Childhood Horrors

As a kid, we had horror movie related stuff everywhere.  Halloween was very popular.  The right-wing nutjobs hadn't decided it was evil yet.   Most every cereal box had something monster related inside as the toy surprise.  I remember Universal Monster characters on glow-in-the-dark plastic busts, Basil Golgos Posters, and records with horror stories right on the back of the cereal boxes! In fact  think the records and the posters were glow-in-the-dark too!  Horror movies were on TV every afternoon and Aurora model kits featured all the classic B&W monster movie moments.  Needless to say, I love B&W horror movies.   I would get up extra early to see the horror movies that started on weekends in the middle of the night.  I could catch the last one at 6:00 am before Speed Racer came on.

This Frankie is just for fun.
