Elmo may never figure out the reason(s) that weird things keep happening to him.
(HINT: the reason's names are Snafu, Lucas, and Fubar)
For Halloween day, Slim selected something to remember the 1938 Orson Welles broadcast of H. G. Wells’s War of the Worlds. Since the Orson Welles broadcast didn’t have any images to accompany it, Slim had to pick something from a newer source. Therefore, Slim picked the 1955 Classics Illustrated comic book’s depiction of the Martian Tripod.
Since Slim has been desperately trying to tell a vampire story this year, a vampire picture was required for his Monster Menagerie. And what better vampire than that of the Bela Lugosi portrayal of Dracula?
Boris Karloff as Frankenstein’s monster is another black and white monster treasure that Slim needed to add to his Menagerie of Miscellaneous Monsters.
Another must-have for any meaningful monster collection is King Kong. Here is King Kong swatting biplanes from the sky from atop the Empire State Building.
Although Lon Chaney Sr. appeared as the Phantom of the Opera over 100 years ago, his appearance still stands out as creepy. Slim had to have a picture of the Phantom of the Opera in his collection.
As has been mentioned repeatedly, Slim is a big fan of the original Alien movie, so he picked another dark image of the alien xenomorph to include in his monster art gallery.
Anyone who has ever seen Jason and the Argonauts, a Ray Harryhausen masterpiece, will immediately recognize these guys. Of course, Slim has always idolized these guys.
This werewolf has never appeared in a Pesky Gremlins comic panel but he looked menacing enough to make it into Slim’s Menagerie of Miscellaneous Monsters.
The Crypt Keeper is a source of inspiration for plastic skeletons everywhere. And here is Slim’s pick of portraits of the Crypt Keeper.
Slim is a big fan of the original Alien movie and wanted to include a picture of the alien in its infamous facehugger form. So here is a view that might be too close for comfort of the facehugger on approach.
