Don Post Calendar Mask, 1998: Frankenstein's Monster~ Glenn Strange Version

 In 1998, Don Post Studios re-visited their most famous series of masks; The Universal Monsters series.

They were (unofficially) called the "Calendar Masks".

Each mask in this re-release was limited to 498 editions.  

There were two versions of the Frankenstein Monster mask. A Boris Karloff Version ; which I featured in an earlier post, and a Glenn Strange Version, which I have photographed below.

This mask sports the original factory paint and hair. Alas, he has began to experience a bit of the dreaded "mask rust", and may have to be refurbished in a few more years.  A beautiful mask, as most in this series are.

Like any good monster kid, I also collect movie monster items. In addition to consuming said items, I also contribute to the hobby, as a free lance painter. Having done work for Distinctive Dummies, Creatures and Shadows Studios, Brentz Dolz and many others. Who knows, you may have some of my work in your own collection.       The monster kid era began in the 1960's and ran well into the late 1970's. In 1977; Peter Cushing retired his stakes, crosses, and Holy Water, and went to work holding Darth Vader's temper in check instead. Vincent Pric
