This was always a GREAT special to watch during the holidays! Like I said, it has that warmth we have grown to love in the RANKIN/BASS specials. Bill Jackson is an original and you could tell this project was a labor of love. A GREAT way to use his puppet characters in a Holiday special!
BAT-MANGA! The Secret History of Batman in Japan
I picked up the NEW Chip Kidd and Geoff Spear book BAT-MANGA! today and have to say I am really enjoying it! It has many comic strips that are a combination of SPEED RACER art and art based on the BATMAN TV Series starring ADAM WEST and BURT WARD. There are also alot of GREAT pics of merchandise, that was based on the classic TV series and some very nice painted art that looks like CARMINE INFANTINO and MURPHY ANDERSON art! Very cool book! THANKS to Chris Wolfson for reminding me about this one! 
A couple of cool ads that RON MURPHY sent over from the CHICAGO TRIBUNE's TV WEEK. I remember cutting these out as a kid.
MAD. MAD. MAD. MONSTERS
Always enjoy watching this cel animated RANKIN/BASS ABC SATURDAY SUPERSTAR MOVIE. I even have a promo for this very cool MONSTER show. My pal BOB McFADDEN did many of the voice as did RHODA MANN and ALLEN SWIFT!

Picked up the new SNOW PATROL CD 'A HUNDRED MILLION SUNS' which is GREAT! Love SNOW PATROL and saw them a few years ago at LOLLAPALOOZA. Also picked up the new LITTLE RASCALS DVD set! Love the packaging! I am excited to announce....we will be offering Bill Jackson's 'A GIFT FOR GRANNY' on DVD! Talked with Bill about it today!

My pal RICH 'SVENGOOLIE' KOZ
Ron found this VERY early picture of Rich 'Svengoolie' Koz. I talked to Rich last week and we were trying to coordinate a Halloween party BUT his schedule is tight this time of year! This photo is back in the day when he showed a few of my drawings on air.
A GIFT FOR GRANNY by Bill Jackson
Ron just sent over this cool ad of BILL JACKSON's "A GIFT FOR GRANNY" Christmas special! Always enjoyed this one and I need to get it transferred over to DVD. Bill sent me his NEW book! Check my NEWS in SEPTEMBER!
MAD MONSTER PARTY DVD at WALMART
My pal RON MURPHY tells me that WALMART stocked up on the MAD MONSTER PARTY DELUXE DVD this year!!! They also had the NEW version of THE DAYDREAMER at a good price. THANKS Ron!
MONSTERSCENE magazine
This very cool magazine even pre-dates my first book. It was the first article I wrote about RANKIN/BASS and their classic film MAD MONSTER PARTY (1967). Wish BASIL GOGOS was still doing magazine covers like this! He is the BEST Monster artist! Basil did a drawing for my first book BUT it came a bit late and missed the printing.
MUSIC VIDEO
My sister STACEY is going to direct a video of my song "You Can See It In My Eyes," which we will post on YOU TUBE and elsewhere. She is in the business of directing band videos and has done alot of work for PITCHFORK. Check her LINK in the right hand column of my blog. I have tons of NEWS posted this month and in order to see it all, you would have to click OCTOBER 2008, also in the right hand column of my blog. I am going to try to get THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS: A PORTFOLIO up at AMAZON on SPINDLE soon too, for those of you that have that device. THANK YOU for your support!
Some cool HALLOWEEN art from my pal MITCH!
http://www.mitchoconnell.com/ Check out my pal MITCH O' CONNELL'S website! He has a cool event coming up this THURSDAY night on the Northside of Chicago at THE TATTOO GALLERY w/ one of the stars from the RUSS MEYER films!
CREATURE FEATURES
Here is a cool ad from my pal RON MURPHY! Who could forget watching CREATURE FEATURES and those wonderful intros by WGN-TV NEWS anchor MARTY MacNEELY! I have some of those on CD with the CREATURE FEATURES theme and lots of cool HALLOWEEN music! I will play that on HALLOWEEN DAY as the trick-or-treaters come to the door!

