CASTLE DRACULA FUN HOUSE COLORFORMS

Some of my favorite toys as a child were the many Colorform playsets I had. Castle Dracula Fun House was one I especially loved. What set this one apart from the others was the working doors in which you could hide the cartoonish versions of the famous Universal monsters behind, so you could torment the goofy guy in the ugly pajamas. I would like to know the artist name. I wish I knew what happened to my set, I would love for my 4 ear old great-nephew to play with it. You can click on the photos for a larger look.

A mainstay of monster kid life, in the 60s, 70s and early 80s, was the monster magazines and trading cards that featured stills from classic horror films with funny captions and speech balloons added. I decided to try my hand at creating some new versions this summer when I was bored. I posted these on the Facebook site and got some positive results. I plan to create more for the Countdown to Halloween.
