Trader Verne's Zombie mug question - General Tiki

Verne Langdon was the legendary force behind the early days of Don Post Studios. He helped create some of the most iconic monster masks of the 60's including the Universal Studios monsters. Every monster kid on the block would drool over the advertising photos of masks in Famous Monsters, Creepy, Eerie and Vampirella magazines. Always trying to convince mom and dad to cough up enough money so that he could buy at least one of these bad boys. Also, Verne loved tropical cocktails and tiki culture including Exotica music. Check out Trader Verne's Tiki Lounge from the link below and you'll see his very own version of a Zombie and Navy Grog cocktails along with his original music "Sippin' A Navy Grog". http://www.vernelangdon.com/page5.html If you search the weird world web you can find plenty of fans of Verne Langdon and his creations. So, I would say that there's plenty of proof out there that Verne's Zombie Tiki Mug has crossover appeal from the Tiki community to the Monster Mask community. To add my two cents worth, It would be nice to see these made in a ghoulish green glaze like the color of the original mask. Also, please include a printed card with Verne's Zombie recipe like the original. -Darrin
