A Comprehensive Guide To Horror Posters - Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, and The Wolf Man are probably the most recognizable monsters in cinema history.

What Music They Make now completes the process, filling in over 1500 additional horror poster images from that time period. Most are completely new images on over 320 pages.
This book contains posters and images not seen in decades. It contains a heavy emphasis on complete lobby card sets, as well as wonderful posters. Whether you're an avid poster collector or simply someone who enjoys the classic horror films, you should find pleasure reading this book. Please enjoy viewing the wonderful images of What Music They Make.

Just Added! Great Used VHS Tapes For Your Collection
For the retro VHS collector, some heard-to-find titles:
MIGHTY JOE YOUNG (1949 Colorized) - Used VHS
The original MIGHTY JOE YOUNG with animation by Willis O'Brien and Ray Harryhausen. A wonderful story of a girl and her ape (not unlike a boy and his dog!). She is lured from Africa to the big city for fame and fortune on the nightclub circuit with her giant ape, Joe. A romping adventure-fantasy that is pure movie magic. Colorized version!
THE THING (1951 Colorized) - Used VHS
Colorized version! Stars Kenneth Tobey, Margaret Sheridan and James Arness. A military crew and a doctor head to investigate a downed UFO buried in ice. They retrieve an alien in a block of ice. By accident the "Thing" thaws and begins to kill off the expedition members. That's the plot in a nutshell, but the direction, acting, writing and suspense are top flight. Probably one of the best science fiction horrors EVER put on film. Tobey and the cast are likable, real and scared. This Howard Hawks film soars with a sense of claustrophobia and class.
HOORAY FOR HORRORWOOD! (1990) - Used VHS
Forrest J Ackerman, founding editor of FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND magazine, tales you on a journey through the Ackermuseum of classic monster props and collectibles. Plus a 75 minute dive in classic monster movie magic. Special appearances by Ray Bradbury, Zacherley, and more!
STAR TREK BLOOPERS (1991 Compilation) - Used VHS
One hour and 20 minutes of "bloopers" from the STAR TREK classic TV shows. William Shatner, George Takei, Carol Burnett, and more crazy Trek bits.
DRACULA (1931 Phillip Glass Music Score) - Used VHS
Clamshell case. A sheer classic. Critics gripe about the staginess and slow moving story....but without those elements it would lose an unworldly ambiance that I love. It may be slow in development at the beginning, but it's not boring. The actors are believable and the whole film can put you in a trance of uneasiness. Frye as Renfield is electric, Chandler is beautiful and frail as the Count's victim, Manners is frustrated and righteous, Sloan as Van Helsing is the quintessential hope that we look to....and Bela Lugosi became an icon stamped in the minds of movie-goers forever with this film. New Phillip Glass music score version.
HOLLYWOOD GOES APE (1994 Documentary - 2 Tape Set) - Used VHS
From KING KONG to MIGHTY JOE YOUNG to all the "Gorilla Me" of Hollywood. Stop-motion gorillas, men in ape suits from the movies. An amazing two tape set hosted by Bob Burns with clips from all your favorite gorilla movies. Contributions by Ray Harryhausen, Forrest J Ackerman, George E. Turner, and others. Bonus feature: Science Fiction Monsters! Box has some wear.
WUTHERING HEIGHTS (1939) - Used VHS
Stars Laurence Olivier, Merle Oberon, and David Niven. The Emily Bronte tale of Victorian deep mystery, love and tragedy.
STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION (The Big Goodbye & Datalore) - Used VHS
The collector's edition! Gatefold VHS collectible. Includes two episodes: The Big Goodbye and Datalore. Used VHS in good condition.
THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939/50th Anniversay Edition) - Used VHS
Stars Judy Garland. Here it is, the pinnacle of Hollywood fantasies - THE WIZARD OF OZ! Complete with witches, dark woods, and those darn flying monkeys! A delight on all levels, for al ages and full of creepy scenes too....the fanged smokey Wizard image and more. Includes 28 page color booklet in gatefold cover.
Pick up the ones you want and see even more, many more, in our Used VHS Department at Creepy Classics.

Rondo Remembers: 60 Million Years Ago...Dinoland
It's still there! A place I visited about 55 years ago! But, it felt like 60 million years ago as there were dinosaurs roaming everywhere. What the heck am I talking about? Dinosaur Land USA near Winchester, Virginia.
When I was about ten years old, my parents knew I liked monster movies and dinosaurs. The love of those black-and-white monster movies grew out of my very early fascination with dinosaurs. Between the ages of three and five my mom was reading me books about dinosaurs or with dinosaurs in them. Everything from THE SHY STEGOSAURUS OF CRICKET CREEK, THE ENORMOUS EGG, to non-fiction dinosaur books from our local library and school library.
Then the day came that my parents took me and my baby sister on a long car drive to Virginia to see life-size dinosaur figures. The place was called Dinosaur Land. I roamed, ran, and reveled around 20 and 30 foot prehistoric beasts through a path in some woods. It was this young dinosaur fan's dream come true.
Fast forward 25 years or so, and my wife and I took our five-year-old daughter (also a dinosaur enthusiast) on a trip back to Virginia and Dinosaur Land. She, too, got to run amok amongst Brontosaurs, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurs, and duck-billed giants. It was a rewarding full-circle experience to see the joy in my daughter's scramble back in time.
I just searched for Dinosaur Land on the Internet. It is, indeed, still there. Perhaps a journey back there may be in order! Especially now that a childhood friend of mind is living in that area. Who would have imagined that Winchester, Virginia touches the Jurassic and Mesozoic era.
Dinosaurs were the beginning. They led to films like DINOSAURUS, THE BEAST OF HOLLOW MOUNTAIN, JOURNEY TO THE BEGINNING OF TIME, KING KONG...then it was a short jump to FRANKENSTEIN, THE WOLF MAN, CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, and a love of movies full of imagination.
