Stark Terror #2 - The Devil Walks On Halloween


I wish my scanner was big enough to scan this whole image at one time, but I wish a lot of things. One of the other things I wish is that you have a Happy Halloween...

See you on the dark, deserted streets of my imagination...

As promised, another tale from Stark Terror #2.




Yes, you saw that coming, but then you see Halloween coming every year and you don't scoff at that, do you? I hope not, for your sake. Demons and ghosts are real. I know them well...

But then, sometimes, wishes do come true. (Thanks, Frederick!)
Goodbye for now.

MP-TV's Spook Stuff For Hallowe'en


Found a beat-up but playable copy of MP-TV's Spook Stuff For Hallowe'en, this is it. Same record as Howlin' Halloween, different cover, copyrighted same year(1960). Why do different covers exist? I don't know. I monkee'd with the track separation a bit, you won't mind. Or will you? I can never tell with you...
Yes, sir!

I Am Nostalgic (Purple) - Horror Monsters #7, Famous Original Mash Monsters Speak

In 1971 my family moved to a new subdivision, so new that our house was the last house on the block and there were only five houses. It was around this time I saw all the classic Universal monster films on the Channel 39 8:00 Monday(!)Night Movie. I also saw a 16mm print of Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein in the most incongruous situation, at the Meadows Community Center on a sunny Saturday afternoon with the sounds of screaming kids playing in the pool outside competing with Lou Costello's screaming inside. So for the sake of nostalgia, here's a(rather crappy-looking)A&CMF filmbook from Horror Monsters #7, followed by more childhood reveries...

I know I posted this Cult Of Horror ad before, but...

Sorry, couldn't resist!













The first copy of this I ordered from Captain Company came broken in two, so I had to wait 12-16 weeks total to get this record! You only have to wait a few minutes! This record actually scared me a little bit at the time...
The Monster Mash charted three times from 1962(#1)to 1973, the second being in 1970, which is when I first heard it. Finally, a record that spoke to the monster(rock 'n' roll)kid in me! I didn't get the lp until sometime later(my digital camera conked out before I could get a picture of the cover), but you get it now!...

Dell Mad Monster Party Movie Classic


Since he did the character design for the movie, wouldn't it have been awesome if Jack Davis had drawn this book? Yes, it would've. No, I am not in a good mood...














To Be Concluded...