BOOK clarification
I got a few e-mails and I want to clear up any confusion. The book I have up on EBAY right now IS an actual book! It is my first and only copy for the moment. I put it up for the many I have heard from over the past few years that want a hardcover copy of my book! Enjoy!
THE MUNSTERS by LEAF
Here is another cool item I picked up at the toy show! I also found a MATTEL HERMAN MUNSTER puppet in much better condition than the one I had, really cheap. GREAT time of year to pick up MUNSTERS items! We ran into two good friends at the TOY SHOW today....PATRICK McKAY and TOM MARGARITES! It was cold out there BUT Sunny and they moved most of the show into their NEW building!
NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS in 3-D
Josh and I also took in NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS in 3-D this afternoon in St. Charles, IL! This was the second time we saw it in a theatre in 3-D (The first was a few years back). There was a trailer shown for the upcoming HENRY SELLICK stop-motion film in 3-D that looked promising.
KANE COUNTY TOY SHOW
Here is one of the many cool things that Josh and I picked up this morning at the KANE COUNTY TOY SHOW! I love the inking on these stylized cartoons! This was Josh's first trip out to ST. CHARLES for the show and he really enjoyed it! There were plenty of bargains to be found and some GREAT vintage toys!

Listing book #1 on EBAY!
I am going to post book #1/Book proof on EBAY this weekend! So happy to have this book back in print again! I forgot that I updated the BURL IVES FOREWORD page with a RARE Alternate picture and a different picture of his home in recent years too! It will be listed under seller ANIMAGIC1. The BIG toy show in St. Charles, IL is tomorrow am!
McD items!
Back to the ANTIQUE MALL this am before the zoo..
Here is a large 1968 RONALD McDONALD hand puppet. The booth we always buy from is from a seller that worked for McDonald's as a designer and re-designed RONALD in the 1970's. I have a cool commercial of RONALD in a space ship from this era.
They had a nice bank of the singing trash cans that are on my MOUSE ON THE MAYFLOWER DVD!
PROOF comes in!
The Proof arrives AND I REALLY like it! The front cover features a black leatherette style hardcover with a square indentation and a dark and colorful image/Sticker of the NEW cover on it! The pages are crisp and clear as I wanted them and am so THANKFUL to have this back in print again! I may list this BOOK #1 on EBAY over the weekend to get things rolling. As I said before, this will be a VERY LIMITED print run, so get yours as soon as possible!

REVIEW
The EXTRAS on the NEW dvd are pretty much a joke. They are made for kids BUT they won't even enjoy them. SING-A-LONGS and a crafty person named SNOWFLAKE (Should have been FLAKEY) makes a SNOW GLOBE. Just what we wanted to see on a RANKIN/BASS COLLECTION DVD. There is also a disturbing BLUE RAY commercial with images from adult films on here courtesy of WARNER BROTHERS? Nice cover though!

