CALLING ALL STATIONS, CLEAR THE AIRLANES, CLEAR ALL AIRLANES, FOR THE BIG BROADCAST!!!


The Son of Svengoolie show was big influence on my love of monsters and horror films. The show was a local Chicagoland comedic TV horror host program that ran from '79 through '86. As a kid I never missed an episode and was introduced to some true classic (and not so classic) monster flicks. Sven came back on the air in the 90's, dropping the "Son of" and simply going by his namesake, Svengoolie. The show is still going strong today and I try to catch it every Saturday night.

The action figure used in this shot was custom made by me about 10 years ago. It was one of the first custom figures I ever made. A photo of the figure was shown on an episode of Svengoolie's show back in 2000.

Huge thanks to kingdufus who allowed me to use his great shot of the Svengoolie set, seen here, as my background in this shot.

Here's Johnny!



What good would Monster Month be without an appearance from Jack Torrance?

I can't tell you how much I was looking forward to this shoot. The door was completely made from scratch. It isn't an exact replica, but I think close enough for an effective illusion.

More creeps to come all month!

Monster Month has arrived!

The Phantom



Oct. is by far the coolest month of the year. This year I have decided to only shoot monster toys all month long. So look for a lot of creeps to be haunting this site and my flickr photostream.
