Action Figures to Be Noted: ... and Monsters















I like how the accessories for the Universal Dracula (1931) includes the infamous. almost inexplicable armadillo as well as a spider and a possum (supposed to suggest a big rat, I've heard). Fauna not very familiar at the time to audiences outside the American South, perhaps. And now I see that there's another armadillo, too, on the table from Texas Chainsaw Massacre. We have Peter Cushing as Van Helsing and Vincent Price as ... well, Vincent Price in general, with a raven, a black cat, a skull (screaming?), records, and his famous cookbook.
