Mezo 2001 Silent Screamers action figure line. Nosferatu from the 1922 film The figure goes for exaggerated proportions but as the original design started with these, it fits with the limbs and torso. Also they went to town with the rats on the base. Good purchase for vampire fans.

MEZCO 2001 SILENT SCREAMERS REEL MONSTERS LINE

EDISON'S FRANKENSTEIN 1910

This is kind of a neglected gem for me. It’s supposed to be based on the Frankenstein monster from the one-reel Thomas Edison version of the story. It strangely has the hair as a fur collar instead of on the monster's head and is a lot more graphic in its detail. Yet it’s a wonderful monster design of this twisted thing with gangly limbs which sets it apart and makes it unique. Also comes with a skull, 2 books and 2 broken bottle accessories. For horror figure fans, this is worth seeking out. #toyphotography #actionfigure #actionfigurephotos #actionfigurephotography #actionfigurephotographer #toyphoto #toypic #toyphotography #toyphotographer #actionfigures #toys #toycollector #toycommunity #actionfigurecommunity #toyinstagram #actionfiguresdisplay #articulatedalliance #actionfiguresdisplayout.

just a reminder - do NOT boycott streaming services or not watch new things. the unions have not called for one for a reason. for one, it affects residual payments, which as minimal as those currently are, actors are still getting them during this time, and for two, studios will use lack of viewership as an excuse to cancel shows because you are showing them there is no demand. it deeply affects the industry the writers and actors stand to come back to once the strike is over

The House of the Creature

‘From Universal-International in an alternate Universe in 1957. From the studio that brought you House of Frankenstein and House of Dracula, the new shock-sensation of the Atom Age. The House of the Creature. Scientists gathered these monstrosities together to reach the stars. But all together, they could end the world of man.’ Coming soon to a theatre or drive-in somewhere in a multiverse.

From the pages of SPECTAGORIA magazine issue 6, 1974. Spectagoria was a renowned underground fashion photography magazine surrounded by rumor and mystery. Founded by iconoclastic photographer/filmmaker Sera Clairmont initially as a showcase of her own work, the publication drew controversy for its dark themes and morbid imagery, which often used beauty, sexuality, and fashion as a means to, in Clairmont’s words, “let speak the darkness that surrounds us from other worlds.”

Christian groups in the United States called for a ban of the magazine, with Jerry Falwell accusing Clairmont of being “a witch and a pornographer in league with the devil himself.” Clairmont dismissed the accusations as “just more blatant examples of the sexism and double-standards that led me to forge my own path in a male-dominated industry.” But the boycott drew scrutiny to the magazine’s photographs, which at times contained images that seemed impossible, even supernatural, in nature. Some wondered if Sera Clairmont was related to Seraphina Clairmont, the famous Manhattan mystic who “spoke to demons” and lived at the mysterious Zorovic Building at the turn of the 20th century, and was rumored to have been buried alive in the building’s 1913 destruction.

Sera Clairmont went into hiding in 1976, but continued to publish Spectagoria until the early 80s, growing stranger and darker with each issue, fueling even more speculation that otherworldly powers were behind it before its abrupt end. No one knew where it was being published from, nor where - or *how* - its photos were taken. Very few copies of each issue of Spectagoria were printed, and today only a handful of scattered pages have been located and scanned. I will continue to share more pages as I find them...

In the 1800s a troupe of actors invested in a floating theatre that sank with all hands. Now on summer evenings, by the rivers and waterways they appear to give performances that creep into the dreams of those sleeping nearby, if there is no audience. #picturewantsastory

Diamond Select Gotham Barbara Kean with base

A good design for the figure, but the movement feels a bit limited. Admittedly it’s a figure that’s going to be overshadowed by the Arkham Asylum scenery it comes with.

Marvel Legends Puma

An 1980 Spider-Man character who seems to be ignored these days. Has a nice design and good posing potential. Maybe not an essential purchase, but fun to get.

Way way back I drew a comic explaining what we really mean by ‘The Autism Spectrum’ and posted it here back when Tumblr was Huge. Then the comic really blew up!! Last year I did a remake of the comic, with some updated language, and using Mia, a character from a graphic novel I made. Figured I’d share for Autism Acceptance Month!

Trap Door Berk, Boni, Drutt and the worm

by Nema Studios

‘Somewhere in the dark and nasty regions where nobody goes, stands an ancient castle.’

‘Deep within this dank and uninviting place, lives Berk.’

“Ullo”

‘Overworked servant to the thing upstairs.’

“BERK! FEED ME!’

‘But that’s nothing compared to the horrors that lurk beneath the trap door. For there is always something down there, in the dark, waiting to come out.’

A limited set, the only movement in is Berk’s arms, but nice if you remember the show.

The ending of supernatural circuses and carnivals around the world left cursed performers seeking homes. They would audition for theatres or perform in the street. Eventually these orphans formed the Chaos Carousel Corporate Event company offering truly unique team building exercises. #picturewantsastory

The Yuki-onna looked out from the cab. The European count had been right. The city didn’t believe in her and had vast numbers of people left out in the cold. So desperate, they would get in her cab, to be fatally drained of their warmth. #picturewantsastory

In return, for the town's prosperity through time, the costumed dolls had to be stored in the cellars below. Every so often, somebody would disappear and a new doll would be in the cellars. The town developed its own language to cover these disappearances. ‘Got dolled up’ or ‘gone to the cellar.’ Then they would never mention it again. #picturewantsastory
