In Freddie's own words:

These are very rare and seldom seen images from my personal collection.

These are images in a Universal Motion Picture Herald, a ballyhoo teaser before the actual movie came out. I own a copy of that magazine 1935. Monsters From the Vault magazine did a Bride of Frankenstein issue and used these images as the title page of the article.

You'll see my name in the photo credits.

I'm absolutely drooling over this collection.  I've been trying to find a few favorites but it's like picking between water and air.  I need and want it all!

[Hepcat]

Yes, Freddie has a fabulous collection! The Astro Spook costume above is among my personal favourites from the stash he's accumulated over the last few decades.

Freddie just found this old magazine rack by the side of the road:



It proved ideal for displaying his collection of Amazing Stories magazines!
