I found a horror card in a book.

I bought a Goosebumps book (I have almost the entire series) at a yardsale a couple of weeks ago. I finally opened it up last night, and found this hiding inside:





Apparently it's from an old set of creature cards from the 50's. I thought it was pretty cool. I'm going to try to get the whole set.

Crabapple, I expect your input on these bad boys:p

I wonder what movie that pic is from. That seems like an awesome find. I work at a used bookstore and all I ever find in books are cat hairs or dead spiders. :(

I think that series is from the 1970's, actually. Those are great cards! I used to have a few of 'em and I remember when you could buy those things. The movie is I think The Abominable Dr. Phibes?

My dad used to have a whole slew of those cards. I wonder if he still does.... I should ask him because he'd probably give them to me if he's still got 'em.

$25 for the set? That's not a bad deal at all.
