro!
BK
-
Amazing. I just spent about 20 minutes looking at everything over and over. Excellent work.
-
To Wicked Lester and everyone else who commented on my stuff, thank you very much for all the kind words, makes it all worth while. W.L., I started collecting the models back in the 80's but didn"t go crazy until the late 90's. To finance my addiction (not joking) I sold off most of an extensive gun collection along the way...no regrets, I still have some good stuff in the armory but any way about three years ago some friends helped me build the monster room and I spend alot of time down there, too much time according to my wife, so now I limit my time to when she's not home. Got alot of hours into everthing, too many to count. I still have about thirty kits left to do, so little time. Before I get to those I'm going to finish some custom bases. One for two Mole People (almost finished), a grotto for the Creature, and two Metaluna Mutant bases. When I finish those I'll post the wall of 50's Universal monsters. Thanks again.
-
Jethro, amazing collection man, I love the scenes you made. Very professional looking. Thanks for posting.
-
Mars, awesome stuff.... Jethro, you are a freak... in a VERY VERY GOOD way. Unbelievable sets.
-
Great collection! Thanks for posting images of your superbly painted kits. When you get a spare moment, please post a picture of that Billiken Dracula. I would love to see that in detail! Thanks again for sharing.
-
NICE. I have a special place in my heart for the "B's".
-
Jethro, I am in awe of your amazing talent and incredibly envious of your monster room. Which Nosferatu kit is on the top left? Is that the Tom Kuntz Artomic Creations one?
-
Wow, great stuff and incredible talent!

My envy meter is off the charts! That IT big head is the bomb!!!!!!! Did you paint these? Masterworks all!!!!
-
Kenneth, I'll post a picture of the Billiken Dracula tonight and Mord, the Nosferatu figure is a David Grasso sculpt from Nocturna Productions and for Anton Phibes, I did paint all the figures in the photos and once again I thank you all for the compliments. "It, Terror from Beyond Space" was a blast to paint, it was actually the first monster movie I can remember seeing and is probably what got me into monsters. I was around 5 years old back in '64 and my mom and dad came home late from going out and they let me and my sitter watch this "scary movie". I was more facsinated than scared but the scene that sticks out was when the body of one of the crew was in that air duct and his eyes had the "Night of the Living Dead" look. My sitter was awesome, after that she and I watched all the monsters movies after that and she even bought me the Aurora Hunchback kit for my birthday and her boyfriend took the time to build it for me...been hooked ever since. How fortunate we are to have this site.
-
We're lucky to have you here, Jethro. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work. I look forward to seeing much more in the future.
-
Jethro,
Might we get a shot or two of that beautiful radio?
-
That radio is actually a Crossley brand immitation of an old radio, it has a CD /cassette player built into it. I put it in there for atmosphere. I will probably replace it soon with a very old tv a friend of mine has. You have to see his collection. He collects old slot machines, tv's, bikes, board games, pedal cars, monster stuff, transistor radios, robots, and anything else you can imagine. He keeps it all in a store he inherited from the 1920's and in the adjoining warehouse also. There are literaly thousands of items.
I will take pictures of the items pertinant to this site. You will enjoy this stuff. Out back he has a city he calls "Skellville", it's city made up of full size skeletons! He also has a collection of full size dinosaurs. One day were are going to try painting them to make them look more realistic.
-
Jethro,
Maybe your friend would like to join the UMA as well? He sounds like our kind of guy.
Rob
-
Jethro, did your B-movie busts come pre-painted or did you paint them yourself? I have to admit, I've looked at your pictures at least a dozen times. What an amazing talent!
-
Mord, I did all the painting myself and thank you for compliment and for monsterphile, I don't know if my friend will join us but I will ask him. He did say he had no problem with my taking pictures of his collection which by the way is an accumilation since about 1974. He doesn't allow but a handful of people to see his collection in person but I showed him this site and what other people here have put on it and he was alright with me sharing it with the UMA.
-
Wow! Excellent paint jobs on all. The custom built bases are amazing and inspiring. I especially like the Mummy's Curse setup and monastery backdrop and that large stone over the doorway as Frankenstein enters. I am going to try to modify my Moebius Frank kit to have that large stone. Thanks for posting the pics.
-
Hey Jethro, can I see a closer image of the Grasso Nosferatu that is one of my favorite kits. you have one of the best monster rooms I have seen.
-
And Jethro, that clock really accents the time period of these movies. One of the best displays I have yet to see....blows mine out of the water.
-
Beautiful set up Jethro, as everyone else has commented. Loving everything from the busts to the clock & radio. Bravo!

Jethro, you've got a genuine talent for models my friend. Love 'em all!
-
I second that emotion! Beautiful stuff. You are very talented. Thanks for posting a close-up of the Billiken Dracula. It looks great!
-
That "IT" piece is a thing of beauty. WOW!
Jethro my friend I am truly glad you found this board so you could share your immense talent with the rest of us. 8)
-
Thanks for posting those pictures, Jethro. I also love your billiken Dracula, it's one of my all-time favorite Lugosi sculpts. I have one painted by the very talented sculptor, Tom Kuntz. It's beautiful, but doesn't have the elaborate backdrop that yours has. I can't wait to see what you do with the Moebius Dracula! Keep posting those amazing photos, please. You really make our day.
-
Jethro, your room is most awesomeness!!!! Love the Robot monster model.
Sal
-
I love that Billiken Drac!
-
Jethro your room and collectibles are second to none!
Thanks for sharing...truly great stuff!

Great model build ups!!

Well, this is actually my very first post here and I feel rather unworthy, lol
There's just so much awesome going on here, my collection seems so small now lol
I have a huge collection of a lot of stuff and the Universal Monsters section is just part of my house.
Either way, this is my Universal Monsters wall.

Wow, very nice collection!! It's not about quantity, you have a lot of great items. ;D
-
Welcome to the UMA. You have a wonderful collection (I have many of the same pieces) and they are beautifully displayed. Trust me, your collection will grow so fast, before you know it your house will seem too small.
-
Nice collection, you have more than me, I'm just getting started again after a long time away from collecting. Thanks for sharing with us.
-
Cool stuff Heath!! Welcome to the UMA!!
-
Welcome to the wonderful world of the UMA, Zombieheath! I know how you feel, when I first posted my monster room I felt like it was nothing compared to most of the rooms I'd seen. But you know what? That simply wasn't true. We all have cool stuff and regardless of the size of the collection, we UMAers love looking at everyone's collections! Your collection is very cool. I dig those posters and the way you have displayed everything -very nice! Looking forward to hearing more from you.
-
Thank you all very much for the nice compliments, I have worked very hard at figuring out the perfect way to display these items and I'm very happy; makes me even more happy that you guys all like it as much as I do! lol
I will be putting more pictures in my albums on Photobucket very soon of the rest of my place and as soon as I do, I will let you guys know.
Nice to meet all of you and thanks again!! :)
-
My collection is quite small as well zombieheath, but you will find the folks here do not care and enjoy all collections shared. Love the shelf there. What is it covered with?
-
I also have a small collection, zombieheath, so it's fun to see how other people's collections are displayed. But I already have decided to steal one of your decorating ideas! The creepy cloth on the shelf is brilliant! It heeps the shelf from having to be dusted all the time AND it looks cool! I just bought 4 packages at Garden Ridge, so I'll be cracking one open- Thanks! I'll post a picture of my copycat shelf later!
-
When it comes to monster collections here never compare yourself to others. We have VERY knowledgeable veterans that have been at this game for DECADES. I've only been back in it for about 6 years and prefer masks and props which take up a LOT of room. Different budgets/spaces/preferences etc etc. It's all good. ;D If someone only has a few figures and a couple Frankenstein posters that mean the world to em I want to see them. 8)
-
Welcome zombieheath! Cool collection and I'm with charp13, that cloth makes it creepy cool. I'll also steal your idea!
My collection is small as well. In fact I only have half a shelf in my closet. Most of my posters/lobby cards are rolled up awaiting my man cave one day. I only have a few models, my SSE Drac and a few odds and ends displayed, but I love looking at it everyday.
As Lester said, everyone here digs any kind of monster display!
-
Awesome, I'm glad you like the creepy cloth idea; I just took some of that $5 cloth that you can pick up from Walgreen's during Halloween (one cream color, one olive green color) and cut them down to a smaller size and just laid one on top of the other and poof! I had a nice little dust catcher and neat-o aesthetic design.
And yes, I have missed out on some awesome decades when it comes to collecting ability; I'm only 24 so I'm rather limited on my collection because things from the 60's til the 80's are so rare or extremely expensive. I was lucky to find the Bride and the Monster so cheap (actually from a guy on this forum selling them for their original price, which was an amazing deal seeing how much the Monster was going for on eBay alone.)
Please do post your shelf cloth ideas! I got a huge grin whenever you guys said you would be 'stealing' my ideas lol
Decorating my house with horror-movie-fandom and comicbook fanboy-dom is my ongoing project so any ideas are totally welcome!
Again, thank you for all of the warm welcomes!
-
Welcome Zombiehealth! As you will learn, we all love Monsters and that's why we are here. We love looking at others Collections, no matter what size.
BK
-
Great collection and display set up. You're right about painting the wall, show us again when you get the wall painted. Where did you get the posters if you don't mind?.
-
I certainly will repost when the wall is painted.
And the posters, I actually got all of them from eBay.
-
Thanks for sharing Heath. Nice pieces and posters, and I'm sure it will expand faster than you can find space to display! It happens.
One day, I too will post!
-
One day, I too will post!
And one day the universe will suffer heat death, its final state of ultimate entropy, resulting in the loss of all thermodynamic energy required to sustain motion and life. And I'm betting THAT will happen before we get to see your collection. ;D