FANDERSON
I have been a member of FANDERSON in the UK going back to the US releases of the GERRY ANDERSON shows on DVD in the US: STINGRAY, FIREBALL XL-5, SUPERCAR, CAPTAIN SCARLET, THUNDERBIRDS, JOE 90, etc. I love SUPERMARIONATION! I have this EXCELLENT UK ANNUAL on EBAY under seller ANIMAGIC1 Enjoy!
LOONEY TUNES GOLDEN COLLECTION Vol. 6
I picked up the NEW LOONEY TUNES set and LOVE the content and the JERRY BECK book that was attached at BEST BUY.....but the art on the packaging hit an all-time low! It looks like a sixth grader drew the LOONEY TUNES characters on the box and on the discs! Who is running the home video department at WARNER BROTHERS now? They need to use the art by the classic artists at WB!!!! I have this VERY cool vintage CAROON-O-GRAPH sketch board from the 1940's for sale! It is HUGE and it was manufactured in Chicago. GREAT classic art!
MAURY LAWS: RANKIN/BASS Composer
http://patrickphillipsshow.com/shows/December2007/MAURYLAWS.wma Here is an interview with MAURY that Patrick Phillips sent over! MAURY is also featured in the documentary "We Are Santa's Elves" on the deluxe DVD of THE YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS (Available at TARGET Stores right now!)
JACK DAVIS
This JACK DAVIS ad was in this past Sunday's newspaper! He still has it! As you may or may not know, JACK designed many of the RANKIN/BASS shows including MAD MONSTER PARTY and THE KING KONG SHOW! Jack has done special drawings for both of my books and is a GREAT guy and one of my favorite artists!
calling PAUL COKER, JR.
I talked with my pal PAUL COKER, JR. yesterday! I thanked him for signing the 2008 RANKIN/BASS CHRISTMAS CARD...which are available now! Check the right hand column. We also talked about the possibility of a RANKIN/BASS reunion for THE DR. PHIL SHOW in Hollywood! He was very excited about that! Check PAUL out, in his living room, drawing the MISER BROS and FROSTY in the documentary "We Are Santa's Elves," which is an EXTRA on the deluxe YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS DVD and it is also included in the new box set CLASSIC CHRISTMAS FAVORITES!
MAD MONSTER PARTY site
Here is a site for Halloween fun www.madmonsterparty.com Looks like a nice tribute to a GREAT RANKIN/BASS film!

MUSIC and BOOKS!
www.myspace.com/rgoldschmidt Many have been asking about my 3rd printing of THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS: A PORTFOLIO! I am told I will have the 1st HARDCOVER Copy this weekend to proof! It will be VERY LIMITED, numbered and signed. It will differ slightly from the original release BUT I am trying to get the black and white pages to be crisper and sharper than the original PLUS I added a few new pics, etc. I am thinking, due to the cost to me, it will sell in the $75 price range. I have asked for a better discount BUT I am not sure I will get it. Stay tuned!
ELVIS PRESLEY
The ELVIS PRESLEY TV WEEK I had on my blog last week sold for nearly $500 at auction last week! It made me think of this cool 1975 ad that my pal Ron Murphy gave me. We would catch the King's movies on channel 7 in Chicago and they would cut out half of his songs for time. I remember seeing this ad in TV GUIDE when I was small and after it was gone, I wished I had kept it. I was always a fan of cartoon illustrations!
WILLY McBEAN & HIS MAGIC MACHINE (1965)
This is another one of my absolute favorite RANKIN/BASS ANIMAGIC Productions! It was filmed during the making of RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER with the same voice cast! You could read all about it in my thrid printing of THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS: A PORTFOLIO. Willy was voiced by my friend BILLIE MAE RICHARDS (Voice of RUDOLPH)!
THE BALLAD OF SMOKEY THE BEAR dvd (1966) in ANIMAGIC!
For some reason, people have been bidding like crazy on this DVD on EBAY! I love the special and the wonderful ANIMAGIC....word must have gotten out somewhere! It aired on THANKSGIVING DAY in 1966 and Johnny Marks wrote all of the songs, as he did in RUDOLPH. JAMES CAGNEY does a wonderful job of story telling too!

