Holy Magazine Collection!!!

I know the 20th anniversary of "BATMAN" with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson was on June 23, but this post was delayed as it was too hot outside and I was distracted by the Ghostbusters game that just came out. But that is neither here nor there, so without further delay I present my collection of Starlog Batman movie covers.




This cover I could have uploaded on June 23. These Magazines date back to 1989


These covers date from 1992, and I wish I had presented them on the anniversary of Batman Returns, June 19th.




While not actually Starlog covers, Science Fiction Explorer and the Comics Scene Batman Forever special were published by the Starlog publishing group. I really wanted to put this up on June 16th.
Well this concludes today's exhibit, and I will continue to search far and wide for the next presentation.
(Starlog is published by Starlog Entertainment Company, Batman is Published By DC Comics, and BATMAN, Batman Returns, & Batman Forever were released by Warner Brothers)

Videogame Showcase: Zoinks!!!

I just found out today is the 40th anniversary of Scooby Doo. " Like wow, man, time to have some Scooby snacks." I used to watch it as a youth and occasionally watch it nowadays.

Here's the Scooby gang as I created them on "The Sims 2: Pets" for Playstation 2

40 years of The Haunted Mansion

Let's see if I can borrow a line and say " I'll be your host, your Post host (chuckle)" and let me say what an influence the Haunted Mansion has been. I wonder how many Halloween displays have been influenced after people went on it. But there was a time when I was not so fond of this attraction.
In my youth, my friends and I would talk about HM, one even went to ride it, but the impression we had is: The Haunted Mansion was the scariest ride EVER!! And if you rode it, you would have nightmares for weeks and weeks and have to sleep with the lights on, we even had a rumor of non-existent scene that included a funeral for an old woman lifting up to the great beyond and only her skeleton would return to earth. (It did'nt help after watching the Disneyland 30th anniversary special that had a segment on the Haunted Mansion showing scenes and having a young Drew Barrymore describe how scary it was either)But after riding it, it wasn't that bad, maybe a little enjoyable. There are plenty of sites that cover the history of the Haunted Mansion, and I guess it goes to show how many people enjoy the mansion. Now let's view my gallery of Haunted Mansion tributes.

Rollercoaster Tycoon Showcase: A Day to Remember

Today is the 54th anniversary of Disneyland, so in the spirit of the signifigance of today on the theme park industry I am going share some of my Magic Kingdom screenshots from my 5th Magic Kingdom sim on RollerCoaster Tycoon 2.

This is the castle which greets guests to Fantasyland.

                                                           

This is the Main Street train Station

                                                     

I hope you enjoy this exhibition while I search far and wide for the next exhibit of the obscure.

Nostalgia Post: She's A Dancin' Dancin' Dancin' Machine!!!

This is the first exhibit, a Halloween decoration from about 1976, made by the Beistle company. Other than that I know little about it, that's why I call her "Disco Witch". Does anybody have any further info?

(UPDATE!!! Thanks to Spookshows.com at http://www.spookshows.com/ for some information, apparently this witch is a 70's update to an older design, and that can be seen here:
