Oh ya, I had those models too. I seem to remember a Creature From the Black
Lagoon
that had some glow in the dark parts. (I was born in '66) So i do have a soft
spot for
those Universal Monsters as well as memories of watching Creature Features as a
kid, late
on Saturday nights. This was in the S.F. Bay Area. I think the hosts name was
John Stanley
and he smoked a cigar and had a skull candle on the set.
I wanted to give props to Gein and the Graverobbers though, especially around
this time of
the year. Their style is more modern horror, but with trad roots. Maybe more
violent and
menacing, like being chased through the forest by a psychopath wearing a suit
made of
human skin, brandishing a chainsaw. And since I grew up with KISS in the 70's
their whole
zombie make-up/blood and gore schtick sits well with me. I like their drummers
style
too. Jazzmaster and Fender reverb galore. Check'em out if you haven't.

p.s. Has anyone ever covered Tubular Bells? (Exorcist Theme?) Surf style of
course.
