I talked to Mr. Chiller tonight! It's going to be a great show Halloween weekend! 🎃 #chillertheatre

This is the early design for Fang for Rankin/Bass' Mad Monster Party, that I talk about in my film introduction on the new Umbrella blu ray. Notice he was simply called "Monster" on the model sheet and he had hair. This was done by a Japanese artist and looks exactly like the Fang salad spoon Arthur Rankin gave me. Arthur brought Jack Davis back into the project to do all of the model sheets. Originally, he was just going to do the poster art (as he did with Willy McBean and his magic machine). Ironically, Jack's wonderful poster art (featured on the inside cover of the new blu ray) wasn't used. Joseph E. Levine decided to use two roughs from legendary artist Frank Frazetta, without his knowledge. Frank, very upset by what had transpired, demanded payment and received it. Frank's finished color piece wouldn't be seen for decades. In 1997, Arthur Rankin signed my linen backed one-sheet from the film, and thought the art on the poster was Jack's. He wasn't aware of the Frazetta story and I explained. I had just spoken to Frank's wife Ellie. My Mad Monster Party book is selling off the charts right now...I have more coming is soon! www.miserbros.com #madmonsterparty #Fang #frankensteinsmonster #Halloween #monsters #bluray

I was sorting through some of my Agent 86 items tonight!   My pal Gary sent me the coloring book that I had not seen before!   I did a lengthy interview with my pal Johnny Holmes for RADIO ONCE MORE that will air on July 24th and then it will be posted on the Holmesy blog.   I will post updates!

I added Fang to my EBAY items under seller MISERBROS
