It was right behind the couch, where I had dropped it.

Was sent the link by a friend.  Glad he did.  Love this place.

One of my early customers and now friends Freddie Poe aka Dr. Vollin had to do some arm twisting to get me to check the UMA out (didn't think I'd have the time to join a monster site or any other for that matter) but once I checked it out, that was it.   Been here since January 2003.

If I recall, I originally signed on when it was the Yahoo group, about a year or so before the move to this (vastly superior) incarnation. I was in the middle of a search for classic horror conventions in my neck o' the woods, and simply caught sight of the name Universal Monster Army... way too intriguing to pass by!

I'll always be very happy I looked into it.

It was back in the Yahoo days. My web site was about as half as big as it is now and one day I was checking my e-mail and I got a draft notice from the General himself ordering me to report to the Yahoo Group. He said he saw my site and I should be inducted into the UMA. I was happy to report for duty and have enjoyed the UMA and its members ever since.

I'd seen the UMA mentioned in Scary Monsters and found the link as a member of the HMA. Now I am here everyday vs once a week at the HMA and have about 7 x as many posts here too. It's really my only daily message board now.

Found it through the HMA website.

Toy Ranch

I was googling for info on the Frankenstein Head Speaker and found it through that.  It was a Yahoo Group then and the threads were not search indexed like they are today, but I think it was a link off a page I was looking at.  Anyway, I got my question answered and have been around ever since!

I was also looking up "Universal Monsters" on Yahoo, when UMA came up in the search. The first thing I saw on the UMA site was "Show us your Monster Room", and I was blown away! I immediately ran from the room clutching my laptop and showed the images to my family members and screaming "See, I'm not crazy!!! Other people have way bigger monster rooms than me!". And I probably have looked at those monster room pictures hundreds of times. :)

I'm always looking for Forums that hold my interest, I googled Monster Movies Forums, and came across the UMA.
I liked the layout, the atmosphere, and most of all, the people here..and well, the rest is history :)

I googled FREAKS... and I was taken right to the home page. ;D  Nah.  I googled frankenstein mask, I think------and I eventually got sent here.  I wound up contacting Daniel Horne and got a 'Grim Glenn' Frankenstein mask from him and have just stayed.

Looking up Universal Monsters during lunch one day and there I saw the link, right before Halloween 2008. Perfect timing!
