The Best Monster Toy Ever?

I'd say so!  It's the official photo of the Aurora Frankenstein model.  The first in the popular line of Aurora Monster Models!

An Update

Hello Friends!  

I just wanted to give an update about the future of the Classic Movie Monsters Blog!  I know I have not been posting as much, but I plan on changing that in the near future.  I still have a ton of things to post and I also have some new ideas for different kinds of Monster content!  So keep an eye for things to come and I hope you all have a wonderfully horrific 2019!

The photo below is a painting done by the one and only Basil Gogos, featuring Boris Karloff and his Frankenstein Monster!

Portrait of a Monster

This is my favorite portrait of the Frankenstein Monster as portrayed by Boris Karloff.

A Rare Photograph

Just when I thought I have seen every photograph of Boris Karloff as the Frankenstein Monster, a new one (to me) popped up for auction through Profiles in History!

From "Bride of Frankenstein".

Back to Pierce and Karloff

I'm not positive which role Jack Pierce is making Karloff up for in this photo.  Anyone have any ideas?

Jack Working Away

Oh how I would love to wander inside his workshop!

Inside the Workshop

Boris Karloff and Jack Pierce discuss ideas to bring the Frankenstein Monster to life.

Pierce Transforms Karloff

Jack Pierce transforms Boris Karloff into the undead Egyptian of 3,500 years ago in "The Mummy".

How neat would it be to own a real life Karloff autograph?

Still the Best

I truly believe that the make-up for the Monster in the original "Frankenstein" is the best to ever be achieved.
