Ok so I don't have the menacing look of Bela but I still want to welcome you to my monster basement. Ever since I first saw Abbott & Costello meet Frankenstein as a kid I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the classic monsters and the stars who played them. So that's how this site was born. As a tribute of sorts to Bela, Boris and Lon. My friends and family know me as the ultimate baseball and hockey fan but what they don't know is how much I enjoyed a snowy night, lights down low, getting close to the TV and watching all these creepy creatures we've come to love. Why when I was a kid the only bat I knew was the one Bela turned into !!!

As my care giving duties for my elderly parents led me back home I rediscovered all these creepy treasures still in my basement. My extensive movie still collection was still intact and their they were again in all thier glory. Bela, Lon and Boris in their glossy state. As I started to look thru all these treasures in my basement I decided I had too much and started an eBay business in 2007.

My eBay store and this website offered vintage baseball cards, hockey treasures, vintage toys, non sports trading cards and of course the monster treasures. It became appairent that the monster treasures were extremly popular and selling quickly. As my parents health issues became worse I had to take action and leave my regular job to become a cyber seller. Over the first few months eBay awarded me Power Seller Status and everything seemed to be going well except this website.

Famous Monsters of Filmland fueled this passion for me as a kid.

The only thing that seemed to be selling on this site was the monster items and I always wanted just a monster site so in August 2008 I started to revamp this site to house all my monsters and their friends. All the rest of my inventory was moved over to my eBay where it sells extremly well. The monster fan wants to talk monster, have fun, have a trustworthy place to buy and they need a forum to do so. Well here it is.

In closing this site is not all about selling. It's about talking monster and having some fun. Please be patient as I devolop this site. I'm a one man show and want this to be the coolest site around. If you have any suggestions please contact me. Thanks for checking out my basement. I hope to see you often.                           Your Pal Paul