Hey, man---everybody's collection starts with their first item. When all my stuff got destroyed in various moves, I had to start all over at age 23. The first items re-bought were a box of enamel covered Aurora kits from a flea market that I overpaid big time for. 17 years later---BOOM!!!!!!!!!

Gorgeous! Love the framed photos. But where oh where my good doctor did you get that Gargoyles figure or statue in the second picture? I have never seen that before -actually I've never seen any merchandise from that movie.
-
Awesome items!
-
Great collection!
Tons of nice models.
-
Anton, that room is AWESOME!
-
I really like the silver gray picture frames. They set off the Sideshows.
-
Wow! Amazing collection, and beautiful model build ups!
-
Anton, what are those small Universal figures in front of the masks on you first photo. I don't think I've ever seen those. Would you please post a close up of those, if possible. Thank you.

That's an old resin garage kit--unsure of the maker. This particular piece was purchased already finished from Danny over at sassy's satellite. Aside from a mask, this is probably the one figure type thing done for the film. At least to the best of my limited knowledge.

I hope when people start decorating the rest of their rooms as "monster rooms" for Halloween, pictures start popping up like crazy. Is there a Show us your Halloween Rooms thread? :)

Thanks for your commitment, marsattacks666! I really need some inspiration for 2K10. I fear that I'm all out of ideas, except for that cool creepy cloth on the shelf idea that I got from another member.

Michaels has tons of books, on Hallowe'en decorating. I try to buy the coolest of the cool Halowe'en items.
For instance, Target always stocks really interesting Hallowe'en decorations. I always pick the least CHEESY
items of the lot.

Though I don't have a Monster Room any more/yet per se ['kids' being the big buffer in-between what was and what will be], I am graced with a display cabinet in prime family-room real estate. Whether this is ultimately a good or bad thing remains to be seen. Anyway, no such modest accumulation of actual collectables would motivate me to share, but for this new acquisition, which cost me a total of $2.99 Aussie, I proudly present TOD BROWNING'S ARMADILLO.

Great to see so many new pics in this thread. I can never get enough of other people's stuff! Charp, love all the figures and the Frankie bust too. ZH's "guest room" is one place I wouldn't mind sleeping overnight! And DLT, the armadillo is a strange but somehow fitting addition to your collection. BTW DLT, I knew I had seen your icon somewhere; I recently re-read Zelazny's "A Night in The Lonesome October" and saw it was from there. It had been driving me crazy!
-
Yessir that is the one. I was very happy to rediscover my copy of Zelazny's hardcover. Nothing says "DLT" to me more than that wonderful drawing !
:D
-
Nice setup for your collection. It seems that most of you are using bookcase in displaying your collectibles. I used a bookcase too because they are easily to display because of it's cases.
-
Awesome display, ZH!
Where did you get that COOL shower curtain? My wife said I could have one, lol. Thanks. >:D

Custom made...printed the Mani-Yaks out on iron-on paper then ironed them onto the curtain...wasn't sure how it would turn out but once the idea popped in my head I had to give it a try!

Charlotte! Great collection!
OG

Cool Char!! Love how its all displayed!

You kids are swell! Thanks :) I want to show the other walls, but I have tons of party stuff stored in there. By next week, I'll photograph the other stuff, but it's not too much more.

I live in New York City, so it's not necessarily a "Monster Room," but rather a few "Monster Sections" throughout the home:

-
Nice collection. So it that a bunch of UNI Monster posters over a baby crib?
BK
-
Very nicely displayed. Looks really organized!
Sal

Thanks! No, the movie posters aren't from the calendar; they're the standard 11x17 poster reproduction prints.
Also, that is indeed a baby crib beneath the posters. The newest member of the family is due within the next few weeks! Want to introduce him/her to the Universal Studios classics as early as possible:)

Trap-Door Maker - I am so honored to see your home!! It is so beautiful and your glass display cases are so glamorous! Everything in your collection is beautifully displayed and it looks like you have an amazing home! RedKing- I really needed to see a collection like yours today! It is so inspiring and really made me smile. :) I needed to see walls with art like yours because I sometimes feel like I go overboard with the posters and photos, but I see that we are from the same decorating school! I love it! Thanks for posting your collections on here, both of them are so full of Monster Spirit!!!!
-
Thanks again, everybody!
-
RedKing,
Your collection rocks! Your wife needs to have a bronze statue of her put in front of your house. It's neat to see stuff that overlaps in all our collections as well as stuf that's different. Again, a wonderful set up.
Rob

Rob, don't I know it! My wife rocks! She does like some of the movies too, not to the obessed extent as I do, but she'll watch quite a few of them with me.
charp13-thanks so much! It is awesaome to be able to share my collection with other fans who appreciate it. I only have a couple of friends who are fans locally, so it is great to be part of a bigger network of other like minded fans.
Because my stuff id out in the open people that come to our house see it and I have had what i call the Addams Family reaction a few times-where somone will be shocked that this kind of stuff is all over much like visitors to the Addams home would always comically react to their decor. I especially like it when Jehovah's witnesses stop by >:D.
-
I know that feeling. When you enter my house, you see my collection of blowguns, my witch doctors' masks, australian bullroarer and delaware warclubs, among other things

LOL, I know what you mean. I've been the pastor of a Baptist church for 29 years. When I moved in to the parsonage I decorated it with framed Berni Wrightson, Mike Kaluta, and Barry Windsor-Smith prints. Wrightson's Bad Doin's in Knuckledown Lonesome hung in a prominent place in my living room. I had my Great Garloo and the Kenner Alien on shelves in the study along with my Aurora monsters. I got a lot of strange looks from the parishoners. Now I have my own house with my upstairs studio where my monsters are safely housed.

As soon as I can. I've got so much to photograph

I wonder if any Witnesses belong to this site...
-
LOL-If so I hope I didnt offend them! Actually my best friend growing up was a Witness. His aprents would freak out because he was into horror movies, comics, heavy metal and monsters!

Ah, proof positive that monsters and Christianity can live in harmony, as they do at Castle Scatter.

And At Madd Manor.. In addition, I'm a Republican and a conservative. A conservative who has Jason Voorhees head looking out his window right now.

Pete, Red, Charp, some really wonderful selections there. Love seeing it all.
-
Thanks gracebuster- that means a lot coming from you :)
-
Thanks, gang!

Trap-door maker, I really LOVE your collection and how you have it displayed. It might be my favorite one so far. One question... what are those beautiful mini busts in front of the Neca headknockers (Mord, Boris and Bela from "Black Cat" etc.)? Are those still available? Did they come pre-painted? I've gotta have those!

Allow me to answer this one. The busts are the work of UMA member Ray Santoleri. Here's his website:

I'm sure you'll agree he's quite a talent.
Rob

Thanks Rob, I really appreciate it.

Thanks, Mord and thanks, Rob. Concerning the organization of my collection, I give indirect credit to my wife. She's fine with the monster presence in our home, providing that's somewhat organized. My office collection of toys?... well, that's another story:)

This is not exactly a Monster Room since it is outside. This a project a friend of mine did about three years ago. He has property at a busy intersection in our town which originally was a gas station/general store back in the twenties and he has maintained it's original appearance quite well over the years. I post pictures of this fantastic building in the future as well as the unbelievable collection of monster stuff, old bikes, old toys and other collectables. These pictures are of his little town he created for his amusement called Skellville. Everyone here is dead in this town. I took these photos during the day. I should have taken them at dusk...very, very creepy and atmospheric. I know there are alot of pictures but these are half the ammount of the scenes he created. He has a smoke machine attached to the cab set on a timer to give it the appearance exaust is comming out of the engine. Hope you enjoy it. You should see it at dusk with the wind blowing through the trees. He just picked up seventeen new skeletons that are about three feet tall to create new scenes.

