Norman Bates: "Now mother, I-I'm going to uh, bring something up..."

 

Mother  "Haha... I am sorry, boy, but you DO manage to look ludicrous when you give me orders!"

 

Norman Bates: "Please, mother."

Mother: "No! I will not hide in the fruit cellar! Ha! You think I'm FRUITY, huh? ...I'm staying right here! This is my room and no one will drag me out of it, least of all my big, bold son!"

Production heads used in The Mad Magician, 1954 starring Vincent Price... these were used as his disguises in the film.

A brain replica cast from the same mold - The Fiend Without A Face, 1958

- - -

 

A helmet used by British school kids - lot's of them - as they portrayed moon creatures called Selentites in 1964's First Men In The Moon. Joey's dear friend Terry was one of them - he recognized it instantly! Ray Harryhausen did the visual effects for that film!

- - -

 

Obviously this guy is trying to remember where he left his car keys. But no, seriously - this is one of the "infected" mutants seen at the finale of I Am Legend... the one with Will Smith. Joey got him right off the street at Washington Square Park as they were filming.

Two original ape appliances used in the first sequel, Beneath The Planet Of The Apes.

- - -

 

A test sculpt for the 1973 film SSSSSSS (you don't say it - you HISS it!)

Original Ghost Viewer given out to patrons for the 1960 film 13 Ghosts.

Night Of The Living Dirt

The Halloween season is upon us, folks - and with that comes random pics of all things related to SPOOKY FUN!!

 

Night Of The Living Dead is alive and well at The Haunted Barn... this year's HorrorThon at The Paramount Theater in Middletown, NY. Joey's relaxing his strict "No Touch" policy at his display for one of his featured items this year - Graveyard soil from the Evans City Cemetery, where the opening shocking moments of the film were shot in 1968!

 

Other artifacts will be featured as well, like original glass from the cemetery chapel and bricks and tin roof from the same!

...with one exception...

 

See you there!!

Odds and Ends

Our OOB brother and curator of The Haunted Barn and Museum, Joey Vento, sent this pic to me... if you KNOW you KNOW...

 

My first reaction was WTF? Followed by my question "You gonna explain how you came across a Budd Dwyer emery board? ...you depraved ghoulish freak!!" His answer raised more questions than it resolved my curiosities "It's at the junk store for a quarter!"

I can only imagine this featured in one of his displays... right alongside the John Wayne Gacy party coasters and the Faces Of Death VHS tapes.

Spooky Fun! 2

The Halloween season is upon us, folks - and with that comes random pics of all things related to SPOOKY FUN!!

Just a couple of friends of mine who don't just hang out at Halloween - they're more or less out all year 'round! When activated, Franky's eyes light up, he moans and moves his arms... Wolfy's eyes light up too and he howls and moves his arms... and Chimpy, well... while he's not technically a Halloween item he might as WELL be... he claps his cymbals, moves his head to and fro - and when you tap him on his head he shows his displeasure by sneering at you - bearing his teeth and popping out his eyes. I would also swear he chatters but by that point I'm already running out of the room.

Bumpity Bump gets a REMIX

Bumpity Bump - The REMIX

Courtesy of Dan Banic...

Dan took one of the OOB site's most obscure "lost" videos, swapped out the edited audio for a cleaned up, longer version of the song - - and with a little help from Artificial Intelligence, colorized segments here and there... and inserted an animated still photo of himself sitting on the edge of his bed, which is the closest anyone will ever get to being a "fly on the wall" during the song's creation...

...Having actually been there during the creation of many OOB songs I can vouch for the eerie accuracy of the simulation - it is both fascinating (and likewise horrifying, in my opinion) when you see just what AI can do. While Dan loves tinkering with AI apps I tend to run in the opposite direction - the results kind of creep me out - but I digress...

If Peter Jackson can use a bit of AI with the Beatles "Now & Then" video - I guess so can Dan, with the Out Of Bodies - so here goes NUTTIN'...

 

 

Uhhh... like I was saying - Click the video below to watch Bumpity Bump, now REMIXED for 2026. 

 

We've also added it to the OOB Tube section of the site - but since you're here... 

...here ya go...

 

ENJOY!!

A horrifying real life Toy Story!

Enough time and emotional healing has happened that I feel I can talk about this now... 

....but some years ago I visited a Toy and Collectibles store in Massapequa, NY called The Land Of Oos and Oz... a wonderful place to discover - filled with rows and rows of old vintage toys and memories! I was looking around, heading towards the back of the store, when I noticed an area that was roped off with Police tape and a sign which warned "Enter At Your Own Risk" and I let out an audible chuckle.

The owners must have a Halloween section, I assumed (although it was in the middle of the Summer) and this must be a whimsical, playful warning - so I didn't give it much thought and stepped around the bend - which led to an aisle mostly filled with vintage old dolls and puppets. I noticed there was no way to simply walk through this aisle as it led to a back wall - so if you wanted to leave you'd have to double back and exit out where you came in.

The rest of the store was well-lit and bright - but this section was fairly dim and had an overhead fluorescent light which flickered and sputtered. I began to feel somewhat at unease without knowing exactly why. Then I thought I heard the sound of crinkling cellophane - my eyes darted to the right and the sound stopped - and then I focused in on THIS....

 

Three puppets from the old Mr Roger's Neighborhood children's show - I didn't even know these existed. I found myself whispering to myself "Oh... King Friday... The Owl... and Lady Elaine Fffff..." I couldn't even say the whole name and I suddenly got a rush of adrenaline. The hairs stood up on the back of my neck. The fluorescent light flickered. Every bone in my body instinctively told me to run - but I couldn't...

 

...I just stared...

...and then it MOVED!!...

...and then it MOVED AGAIN!!

 

SHE WAS TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE BOX!!!!!!

Shifting left and right - that was the crinkling sound I heard!! Good Lord - - am I hallucinating??? Everything after that was a blur... all I know is that somehow, by the grace of God - I got out of there in one piece. When I got home there was a piece of Police tape in my teeth. 

I never spoke of this again.... until now. 

Figment of my imagination? A trick of the light? Maybe an earthquake? I'll never know... somethings are better left unanswered...
