Universal Monster paint by numbers

[RSS]

These glow-in-the-dark paint by number portraits of the Wolfman and the Phantom of the Opera were made by craft House in 1975.

They also made a Frankenstein who is somewhat generic-looking, and then a Mummy who bears no resemblance to the Universal Mummy.

The Wolfman is by far the best of the lot. Although I like the way the Phantom resembles his Aurora model counterpart. I love the glow-in-the-dark paint.

That Wolfman would make a great black-light felt poster !!!

Love the Wolf Man! I remember seeing these in Kirk Hammett's book. He commented on how they were pulling away from the James Bama artwork from the Aurora boxes, but like you said, clearly the Phantom is based on the actual model.

Love these.

Ooh, I like these. It occurs to me that the Phantom got extra exposure because of the Lugosi restriction.

Those are wicked!

I love that the scariest part of these is apparently the paint itself- "chilling oil paint" and "scary pre-mixed colors." Never mind the undead, run from the hues and tones!!

I loved paint-by-numbers as a kid. It felt like cheating, but I always loved the ease.
