remind mags

the minute i saw this magazine cover i knew i wanted to subscribe ;) ~

so i took advantage of a $1 per issue yearly subscription online to this remind magazine ~

& then chose a few cool back issues to add in like this kids' stuff issue with of course, gumby! ~

mr rogers, scooby doo, cartoons, schoolhouse rocks, toys, everything vintage kids loved about childhood ~

i had to have this munsters issue from an october past ~

i always say yvonne decarlo as lily munster is my idea of an ideal mom ;) ~

these mags include tcm listings & puzzle pages, articles & a color photo pin-up page ~

old & new retro shows & fun insights ~

they absolutely did not disappoint ~

of course all things vampire ~

from nosferatu & christopher lee & bela lugosi to the newer dracula incarnations ~

special articles devoted to vampira, elvira, svengoolie & other favorite horror hosts :D ~

fun time capsules ~
