Thanks for your welcoming words folks.... I feel like I've come home at last!

Not sure if this is the place to post but... Here's something I dug out when I got home from work tonight...  I've never actually listened to this LP, but I thought I'd scan what I could of the cover for you to look at.  It's a 1981 pressing but I can't remember where I got it.



Here's the track listing:

Side A
Introduction
Narration and excerpts from original soundtracks of Universal Pictures:
Dracula
Frankenstein
The Mummy
Side B

Bride of Frankenstein
Son of Frankenstein
The Wold Man
House of Frankenstein
Finale

The back cover has a blurb by Forrest Ackerman.

I also have an LP of "Frankenstein as read by James Mason". 

Question: does anyone have a copy of Leslie Halliwell's book "the Dead That Walk"?

Cheers

A classic piece of memorabilia, Wayne.  Forry Ackerman and Verne Langdon created it--practically out of thin air, overnight!  If you don't have the ability to listen to it in its lp format, you can probably track down a cd copy of it.  Fun for monster kids of any age!

Wow.  Now this one "seems: to really brings back memories.  I remember reading it in the hospital right after I got my tonsils out.  Must of been third grade or so.  They had a small toy area with nothing much to interest me and some scattered books here and there.  I took this back to my room with me.  However, I do recall staring at the cove more than actally "reading it".....

Did this one come in hardback.....for some reason I remember it being a hardback book.  Or am I confusing it with another Karloff cover?

Robert Taylor has all things Karloff for sure.  I just got a couple of foreign language books on Karloff.  Karloff een Konkrete Myte from the Netherlands, and Karloff El Aristocrata Del Terror is a wonderful Spanish book.  I have not had a chance to scan my cover yet but here is a link to a photo of it.

The Spanish one is available still.  Finding and buying the one from the Netherlands was about the end of me but it arrived safely this week.
