Finished the box, but wanted to wait and see if I could get a larger pic (same or similar) for the front before I put up a large pic.

Found the pic I wanted, so here's the link to the large pic. Pic and link also in the Phoenix boxes "Sticky" topic in Monster Toys and Collectibles.

BONER INDUCING! Terrific job, Mike. LOVE the poster offer at the bottom....GENIUS!! The trading card on back seals the deal. OUTSTANDING!!

Dang, that's nice looking! You nailed it Mike .. big time. Very 60's looking! I'm very impressed!

Thanks, but, that and pretty much the rest of the box is just a rip-off of the Phoenix boxes. Origially, I was just going to put the Horror Hosts on a Phoenix box, but thought it would be better to change the design a little bit, as if it was almost another Phoenix series.

Zach is going to go crazy(er) for those! The whole series is going to be a treat!

Late to the game...but I just wanted to second the vote for Morgus.
He's certainly worthy...as is the Legendary Count Gore De Vol (Washington Horror Host)

Prof. Griffin

And I'll agree to that. But Gore is of the second wave of hosts, along with Dr.Shock and Sir Graves Ghastly. Gotta have someone in the second series, you know! (And hey, we can't leave all of this for Mike to do. Come on, someone else step up and box the second wave.)

Well, since it doesn't take as long to do the 2nd one and I already had the Vampira pics, I thought I'd knock this one out. Link to the big one below.

I swear it just keeps getting better and better around here. Wowza! That's some might fine looking eye-candy Mike! Pun very much intended too! Salute!

Don't save pic yet! Had to tweak. New pic in a couple of min.

It's fixed now. Go ahead!

Hi, first of all thanks for all the work on the candy boxes! So I have a new computer - a mac
  and I'm not familiar yet with I Photo. Does anyone know: if I just click on the links and save the full size images in I Photo is that enough? I want to make sure I get them on my hd until I rectify my printer situation.  Appreciate any help from mac users! THANKS again!!!

Mike,
           So, do you ever SLEEP?? The Vampira box is amazing! I just printed one out...if only my hands weren't so crippled from cutting out Zacherley boxes all weekend!

Shoot, I coulda made that one in my sleep! Just take out the Zach photos and put in the Vampira photos and copy the name from this part to that part and bang, you got a box.

Oh, don't go all modest now! These pieces take some thought! The "Graverobbers" bit on the bottom is genius, and shows a depth of fan knowledge that might escape most people.

Go on, take your bow. And I'd be thinking of an encore if I were you.
