Here we have another contribution of a fantastic trade ad for 1980s 'Trebor Mummies'. This is really superb, I love the graphics on the display boxes, would love to come across one of those.
The text at the bottom reveals the secret flavors, the haunting 'Tales from the tomb' on the inside of the labels and the advertising campaigns on TV and in comics.
Thank you Jason for a great ad, please check out his brilliant page on collecting candy, some really cool packaging on there.
Collecting Candy
I featured one of these stickers quite awhile ago and I have always wondered what the others looked like, so now at last thanks to a reader of the Cobwebbed Room they have provided a picture of their full set. Great looking stickers, not sure or have forgot how these stickers were bought at the time, were they sold as a set or were they single stickers? Either way really good to see these.
Thank you to the kind person who provided the picture of them.
An artist friend of mine has started a Patreon page which supports him in his artistic projects. By donating a small amount each month he will create a glow-in-the-dark monster sticker as a thank you for donating and supporting his projects. There are 3 stickers produced at the moment of a 'Killer Shrew', 'Creature [from the black Lagoon]' and 'Creeping Terror', these are beautiful pieces. I have just received the 3 stickers from him today and can assure you they really are a worthy edition to any monster collection. Also by joining his patreon page you can also make suggestions for any future stickers. Another project he is hoping to get off the ground is a self published book which will feature 30 original paintings devoted to 1980s/90s monster/horror nostalgia. Please check out his page which also contains some of his youtube videos which shows him painting in time lapse, some great paintings here one of Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Vincent Price and John Carradine together [House of Long Shadows], Frankenhooker, Joe Bob Briggs [Monster Vision] etc.
He is a great guy and I know he will be really happy with the support and appreciation of his talents. Thank you.

First of all I am so sorry for not posting anything for ages for those that keep returning here. Just been too tired after work etc.
Sometimes it's quite surprising what you find when looking through an old annual that you don't normally bother looking through either because it doesn't Interest you or because you don't expect anything that would be suitable to your interests. Well I saw this Action annual at a carboot sale and thought I'll have a quick flick through and lo and behold I saw a nice picture of a Werewolf in an article, so I bought the annual and it wasn't until I got home an read it that I discovered it was about the Palladium Cellars; it's not often you come across anything connected with the short lived attraction.So I thought I would share it here. Hope you like it and find it Interesting.