Very cool! That tractor pic reminds me of when back about 30 years ago, i noticed an old International tractor in some woods near my house that was abandoned and over the years trees had actually grown all around it , fencing it in. God knows how many years it had been sitting there... One day a local farmer made arrangements with the property owner to remove it. I saw him messing around with the motor and asked how he planned on getting it out of there. He said you CAN'T kill these things and he would be DRIVING it out! I thought he was out of his mind, but a few hours later i heard a chainsaw start up, as he was cutting down the trees that had grown around it and the next thing i know, he's behind the wheel, DRIVING this thing thru the woods! I told him he should have alerted the International Tractor company of his plans because this would have made a GREAT commercial for them! AMAZING!!
-
Man! He's got a small fortune growing there in Bucky's!
-
Wow, it's so cool to know that places like this exist in the world! I would love to move to Skellville and be the creepy old caretaker, if he ever needs one. These are amazing displays and I can imagine what it must look like at night under the stars and a bright moon.
-
No 'bones' about it- I love this place!!
-
I've been meaning to do this for a while now and today I actually took some pictures for posting.

There is a bit of other stuff scattered around the house, but I'll save that for another time.

Jim, I could spend a week in there just poking around!! Just send in food and leave me alone!!
-
Man I love Skellville!! What a cool set up! Jim your collection is fantastic-great stuff and very nicely displayed! I changed up my display in the dining room and living room because my one rickety shelf was knocked over by our foster puppies. Nothing was irreparably damaged, but I figured I better get rid of that bad shelf. I packed up the broken kits to be repaired sometime in the future, got out some things from storage(and picked up a very cool 12 inch Del Toro Wolfman figure today!) and redid the whole shebang! The bedroom is still basically the same as in the pics I posted before, so I didn't take news pics there, these are just the dining and living room displays. Again, I said it before, but it needs repeating, my wife is the most awesome lady because she does not mind having monsters all over the house!! Here is the new set up:

Fantastic collection, love how it is displayed. What's the story behind the little model Monster kid room display?, it looks great fun.
That's a diorama I built as an homage to all our rooms we had when we were kids. It's the subject of an article in the latest issue of Amazing Figure Modeler.
Thanks to every one for all the great comments. I didn't realize the stuff I had was actually "displayed", I operate by the principle that if there's an empty spot somewhere, stick something in it.

We have similar tastes in everything...! I even had that exact same collection of dust until I recently got rid of it. But I plan to get it back in my collection soon. ;) ;D
-
Finally.......I am so happy to see these monster rooms! I look forward to seeing everyone's collections more than you could ever imagine :) I don't even know where to start looking but I love the internet because I cannot wear out the pages! Jim- I also would like to hang out in your room for a couple of days. Everything is so easy to see and enjoy in there! How long have you been collecting?

LOL-I have never seen a house collect dust as bad as ours! I don't know if it is because we live on a dirt road or because the house is old or what, but I can dust and sweep today and by tomorrow I will have dust bunnies formed already!

Don't feel bad......that's the bane of EVERY collector.We ALL know what that's all about. Damnable dust!!
Great collection, and a great wife to let you display it in all it's gory glory!!

Keep in mind, a large portion of dust is shed dead skin cells. Are you sure you're not mutating into some new lifeform?

Officially I've been "accumulating" stuff since 1963. Of course the accumulation ebbs and flows with the years and various financial situations, but I still have the one original piece that started me off, an Aurora Frankenstein kit purchased at Disneyland. And I purchased a replacement for my battered and lost first issue of Famous Monsters which also helped to lead me down the Monster trail.

There is a bit of other stuff scattered around the house, but I'll save that for another time.
Jim, your collection is fantastic!
-
When you get a chance, can you post a close-up of those plane models, Jim?
-
Digital photography is a wonderful, almost instantaneous thing. Here are the planes as requested.
(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c346/JimBertges/Miscellaneous/100_2197.jpg)
These are two Dogfight Dioramas built by my friend Rick Overton. They are his answer to the Luft '46 game in which the Germans have advanced jet fighters and battle the Allies. Rick's idea is that the Allies should have the advanced weaponry and shoot down the bad guys. I like his idea better. He built a lot of these and has them hanging in Hobby Shops all around Los Angeles.
-
Great Room Jim and love Rick Overton! Where's he been lately?
-
Wow you guys must have been collecting for YEARS. Even though I'm a new generation of Monster fanatics, I love the old Aurora sculpts and vintage toys. I have mostly Sideshow related Universal Monsters, but with the re-releasing of the model kits I want to change all that. I'll post pics of my considerably smaller collection tomorrow. :laugh:
-
Keep in mind, a large portion of dust is shed dead skin cells. Are you sure you're not mutating into some new lifeform?
Rob
Hmmm. that would explain the scales, claws and tail I recently grew! >:D
Don't feel bad......that's the bane of EVERY collector.We ALL know what that's all about. Damnable dust!!
Great collection, and a great wife to let you display it in all it's gory glory!!
Thanks Scatter! My wife is definitely awesome! I should post a pic of the whole wall in the living room so you can see the disconcerting mixture of my monsters and my wife's porceline dolls!
Erin, we all love to see any collection, no matter how big or small. Can't wait to see yours!
-
I'll post pics of my considerably smaller collection tomorrow. :laugh:
Erin,
They were all small collections once. From little acorns grow mighty oaks...or if you're lucky, triffids!

Everything looks so amazing..........and clean! I also really like that zombie sign, I've never heard that before. How did you come up with all those display ideas? I need some of your imagination :)

My friends say that i have a weird imagination and weird sense of humor. You need to be weird I guess ;)

it's not really a monster room, more like a wolfman/werewolf wall. the display isn't that great either it's more a jumble of shelves, but one day I'll hit up ikea for glass shelves to give my collection the appropriate display. i put up these images in another thread but i found this wonderful thread, it is so great to look at all these amazing collections and i love your displays, oh i can't wait till i get a house and am able to paint and get shelves and make a true monster atmosphere.
-
Wow, WWW, that's one cool Werewolf room! You're the Queen of Lycanthropy! Love that Misfits poster!
-
WWW!!!! Your monster room/werewolf lair is spectacular! I love the way everything is grouped together and the wall art is howlingly lovely! It's so cool that you focused on werewolves and ran with it. I am all over the place and have a hodge- podge of a monster room. It's a really cool room and I'm going back to take another look. Thanks for posting such good photos :)
-
Hey Charp13, didn't you post some pics of your stuff awhile back?
-
Yeah. A couple times, but my monster room is ALWAYS a mess! So, I just took photos of one wall.
-
What do you expect out of a room crawling with monsters, :D! My wife & I are going to her workplace this Saturday to check out some unused shelving - hopefully, I'll be bringing some home and start displaying my beasties on them!
-
Nice! I'm always on the look out for a better way to shelve things! I hope you guys come away with some sweet display shelves :)
-
Wow, WWW, that's one cool Werewolf room! You're the Queen of Lycanthropy! Love that Misfits poster!
thanks so much for the encouragement, the misfits wolfman is actually a t-shirt that i framed.
-
T-Shirt? Even COOLER!

Here are some shots from my rec room...

What is that mask on the bottom shelf, far right? Looks like a Caveman or Bigfoot - I really dig that one!
-
Thanks for the comments everyone! My collection is my pride & joy!

That's Kelly Mann's recent release of the Verne Langdon designed Neanderthal from 1972
-
Let me know if you ever need a creepy old caretaker to move into your rec room! I would clean up and keep the riff raff out of there for you. Your monster room is incredible and I love the brain that wouldn't die! You should be proud and joyful about your "pride and joy", it is a really great room :)

A few photos of the progress on the monster basement....
Finally got around to finishing the other side of the spindles/railing on the stairway..was really dreading doing this but finally forced myself to~

My girls just couldn't resist a photo op! These are a bunch of McFarland's that I've had stored in totes since we moved in and I felt they deserved to see the light of day....though this will not be their final set up~

And finally took down some temp shelves I had in this cubby and built the permanent ones which as you can see is now where my dvd collection resides~

My husband got a wide-angle lens for his camera and decided to try it out in my Sanctum (aka monster/comics room). I think a number of things have changed since I last shared this room.
Here's a shot facing north:

Now facing east:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/walkie20/Sanctum%20December%202010/wideshoteast.jpg)
For an early Christmas gift, hubby got me the Sideshow Creature statue -I was blown away! Apparently he got a great deal on a "used" one, but it looks perfect. So here's a close shot of my Creature Tribute shelf:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/walkie20/Sanctum%20December%202010/creatureshelf.jpg)
Here's a wider shot, showing the bookcases below the Creature:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/walkie20/Sanctum%20December%202010/bookcases.jpg)
Another favorite is the original Marvel Zombie, Simon Garth ; the base on the statue is amazingly detailed:

Looks awesome, Karen! A groovy room to kick back in & enjoy some good ol' monster flicks!
-
Beautiful room! I want to plop down in that chair and stay a while :) And that Sorcerer Mickey is awesome! I have the cookie jar of him, but that statue is the ultimate Sorcerer Mickey!! And I can't help but notice that your home is superhero-clean! It must be nice :)
-
Awesome mancave :)
-
Nice collection!
I like that Marvel Zombie.
Did you spot Captain America's shield in Iron Man 2 ?
-
Awwwwwwwwwww...........I love it!!

