Classic Monsters Group Art Show at Halloween Town

Halloween Town, also known as my Favorite Store in the World, always has cool art on display in their Parlour Gallery - in the past, they've done tributes to Halloween (the holiday, not the film), Edgar Allan Poe, Disney's Haunted Mansion and more. Now they're set to unveil an all-new show on Saturday, December 1st, and it might be their best yet. The theme? Classic Monsters! In addition to the already impressive roster of artists, including special effects legend Rick Baker, there will be artwork by Rob Zombie (but fanboys and girls, be advised that Mr. Zombie himself will not be in attendance).

The opening night reception runs from 7 to 11pm, with artwork on display through December 30. Halloween Town is located at 2921 Magnolia Blvd. in Burbank, CA, and the Parlour Art Gallery is free to visit.

Mad Monster Party Group Art Show

Mad Monster Party? is a Rankin-Bass stop-motion TV movie from 1967, which means it is totally nutty and sort of surreal in the way that cartoons from the swingin' sixties/early seventies often are, and it features the vocal talents of both Boris Karloff and Phyllis Diller doing that inimitably bizarre Phyllis Diller laugh (RIP Phyllis and her cackle), so you know it's good.


After you drink that in, mark your calendars, because the Van Eaton Galleries in Sherman Oaks will be paying tribute to the movie's groovy ghoulies with a group art show that opens with a reception on October 13th from 6 to 10pm.

Check out the website for more info. The Van Eaton Galleries are located at 13613 Ventura Blvd. in Sherman Oaks, CA.
