Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman~ 8MM Movie by Castle Films, 1960's

Long before the advent of VHS, DVD, Blu Ray, or 4K there existed these primitive little beauties. Reel to reel, and playable on a home projector. While the media itself has become something of a novelty, the artwork on some of these boxes is just amazing. Pure 1960's Americana/Monster Kid goodness. This one might be my tied with The Wolfman as my absolute favorite 8MM box art.

Vincent Price Resin Model Kit by Netherworld

 A Netherworld release. Cast in resin, slightly larger than 1/6 scale. Sculpted by Paul Komoda. Early 1990's release, prior to Price's passing. I used to have the box and instructions sheet, but they were damaged/destroyed in a roof collapse. The title of the piece officially is "Vincent Price: The Corman Years". My nametag and base were all scratched up from the collapse as well. The missus saved Vincent Price when the ceiling came tumbling down.

It might have been Paul Gill, but I honestly cannot recall.
