CHRISTMAS FRANKENSTEIN

To honor a longstanding favorite monster-kid image we have created this Christmas Frankenstein Super Magnet as seen on the cover of Monster World 1965.
Yeah, it's just our Huge Glenn Strange super magnet with a Christmas hat glued on top - but what did you expect?

Keeping Christmas evil!

In the Works - Wolfman Super Magnet

Been wanting to expand beyond the Frank/Drac selection of Super Magnet portraits. Still some details to tweak but here is a pretty large Talbot Wolfman.

Probably will be early Dec. before I can get a few finished pieces in the Etsy Store..

NEW Evil Pumpkins Listing - MASSIVE Glenn Strange Frankenstein Super Magnet

AVAILABLE HERE

Just finished! This very large handmade super magnet is a solid resin likeness of the Glenn Strange Frankenstein's Monster.

The biggest super magnet yet - shown in the second pic with our Karloff version.

Check how big this new guy is!

Celebrate the horror and protect your fridge at the same time!

In the Works - Ultimate Glenn Strange Super Magnet

Evil Pumpkins is now back in action post-Halloween. During that time I was contacted by several folks who had seen our Karloff Super Magnet on display at Franklin Pumpkinfest. In the display photo was one of only a few Glenn Strange(ish) Super Magnets we have created. The item wasn't exactly what we were looking to do so we sold sold the few and never put them online for sale.

Low and behold people are really interested in Glenn Strange Frankenstein - so I whipped up this mega-Super Magnet of Glenn. The biggest magnet thus far. The original positive clay is shown below.
Should have one or two (full color-plastic, magnet-mounted) in the store this weekend for anyone interested.
Enjoy!

Bela Never Drinks..... Wine

All new in the Evil Pumpkins store! It took a few hours to finally capture (sculpt) the elements that make Bela look like Bela but in the end I think it's pretty close.

Blue is a good color for Bela and the white out eyes add a twinge of evil.

Own this in a large magnet form!

The Process of Making a Skull

I am often asked about the process and what goes into making one of our creations.

What follows is the entire process of creating a resin-cast item by Evil Pumpkins.

"BIG SKULL" is hand-sculpted using a soft polymer clay
which is hardened in an oven at 270 degrees

Once cooled and hardened the object is placed inside a made-to-fit corrugated
plastic box - made to fit as close as possible without touching a side.

A two-part liquid silicone is measured and mixed in a cup.

The mixed silicone is carefully poured in a manner as to avoid air
or not to disturb the placement of the item.

The silicone hardens over several hours.

Once hardened, the object is removed and filed away (if it's not too
busted up during the process).

A two-part liquid plastic is mixed and poured into the cavity.

Within a hour hour the item is fully hardened and cooled (the chemicals
get quite hot when mixed).

A process of layer painting using acrylics creates a colorful depth.

The final piece - after attaching heavy duty magnets...

The Jiggler

My first AHI Frankenstein jiggler was purchased at JM Fields in North Palm Beach around 1977. I collected all of the Super Monsters and loved them dearly. They all had names - Frankie, Wolfy, Kongy etc and were always with me at school or at home.

Over the years they were destroyed or stolen or simply lost, but when Ebay came around the first item I sought was the Frankie Jiggler. I have managed to secure 6 of them since that time at a reasonable price but now they are being listed at a preposterous $200-$300 regular rate.

A great toy but there's no way I'm shelling out that kinda dough.

I have recently recreated 'Frankie' as a solid flat-back Super Magnet piece to be sold in the Evil Pumpkins store..

It was a total jazz to get to paint these up. I had long pondered the 'Hong Kong assembly line" imagining some 12 year old having to hand paint 40

Frankies per hour, 23 hours a day or suffer some torturous reprimand but getting paid with one Frankie at the end of the month.

Well worth it!
