 Looks a little like Alfred E. Neuman as the monster.

Looks a little like Alfred E. Neuman as the monster.

Yeah.  Funny, they didn't use the same image on both button and Iron-On.

Adam, have we seen a "Show Your Monster Rooms" selection of photos of your Frankenstein collection?

Adam, have we seen a "Show Your Monster Rooms" selection of photos of your Frankenstein collection?

Nope.  Don't have a monster room.  I hope to change that in the not too distant future.  If I do, I'll post some pictures.

Don't have a monster room.

You don't need a specified room, of course. You can just take pics of your things wherever they are.

Here are some TV monster give-aways:

Pepsi and Nick At Night teamed up to produce these Munsters masks that were given out at Target department stores to promote "Halloween Boo Bash", 1995.  They were to be cut out and worn like glasses.


Grandpa and Herman.



Lilly and Eddie.



The back.

Another mask:

This cut-out mask was to given away to promote 1980's midnight showings of the 1977 film "Eraserhead".

Not really a monster movie?  I contend that any movie that can contain the line, "Mother, they're still not sure it IS a baby!", should qualify.

[Gossamer]

Those Munster Masks are really fun!  Seems like an odd item for 1995.   A lot of folks others than us monster kids would have forgotten all about the Munster gang by then. And younger kids most likely wouldn't even know who they were.

Another questionable mask:

"The Return of Chandu" may not be strictly a monster movie, but anything featuring a 1934 Bela Lugosi film is aces with me.



(Ya gotta wonder how many kids actually watched the movie through the mask eye holes.)

"The Return of Chandu" may not be strictly a monster movie, but anything featuring a 1934 Bela Lugosi film is aces with me.

Most Monsterkids are into related genres such as Mystery, Action/Adventure, Exploitation, etc. There are a lot of things that cross similar genres and blur the lines. All of this should be welcome on a monster oriented site.

[Mike Scott]

I wonder how many times an actor played the villain in the first movie and the title hero in the follow-up? (I'm guessing not many.)

Here are some interesting generic monster toys from Taco Bell restaurants in 2003.  They are called "Creature Crypts" and each figure comes in whatever they might have been buried in.  By working a lever located at the bottom the monster could be made to spring erect in his coffin, crate, etc.

The Figures:

Wolvadian Close-Up:

Haha!  I guess I must have been wearing my ginger-tinted glasses when reading the original post.
