AHI - Dracula Cupped Hands Variant

 Count Dracula (Cupped Hands Variant)
AHI (Azrak-Hamway) (1973-76)

by one of the factories that made
figures for AHI. No carded examples
are known to exist.

Glenn Strange - Frankenstein Kitbash!

 Glenn Strange Resin Kit
XO-Facto/Fatman Productions
1/6 Scale



This is a kitbash of three different kits.
The base was made by Fatman Productions,
sculpted by Steve Riojas. I added the row
of large stone blocks at the bottom of the
wall in order to make it a little taller.
I fabricated the torches from Sculpey,
candle flicker LEDs, copper plate, and tubing.
The figure was made from the head and arms
from an XO-Facto "Glenn Strange" kit sculpted
by Jeff Yagher in 2018. The body was from an
XO-Facto "Frankenstein at the dock" kit 
sculpted by Jeff Yagher in 2013. A lot of
fitting, grinding, and re-sculpting was
required to make it all work.

Monster Mask Book

 Monster Mask Book
Lowe (1963)
9 x 12 inches


This is an extremely rare piece 
of ephemera. Just about every one
of these books got torn apart by
kids that wanted to wear the masks,
so very few survived intact.
I can't be sure, but the cover art
looks like the work of Gray Morrow
who did a lot of covers for
the magazine "Eerie" in the 1960's.
