"Cliff Monster" Ad

Fantastic Monsters of the Films didn't exactly have there own version of the Captian Company. Practically the only interesting ad in all seven issues was this one (from no. 1) for this Paul Blaisdell and co. 16mm short monster film and Blaisdell's reel of clips from his AIP movies (The She Creature, Day The World Ended, It Conquered The World, etc.)

    what about all those great photos that Paul Blaisdell took using his own little miniature figures and landscapes with the rubber snakes & spiders and such that they were selling? i thought those were very unique...

    Sorry Prof. I meant to say interesting looking ad! Just speaking of the visual appeal. Most of the others don't quite come up to the standard of the Captain Co. ads.

    You would think a few people still have theirs, but the only person I know for sure has it is Bob Burns (who probably owns the rights to it?). If you're lucky, maybe you'll get an invite for a showing!

    I recently found a copy of the 8mm film, and with Bob Burns permission, here it is...

    Thanks so much, Don! We've all been hoping you'd get the OK to post it to YouTube!
