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!Sunday, October 12, 2008

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!Monday, October 06, 2008

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!
