I-Mockery Pays A Visit To Monsterpalooza!
by: -RoG-

...CONTINUED


They may not be Muppets...


...but I'm sure Jim Henson would approve nonetheless.


Fly Guy is a snappy dresser!


SCIENCE!


Some more life-sized monsters on display...


...and more yet again.


Kenneth J. Hall, creator of the Puppet Master series... and this promotional sign!


Tim Martin does some nifty masks. I'm particularly fond of the one that looks like a zombie emerging from a swamp.


Return of the Living Dead poster autographed by the entire cast.


Scream Queen, Linnea Quigley live and in person and... enjoying some Robeks juice! It's true!
Celebrities really are like real people! They eat food and drink liquids just like we do! Not sure if they poop though...


More Monster mags along with the classic Famous Monsters Speak album.


A variety of soundtracks from horror and sci-fi films including Killer Klowns from Outer Space.


You never know when you'll need a good vampire killing kit.
Personally, I'd love to test this out on anybody involved with the "Twilight" films.


I really liked this miniature monster mask display, but I don't think it was for sale.


Definitely one of the best scenes at the whole event. Leatherface standing in a room filled with bones
and feathers scattered all over the place. Kudos to whoever took the time to put this together.


KOOOOOOOOOOOONG!


What time is it? Time to find yourself a new clock that isn't thinking about murdering you.


Jonathan Winters rocks... as does his hat.


Some more impressive monster sculpture work. I can't even make a decent looking ashtray with Sculpy.


This is what I want a room in my home to look like... minus the two blurry old guys.


So much monstertastic goodness all in this one display case. Fun too look at, but they were overpriced.
I actually have some of those old trading card sets... will have to photograph them for a feature later on.


More awesome, vintage monster goodies and magic tricks including some Svengali trading cards!

There's much more Monsterpalooza madness to see!

Is that Dr. Phibes I see on page two? Awesome.

I think the "eerie accountant" is supposed to be the 10th Doctor from Dr. Who, judging by the TARDIS at the base, but it's not a very good likeness.

Especially dug the old Imagineering stuff. Today's Halloween makeup, even if it's technically superior, will never match the charm of this line. All they needed was a Kooky Spooks costume to really capture the essence of Halloween in the 80s.

(P.S. I've been waiting for a site like this to do a piece on Kooky Spooks for a long time, if anyone is qualified, it's you guys.)

Nah, I didn't buy the soundtrack because I had already seen it cheaper on eBay. I spent $60 on this bad boy instead:

Sounds like a Monster-Mash...
I'll bet it was a graveyard smash!


Sorry, I had to.

That's a very cool show.
And you even got to see Jonathan Winters!

Are you able to take Sam's mask off to reveal what is underneath, like they (surprisingly) did in the movie?

DIE ZOMBIES KOMMEN made me laught, I don't quite know why.

That proton pack is enviable. You couldn't pry me away from even just looking at it very easily, let me tell you.

Absolutely no idea why, but the picture that made me nearly piss myself? Surprised Kong. Oh and that really IS a creepy ten. God knows what an eleven would look like!

Holy crap. I didn't think Jonathan Winters was still alive *laughs* Great to hear, but damn.

Truer words were never spoken.

Also, can someone identify the critter *behind* "Another solid Frankenstein" on page 5. I'm curious.
I like cheese.

When I saw the Frankenstein and Bride Pez dispensers on page 3, I immediately thought of you and Re. lol

Does the mask part come off to reveal Sam's true appearance? If not it's still freaking cool and I think would be a great Halloween accessory in any haunted house

It does come with a little treat bag that he carries around, don't think there's any real candy in it. I wouldn't dare steal his candy anyway. Sam has a real mean streak you know...

Yep, you can remove the burlap sack mask to see his true face. The detail is super nice, but I don't wanna post it here in case other people haven't already seen the flick yet.

Yeah, I think it was an animatronic puppet actually. It kept asking me for its medication despite my repeatedly telling it, "Sir, I don't have any pills for you!"

I love how next to the partially devoured lady corpse is a bag of beef jerky. Delicious.
