Robert Crumb Valentine Cards Topps (1965). These “Monster Greeting Cards” for Topps in 1965, functioned as humorous, novelty Valentine’s cards or “insult cards”. They feature his full-color cartoon artwork on the front and a joke photo on the reverse. #Valentine #HorrorFamily

Dante’s Inferno was a dark ride, Haunted attraction created in 1971 by Anton Schwarzkopf that was located at Astroland on Coney Island. The passenger rides in a bumper car-like device and is sent through a maze of dark hallways. #DarkRide #HauntedHouse

@ScottBeadle777 Thanks for the info. It seemed so strange to only have the two.

@hauntorama No, it was only these two. The exclusion of Peter and Mike added to the internal strife that eventually broke up the band, and the costume episode remains a sore point that’s still in litigation in the Culver City court system.

The Monkres vintage Halloween costumes. I’ve only been able to fine a Davy and Micky costume. Does anyone know if they made all four members? #halloween #halloweencostume #themonkees #davyjones #mickydolenz

Did anyone ever order their “life size” monsters from these types of ads. Probably the most famous one would be the Jack Davis Frankenstein Monster (first pic). #vintagemonstertoys #horrorcommunity #vintageadvertising #horrortoys #horrorfamily