Ok Gang - Since I don't have that huge of a monster collection, I'm gonna at least try to make this as entertaining for you as possible - so here we go!
The ominous looking door to what is going to become my MONSTER ROOM...

The North corner so far... what you see when you open the door...
(http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo79/TheUnknownPrimate/Monster%20Toys/EvilFrankyShock034.jpg)
The West corner & wall... That's my old junky drawing table, plus you can see a couple of paintings I did - Kong is finished, but Bela & Boris needs more work...
(http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo79/TheUnknownPrimate/Monster%20Toys/EvilFrankyShock035.jpg)
Bottom part of the South wall...

The South wall, where the first shelves went up...
(http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo79/TheUnknownPrimate/Monster%20Toys/EvilFrankyShock036.jpg)
The Closet - this stuff will eventually be on some proper shelves, along with a lot more books... notice, KK is missing from his pedestal for the time being...

Going through some plastic bins, I found this little dude in his Yanoman box - MINUS his right arm! Looked everywhere, but no damn arm! I'm going to try to make a new arm out of Sculpey, but don't know if I can pull off the tiny details. Oh well. Where the hell's that arm?

Thanks for looking & I'll keep updating as much as I can!
-
Ah, the skeleton of the monster room being fleshed out!! All we need are some flashes of lightning!!
It's alive!!! ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!
-
UP!!!! Those shelves are the greatest shelves I've EVER seen!! I bet they can hold hundreds of pounds of monster stuff! Mine are black, wooden and flimsy- so I have to constantly dust them and I can only add a few monsters to each shelf- Ugggh! I agree with Scatter that it is thrilling to see the bare bones of what will surely be an epic monster room! And those shelves will probably hold an actual Bigfoot monster- if you find one!
-
I had to get heavy duty ones - I aggravate my wife so much, I might have to sleep on them some night!
-
Those shelves are heavy duty enough to allow you to climb to the top and swat at pesky biplanes while gripping a bodacious blonde. And I fully expect your obituary to contain such references.
-
My last request is for you to write it, Gary!
-
Nancy will likely poison me long before your appointment with the Grim Reaper.
-
I see Godzilla has fought his way out of the bins UP. Those shelves are fantastic, sure beat my wooden ones, and I can't wait to see pics of them teeming with monsterous life forms. Love the sign of your inner sanctums door, very classy.
-
UP, it's always good to see a fellow monster lover's room. Are those your paintings of Kong and Frankie & Yigor? Very nice!
-
Thanks Gang! Yep, those are mine - I started on the Franky & Ygor 7 or 8 months ago, then tucked it away. It needs some finishing touches, obviously - details & more shadowing. Kong was easy & fun - just like me! OK, I just weirded myself out! I got a great deal on the steel shelving - just had to bang'em together. Nice & solid! Man, it feels good to finally get this deal going!
-
UP, it's great to see the birth of your monster room! I know you've been wanting this for awhile. I can't wait to see how it evolves. It's really great that you can produce your own artwork too! Also really dig that sign on your door!
-
What's Godzilla holding in the second picture?
-
What's Godzilla holding in the second picture?
Good eye, Monolith - it's a Southern Pacific railroad boxcar! Might be an engine, though - I'll have to look closer!
I have been finding some pretty cool stuff - some I almost forgot I had. Some doubles I should put up for sale - some Sideshow 12" figures, the 12" Hasbro Signature series & a few others. I'll have to post the specifics in the Monsters For sale thread sometime soon.
-
Trains are perfect for Godzilla's hands.
It's always fun unpacking a box and finding cool stuff you forgot about.
-
I see some great collections, and future Monster Rooms!

Two attempts at capturing my monster basement with panorama~
This first one came out a little fudged doubling some of the Bride standee and that area as well as the funky looking door/railing in the last frames....
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh10/zombiehorror01/Panorama1.jpg)
This one came out much better, I don't think there is any funky/doubled areas.....
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh10/zombiehorror01/Panorama2.jpg)
-
Ahhhhhhh! It's beautiful- ZH! I love all the nifty little nooks and crannies of your room layout. It's perfectly designed for a grand monster room! Cool camera, also :)
-
I wish I had more room. My Monsters are confined to a walk in closet. Displayed---but very cramped. There are literally things piled atop one another. I am eyeballing my 15 year old son's room. He declares he's joining the air force when he turns 18..... ;)
-
i wish i had a friend or even a boyfriend that enjoyed monsters as i do or even had a room full of them!! i can just imagine sending hours looking and admiring ... I myself when i get my own place, will have a monster room of my very own!! >:D i cant wait!
-
Great collections everyone. Big or small, all that matters is you do it for yourself, and you enjoy what you collect.
I've recently been rearranging my masks in my monster room in a more permanent location on the shelves. Here are a few bad quality shots of the masks portion of my collection until I finalize the display etc... I still have a ton of masks in storage like Topstones etc.. that will have to wait until I have a bigger place. It's come a long way since the pics I posted at the beginning of this thread years ago. When i get my toys a bit more organized I'll share some pics.
I only collect mass produced designs, I don't own a single indy mask. Not because I don't appreciate them, they just don't make me feel warm and fuzzy like a mask you could walk into a store as a kid and buy. I feel the same way about model kits.
These are all Don Post

And these are Savage Eye, thanks to my pal Dan Roebuck and his shocker sale. Who packs his boxes very well I might add. And Cesar masks. I really loved these as a kid..Mmmm Vanilla.

Man, that is one of the nicest mask collections out there! Really great stuff, thanks for the pics!
-
Thank's Dr. Terror for the look see, love them all.
-
Dr.Terror- That's an amazing collection! I'm going back to look at them for the third time after I'm done typing! My holiday wish for you is-more shelves! I hope you get them so you can put some more masks out for us to look at :) I really love the way they are displayed and the room looks like a real nice place to relax.
-
Displays looking good Dr. T!! Very impressive collection, love me some masks, even though I don't collect them.

OK boys............for the single among us, I believe we've discovered the key to her heart. Not to mention a way to get her to spend hours in your bedroom. ;)

you know it's true monsters are they key to a girls heart.... well at least a monster chic heart, my boyfriend discovered that early in our relationship and we have been happy ever since in fact he was the one that encouraged me to start collecting again, don't worry great guys like this are out there!!

Off-topic for a second, would the Scat-Man be good enough to please post a larger image of what looks at this distance to be a highly amusing piece of avatar workmanship? Thank you.

Carl looks like he's thinking, "Vincenzo's never gonna believe this!"
Great job on that, CreepysFan! Perfect for Scatter!

Thanks for the complements. Although I collect for myself, its still fun to share pics now and again.

Loveleh. Thank you gentlemen. There are clearly no limits to Kolchak's bestiary. Truly a man for all seasons.

A little sneak preview of my monster display. Just putting them on the shelves randomly right now. I plan to rearrange them eventually, but I keep finding more & more monsters - think I'm gonna need more shelves! I'll post close-ups after I get everything where I want it. We've spoke about the size of one's collection and I consider my monster horde rather small in comparison to most of what I've seen in the UMA, but I'll tell ya, I can't imagine setting up some of the monster-size collections I've seen on here! Amazing, just plain amazing! Anyway, here's mine so far & thanks for lookin', gang!

Very Cool UP! Glad to see you finally getting things onto shelves and posting pix (from he who has yet to post pix of his collection)--and I'm happy too see thus far, no evidence that I duplicated any of your collection with my Christmas gift!

