BUCK OWENS & THE BUCKAROOS (IT'S A) MONSTERS HOLIDAY ALBUM COVER


The artwork is not signed, but it reminds me of something a junior high kid might draw on his school notebook. The monsters that make up the scab four are Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula, Wolfman and the Hunchback of Notre Dame.



You can listen to Buck's monster tune here.

1957 PHARAOH'S CURSE THEATER CARD



I've owned this card for years, but still haven't seen Pharoh's Curse. After watching the trailer it looks like the perfect film for a showing at Neato Coolville's Astro Drive-In. Watch the trailer here.

The images of the posters and lobby cards below come from Heritage Auctions -

STAN LEE’S MONSTERS TO LAUGH WITH


And you thought the amazing uncanny mighty incredible Stan Lee only worked in comics. Nope, Stan jumped on the monster craze bandwagon of the 1960's and came up with Monsters to Laugh With. We’ll be sharing some of the pages from issues #2 & #3 all month.

FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER LIKES TO WEAR DEVILS TEETH & SCARY NAILS


Probably from the late 1970's is this card of Dr. Frankenstein's best creation sporting some Devils Teeth and some very bloody Scary Nails. The card was missing the Devils Teeth and I removed the Scary Nails so everyone could view the fab Frankie artwork.

MONSTER HEAD RACES III - WIN A BASIL GOGOS SIGNED MUMMY CARD

Welcome to the third annual Monster Head Races! Again, eight famous monster heads have gathered to race a quick 15-second race to find out who is the fastest and ugliest Monster Head.


In a moment you’ll get to pick your favorite scary noodle that you think will win the race tournament. But first, let’s take a look at the prize we’re giving away!

This year you have a chance at winning this -


Any true Famous Monster fan will recognize the Mummy artwork on this 1994 Universal Monsters Illustrated trading card by Topps. The card is illustrated by the great Basil Gogos and was autographed by the master in silver ink. Basil signed this card in 2006 at the San Diego Comic-Con. One lucky person who enters the MHR contest will win this signed trading card. As a special bonus the winner will also receive an autographed 8 X 10 photo of the one and only Vlad!

Now for the rotten rules -

In the comments section below, enter the name of the Monster Head that you think will win the tournament. Last year Saucer Man won and so he’s back to defend his MHR title! You can leave your entry in the comment section using Blogger, Google or OpenID. If you choose to use the Name or Anonymous way to comment, be sure to add your email address with your selection. You can only enter here at Weird Hollow in this post. Please do not enter your selection at any of the other Neato Coolville sites.

Pick one of these Monster Heads - Mr. Hyde, The Bride, Monster from Outer Space, Morlock, Invisible Man, Dr. Phibes, Ymir or the returning champion - Saucer Man.


You must have your selection posted in the comments section no later than Wednesday, October 6th at 11:59 p.m. Central time to be eligible.

Only one guess per person.

This contest is open to all ages and all countries.

All seven races were filmed a few days ago and no one knows the outcome of any race except for me and Vlad and we’re not telling a soul.

If more than one person picks the winning Monster Head, we’ll throw the names of the people with the winning Monster Head into a cauldron and Vlad will randomly pick a winner. If no one picks the winning Monster Head, then we’ll pick a name from everyone who entered the contest.

The first race will air on Thursday October 7th right here on Weird Hollow and the other races will follow every Thursday and Tuesday.

Ghoul luck!
