HHOF merchandise

I just picked up a comic book on eBay titled: Tales from the Hilarious House of Frightenstein: Don't Come Alone #1.  I bid & won it for less than $10 with shipping (along with a Rocket Robin Hood Fanzine).

It was published in 2005, is 28 pages with a blue cover & drawing of The Librarian, the cover price shows $5.00, and it has several cool short comic stories of the characters by different artists along with artwork pin-ups.

To my knowledge it was fan-published but is on quality paper and is slightly shorter than a standard comic.  An interior page has a full pic of the art by Ghoulish Gary Pullin used for the color-your-own case covers in one of the DVD box sets and for the t-shirt that was available from MerchGuy for a limited time.  I've seen the t-shirt a couple of times on eBay.

If you ever do decide to send a copy out, let me know.

Do you think William would have a problem with this (or other swag) being posted or otherwise distributed?

I honestly think he has a personal interest in Frightenstein (considering all he has done with the DVD sets and TV licensing) and would support such fan activity. It doesn't seem that he has any interest in other merchandising beyond DVDs himself. (I still would like to see a T-shirt or baseball cap!).

Yes, William does have an issue with merch being made - the frustrating part is, I own a merchandise manufacturing company, and can make all this stuff, and in the past through my frightenstein fiend club, WAS making all kinds of stuff, but i got the cutoff, which is fair because i don't own the rights to anything, but...it should still be being made, right? Look, I like the guy personally, it's my band that he hired to play the intro music for the Wolfman segments on all episodes now on tv. William's actually making the band some dough (via Socan royalties), so I can't complain.

But i can't make any more frightenstein fiend club shirts, buttons, stickers, no more igor shirts, no more wolfman shirts, no more trucker caps, nothing. this is the 'real' reason i'm not going to move any more comics. the only way to get one is to go to my Trash Palace booth in Toronto at FanExpo this august in toronto, and personally buy one left over from the first print run from me. i have maybe 150 of them.

btw if you're reading this william, hi man! how's the drive-in? get in touch if you want to make some fiend club merch - 416.203.2389!

stace.

oh hey EzK, um, i have one thing i can give you access to, to add to the site - the mp3 of the Wolfman music we wrote. it's 'our' song, and no-one can take that away from us. i seriously doubt william would have a problem with fans having it; i know we wouldn't.  it's six minutes long, super funky, we run through the 2 minute measure three times - the first has a guitar solo, the second has an amazing organ solo, and the third? everyone goes nuts! when the song ends, we all started yelling Wolfman! Brucie Lives! etc. unfortunately (if i may be so bold) the only part you guys get to hear is the first measure. the band had always hoped that the editor would use parts of all three measures, just to change it up a little, and not be playing the same part over and over, but unfortunately, that's exactly what they've done.

so - who wants to hear it, in all its uncut, 6 minute glory?

That sounds really cool! I do! 

its great but I am not satisfied there should be more comic
