Kong learned his lesson and isn't climbing quite as high these days. He's not even reaching the ceiling now.

VERDAMMT, DIE ZOMBIES KOMMEN!
I love foreign movie posters, especially since the artwork is often better.

These rockin' zombie gals couldn't help from snacking on each other during Monsterpalooza.

Pro Tip: When somebody who looks like this tries to hand you a flyer, you TAKE it and say THANK YOU.

FANG BANG!
There's absolutely no way they could get away with giving a game that name these days.

Another old comic book mail-away item - The Mad Mad Mad Scientist Laboratory.
It's like all the other laboratory playsets, but with three times the madness!

Some old Mad Monster Party Pez dispensers.

A full case o' monster Top Poppers!

My Bloody Valentine miner, with a pulsating heart on the end of his trademark pick-axe.

Eat your heart out, Pirates of the Caribbean!

I absolutely loved FrankenTiki, but unfortunately didn't have $500 to blow on it.
So yeah, somebody send me $500 and I'll remedy that right away, ok?

No thanks pal, I already ate, but you go right ahead.

Awww... zombie romance is so cute.

Always good to see Ken Foree is still attending these horror events.

PREACH ON, BROTHA!

A friggin' PERFECT replica of the Ghostbusters proton pack and ghost trap.

What's up, Bozo?

There were plenty o' bootleg DVDs for out of print flicks at the show (most of them were never released on DVD).

Some makeup effects wizards demonstrate their magic on a willing member from the audience.

Ingredients for a hearty gumbo, no doubt.

So young and already so awesome. Way to go, Frankenkids!

And that wraps up my coverage of the 2010 Monsterpalooza event. Hope you enjoyed the 150+ photos of all the incredible makeup effects and monster goodies from yesteryear. I'm sure they'll be holding another Monsterpalooza in 2011, so if you missed out on it this year, start making plans in advance to check it out next time. It's definitely the kind of show any big fan of horror movies would have a field day at. Now if you'll excuse me, Trick 'r Treat Sam has a lollipop with my name on it.
