The Mummy~ 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.  Universal had some of the coolest artwork on their releases through Castle. This one is amazing.

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. I got a replacement brass plate made, and slapped it on a larger piece of marble. It's a really nice kit. I am unsure who painted this one, as I sent it off. for paint and assembly. It might have been Paul Gill, but I honestly cannot recall.
