Meanwhile, that horror show template (and how great is that lettering?) looks like it may be an honest-to-god acid-etched plate. I'd love to own something like that, though to be fair, the linoleum stamp would be easier to use myself here at home).<br /> Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136311233296776036.post-13147377114755761422021-04-07T11:19:40.053-05:002021-04-07T11:19:40.053-05:00I adore the ghost with the bone and the wacky mult...I adore the ghost with the bone and the wacky multi-hole (eye?) skull above it. That's some great art!<br /><br />The process to make those plates was pretty complicated (back in the day) and the horror show one is *super* clean, I am not a know it all but for various reasons I actually watched a video on it a couple days ago! Somebody spent a really good amount of time on that.<br /><br />The paneling store one is also excellent (I love the exaggerated hourglass figure) but the horror show is the one that really draws me in. I've seen a couple of the remaining wrapper movies for those (usually what triggered the monsters to come out) but while I'm as old as the hills I'm not that old, so I never would have gotten to see a spook show. I assume it would have been a ton of fun, either ironically or un-ironically!Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.com
