Back in the day, folks only had a handful of channels to watch on their rabbit-eared tubes, but from 1964–1966, those who liked their laughs draped in a gothic atmosphere could happily bask in the glow of CBS's The Munsters and ABC's The Addams Family. If you have especially fond memories of the former, then take note, because characters from The Munsters are depicted in upcoming Pop! Vinyls from Funko, along with the neck-chomping Nosferatu and the pain-seeking Pinhead as he appeared in Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth. Also recently revealed at New York City's Toy Fair: the Vinyl Idolz of memorable characters from Mel Brooks' classic film, Young Frankenstein.
The Munsters, Nosferatu, and Pinhead Pop! Vinyls are due out in August, while the Young Frankenstein Vinyl Idolz are set for release this fall. We have photos of the figures below (A big thanks to Comic Book Resources for the images!):
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
