Hmm, quite a while without an update, but it's the calm before the storm!  There are trade shows and toy fairs coming in the next couple of months, and things will be hopping after that.

Things to look forward to... Web Master Jimmy (that's me) has been busy helping with the website of a certain mask manufacturer whose 2001 line-up is going to rock!  I will also be attending a Halloween tradeshow in Chi town in March.  Oh, yes, the digital camera will be present!

In the meantime, I've added another free download to the FREE STUFF page, and coming soon, contributions from Prop Masters Inc.

New banner graphic for BITES & PIECES.  New images for HALL of HEADS.

OCTOBER 16, 2000

Yesssss!  I can feel my recent bout of Web Master's Block lifting away from my brain!  Brand new banner graphics for LURE of AURORA, HALL of HEADS, and TUBE of TERROR, all of which I am extremely happy with!  New banners for the other pages are coming soon.  This turned out to be a pretty good weekend!

OCTOBER 14, 2000

Yep, the site's a little different.  All the old content is still here somewhere, it's all just rearranged into what I hope is a more focused presentation.  CONTRIBUTIONS is now FEATURES, and is divided up by contributors.  RETRO RAMPAGE and MONSTER MANIA are gone, replaced with LURE of AURORA (Aurora repops), HALL of HEADS (masks), and BITES & PIECES (snippets of stuff that I get from the Internet).

SHOP of HORRORS is gone completely, as is CHECK THIS OUT.  Overall, there's still some cosmetic fine-tuning to do... I'm not completely happy with some of the graphics and text, but for now I hope things are at least a bit easier to navigate and follow.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2000

Added to MONSTER MANIA, RETRO RAMPAGE, and LINKS.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2000

New CONTRIBUTION to the web site from Darren Perks!  Thanks Darren!  Also put the CHECK THIS OUT page back up to show off some neat 3D art by Mike Scott.

Had to remove the JUKEBOX because I discovered that images were popping up in it!  Gotta' figure a way around that!

SEPTEMBER 16, 2000

Added news to MONSTER MANIA, and a contribution to the FREE STUFF page by Mike Scott.  Thanks Mike!  Also, couldn't wait to post AMC's Monsterfest programming to TV page after seeing the line-up!  Life is good.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2000

Decided to bring out the VAULT of VISITORS guestbook, though it needs some cosmetic fine-tuning.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2000

Updated TV... a day late!

AUGUST 24, 2000

Added a "jukebox" to the index page.  Only works for IE though.  I'll figure something else out later to replace it.

AUGUST 23, 2000

Updated and added to SHOP of HORRORS.

AUGUST 6, 2000

Added stuff to MONSTER MANIA.

AUGUST 3, 2000

More artwork for CONTRIBUTIONS.  Nice!  Also, updated pics of Series 4 monsters in MONSTER MANIA.

AUGUST 1, 2000

Updated TV for August.  Fixed a few broken links.  No chance to finish the GUESTBOOK yet.

JULY 28, 2000

Added a new page... CHECK THIS OUT!  Also got a slot in the Polar Lights Billboard Web Ring on the RINGS page.  Heh, heh, those guys are a hoot.  And finally, the BOX of MONSTERS GUESTBOOK is almost ready to go.  A few more creative graphics, and out it comes!

JULY 22, 2000

Scanned a b&w pic of the box for RODAN and added it to RETRO RAMPAGE.

Came up with a new background treatment for AWARDS that, strangely enough, looks the same in Netscape as it does in IE.  That in itself deserves an award I think!

JULY 21, 2000

The first CONTRIBUTIONS made to BOX of MONSTERS!  Took background baldies down from AWARDS page... couldn't get them to look decent in Netscape.  Added image logos to LINKS.

I am sooooo glad it's the weekend!

JULY 17 - 19, 2000

WOO-HOO!  Added an AWARDS page where, for some reason, the background baldies look funky in Netscape.  Must work on that!

JULY 14, 2000

For the sake of HOME page load time, I moved the WEBRINGS to their own page.  Also fixed the TV page so it looks right in Netscape.  Also re-worked the "Scary Movies" in the SHOP of HORRORS... what was I thinking cramming all those images onto those pages?!

JULY 12, 2000

Split RETRO RAMPAGE up into two pages each.  I figured there was getting to be just too many images for a single page.  Same with MONSTER MANIA.

Also added something neat to the home page---rotating monster faces!

Found out that TV looks all wrong in Netscape.  Something in the HTML is pushing the tables out across the page.  That really sucks.  Guess that's what I get for doing all that hasty cut-and-paste.  I'll fix it next update.  Looks fine in IE.

JULY 1, 2000

Started a new page... a monthly TV guide to AMC's monster programming.  Just gonna' call the page TV for now.  Heh heh, love that channel.

JUNE 30, 2000

Decided to replace OLD STUFF with MONSTER MANIA, which like SHOP of HORRORS will be a never ending, merciless update-fest!  But, better that than "under construction" I guess.  Hey, that rhymed!

JUNE 26, 2000

Big news from Polar Lights over the weekend!  Added it all to RETRO RAMPAGE.  I just can not wait to get my hot little hands on Godzilla and the Planet of the Apes models!  Geez!  I got lots to do.  Heh.

JUNE 23, 2000

I just lied.  Rather than work on something for OLD STUFF, I instead found myself making monster icons for FREE STUFF.  Also added to LINKS and SHOP of HORRORS.

JUNE 19, 2000

HOORAY!  I finally managed to wade through enough pages of monster goodies on the Internet to open the SHOP of HORRORS.  But there's still more stuff I need to get.  At least I got the ball rolling on that for now.  I may tweak the look of SHOP in the near future to further the "Captain Company" look.

Next target... OLD STUFF.

Uploaded the first FREE STUFF item!  Made it myself!  Much, much more is to come!

Unfortunately, SHOP of HORRORS isn't going to be ready by tomorrow, so I'll have to feel like an idiot and change the ETA date on that page.  Also moved to the back burner is CHILLER THEATER (which I replaced with FREE STUFF for now) and OLD STUFF.
