Colouring Book Theatre: Horror

[RSS]

Horror (1982), World Publishers

It's weird to be doing a Colouring Book Theatre on a Friday but this October and this is one of the coolest colouring books I've ever found.

I discovered this in a shop called Planet of Stuff and bought it before opening mainly because it had Peter Cushing as Arthur Grimsdyke on the cover!
The content is just as grisly and gory.


Grab your (red) crayons and join me after the jump

Just another shot at that cover and it's mish mosh of horror images from Hammer, Universal and Amicus.



The guts of the book are mainly reworked images from stills, some are recognizable, others have been reworked a little but you know the vibe. This one is pretty easy.

A Vincent Price Vampire!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr Lon Chaney Jr.

Getting an Igrid Pitt vibe here, I could be wrong.

Im-Ho-Tepp!

This guy needs no introduction.




Doctor Phibes!

Basil Rathbone or David Warner from Time Bandits?

Even Henry Hull, I cannot love this book more. Wish I knew who the artist was.

That is fantastic, I am Frankenstein-green with envy. And Monster Gallery? It should be posted every Hallowe'en, it's classic.

I had the second one and that is the colouring book with the same pictures used on the Tomland Monsters!! I was trying to remember more about it a few years ago but couldnt place it. I had totally forgotten the cover.

I'm speechless. That is pure awesomeness.

I almost missed the Wolf Man on the left side of the cover, I was so taken in by Cushing there!

Just noticed something else on the cover...that's the old "hag" from House on Haunted Hill over to the right, isn't it!

Sweet Christmas. That's a masterpiece. Art reminds me of Graham Ghastly from EC comics

That's some impressive art work for a coloring book.

Wow! I could not resist coloring in that bad boy. Maybe you should copy some of the pages and practice your painting.
