Black and White Wednesday: The Little Horror-Mood Shop of Horrors

Check it out, Groove-ophiles! Warren mags' Captain Company wasn't the only way to order cool horror-related junk out of a black and white horror mag! Archaic Al Hewetson and company had their very own Little Horror-Mood Shop of Horrors going on in their Skywald Horror-Mood mags, as well. Just in time for your Halloween ordering pleasure (provided you have a time machine), you can check out all the spooky and slimy stuff offered in Scream #11 (cover-dated February 1975)...




Can you imagine a mailman carrying that Styrofoam boulder to the doorstep? Sheesh!

    Let it never be said that Diversions of the Groovy Kind snubs Halloween.
    It's a dern shame we can't still order this stuff, and at 1975 prices.
    Much enjoyed this!

    Thanks, Groove! Another great post! BTW, the BLS inflation calculator shows that 34 smackers is equivalent to 184 today...that's an expensive mask!

    I think the Night Gallery posters would still be eagerly bought up today. Someone send the message to Universal Studios, they are missing on a gold mine and they don't even know it.