Great collection!
i agree your nick name is as awesome as you collection U.P.!
-
That looks great UP-awesome collection! Can't wait to see it all put out!
-
I believe everyone is missing the most terrifying primate in your great collection....the SOCK MONKEY!!!
-
That "sock monkey" is really a Socksquatch, and yes, he is very creepy - especially at night, when I'm at my drawing table... with my back to him... I can feel his staring eyes.
Otherwise known as a clothes hanger. :D
Rob
It has definitely gotten more use as a clothes hanger than what it's supposed to be for - a useful contraption, nevertheless!
-
Socksquatch!!! Hahahahaaha! You and your room are awesome Up! In fact, every time I read your posts, I think about one of my favorite " squatchs"- Quatchie! Do you happen to have one? It's the cute little mascot from Vancouver. Let me know :) Your room is already better than mine- TRADE YA'!!!
-
Thanks everybody!! Charp, wasn't "Quatchie" one of the official mascots of the Winter Olympics, also? Or was it just for Vancouver, in general? Either way, no, I don't have one - it'd be cool though! I'd trade ya, but the monstrosities in my room have already taken it over - I'm just a looming "Gulliver" to their demonic "lilliputians"!
BTW, my granddaughter was here all week, and claimed she wasn't scared of the room. I said, "Good - coz that's where you're sleeping tonight!"
FYI, she woke up EVERY morning beside an unknown primate (in his & his missus' bed) ;D - matter of fact, she slept ALL NIGHT LONG with the hairy beast - me, being the hairy beast, not my wife!
-
Cool to see the beasties finding a home UP!! How long have you and I been joking about your plastic bins now?? LOL!!
Dude, closeups of the primates ASAP!!
-
Dude, closeups of the primates ASAP!!
Seconded!! I love them gorillas!! :D
-
The rooms coming along great UP, fantastic collection. Did I see a Ymir standing next to Godzilla, fourth shelve down ? Can't wait to see more pics, and I'll cast a third vote for the close-ups on the simians.
-
The scariest thing in U.P.'s room may be that Ab Roller.
-
UP-- It's looking good! I too ,love the primate shelves.
-
Looking good. One of the things that is a bit of a dilemma when you begin the process of setting up a display is HOW you are going to organize it. Some people group by character, some by toy type or manufacturer, some by era, etc. I like to mix it all up, but I do have some areas grouped by monster:
(http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd71/actionplus/monster%20gallery/Picture203.jpg)
and some areas by toy type/maker:

Andy, that is an EXTRAORDINARY collection!! I do see a disturbing tendency toward redundancy, however. I can help you with that. ;D
-
That's like a mini ackermansion you got there.
-
I would like to set up camp right in the middle of that room! WOW!!! It is like the theme park of my dreams! Beautiful job on your collecting, decorating, organizing and taking care of those amazing treasures!
-
Beautiful museum quality collection you have there, Andy! Do you give tours??

Another Beautiful collection.............Wow!!!!
-
Poseablemonster--- awesome collection, I'm especially diggin' all the AHI and Lincoln variations.
-
Everything in your collection is fantastic. But........I really DIG your AJ Renzi Monster Mobile plastic Car/Hotrod
-
P.M. :o amazing just awe and I'll be honest envy inspiring, your collection is just fantastic, wow i could just spend hours in there looking at all you wonderful pieces!!!
-
UP--I can't wait until your collection gets fully revealed and arranged. I know that you have been aching to get it unpacked for a long time time. Keep us updated.
Andy--That's not only a great collection, but you are fortunate in the amount of space that you have available to you. By the way, I didn't see any pictures showing the elecric fence that keeps the kids out of there. :)
Rob
-
Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I appreciate it. Anytime you are in the Midwest, you are welcome.
Rob, we don't use an electric fence; that would be cruel. Cattle prods are better for conditioning behavior. ;)
Actually, I let 'em play with some of the stuff if they want to...but usually they just ignore it anyway.

Who is that ADORABLE little girl?? Shoot, she'd have me wrapped around her little finger enough to play in the Monster Room too.

Looks like she's been playing in the monster room too long; her hands and feet have changed!

Poseablemonster - Adorable little girl, and loving the gum ball charm monsters. But i'm REALLY green with envy over the ever elusive Uncle Creepy mask I see on the bottom shelf. fantastic collection.
-
Wow Wow and Wow, I am so in love with your collection and the way it is displayed, I think it is certainly one of the most beautiful looking I have seen.
-
Your beautiful daughter looks right at home there! Mr. Williams, your collection is legendary and I keep going back and zooming in to check everything out! I showed my wife your pics and she couldn't believe her eyes!
-
Thanks again for the nice comments everyone, I appreciate it very much! :)
-
That's my daughter, and you got it! She has the run of the place.
when my niece and nephew come over they run right to the wolfman/werewolf wall and pick a few of them to play with, yes i am a total chump when it comes to them :-[
-
PM, your collection is amazing, i have to admit i borrowed your idea for pin display, i framed my pins in a similar fashion. i also love your charm collection it is truly awe inspiring... and keep in mind that imitation is the greatest form of flattery ;)
-
monsterphile, i was looking through the monster rooms and i though i saw a Japanese wolfman stamp moistener in your collection on a book shelf, it may be from bandai? i was wondering if you could post a picture or give some info on the figure? i have been looking for him for a while and would appreciate any info,thanks
the stamper is in box and is of the second shelf he looks like he has yellow pants but i could be wrong?

i see you also have the wolfman head brain jello mold i just got him on ebay and was wondering if you have any info on him and have you ever eaten jello out of his head?
ps. sorry everyone about the repeat posts i just keep seeing awesome stuff and have a lot of questions and comments i guess you could say i am a talker ;)
-
Don't apologize...........that's the fun of the site!! If you spot something the rest of us missed and ask about it, a lot of times things like that spark entire threads where we all learn new stuff. We love that!!
-
Poseablemonster- your monster room is an inspiration. I have to say your AHI bend em's and jigglers are some of the cleanest and brightest I have seen. Nice work on those. I would enjoy seeing a close up of your mummy bend 'em to add to the many discussions on the topic which is one of my favorites. Also, the multiple 8" AHI figures you have amassed is truly impressive. You must have every wrist-joint, arm color, head type, soccer shoe variation of the frankie, as well as the others I would guess. I don't think I would have the patience to hunt all those down. But I so admire your attention to detail and beautiful display. A true standard setting collection.
If you get a chance could you post some close up photos of your AHI bend 'ems and jigglers? I would love to see those up close. Thanks for the inspiring monster room!

The little Wolf Man with the yellow pants actually holds a pair of scissors, tucked up his...er...well, definitely don't run with scissors. The box lists the line as both Horror World and Hora World with then anme of one company Stix International on the top and Vannays Merchandise Inc. (1985) on the side. Only the Vannays company is on the back of the toy. I got this off of Ebay years ago.
As for the jello mold, I think I may have tried a long time ago, but I don't think I had any idea how to do it properly and the jello didn't form correctly. I don't remember exactly where I got this, but I think it may have been around Halloween.

monsterphile thanks for the great pics and info,i love the artwork on the side of the box, the wolfman's expression is perfect considering were those scissors are located :o ouch.... you have helped me so much on my search for this little guy i though he was a stamp roller and from bandai so this is really helpful.
and as for the jello brain wolfman, i couldn't bring myself to eat out of his head i just kept thinking of that scene from Indiana Jones and the temple of doom with the "chilled money brains" yikes
that wolfman is freakin awesome and so are you for that matter!! thanks again

Poseablemonster- your monster room is an inspiration. I have to say your AHI bend em's and jigglers are some of the cleanest and brightest I have seen. Nice work on those. I would enjoy seeing a close up of your mummy bend 'em to add to the many discussions on the topic which is one of my favorites. Also, the multiple 8" AHI figures you have amassed is truly impressive. You must have every wrist-joint, arm color, head type, soccer shoe variation of the frankie, as well as the others I would guess. I don't think I would have the patience to hunt all those down. But I so admire your attention to detail and beautiful display. A true standard setting collection.
If you get a chance could you post some close up photos of your AHI bend 'ems and jigglers? I would love to see those up close. Thanks for the inspiring monster room!
Thanks, AHI. Those jigglers and bend 'ems are all in a rear-loading case that is tough to move and get into, so these are the best photos I can post for now:

(http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd71/actionplus/Monster%20Toys/Picture102.jpg)
This variation of the Creature Bend 'Ems is the only one I have seen. Unlike the usual stiff, shiny rubber; the one on the right is made of a softer, flat rubber.
(http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd71/actionplus/Monster%20Toys/Picture098.jpg)
All of the rubber AHI jigglers I have are the bin toys with tags attached to the cords, except for Kong:

Great shots!!

