    Great vintage commercial from the Remco Monster line.

    ^It's so...pleasant, and non-spooky. I love it!

      As a guy with an ear for soundtracks, I immediately recognized the music. It's the same production music used in Power Records' Batman: Stacked Cards. Have a listen at 6:20:



      I would love to know more about from where Power Records sourced their music.

            I still have this record zince the 70s and I have never noticed that background music. What a great ear you're absolutely right same music in the commercial. The commercial probably ripped it off from that record

                I'd bet Capitol Records.

                  I had a similar toy to this but for the smaller 3.75 inch glow in the dark monsters. I remember Princess Leia would always have to hide inside under the monster bed so no one would find her until she could escape...

                    Likely. This sounds like it could be from Night of the Living Dead or Creepshow, which pulled from that same library.

                        I think I should turn in my Power Records Podcasting card for not catching that. I'm falling down on the (non-paying) job!

                          No way Chris! You actually put the effort in and produce lots of great podcasts. Me? I just think about podcasting, but never actually record one.

                            LOL Yeah, that kid had a really thick NYC accent. I’m not sure which borough, though.

                            Great commercial, by the way!

                            Rampart, this is Squad 51. How do you read?

                              ^Another instance where Remco was ripping off Mego! All the kids in the Mego commercials have accents thick as molasses.
