Frankenstein Drinking Glass

 Frankenstein Drinking Glass
Unknown Manufacturer (1983)
7 inches tall


This glass is from a Halloween party
put on by Delta Sigma Phi and Alpha Phi 
in 1983. I think "Green Fog" refers to 
the tasty drink that came in it.
I am not sure what college this is from,
extensive googling led to no conclusion.
This has to be an extremely rare item.
How many of these glasses did they 
have made, and how many even survived
that party at all. I'm guessing not many!!
Most were probably smashed by 
drunken frat boys and sorority girls.

Vampira with Satan's Cheerleaders LP

 Vampira with Satan's Cheerleaders LP
Toxic Toast (2021)


This is the "Blood Splatter" Vinyl 
version limited to 100 copies.
Vampira was not a vocalist,
so this is more of a spoken word
over cool music type of deal.
Most of the tracks can be found
on Youtube if you want a taste.

Vampira Kit Update - Trees Added!!

 Vampira in Graveyard Resin Kit
Monsters From The Woods (2010)

I have already made a post about this kit
previously, but thought i would show an
updated pic with the trees that i added to it.
The kit was really crying out for this addition.
It makes it look much more complete and is
accurate to the scene in the Edward D. Wood Jr.
 masterpiece "Plan 9 From Outer Space". :)

Polar Lights / Bowen Designs "The Wolf Man"

 "The Wolf Man" Resin Kit
Polar Lights / Bowen Designs (1998)
1/4 Scale



This kit was sculpted by Randy Bowen.
It is made of cold cast porcelain resin

Jimmy Flintstone - Frankenstein Bust

 P'gosh Jug Frank
Jimmy Flintstone studios (2021)
1/3 Scale

Jimmy Flintstone sells these heads as shifter knobs.
The base (also made by Flintstone) is resin 
and painted to look like rusty metal.
The spark plugs are real and the piston is
from a keychain. The sculpt is taken from
the artwork of Doug P'gosh (from Retro-a-go-go!)
titled "Big Frank's Spare Parts".
This was a lot of fun to paint and build!!

Son of Frankenstein Resin Kit

 Son of Frankenstein
Monsters From The Woods (2020)
1/6 Scale

 
Sculpted by Jeff Yagher.
The kit came with plastic chains that
were really brittle and kept cracking,
so i made my own by bending copper
wire and soldering the links together.
The original rings at the bottom of the
chains were rubber o-rings, so i made
those out of copper wire as well.

Silent Screen Classics - Phantom Bust

Phantom of the Opera
Silent Screen Classics (2008)
1/4 Scale Bust
 
 
Sculpted by Mark Van Tine.

This is a really cool kit, but very

difficult to paint because the head isn't

separate from the torso. Trying to get a

brush in between the collar and neck 

is a real challenge. I would say

this kit is actually more like 

1/3.5 scale. It is a little bigger than

other 1/4 scale kits in my collection.

at the Horror World convention
in Japan back in 1985.