WILLIE MAYS, THE SAY HEY KID!
Speaking of cereal boxes, this is another original cereal box back I have from a KELLOGG'S Box that I have for sale. It features WILLIE MAYS, THE SAY HEY KID on it and I still have collector's DVDs of the RANKIN/BASS SATURDAY SUPERSTAR MOVIE of WILLIE MAYS, THE SAY HEY KID too! It features four episodes of THE TOMFOOLERY SHOW as well! I love these KELLOGG'S 3-D baseball cards and I have quite a few! If you look hard, you can see MR. CUB...ERNIE BANKS! I just heard that the CHICAGO CUBS won the "YOU MAKE ME SICK!" award for 2008!
Jay Ward's HOPPITY HOOPER
Josh and I found this old CHEERIOS box and I was going to list it on EBAY BUT Josh wanted to keep it. Features the classic characters from THE HOPPITY HOOPER SHOW: Filmore, Hoppity and Waldo Wigglesworth. Watch the Hoppity Hooper Show Saturday mornings on ABC!
SPECIAL EDITION: THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS: A PORTFOLIO is at the printer's and here are some sample pages!!!
I did it! Finally got THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS: A PORTFOLIO 3rd printing to the printer!!!! This is going to be a VERY LIMITED Release in a very nice quality within a hard cover! The demand has been GREAT! I have received tons of e-mail requests for the book. As you may or may not know, the original hardcover has been selling up to $750.00 through used book stores. This release will be considerably less BUT due to the costs involved, I can not sell it cheap nor can I give out comp copies to friends or relatives. I got tired of waiting for publishers to get off their tails and do something to release a third edition, so I decided to cut out the middleman and do it myself. This way I could control the quality and simply....GET IT DONE! I will have books by HALLOWEEN! I did not want to take pre-orders to avoid customer disatisfaction...when I have books in hand, I will sell them. I am very excited about this and will be promoting it on national televison this year! If you have questions, feel free to e-mail me at rickgoldsc@aol.com A VERY Special THANKS goes out to DOUG RANNEY for preparing the files and to TONY AMATO for the NEW cover! Also to SHAG for his MISER BROS image and KEVIN KRIESS for the ANIMAGIC pics!

FALL
Josh and I were out and about today biking, playing baseball, etc. Just got NEWS that I may be working on a RANKIN/BASS Christmas DR. PHIL SHOW! We picked up JACK FROST and the new WB CHRISTMAS DVD set at TARGET today...I will post a review soon. JOSH REALLY liked the packaging on JACK FROST because it had the RANKIN/BASS Name and logo on it and on the side of the package! 
Beautiful FALL day in Tinley Park, IL!
We paid a visit to my Mom today and she ironed my new 1960's style racing jacket in the background.

MAD MONSTER PARTY CD
If you don't have this soundtrack CD from PERCEPTO RECORDS, you may want to pick it up! I understand it may not be available from PERCEPTO anymore BUT you might find it on EBAY. I had the pleasure of writing the booklet and asking MAURY LAWS to dig out those original masters! GREAT music for HALLOWEEN!
Thursday, October 16, 2008
LOONEY TUNES GOLDEN COLLECTION Vol. 6
The LOONEY TUNES GOLDEN COLLECTION Vol. 6 is due out next Tuesday and my pal JERRY BECK always lends a hand to these Great sets! Wish the box art was like the classic cartoons on the discs BUT oh well.... Set 6 will include one of my favorites....ROCKET-BYE BABY!
This is a cool ad RON MURPHY gave me! Some of the KOOL-AID commercials were on Vol. 5
MAD MONSTER PARTY Frazetta color comp
Here is a color painting legendary artist FRANK FRAZETTA did for MAD MONSTER PARTY. Jack Davis did a similar black and white drawing for the film when it was known as THE MONSTER MOVIE. Frank's art ended up on the one-sheet and movie ads in black and white...this was found years later.
This is your MAD MONSTER PARTY headquarters!
As you may know, MMP is one of my favorite RANKIN/BASS PRODUCTIONS and this is definitely the time of year for it! My book, THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS: A PORTFOLIO has a fairly large chapter on the film and I wrote the booklets for the DVD and CD soundtrack. I will be posting lots more on the film soon! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

