Thanks for the info. It's a real shame they didn't stay in business a LOT longer. Just think of all the great card sets they could have done. I really wish they would have at least done the Zombie Movie Classics set. Some what if? sets from Good Stuff Cards might be:

Harryhausen Dynamation
Vampire Movie Classics
Eurohorror Classics
Sci-Fi Aliens
Werewolf Movie Classics
James Whale's Horror Masterpieces

The list goes on and on.

R.I.P. Good Stuff Cards.  :(

Hammer Horror Series 2 (Cornerstone, 1996) is an 81 card base set (82-162) continuing on the numbering of the first set from the previous year. These are very nicely done and include several chase cards including a few autograph cards. Some of mine are shown below.

 I have that Universal Kitchen Sink set. It is so well done that I often use it as reference (love the lobby card stickers, too). I still have to pick up those Hammer sets. Though I don't really bother with the chase cards. Some of them are nice, but too much trouble (and money) to round up. I really don't care for the gimmick of "chase" anything (especially cards & figures).

I like the Kitchen Sink set, too! One of my favorites! Don't recall if I have any chase cards? Probably mot.

 From what I recall, the chase cards were of the actual horror actors. They were very nice & probably worth getting. There was also a mail in premium metallic card (I think it was Bride of Frankenstein). Dealers were asking $50 for that one when they first came out.

Oh yeah! I don't have those. Nice though! Don't have the Bride, either.

Scary Monsters Scare-Cards (Druktenis, 1993-1995) were randomly placed in a few issues of Scary Monsters magazine a few years ago as premiums. I'm not sure how many were made or what comprises a complete set, but here are scans of mine.

Scary Monsters Movie Parody Cards (Druktenis, 1994) is a 36 card set intended as humorous parodies of various monster movies with art by Ronn Foss. I never cared much for these, but I collect all things Scary Monsters so here are cards 1-9 of my set.

Tor Johnson Maximum Horror Cards (Good Stuff Cards, 1999) is a 10 card set of postcard size cards with illustrations by Tony Nazar on the front and text backs. This is the weakest Good Stuff Cards offering, but hey...it's Tor. Still a fun and unusual set. Limited to 1,000 numbered sets.

Cards 1-4:
