*  Did I mention that Bradley appears in the only official Christmas Rankin/Bass Documentary "We Are Santa's Elves" on The Year Without A Santa Claus blu ray and DVD?   The Mad Monster Party Blu Ray has official documentaries also

George S. Irving was the Heat Miser

I hope everyone had a nice Father's day!

Phyllis McGinley

Here is a great picture of Pulitzer Prize winning author Phyllis McGinley!   This picture appears in a great book by my friend Tim Hollis called CHRISTMAS WISHES:  A Catalog of Vintage Holiday Treats and Treasures, which I Highly Recommend.   I re-watched the documentary that I organized on the blu ray of Rankin/Bass' The Year Without A Santa Claus and after not seeing it for many years, was impressed with how that documentary turned out.   Arthur Rankin talked about Phyllis' book and how it was the germ of the story to the special, but as in other Rankin/Bass specials, Writer Romeo Muller expanded the story greatly to include the Heat Miser and Snow Miser, among many other characters and story lines.  I had never seen a photograph of Phyllis until this one and thought I would share it.

Just got off the phone with R/B Designer Paul Coker, Jr....

We will have these Friday with our Special Black Friday sale!

Looks great in a frame!

This looks great framed! You can purchase one from www.darkhallmansion.com After doing four interviews today and waiting to do another, I just heard myself on WDCB NEWS! They selected a segment of the interview where I was talking about Tad Mochinaga and Hiroshi Tabata and just got word yesterday from Japan that the Tad Documentary was a go and the people in Japan loved my books Should be a cool project! So glad WDCB mentioned the McHenry County Historical Society's RUDOLPH display! If you haven't seen it yet and can make it to Union, IL, it will make your Christmas happier!
