U.S. Postal Monsters

THE FUTURIST!
has this actual sheet
of commemorative postage stamps
honoring the Universal Monster films.
The scary thing is to think they were
only 32 cents at the time.

  1. Class! I actually saw a bit about those stamps in a documentary about Universal horror. Karloff was on another set of stamps to do with filmic achievements, for make-up. And Boris is the only person, apart from a president, to appear on 3 stamps!

  2. THE FUTURIST! has these stamps in a special envelope sealed away in a locked drawer. He has a commemorative HITCHCOCK sheet, too.

  3. You should have them framed on the wall! No point having them if they're locked up!