WOW, PoseableMonster, thanks so much for the great photos. You have one of the nicest mummy bend 'ems I have seen, here is a photo of one I bought recently from Dr Shockers museum:
(http://www.smugmug.com/photos/1100288603_Mc9Fe-L.jpg)
I almost asked about the Creatch Bend em, that looked like a strange color. I have never seen that variation and I would be so interested to hear any info anyone has on it. How soft is it (pencil eraser? jiggler?) Can you share the story of where you got it and what the seller told you? It is a mystery like the dark AHI mummy jiggler I also got from Dr Shockers museum:
(http://www.smugmug.com/photos/1100288869_85sGV-XL.jpg)
Any info or ideas anyone has on this figure would be appreciated...The wolfman bend em card is perfect- you must have the best specimen on earth of that peice...do you also own the carded mummy bend em in the Gallery? (Or does anyone know who does own it?) Also whats the story on the green knock off (mexican?) AHI wolfman jiggler where did you get that and do you have any other AHI figures like that? Sorry for so many questions but the photos were so interesting and thought provoking. Thanks again for the great photos, and happy new year!

That odd Creature Bend 'Ems came from Canada as I recall. It is definitely softer rubber than the others, but not as soft as the oily jigglers.
That brown Mummy that you have is an interesting variation. These weird oddities pop up from time to time; probably just the manufacturer using what they had on hand at the time to make the figures. Like the "cupped hands" monster bodies for example. These bodies are too long for the clothes and shoes, but they used 'em anyway.
(http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd71/actionplus/Monster%20Toys/ahi.jpg)
I have a Lincoln Dracula that has a head molded in green rubber and painted flesh colored:

(http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd71/actionplus/Monster%20Toys/back.jpg)
The green AHI Wolfman knock-off came from Mexico. I have a few Creatures from Mexico; one is cast from the Penn Plax aquarium figure and the others are Aurora casts. No other AHI recasts, though.

I'm really enjoying this exhibition- everything is so nicely displayed, poseablemonster!

monsterphile we had talked about the werewolf jello head and how i was a little weirded out at the thought of eating the jello brain out of his head, well my nephew came over and accidently knocked over the top of the jello wolfman head exposing the brain, he freaked he took one look at the plastic green brain and bolted out of the room.
i think my collection may have psychologically scared my sweet little nephew, :-[ although my niece saw it and automatically wanted to touch the green plastic brain.. kids well at least i am still the favorite auntie to someone, well if he is truly terrified i guess he can take comfort in the giant cvs plush wolfman i got him for christmas that my brother says he sleeps with..
-
i think my collection may have psychologically scared my sweet little nephew,
In the hallway of our house, you have to walk past my monster room to get to the bathroom. My wife's friend's daughter (age 6) always wants and escort to walk her quickly past my room. Some kids like it, some don't. Sounds like your niece on her way to being very much like her aunt, but there may still be hope for your nephew. :)

I have yet to find a kid that has been scared by my monster room. Now the life size Michael Myers in the downstairs living room seems to get adults and children alike as they come down the stairs.

I love it. Brave Mickey Mouse stands guard to call 911 :laugh:
-
LOL! Yep, the other side of the room is Haunted Mansion stuff, so he's not really as out of place as he may seem in that picture. You could say he ties the room together. :laugh:
-
Haunted Mansion stuff!!! Now were talking ;) Love to see that side of the room, lol!

OK, here are some quick pics I just took. This is an attraction poster I got from my pal Danny:
(http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd71/actionplus/Disneyworld%202010/Picture110.jpg)
Here's some framed concept art, record album, pin display, and a neat Hitchhiking Ghosts display done by Jim Bertges:
(http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd71/actionplus/Disneyworld%202010/Picture109.jpg)
Some cases with small items like pins, other park trinkets and our collection of Randotti Skulls and Tombstones:

Some more Randotti and the wall of Shag prints and a shirt from the 40th Anniversary:

and a Marc Davis signed and numbered Stretching Portraits print:
(http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd71/actionplus/Disneyworld%202010/Picture111.jpg)
We have several more items, but no more room to hang them! We went overboard on this stuff when we visited Disney for the first time...
(http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd71/actionplus/Disneyworld%202010/disney10158.jpg)
-
WOW!! Great collection. You've got some killer items, I love the skulls and tombstones, and the prints. I will hopefully complete my set of the 4 models soon. I really dig that attraction poster, never seen one like it. I'm currently having the Disneyland Mansion's fence replicated (the front fence design) not the small walkway fence, for a studio I'm building. Thanks so much for sharing ;)
-
PM: thank you for posting pics of your Disney collections! Just outstanding, I am still poring over them. I love the pins, I just put a bunch of mine in a shadow box too. Are they primarily Haunted Mansion? I see Mickey and Minnie ghost pins that look like the ones I picked up at Disneyland in October.
I'm also diggin' the Shag shirt! That's a great way to display it. And you have a refillable mug! We went to WDW for the first time in 2009 and I loved my refillable mug.... ;D
Again, thanks for posting those pics, you have a wonderful display.

a friend of mine had a life size jason figure and to freak out his room mate he would move the figure every now and then in the dead of night, one night he heard his roommate scream from the bathroom he had put jason in the shower, his roommate never forgave him for that. i gotta say i love how you have positioned Micheal, he just waiting at the base of the stairs just errie, very cool..

WHAT?????? I've never seen your glorious HM collection poseable monster! It's fantastic! Fantasmic! I wish I had half the stuff you have :) I would love to see some more close ups of your curio cabinets when you have time! I just have one in my HM dining room. I am a super-fan of your home!
-
Andy, it's really cool to see all that Haunted Mansion stuff on display. That really is an incredible shrine!

Thanks, Jim. I owe credit to you for several wonderful items in the collection...not the least of which is this incredible finish work that you did on my "Grave Robber's Reward" kit. Simply magical what you can do with a model kit...

Oh- I love how you set up the hitchiking ghosts in front of the poster! Cool idea! And the Grave Robber's Reward is a beautiful work of art. I just got the Jim Shore statue in Nov. when my husband and I went to MK. It is my new favorite collectible! The pins are displayed so nicely- I never would have thought of doing that. I only have 2 HM pins because I usually just get them for my niece and nephew. Now I want to collect them too! haha! That HM stuff makes me so happy when I see that other people are smitten with it too, I smile every time I walk past my dining room. I wouldn't know what to decorate my house with if it was without Monsters and hitchiking ghosts! It would just be empty rooms, I guess! You should be very proud of you HM room and all the joy it brings to people :)
-
Love the haunted mansion stuff, do you have any more of the mpc models? Big fan of Michael Myers / Jason items too...well done!!
-
The Haunted Mansion stuff rocks! I've been collecting this stuff for awhile , i love the pins but the haunted mansion pins can fetch some big bucks especially the early ones or the really limited ones. The Pin store at down town disney had the frame sets half off last time i was down, I picked one of them up and the master gracey jumbo pin, I might have some extra haunted mansion pins to trade if anyone is interested. I'll post them on the items for sale page in the near future.
-
toys-of-terror, I would love to see your HM stuff too! I can't get enough of that eye candy :) There are so many things in everyone's Disney collections that I've never see! And I'm medium-old! I've never seen 90 percent of the HM pins before. They are really cool, but it's too late for me to add another element of collectibles to my home. My curio cabinet can barely hold the stuff I have now.
-
P.M your collection is just beautifully displayed i love how you arranged those skull necklaces, just beautiful!!
-
Thanks again, we do love the Haunted Mansion stuff!
-
my boyfriend and i love the haunted mansion and i wanted a HM theme bedroom so far we just have basics and no actual HM items we just have the feel of a spooky room, when we get a house we plan on going crazy with the theme, paint and HM items that will really set the room off. your display is really artful and i may have to borrow some of your concepts but keep in mind imitation is a form of flattery ;) the UMA is a wonderful place to get inspiration

