I-Mockery Pays A Visit To The 2011 Monsterpalooza In Burbank!
by: -RoG-

...CONTINUED


A variety of mini-busts.


Crowds lurching around Monsterpalooza.


A collection of vintage Topstone mailaway Halloween monster masks.


Some more vintage goodies such as a Dangling Skeleton, the Monster Calendar, and a Scooba-Doo doll.


Various monster novelties, mini-figures, buttons, and even a pack of Fleer Monster Marks which
were a lot like the Topps Disgusting Disguises set I featured a while back.


Gotta love the classic lenticular monster rings.


Wow... I was really surprised to see a set of Creeple Peeple to go with the Mattel Thingmaker.
In case you've never heard of it, this set allowed you to make your own crazy little molded monsters
which you then used to decorate your pencils with or you could wear them as jewelry.


Why so blue?


New takes on the classic Wizard of Oz characters. I really liked the steampunk tin man.


Creepy O'Clock.


Kinda makes you feel bad for the clean-up crew.


Almost looks like that head-shrinker from Beetlejuice.


Wolfing out.


I never knew vampires had floral crotches.


Pumpkinhead dares you to carve him like a jack-o-lantern.


See? Just because you drink bottled water, that doesn't mean you're going to live a long, healthy life.


More gore.


The one on the right almost resembles the gremlin from the Twilight Zone movie.


Lil' brain.


Skulls & monsters in the blacklight.


More blacklight ghouls.


His roots continue to grow.

There's much more Monsterpalooza madness to see!

Oh, and about the gothic babe (zombie w/big boobs) maybe you find an explanation here:

Her name is Dahlia Dark, and apparently, she's a big fan of Pee Wee too!

Honestly, if Dahlia Dark didn't have her boobs out of her shirt, I would want that picture sooo bad! (nothing against boobs, just not something I'd want in my living room).

Thanks for taking all the photos! For those of us who can't make it to these events, your reviews are the next best thing.

Man that alternate Freddy design was awesome. It's like they took Freddy and somehow made him "freddier." Unfortuantely the guys in charge of the new line remakes don't have a clue. We get stuck with pervy mush-face instead.

Holy crap. The pic of the supernaturals toy just answered a question i've had for years, namely what the hell were those toys called.

The topless voodoo lady looks like the witch from Chaka Zulu.

The A-Z diorama is based on Edward Gorey's "The Gashlycrumb Tinies" but it looks like they're the "after" pictures to go with the "befores" he drew: http://nac.tamu.edu/x075bb/poems/gorey/
