I used to watch The Wonderful World of Disney religiously on Sunday nights but don't remember this episode.I think the kid is scarier than the Monster.

So does he use the monster to send those people into the cornfield who displease him?

[Monsters For Sale]

DISNEY?

He looks like a Stepford kid.

That is the weirdest kind of a Frankenstein.  Weapons where his hands should be and antennae sticking out of his head.

Good thing Uncle Walt never bought rights to the classic monsters!

Picked this stuff up at a die cast toy show this weekend. I will buy Frightning Lightnings whenever they are cheap enough. I dig the generic, non copyrighted names on the cars. The Overtaker! Oh yeah!

Cool! I like Elvira's set of wheels.

I always thought she had a great set.

Horror Hot Rods!! YEAH!  The Graveyard Duo set is on my To-Buy List (Of course they're relabeled models of Dragula and the Koach, but who wouldn't be ok with that??)

And Shawn Dickinson is an amazing artist with a cool darker-retro-Disney style, his Surf Hearse is on my wallpaper rotation.

Neat!    The doggy is cute, too!


I got the DST Metaluna Mutant bank today. Looks great with my DST Mutant and Interocitor and Sideshow LBH Mutant, but I can't get my camera to upload pics to my computer.

The Metaluna Mutant won me over with the Interocitor.   The band "Man Or Astro-Man?" got me hooked when I saw that they regularly incorporate an Interocitor in their live shows.  If you like surf music infused with globules of cheesy sci-fi, I highly recommend them.  I can share some of their tunes if there's interest here.  I made my 60yo comic book dealer (who loves surf music and Godzilla) a CD of their stuff and he really digs it.

I checked out the Days of the Dead con in Atlanta for the first time today.  It wasn't too shabby for the price of admission, but the Spooky Empire shows I've been to in Orlando definitely dwarf it.  There wasn't a whole lot in the way of vintage goodies, but there was quite a few modern toys, just nothing in my price range or anything I couldn't live without.  I was stoked to get somethings autographed for the first time, but immediately bummed that everyone charges $20-$30 for a signature or photo op.  Kinda takes the shine off...  The couple highlights were that Rock Rebel had a booth, and the rep appreciated me rocking their Creature belt buckle, so he gave me a small discount on their big head Frank shirt I've had my eye on.  All in all I picked up 3 shirts from different vendors.

I also did meet C. Marin Croker, who is the voice of Moltar and Zorak on Space Ghost Coast to Coast, as well as the head animator on the show, as well as Aqua Teen and others.  He only wanted $10 for a signature.  He was happy to sign all over my Space Ghost CD, which is a pretty rare one and seemed impressed to see it.  He was also selling prints for $25, again, signed and customized all over. Super awesome dude all around. I wish I could've sat and hung out with him all day.  And yes, the Creatiki was at his booth!

There you are, in your Creature belt buckle! Who's Creature tiki?

I'm kinda glad I was never interested in autographs. Just one less thing to take my money.

I'm sure the Guinness won't stay "mint in the box" for long. I'm getting thirsty for some reason.

Yeah, I don't usually have a beard, but it's cold outside Florida! Haha.  He had it for sale at his booth, $225.  (But to be honest, I'm pretty sure I can carve one myself, and we have plenty of palms...)  I'm not an autograph hound, this was my first venture, and I legitimately enjoy his work.  PJ Soles wanted $20, the Crypt Keeper guy wanted $35, I didn't see Sid Haig there, but I'm sure he was just as much. No thanks.

However, these guys have Ricou Browning this year, and that might be up your alley, Mr. Scott. http://monsteramacon.com/

You'd think, but not really. Maybe if I were there to get one in person, but even then, meeting the people would mean more to me than their signature. It would be alright as a memento, I guess. I'd never be interested in buying signed photos from ebay, though.