Here are some of my haunted mansion items. The bride you see is about 24" tall and glows when she is plugged in, the tombstones are about 2ft tall as well and they too light up. I tried to get photo's of the pins but i have too many for photo's. I wish i could display them better. I love the shadow box idea. Im trying to finish my vintage model set as well so if anyone out there has any for trade give me a yell. Enjoy!
-
Very nice collection! I love the tombstones.
-
Ahhhhh! toys-of-terror!! I thought you were in my house in picture #1- haha! I have the bride and tombstones in a similar set-up in my dining room. You have excellent decorating taste. :) The rest of the pictures confirmed that you were not in my house as I don't have ANY of those collectibles! That little ceramic mansion is to die for, and the framed artwork is so fancy! I love all your HM display! Man, I really like those pins! I guess I never really looked that closely at all the different artwork each one has- I probably just didn't have my glasses on when I originally looked at the pins, so I missed out on all the details. What room do you keep your collection in? and where is the spare key? (Just kidding about the key-but I bet it's a skeleton key).
-
thank you charp13, glad you guys can appreciate my stuff, The ceremic mansion is actuall still available for sale at the christmas shop at down town disney for around $100 (for anyone who wants one) it lights up and is part of the villiage collection they offer, My whole house is dedicated to monsters/horror movies me and my wife both are monster lovers and we actually had a halloween wedding last october , i held it in the graveyard from my haunted attraction i ran for 21 years ( i have photo's of the wedding for anyone interested), you couldn't even come to the wedding unless you were dressed as a monster , it was a night to remember and turned out so much better than i ever imagined. I have monster toys/props/posters throughout my entire house. I have some extra haunted mansion pins for anyone interested.
-
Oooh! I would love to see pictures of your haunted wedding, are you kidding?
-
ok my friend, I will post photo's later tonight or tomorrow, off to watch a horror movie with the family for the moment ( last exorcism)

Have to show off the neat Hairy Hominids that I have been recently gifted with.
Opera Ghost sent me the "Harry & The Hendersons" figure back in September, to cheer me up while recuperating from a busted back - I held off as long as I could to NOT take him off of his card, but I am weak and Harry is strong. The little "Creepy Apeman" was sent by Charp13 - he's awesome! Charp is awesome, too! Next is this cool little "King Kong" swingin' a club, sent to me awhile back by Scatter's son, Jordan! Thanks, Jordan - you ROCK, dude! Charp sent me these next two creatures, also - "Quatchie, the Sasquatch" & the wide-eyed "Dream Pet Gorilla". Thanks again to Rob, Charlotte & Jordan.

It's a PrimatePalooza!! I love it!! Keep em coming UP!
-
Home sweet Home- UP Looks great!
-
Awesome pics UP! I had almost forgotten about that big Kong bank. I had one back in the 70s as a tyke that I used to use with the big Shogun Warriors Godzilla. What company made it? I really want to try and get another one someday.
-
RedKing, that was made by A.J. Renzi, Co. They made lots of different sizes. There are other members who know everything about them!
-
UP, great stuff man, I dig the white Yeti...

UP, great stuff man, I dig the white Yeti...
No doubt!! That caught my eye too!!

Thanks for the info UP-I will add that to my Monster resolutions for this year-to track down one of those Kong banks! Is that white Yeti figure from a GI Joe set? It is definitely a cool figure!!
-
Fantastic ape display! I love the variety of it all, Mark. ;D
-
Thanks, fellow primates! Yes, that white Yeti is from a G.I.Joe set, but I bought it by itself, loose, off Ebay.

U.P., your collection looks great!

That Jaws sells for big bucks now..... :)
-
erin- your monster room looks great! I really like your Jaws figure as well! The pink curtain is a lovely back drop-It shows off the colors of your collection. :)
-
Haha thanks guys :)
I actually got the Jaws for $80 at a flea market. It felt like a steal and I was so happy to get it. ;D

When they had those at Spencers, they were around $35 and I thought I'd get one later when they went had one of their __% off Clearance sales. Well, they never did. :(
Last year I found a boxed one at a yard sale for $5 and it took me less than a second to grab it. :)
The one unfortunate thing was that he said he had another one, but his kid wanted it and he had given it to him. Otherwise, I would have bought them both.
From what I remember them going for online, you still did just fine. Now if I could just find shelf space for this thing, it's big.
Rob
-
It's not super large, I think the box makes it look a tad bigger than it actually is. But I definitely cleared space when I got it because it was that one thing I REALLY wanted.
Now I want the super expensive Sideshow maquette, and as far as I know the only place to get it is eBay...it's not like Sideshow has it on their website anymore. >:(

Yep, thats the animated Cygor, I know the origin of most except the second from right. Its a walking robot. Walks then roars as he reaches out his arms.

So cool! ;) I had one that was white, I believe? Could be wrong.

Love tha apes, Jimm! I like that big brute on the right - seen him a few times on Ebay and keep planning on bidding on 'im. Just always a dollar short & a day late!
Primate Power!

That McFarlane Kong is really cool. I used to own him but I sold him because I had no room and needed the cash. :'(

I thought I was the only one here into the "mint in the box experience.
Not by any means. I am too, big time!

I have to preface my collection shots by saying that my wife is awesome! I dont have a room and she let me put items out basically throughout the house, especially in the dining room and our bedroom.

Used to have a lot more but I've tried to just focus on things that are actually "tpys" (aside from the head knockers).
-
More great stuff! I dig the lunchpail/box
-
Cool stuff, Dig those headknockers awesome detail!
-
Who's the two-headed fellow on the upper left?
???
That is a 1997 7 inch Bandai 1991 version King Ghidorah. He actually has 3 heads-the middle head is kind of hidden behind the right head.
Awesome collection Ayatollah! Love that Lunch box!!
-
The lunch box my be my favorite Uni Monster item ever made. I love the art and the nostalgia factor is very strong as I had one when I was just a little one.

Looking good. One of the things that is a bit of a dilemma when you begin the process of setting up a display is HOW you are going to organize it. Some people group by character, some by toy type or manufacturer, some by era, etc. I like to mix it all up, but I do have some areas grouped by monster:

and some areas by toy type/maker:

But I find it is more fun to let the monster toys mix and mingle with one another...

Andy's room is beautifully done, but I'm sure it wasn't an overnight success. It probably tok him a good week or two to accumulate all of that stuff. ;) I think the amount of space and the hardwood floors really are the icing on the cake.

Thanks, guys. It did take several weeks...actually a little longer than that! The room was finished off especially for a monster gallery room. I looked at various art gallery layouts, and came up with the basic layout for our contractor. He did most of the construction, and I helped with the finish work. Some things I wanted were out of my budget, but it worked out very closely to my vision for the room. Then it was a matter of finding store cases that fit the space. I am always looking for better displays, and new ways to showcase the items in the collection. It really is a continual work in progress. Unfortunately I have very little time to enjoy it, let alone work on it these days.
-
poseable monster, Your display is truly an inspiration, I thought my collection was awesome but i've been humbled after laying eyes on yours. Great Display man, How long have you been collecting monsters? Is there one item your looking for that has eluded you? What is your most prized piece in your collection? Sorry for all the questions, Just curious
-
Great collection! No wonder I can't find an AHI Frankenstein!

Thanks. I've been collecting things most of my life. I started with toys in the late 80's - Megos, ect...and about 1992 I started moving toward monster toys. I crossed paths with Ray Castile in 1993, and after seeing his collection I went fully into the monster toys. In 2002, my son was diagnosed with Autism, and in order to pay for in-home therapists, supplements and all the other expenses; I sold most of my collection. After a couple of years, things got better in that respect and we were in a better position money-wise, so I started building back my collection. I've gotten almost everything back with the exception of a boxed AHI Dracula and a couple other items that I haven't found yet.
Speaking of items that have eluded me; a carded AHI Creature has yet to make it's way into my collection. That is probably my #1 want right now. The other tops on my list would be the rest of the second series Famous Monsters of Legend (Dracula, Frankenstien and Wolfman), Boxed Lincoln Monsters from Europe, carded Tomland mini-monsters and there are a couple monster masks that I would like to find.
My #1 prized piece in my collection would be the nose/upper lip section of Forry's Creature from The Black Lagoon/Revenge of the Creature prop mask. It has the actor's noseprint on the back side.

Every one of those is a variation of some sort, believe it or not.
-
I know. I was just joking with you.
-
Poseable Monster, is your Horizon Creature the one they (Horizon) sold pre-painted? Just curious. Thanks in advance.
-
Andy, truly fascinating collection, and (more importantly) you're a fantastic dad. As the father of an autistic child myself, I know the struggles you've faced and continue to face. God bless you and your family brother.

I think that was a pre-painted one. I got it in a larger collection of Creature stuff, so I am not totally sure.

Thanks, Scatter. I went through a very emotional time last week when I re-visited some of the old camcorder footage of our family at that time. I did my best, but after that diagnosis, I was so angry that it seemed to overshadow everything else. Now I can look back and see such a wonderful, beautiful child...but at the time I didn't recognize it like I should have. He's ten and doing so well now, and things are good but I do regret some of the anger and depression of that time period. I wish I would have somehow enjoyed it more and appreciated the good times as they were.

wow! great stuff everyone! I wish I had half of the stuff you guys had

Not only that but I have several books on board games and I wasn't even aware of the Milton Bradley Monster Mansion game! And yours looks mint in box unplayed! Is that so?
(http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd71/actionplus/masks/023.jpg)
Three questions:
1. Were those masks the Don Post sculpted ones?
2. How many Don post masks do you have?
3. Is that ad from the back cover of a Warren magazine?

