universal 1991 hamilton monsters?

[Unknown Primate]

Indeed!  LOBC is one of my favorite "go-to" flicks - very near & dear (and fear) to my heart.  Have you read THE BEAST OF BOGGY CREEK by Lyle Blackburn?  Great book!  Covers the entire history of The Fouke Monster.  Blackburn is a damn good writer (and frontman for the band, "GHOULTOWN", too.)

That poster's freakin' cool!

[hugohernandez]

HEY Unknown Primate, even your name alludes to the Hairy Bi-peds.   YES, I loved Lyle's book and we have traded quite a few emails after I ordered and read his book.   I also was able to get a 4 page pressbook release which shows not only my poster size but a boggy creek stand up cut out.
Lyle posted on his facebook if anybody had this stand up cut out, some guy did but he never did post his picture of it.
I think the guy just wanted some attention.   
PS, I went to see LOBC at the theatre possibly 8 times in two weeks, own 2 vhs versions, both with different art covers, and of course, 2 dvd versions, one is super super clear and bright, best copy ever.    I wrote an amazon review saying which dvd release is the best.


anyway if you want to read a book that will raise the hair on your neck, check out Stan Gordon's Silent Invasion.

whoa, that book gives me the frights every time i read it and I have read it cover to cover 3 times now.   Not for the faint of Hairy Bi-peds hearts.
You are an Indiana boy like me.   I hail from good ol' steel mill town of GARY.
home to Micheal Jackson Gary, sung in the movie The Music Man song GARY INDIANA!!!!

Hoosier buddy, I am!!!

Yep!  You're about 90-100 miles north!

what? I thought Lafayette was close to the lake.

keep in touch, bro.

hope you decide on the mini mothman.

[hugohernandez]

Unknown Primate, have to ask if you collect the Myth or Real cards?
circa 1994 card no. 2 is MOMO!!!

check out the illustration, complete with dog!!!!   yup, I carry in my wallet at all times.

another book Creatures from the Edge covers the whole Momo experience.

[hugohernandez]

my mistake on book title, should be Creatures of the Outer Edge by Loren Coleman.
check it off if you want some difinitive research on the hairy cryptid phenomena that seems to have blossomed in the mid seventies... hence the big reception for LOBC.

[hugohernandez]

Unknown Primate, just emailed Lyle and he told me he has the original Oil Painting of the Boggy Creek Poster.
waiting for him to send me a link.

meanwhile enjoy this pic of home made mothman ornament.

of course its called a Mothball.   LOL.

LOVE the Mothman ornament HH!! I am also a huge fan of crypto creatures, and live near Whitehall NY where Bigfoot is sighted regularly. We used to live really close to Whitehall and I am sure I saw the Big Guy one day watching me grill from the treeline about 1000 ft away.

Maybe you're thinking of LaPorte.  We have been to the Indiana Dunes, though.

Yes, on the cards - keep them in a baseball card binder!  They're pretty neat!

Haven't read that particular book by Coleman, but I've read a few others of his.  Really like his style.  Also, enjoy some of the "high strangeness" writings of Keel and Nick Redfern.

That's really cool that you keep in touch with Blackburn.  Love GHOULTOWN, too.

The "Mothball" is freakin' awesome!

Hey thanks for the love on the Mothball.   He is hanging on my vintage silver aluminum tree, will get a pic later.
don't know if you collect crypto figures, kinda hard to find.   check out the link for Clawmarktoys dot com, they got a cool little miniature moth man, rare wine color edition.   I got two of them already and I keep this boxed set at the office.    the quarters taped to the boxed set are of course, WEST VIRGINIA, Pennsylvania and now I should get a NY as another area of high strangeness.    I believe you when you say he was watching you.    spooky for sure.     You got any crypto creatures, would love to see them.

Yeah the dunes are very nice and a perfect home for hairy cryptids to stay.     I lived in Miller Indiana which is surrounded by the dunes and there is enuf scary stuff
going on in those dark woods at night from the local legend of "the guy in white levi's" named because people would see him roaming the high dunes at night and once he came down and pressed his face to the picture window on my friends family's house gawking at the teenage daughter, she turned and saw him and let out a bloody scream....  they never caught this guy but living right by those woods was a thrill for me, mostly.
lets keep this crypt page going!!!
show me your crypts!!

[hugohernandez]

Unknown Primate, I got the original hardcover for Mothman Prophecies and I have read some other of the Keel books.
Also got a super rare copy of Visitors from Lanulus.

If you remember Woodrow Derenberger from Mothman Pro, this is his book.

Also got a copy of The Silver Bridge... all 1st editions.     

just a little enthusiastic I guess.

Oh Lyle said he has not posted the pic yet, I asked him to let me know so I can post it here for all you crypts!

[Unknown Primate]

You should start a new thread featuring CRYPTID COLLECTIBLES.  Everyone could showcase their "other" monsters!  I'll donate - although my stuff is mostly "customized" figures I made.

sounds like a good idea but where would I start it?  I don't think they have a vintage toys cryptids column..

suggestions?

plus would love to see your customized figures.
start a thread for us and I can reshow my collectibles!

[Unknown Primate]

Just started a new thread in MODERN MONSTER TOYS called Cryptid Collectibles.  If it needs to be moved to another spot, I'll leave that to the Magnificent Monster Mods to make it right!  Start posting!!
