Monster Movie Posters: "Dr. Jekyll vs. The Wolf Man"

I have never seen this movie.  It is most likely a terrible picture.  I just thought it was interesting that they used the Lon Chaney Wolf Man for the movie poster.

A Thriller of a Portrait

Michael Jackson was not only the King of Pop, but a very talented artist too.  Here is a sketch he made of the Frankenstein Monster.  Michael Jackson was a true monster kid at heart!

Sanctuary!

This is the Notre Dame Cathedral facade on the Universal backlot for the 1923 version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame."

No detail is spared.

This is a publicity shot of Glenn Strange as the Frankenstein Monster from "House of Frankenstein".

Let's Start The Week With A Laugh!


Lon and Moose

Lon Chaney always brought his dog Moose to the set.  Moose actually played the wolf that bit Lon Chaney in "The Wolf Man".  Look how much they love each other!

Luminators - Phantom of the Opera

The Aurora kits were re-released in the early 1990s as Luminators.  Many of my monster models are from this re-release.
