Cool place, Jobu!

I really like your tiki mug collection, especially the ones with a horror vibe to them. What's the story with the ghastly-looking green one, wearing the top hat? Never seen that one before, and he's right up my alley.

I collect a lot of horror stuff too, especially old school Universal Monsters. Those Neca Headknockers are really nice, great detail on those. I've got almost the complete set, I still need to get the Bride of Frankenstein though.

I collect vintage monster movie posters too, and some of those really fit in well with a tiki theme - Voodoo Island, The Zombies of Mora Tau, The Disembodied (great skull and female witch doctor images on that one), Macumba love, etc.

I see a lot of stuff in your photos that is making me drool. Those Frankenstein castles are waaay cool - wow. I definitely need to get more shrunken head stuff, even though their lips are sewed shut, those items in your collection really speak to me.

And is that a Zuni figure from the Trilogy of terror I see? Yowza, I may have to hunt one of those down for myself.

Thanks for the kind words, it's nice to hear from a Horror Aficionado that is into Tiki as well

The green mug is from the Ghastly Ones band

and yeah that is the Zuni Doll that tried to kill Karen Black
Majestic Studios put some out for the Comic Con in 2004

I would like to check out some of your vintage posters if you get a chance snap a few pics and post them
