If you've followed this blog for any period of time, then you know why we talk about the George Romero and Stephen King 80's big scream fright classic, Creepshow (1982) all the time, --it's absolutely one of the greatest horror comic book film anthologies ever made! And this past weekend I drove out to Indianapolis (to meet one of my all time favorite heroes, Bin "Ultraman" Furuya at the All Monsters Attack kaiju convention), and walking past one of the many vendor tables I suddenly spotted something Creepshow related-- an original home video store release Creepshow display hanger mobile! Utilizing the famous poster imagery of the creep in the box office window, and die cut to only feature him with the title, we also get a nice reverse of the image on a spooky, double sided swinger! It's in pretty decent shape too for an early 80's store display piece, a little faded from wherever it once hung, and the base is slightly peeling away at the edges, but for $35 it was still absolutely a steal! Below is my son modeling it for you to show the scale... "It's showtime!"
I love the little mouse in the pocket and the "3D" look of the hand works really well! That is in surprisingly good shape for it's age and material.
ReplyDeleteWhat I don't love is a light switch without a cover :)
Well that room is currently being remodeled, so just hold your OCD horses, jeezo…
ReplyDeleteI always though the Creep's burlap-looking Harris Tweed shroud was quite dapper.