DOCTOR DOLITTLE collection 1967 MATTEL Rex Harrison
I am lisiting my DOCTOR DOLITTLE collection on EBAY under seller ANIMAGC1. This stuff would look nice if displayed in a Vet's office...beautiful artwork was used to promote the feature film! The doll in the box with Polynesia is mint sealed!
1966 BATMAN painting
The 1966 BATMAN TV series painting by Leslie Thomas for the episode "The Ring Of Wax" showed up last week and I rearranged some of my 1966 BATMAN collection to display it. It is huge!
Ichabod Crane
We always enjoy Walt Disney's THE ADVENTURES OF "Ichabod & Mr. Toad" this time of year!
KEANE : Perfect Symmetry
At first listen, I did not like the techno pop/dance aspects of KEANE's newly released CD PERFECT SYMMETRY (Their 3rd CD) BUT on second and third listens, it has really grown on me! They are by far one of my favorite bands and no one puts emotion into vocals like Tom does. My favorite tracks are "Again and Again" and "The Lovers Are Losing."

HYDE! HYDE!
Here is a drawing I did a few years back, based on the original JACK DAVIS designs for MAD MONSTER PARTY, for an action figure line.
Some cool CHARLES ADDAMS cartoons!
Here are two of my favorite one panel cartoons by Charles Addams. My pal Ron Murphy cut them out of original copies of THE NEW YORKER for me. CLICK THEM TO ENLARGE!
RICK GOLDSCHMIDT SINGS
www.myspace.com/rgoldschmidt Working on some NEW songs and will post on my MY SPACE MUSIC page soon!
HAMMER DVD set : ICONS OF HORROR COLLECTION
Another HAMMER DVD set came out today! It is very cool! It has THE CURSE OF THE MUMMY'S TOMB, SCREAM OF FEAR, THE TWO FACES OF DR. JEKYLL and THE GORGON. Columbia pictures says HAPPY HALLOWEEN! My mom tells me TARGET has the new JACK FROST DVD and the WB RANKIN/BASS Christmas classics set. I am hearing bad things about both from fans! Apparently, the DVD set has PINOCCHIO'S CHRISTMAS instead of THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY, BOOK 2 (which was advertised) and WB mistakingly put that horrible TV movie of THE YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS in the set instead of the RANKIN/BASS classic TV special, which is pictured on the box!? Does anyone there know what they are doing? It is bad enough they didn't include any cool EXTRAS...they didn't even include the right shows????
3rd Printing of THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS is getting closer!
Doug Ranney sent me the updated files today in the mail and I will have by the end of the week to bring to the printer's!

THE SMOKEY BEAR SHOW
I am going through images from my book THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS, for Doug Ranney and came accross this cool sticker book from THE SMOKEY BEAR SHOW.
JACK O' LANTERN : FESTIVAL OF FAMILY CLASSICS
Another GREAT Halloween show RANKIN/BASS did was JACK O' LANTERN, which was an episode of FESTIVAL OF FAMILY CLASSICS. It is featured on my MOUSE ON THE MAYFLOWER collector's DVD.
MAD, MAD, MAD MONSTERS
Another GREAT RANKIN/BASS Halloween special is the cel animated MAD, MAD, MAD MONSTERS. It originally appeared on the ABC SATURDAY SUPERSTAR MOVIE back in 1973. I wrote about it in my book THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS: A PORTFOLIO.
THE RELUCTANT DRAGON & MR. TOAD SHOW
This is a GREAT RANKIN/BASS series designed by PAUL COKER, JR. and I have it on DVD. MUSHI did the animation for RANKIN/BASS and they were the best at capturing Paul's unique art style!

SAMANTHA by BOB BENTAVOJA
This is a very nice Halloween piece of art from BEWITCHED that I picked up a few years back by one of my favorite artists.....BOB BENTAVOJA!
GREEN HORNET costume
I wore this GREEN HORNET costume to an ALEX ROSS HALLOWEEN PARTY several years ago and I was a bit too heavy then. I decided to dig it out today and maybe it will make a reappearance with KATO, at another HALLOWEEN PARTY this year.
The mask was made from one of VAN WILLIAM's original masks.
The gas gun was made from an original GREENWAY PRODUCTIONS prop as well.
BRITT RIED! Here is the original GREEN HORNET Van Williams and myself at a CHICAGO CONVENTION many years ago!
