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. :yesnod:

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.
Come Halloween your kids could not only draw raves from the sugar purveyors, they would scare
the competition out of the hood. :D

Love it!

This is going on my Sakuracon shortlist.

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. :eyebrow:

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. :D