The Monster Mansion game has been played with, but I think it's complete.
The masks were put out by Don Post Studios, that Frankenstein was sculpted by Pat Newman for Don Post in the 60's.
I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 Don Post masks in my collection.
That ad is from the back cover of issue #36 of Famous Monsters of Filmland.

Hey, all those emotions are natural. It's a far more difficult thing than anyone who hasn't been through it can ever really understand. You have to walk a mile in those moccasins to do so, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Hey guys!! I got a new monster room!, this is just the living room and i still have a lot more to display. Hope you like it! Adam D.

Wow! Fantastic! A monster Xmas!
The only area I see that needs improvement though is that you don't have enough Creature items. The Creature was top notch in my book and you really should add more Creature items to your collection.

Love the mid-century vibe of the room, especially the rock wall. Too bad you have to ruin it with the ginormous TV ;).
-
WOW, Adam! I have to say that I LOVE the new pad. Very cool place!
-
Great room! Expect Dick Van Dyke to come in, tripping over the ottoman! Would be wonderful to sit back and watch some 50s scifi monster goodness in that space. Congrats.
-
The 60s style furniture sets off that monster living room, creature green even, very nice.
-
Adam, I love EVERYTHING in your room. Love the green furniture! You're truly an original. It gives all of us here hope that someone so young (and talented) appreciates the classic monsters especially our beloved Creature. Thanks for sharing your treasures with us.

Very nice, love the retro decor. All you need now is a tiki bar!

Awesome man cave!!

DAMN, KK! If i had a room like that i'd lock myself in and NEVER come out! Beautiful job...the stuff retro monster dreams are made of. You've inspired me to take some pics of my [much less organized] backyard studio where i teach guitar. Yesterday i finally committed myself to doing a LONG OVERDUE major dusting and cleaning. Takes a good two hours to systematically go around the whole room. I have a few glass sealed showcases and cabinets, but the majority of my stuff is exposed to dust and requires hand cleaning. DEFINITELY the down side to collecting! I always get a kick out of when a new guitar student enters and sees it for the first time. Some people literally squeal with delight and others doubt my sanity. [they're not alone!] Oh well, hope you all enjoy...

I think that is sitting right below the TV!

Where would the turntable go?? The top can't lift up with the TV on top. I think it's just a cabinet. If it IS a cabinet ES, I wanna see inside!!

Actually, at second glance, not a console, but perhaps a dresser?

Gasport:
You and that room make sweet music together! I like the way you mix other cool collectibles such as Quisp and the Give-a-Show-Projector in with your monsters.

-
Thanks Hep! Yes, it's truly a diverse bunch of ''stuff''. Looks more like a ''Where's Waldo'' puzzle than anything else! I really do enjoy seeing people's reactions to it all...sometimes i end up spending more time talking about my stuff than i do teaching guitar! The Give A Show set was given to me recently from one of my guitar students who dug it out of a dumpster [!!] when he noticed a neighbor who was moving throwing out a bunch of his stuff . It's all there , too- the projector and all the slides! There was also a big stack of original Beatles trading cards he gave me about to suffer the same fate... AMAZING!
-
Mike, I'm in AWE of your collection brother. And I LOVE the cabinet for your TV. Is that an actual shell to an old console TV, or a retro cabinet made to look old school?? And, is that a vintage or new MEGO Batman there??
-
Gasport,
Super awesome collection, Love the Mattel Herman Munster puppet in the box no less, I have one but mine is loose (im jealous), I see you have a love some 80's toys as well i see some secret wars in there. Love the range of collectibles in there, Your like me, very wide taste of toys from each time era. You play guitar? I've been playing keyboards in a prog/power metal band for about 11 years, Keep rocking dude!
-
Wow, great stuff Gasport! I spent a good amount of time staring at those photos.

Dahhhhhhhh! I almost missed some monster rooms!! Adam- You are one classy monster kid! That room is as swanky as it is monsterfied. You really have an eye for decorating, I see you as the first monster room interior decorator!! You could get paid for making sweet monster living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, etc! For all I know, you could be an interior designer already! It's such a beautiful room, and it shows us all that we shouldn't be afraid to take our monsters out to the living room :) Gasport- I am so enchanted by your collection! It reminds me of the glass cases at the Disneyland Hotel where they have all different kinds of mementos and objects that you can look at and say "aww man, I used to have one of those!" You have so many cool things! I will be staring at your collection for a while this afternoon! It's a music studio, you said? It looks like the perfect place to sit back and enjoy some music as well. Awesome!
-
Thanks everybody for your comments! Scatter, yes, that's a real TV i picked up at a yard sale during the 80's. I tried to get it in working shape by replacing all the tubes, but to no avail. It then sat out in my backyard [this was before i had sheds] covered with a tarp until i could decide what to do with it. Well, that winter was rough...the tarp blew off, the TV fell on it's side and was covered in snow. In the spring i went out to bust it up into pieces, figuring it was trashed. Turns out the nasty weather had simply [and surprisingly cleanly] removed most of the finish on the wood! NO warping, NO rot!! A testimony to how well they made these things back in the day! I decided it would make for a great cabinet, so i gutted and refinished it. [used to do a lot of furniture work back during this time] The Batman and Capt America are old school Captain Actions.
TOT, A good childhood buddy of mine gifted me w/the Herman puppet. Believe it or not it still talks! He also gave me the Horror Scope and the poster from The Terror which i eventually got Roger Corman to sign for me. Yes also to the Secret Wars and Super Powers figures. There are loose ones in the wood cabinet with the Lon Chaney Vampyre figure in front of it and carded ones in the stainless steel floor display. Nice to meet another musician here! We also have Packy Paul, Hep Cat, Big Bud among others here who play. Too bad we can't form a UMA band! I could even bring in Zacherley for some guest vocals!!
Thank you all again for chiming in...There have been times over the years when i almost packed away and considered selling a lot of my stuff, but i'm glad i didn't give in to those negative times in my life. It's SO nice to be able to share it all with friends here who truly ''get it''!

kreaturekid, that is the coolest room I have ever seen! It's absolute retro heaven!!!!!!! And gasport, i LOVE your eclectic collection-all of it is so cool!!
-
Kreaturekid--- I agree, that room is awesome. Love the whole vintage look and the great Creature collection! Very cool.
-
Awesome creature collection, Im Jealous! Keep rocking
-
It is an amazing room all-around, Adam. The fact that the decor of the entire room is 50's era to go along with the Creature theme - a 50's film - is just beautifully presented. And the green color of the furniture; it's really the perfect Creature room in my opinion. Very well done, my friend. 8)

What's so retro about KreatureKid's room? It looks state of the art to me.

What is this haunted house / shelf from?
-
Man -- you guys are posting some fantastic stuff! Great collections!!! Love it!
-
Hey MFS. That's the Ideal Haunted House game from the early '60's. Over time it's gotten decorated with various rubber skeletons , some Universal Sideshow skateboard monsters and a non glow Creature figure by Remco. Thanks for asking!

Okay, huge old school monster fan here (but I also collect scads of other toys).
Here's a link to pics of my old toy room.
I moved about 2 years back and because of not knowing how long I intend to live where I presently am, I have more than half my collection now stored in huge boxes in my current toy room, and it's not half as fun to look at as the old one.
I really miss having it all sprawled out. I use to love going into my toyroom, putting on the iPod, blasting old school hard rock, just lay in the middle of the room and observing the toy insanity around me. It was fun to build this room up from just a couple monster toys.
I should mention these pics were taken about 3.5 years back, so my collection has grown a bit more......just a bit!
Enjoy! And check out my monster models!

Ok Prof.- I will sign the proper papers and commit myself into your toy asylum! I really could stay in that room for a couple of years :) Very cool!

Bobby, that is a truly amazing collection my friend. Welcome to the UMA as well!! Pull up a slab and make yourself at home.
-
Thanks so much guys!! Amazing collections!!
-
Nice!, Like that large scale terminator guarding your stack of monster models, Looks like you collect a little bit of everything, Super cool.
-
Thanks guys! Yes, I collect a bit of everything, but my focus is mostly monsters.
My approach has always been, when you go into a toy store/toy show, pretend you're a kid again. Walking down and around the aisles, what toy really grabs you? The great thing about being an adult toy collector is you are no longer at the mercy of Mom and Dad saying, "Put that back on the shelf where you found it." Now, you just buy!
The recession has put a limit on my buying now. I've slowed down. And it seems like the amount of toys that I find interesting coming out, has slightly slowed down too. Still collecting though!
