Monster of the Day #3135

As a kid I sadly didn’t own this game, although I knew someone who did and played it a lot. It was Monopoly (way back before Monopoly started doing variant games) with monster movies. As you can see, it was awesome. I’m pretty sure the game was unlicensed, probably both as a game and in terms of the movies it featured (lot of different studios), and went off market very quickly. Still, it was sweet for a monster kid back in the days when there was not a lot of classic monster movie merch out there.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

    I owned that one as a kid — got it for Christmas — and I loved it. I was new enough to monsters that I didn’t know who most of them were, and that game lead me to decide to see ALL of those movies. Took me years, but I did it.

    Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

  • Merry Christmas!

    Again, other than Famous Monsters there wasn’t much stuff for us nerdy monster kids when this came out. A board game with Them! on it?! Sweet.

  • Merry Christmas all!

    A merry belated Christmas to you all.
