From seller yellowildflowers on eBay: Ooze-It; a weird (and messy) toy from 1981. Didn't know about this one until now. What happened to all those messy, drippy, oily, pliable, and crushable toys we grew up with? Buy it now price is $999.99. A lot of oozing right there.
The Mexican lobby card for El Gran Gorila (Mighty Joe Young).
Seller flockman54 drives this wonderful A. J. Renzi monster carpool to make us drool.
Here's a cool chiller for your Friday reading, Horror Tales for September 1971. Notice the Barnabas Collins look-alike on the front cover. My favorite story is Cadaver's Revenge. Short, sweet, and crunchy. What's yours?

Ruloscolo on eBay has the three Amigos of Terror, from Argentina, up for grabs. Just look at that blister card illustration. 'Bout time those groovy ghouls got together. Is it just me or does the Frankenstein Monster look like Will Smith?
From seller imnemrac on eBay comes this Grim Reaper Cycle by Ideal, friction motorcycle toy from 1978.
Seller seacheese has been putting these up for auction on eBay. I love the "Do Not Eat" in small print on the package. This theater giveaway for The Brotherhood of Satan has a great graphic on the front of the package. I imagine it would be cool to do this again, along with a midnight showing for the movie, but fill the package with Pop Rocks candy (or maybe even Red Hots) instead of Fright Seeds.
The Monster Times was probably more adept at selling books, posters, and comic-related merchandise to horror, science fiction, and fantasy fans than any other related magazine. Here's The Monster Catalog Number 2 for a nostalgic treat.

So I'm thinking if you're not young and beautiful, you're safe, right? By the 1970s, pressbooks were becoming cut-up and paste efforsts (worst efforts, clever huh) with lurid colors and few pages. This one is a double-sided sheet. That's it. Two beautiful girls stumble onto a ghost ship filled with flesh-eating ghouls. They (the girls) insist on checking it out so they can be devoured as they (the ghouls) check them out. Rescuers arrive for more snacks. And the illustration makes it look like she's fighting little people dead men with rope. In a bikini. Midnight show anyone? And yes, it's those Knights Templars back for more. This is the third installment, El Buque Maldito, in the Blind Dead series. It does have its atmosphere and creep factor, though, so midnight show, anyone?
Remember this one? If not, you're lucky. Who knew laserdisc players were so darn useful for killing zombies AND playing movies?
