Are you a Monster Kid?

Did you grow up with Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine?

Did you build glow in the dark Aurora Monster Model kits?

Maybe you did, maybe you didn’t.

No matter when you were born, no matter how old or how young you are, if you love monster movies, then you are, by definition, a Monster Kid, and boy do I have something for YOU!

It’s gotta be hard getting out there and dating when you are a Mad Scientist.

There’s no match.com for Evil Geniuses!
Unless that’s what Tinder is; I am uncertain.

There comes a time in a man’s life when he wants to settle down with a nice girl, so they do what anyone else would do:

Sew together a lifeless female body, zap it with electricity and bring it to life.

Actors gotta work, actors gotta eat.

Even Academy Award Winners gotta put food on the table.

I assume this is what Dean Jagger (Best Supporting Actor, 1949, “Twelve O’Clock High”) was thinking when he signed on the dotted line for “X The Unknown” and ended up battling radioactive Jello pudding.

There’s a Bill Cosby joke in there somewhere, but I am afraid to make it.
