MONSTERS ARE SO SILLY (PUTTY)

From the crypt of the late 1970's comes monster putty in the form of Frankenstein Glow Putty and Dracula Glow Putty by Larami Toys. The card art could have fit perfectly on any of Marvel’s horror mags from the 1970's. Actually the artwork looks like the work of the great Pablo Marcos who is best known for his work on The Tales of the Zombie and Conan the Barbarian.





Just for fun and not to let any monster feel left out, here’s a Silly Putty “lift” of the Wolfman.

VAMPIRE CAVEGIRL SNAPSHOT

At first glance you think this trick or treater is dressed as a regular caveman. When you look closer you’ll notice that this kid is wearing a Topstone Vampire Girl mask.


Wow, talk about an original costume. The kid was probably the only Vampire Cavegirl on the block. Looks like the kid is flexing some muscles with that giant bone. Is there meat hanging off of it? If that’s the case, Vampire Cavegirl probably had a parade of dogs that followed her on Halloween night.

Here’s some original Famous Monster magazine ads and links for this classic Topstone mask.
