Fan Club Memorabilia 0

[Count Zero]

remember these moon monster ads? im sure you do.

if you joined the horror/monster fan club - for $1 you would receive a 2 piece moon monster poster, 9 monster photos, 3 bonus monster masks, and (my favorite) a monster fan club badge & membership card.

 

i would gladly pay $1 for this today

heck, I'd buy 10!

Very cool

 

definetly. this stuff is so tough to come by these days.

i wish i could have ordered this stuff back in the day - especially that badge and membership card... im a sucker for this mail order monster memorabilia

 

i heard that the bonus 3 masks that were sent with this membership were just pictures of masks on 8 1/2 by 11 sheets of paper - i would love to see those!

[Count Zero]

ah, here we go.

i think these were the paper bonus masks

[Count Zero]

these incredible monster finger puppets were some of the last items aurora molded before closing their doors

[oakman29]

Awesome.

[wombat]

let's keep it going with frankie

 

who's your favorite monster?

 

 

 

That's a really tough question for me. I was such a huge monster fan as a kid. I have to go with Dracula I think.

[oakman29]

There are so many! Phantom of the Opera comes to mind.

[Count Zero]

There are so many! Phantom of the Opera comes to mind.

to this day i still can't choose one

 

invisible man, creature, drac, frankie, wolfman... i can't decide! and those are just the universal monsters. don't get me started on all the ghoulies and beasties that weren't in the mainstream limelight... im sure you've all read plenty of monster mags with a ton of those in there too...

 

there are just way too many for me. as a kid I would make a list of pros and cons of monsters, what I liked about them and what I didn't. (complete with sketches and diagrams too! )

THEN of course I'd go and pick up an all new monster mag and read about some ghoul that I had never even heard of before and I'd have to start the list all over again.

 

ugh

[wombat]

Did anyone have this? I used to play with this for hours.

The Martians and insectoid monsters from my set of Mars Attacks cards are probably at the top of my list, but I'm also partial to the creatures featured in the Topps Outer Limits set as sampled from the wrapper, as featured in Count Zero's avatar. I did like the Aurora Witch from the set of monster models too!

[batmiesta]

Frankie for me.

never got to play with this, but always wanted to!

my goodness, let's not forget all the creatures lurking in trading cards, monster flicks, fan zines, and tv shows. it seems every time I turn around I discover some new monster I never even knew existed! horror hosts would sometimes even invent some sort of ghoul or whatnot just for a 30 second bit! you, know what... this reminds me of a couple really great books by Wayne D Barlowe... "Barlowe's guide to extraterrestrials" & "Barlowe's guide to fantasy"

 

i highly reccomed them, especially the one on extraterrestrials! amazing art!

Marx 1962 "Hootin Hollar" Haunted House:

 

 

 

 

I've been following the marx monster figures for a good while - but I've never looked into purchasing one of these marx haunted houses till now... I had no idea they were so coveted!
