Monster of the Day #1353

I’m a little confused by the skull and open ribcage on the skelly on the left contrasted with his meaty arms, hands, legs, and feet. Did the artist think a human skeleton rots from the head down like the saying about fish?

C’mon, now she is alive? She is the one who kept going on about Tom Stewart.

My but these skeletons look downright jolly. I can only suppose they thought they’d have to deal with some meddling kids like they did on those DC ghost comic covers rather than a lovely blonde, and found the surprise delightful.

For those interested, tonight on TCM starting at 8 they’re going to have a Roger Corman/AIP marathon with the following films:

8 PM — PIT AND THE PENDULUM

9:30 – “X” THE MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES (starring Ray Milland and Don Rickles, of all people?)

11 – DEMENTIA 13

12:30 – BLACK SABBATH

2:30 – THE COMEDY OF TERRORS

4:15 – MASTER OF THE WORLD

Actually, the face on the left looks like a mask. You can almost see eyes inside the eye-holes. I’m betting this is “elaborate insurance scheme” and they’re not really skeletons after all.
