Monsterpalooza 2015

Another successful Monsterpalooza occurred this weekend.  In Burbank, California, only minutes away from Universal Studios where such classics as "Frankenstein", "Dracula", and "The Wolf Man" were filmed, monster fans from all around the world join together and celebrate the art of the monsters.  Below are some of my favorite pieces from the show.

Lifesize Aurora Wolf Man

Lifesize Aurora Mummy

Lifesize Aurora Frankenstein

The Unholy Three

From "Gremlins 2"

The Gunslinger from "Westworld"

The Caretaker from Disneyland's "The Haunted Mansion."

From "Evil Dead II"

A Mr. Sardonicus Puppet!

Uncle Forry's AckerMansions!

I love this art of a dvd I found on ebay.  Not only does it feature Forry and some great monsters, but it's inspired by the Haunted Mansion Disneyland Attraction Poster!

Haunted Mansion Comic

Here is a short comic from 1969 of Disneyland's "The Haunted Mansion". Also take notice as to what's playing on TV in the article!

Monsters Love Disneyland

I love this photo because it combines my two favorite things: Monsters and Disneyland.

They all have remarkable heads for materializing

the disembodied.

40 Years of Grim Grinning Ghosts

I have decided to move away from horror in the film world for this post.  Today we will be looking at one of the most amazing attractions to ever be imagineered.  That is "The Haunted Mansion" at Disneyland, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year!

Welcome Foolish Mortals!

"Is this haunted room actually stretching?"

"Perhaps Madame Leota can establish contact.

She has a remarkable head for materializing

the disembodied!"

"They're establishing for a swinging wake!"

"Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize!"

"Beware of hitchhiking ghosts!"
