Mar 26th, 2017: Monsters
♫Scary monsters in the neighborhood
Scary monsters made of ticky tacky
♫Scary monsters in the neighborhood
Scary monsters none the same.
♫There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
♫They're all made out of ticky tacky
And no two look just the same.
Got a friend or relative that deserves payback? A neighbor that dumps lawn clippings over your fence.
A bully picking on your baby? A cow orker who screwed you out of a promotion. Or somebody you
just don't like? You can use things around the house to make a monster that'll make them throw those
shorts/panties away.

In 1965, Forrest J. Ackerman hired legendary movie make-up artist Dick Smith to produce a Famous Monsters of Filmland Do-It-Yourself Monster Make-Up Handbook. Smith (1922-2014) was the guy who did the award-winning make-up for movies like The Exorcist, Little Big Man, The Godfather, Taxi Driver and Ken Russell’s Altered States. Smith’s special edition illustrated magazine presented a 100-page step-by-step guide on how to get the look for some of cinema’s best-known movie monsters. Using a range of everyday objects—from crepe paper and breadcrumbs to ping pong balls—Smith shared some of his best-kept secrets of the trade. |

There's a link at the OP post link to the Book at Amazon. It seem there was the original book and a 1986 reprint that brings more money. You have to click on "see all 5 formats and editions" to view everything, but it looks like $50 is the bottom, and a new 1986 paperback is $2128.01.

My sweetie has a movie makeup guide book, but not that one. I still shudder to think what the replacement cost would be...he bought it new more than 20 years ago, it's by Tom Savini, and it's autographed. If I ever find a beat-up old copy of this one, though, he might need it.
