The floating hat - Monster 3
In 1853 Dr. Remus Van Shelton was experimenting with a formula that would turn him invisible. He worked tirelessly to come upon the right formula. During this process he invented many products we now enjoy like colorless tape, the door knob and the elastic wastband. The closest he ever got to the forumla that would turn him invisible was getting his derby to float several inches off his head.

FrankenFurry - Monster 16
As a P.R. stunt after the whole Frankenstein monster debacle Dr. Frankenstein created FrankenFurries.
Kids everywhere wanted one. People just loved these rejuvenated bunnies.
Once again Dr. Frankenstein was back in the good graces of his community. He expanded the FrankenFurries line to include Lamas, Aardvarks and Komodo Dragons but none had the appeal of the bunny. His good standing wasn't long lived. Other mad scientist got into the game of creating there own line of mutated beasts for kids. Foreseeing this outcome the Doctor had predisposed his FrankenFurries to destroy knockoff brands. When people carrying there Frankenfurries met up with someone walking the knockoff brand . . . well let's just say it wasn't pretty.

Cory Wade was a real life notorious gunslinger.
Legend has it that lost his eye in a nasty game of Go Fish!
He replaced his eye with a solid gold eye that he called "Pearl".

To this day Wade's spirit wanders the grave site where he is buried looking for his beloved golden eye, Pearl.
Many years later his eye turned up in a bowl of soup.
Today you can see Wade's golden eye at The Smithsonian - Museum of American History.

Cragquarium - Monster 19
Part shellfish, part diver helmet, part fishbowl. Put those together with a monkey suit and you have CRAGQUARIUM the most outlandish B-Mobie monster of all time. Yes I said mobie thats no typo. Well it is, but it was on purpose. B-Mobies are even worse than B-movies, because they were filmed by people who accidently erased them before they could ever be show to audiences, who would have demanded their money back.
Cragquarium was the forerunner and inspiration for many of the slow lumbering monsters to appear in later sci-fi and horror movies of the 50's and 60's.
Sherman the square with many eyes - Monster 20
Sherman really doesn't look that menacing, but just you turn out the lights and you will change your mind.
Have you ever had the feeling you were being watched? Walked through the woods at night and had menacing eyes staring back at you? That was Sherman. He is most famous for his cartoon work on shows like Scooby Doo where he was seen in the intro to the show.
Lenny the evil carnival balloon - Monster 21
Lenny is that nice balloon you got at the theme park or carnival that kept trying his best to get away.
If he did escape your clutches, because you were distracted by the cotton candy, he laughed and laughed that evil helium balloon laugh all the way into the stratosphere.
If by some chance your mom tied him to your wrist he would constantly aggravate your dad by bobbing up and down in the rearview mirror all the way home. His favorite prank was floating into your room while you were sleeping. You would awaken to Lenny floating across the room. Gripped by shear terror that the Bell Witch was back for revenge you would pass out till morning. The next day Lenny was sitting in your floor lifeless.
Evil balloons have a short life span.

Ms. Crugly - Monster 22
Ms. Crugly has the old house at the top of the hill. The old place that all the kids in town are convinced is haunted.
Many a boy in the neighborhood has lost his baseball in there. Once Kevin Slapenski thought he heard the house burb after eating his brand new kick ball. It's said that a group of kids went into the house to recover some baseballs. They were greeted by Ms. Cugley welcoming them in with warm cookies and ice cold milk. Some of the kids ran out screaming "It's a trap!!!". Some, like myself, couldn't resist and just had to try the cookies. They were the best cookies I had ever tasted. So what if they turned me into a mouse.
