Title: Horror Monsters (non-sports) cards
Post by: AlbertMond on October 24, 2019, 02:35:14 PM
Does anyone here remember back when there was a full site for the Horror Monsters (Nu Cards I think) cards, complete with every card from the green and orange sets? Like, it was a format where you could just click from one to the next, with the link to the next and previous cards usually having a humorous name like "an ornery lizard" or "T. Blob."

It's been gone for years, but I just decided I'd ask if anybody remembered it. Seems like a heckuva lot of effort to just be lost like that, scanning and cataloguing all those cards.

There were several linked sites, too (like for the Rosan Terror Monsters series) and I think those are gone, too. Monsterwax is still up, but they don't show that much.

Heh - as far as collections, I was stupidly excited to find a pair of Funny Monsters cards in a basket of scrap and booklets at a flea market once. Never came across the Horror or Terror Monsters cards unfortunately.

I used to have a bunch of cards from Gremlins 2 and Ghostbusters 2.

Yeah, but that's not the same site tho. Like literally all of the cards in the Horror Monsters series were indexed on this other site and it's been gone for years. It was so beautiful.
