It's a Palmer Plastic Creature. Much talk about them in various posts on here. Where'd you get it?

Thank you.  It turned up with a lot of old plastic toys, but this was the only monster.

Nothing horror-related this time, but it's what we found this week anyway!



3 sets of earrings worn by Rue McClanahan on episodes of The Golden Girls and privately, along with pics. From Julien's Auctions, which handled her recent estate sale.

We usually stick to stuff that's pre 1980, but we've always loved this show, so what the hell?

I'm looking forward to a picture of you wearing them, Gary.

Why do I think all your mental pictures are done in crayon?

My Grandma was going to sell her whole record collection and I asked if I could go through them. She is a very religious person and only listens to gospel music. But, to my surprise I  Found 2 Records from one of my Favorite bands; The Ventures. I was really surprised to find these, and she said my grandpa bought these 2 records in 1963. I listened to them on a record player, and I fell in love with the way it sounded. Everything sounds  so much better on vinyl. Here are the 2 records:

That is correct. Reconfirmed over and over again in blind tests.

Today was National Record Store Day, and while browsing the aisles of a couple of local vinyl oasis spots, I found this!



Here's the back cover.



The artwork is pretty vivid. It came with a CD too. There's a lot of good, obscure Monster Kid Rock on there from the Revels, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Ike Tunner and a bunch of songs I can't wait to listen to. The record was made by Penny Records and it says their website is http://pennyrecords65.tumblr.com.

I also scored the VERY limited translucent vinyl version of the Misfits 30th Anniversary of Walk Among Us," which was a Record Store Day exclusive. It also comes in blue and red vinyl.



If that weren't enough Monster goodness for one day, I also picked up a copy of a magazine called "Undying Monsters," which has the first cover story I've ever seen on "From Hell It Came."



That issues also has great looking articles on old Monster Records and the classic Monster Board Games we love.
