OK, this is a full-fledged Eerie Publications cover, filled with monsters and gore and pulchritude. The sexy girl was usually a vampire (most often being staked), instead of a "Frankenstein," but otherwise this is fairly representational. Interested parties are pointed to The Weird World of Eerie Publications, a history of the publisher and the…

This is actually a fairly sedate cover for an Eerie Publications, if only because there also wasn't a hunchback, witch and (what I'm sure they'd call) a Frankenstein on it too. Still, monsters killing monsters, and buxom vampires being stakes, were pretty much a staple.

OK, trying to remember if I'd posted pictures was driving me nuts. I really have to make a list, I shouldn't have waited until I'd done 1300 MotDs though. Let's shift to the hilariously awful world of Eerie Publishing, whose poorly written black and white gore-drenched magazines (popped-out eyes lying on cheeks was an…

I can't believe I've never featured these guys, but better safe than sorry.

OK, this week I'm going to burn off miscellanious monsters I've had cluttering up my backlog forever. Possibly some will be repeats if I didn't mark them posted, but I hope not. Anyway, have a great week, everyone.

  Now we're talking. This is clearly the giant octopus from King Kong vs. Godzilla. Well, octopi, since we also get live octopus footage that I assume was from that same film. Still, you can't go wrong warming Ken's heart with an old-school giant octopus. That last shot is typical of the show's damn…

Meh. I understand that it makes economic sense to go the Glenn Manning route, especially if you plow the money saved into the other monsters. However, the show had already done 'giant' people in a far wittier fashion earlier one. This is a decent enough episode--I don't know if Ultra Q ever had a…

Although it murders hundreds, this is the cutest monster ever. It even makes a little squeeky noise. It's painful to watch it killed.

This is one of Ultra Q's comparatively rare non-giant monsters. I kind of like how they mixed it up, though. That jaw was used on several other suits. It's a lady monster, although surely an American show surely would have picked a more overly womanly actress to, er, fill out the role.

This monsters seems like something you'd see on The Outer Limit. It starts out human-sized, then is shot down by the Japanese police (with their dinky pistols, too). At this point, surprise, it becomes a giant. Because, you know, Japan.
