CASTLE FAMOUS: WITCH DR. HEAD SHRINKERS KIT

CASTLE FAMOUS

There is nothing wrong with your computer. Do not attempt to adjust your settings. I am controlling transmission. If I wish to make it louder, I will bring up the volume. If I wish to make it softer, I will tune it to a whisper. I can reduce the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and I will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind of the Famous Monster of Minneapolis.

WITCH DR. HEAD SHRINKERS KIT

Here is a great vintage toy commercial I found while surfing the web. It's an old TV spot for the Witch Dr. Head Shrinkers Kit. The name itself is as strange as the toy.

Old black and white television commercials are so comforting to me. Why? .. I'm not sure. I guess it probably has something to do with wanting to be 10 years old again. And why would I want to be 10 years old again? Uh .. I'm not sure. Let's just enjoy this dang clip for what it is. Classic monster ephemera courtesy of YouTube. (videos here are in FLASH format, so make sure you have that enabled to see them)

BTW, does anybody out there have any other old monster toy related TV commercials? If so, I absolutely would love to see them! Please contact me if you would please!
