Monster View-Masters


I won this on eBay last week. It's a Wolf Man View-Master set from 1978. It's still shrinkwrapped with an unpunched card. Now, here's the dilema. Should I open it? I have the Frankenstein and Dracula View-Master sets and they are open. I've never seen the Wolf Man reels. What should I do?

Frankenstein View-Master Part II

Back on Oct. 28 I made a post about the Frankenstein View-Master by GAF from 1976. I included scans of the packet and the read-along booklet. But, I couldn't copy the frames from the reels. Thanks to blog-reader Neal Snow for copying most of the frames and giving me permission to use them (frames one through four are missing). I've included the captions from the reels under each picture. Here's Neal's original message --

My Frankenstein reels are not the best in quality, but here they are anyways.

To see the images at full size, click once, then click on "zoom".
BTW, feel free to grab these and post them here if nobody comes up with any better images.


Thanks again Neal. If I ever find the first four frames, I'll add them to this post.

(This cover is different than mine)

A1 Dr. Frankenstein, his wife and son were happy...

A2 ...until the day lightning struck their tree.

A3 As Frankenstein watched the tree burn...

A4 ...the lightning's power gave him an idea.


A5 He was building a man in his laboratory.

A6 He invented a lightning machine.

A7 Its power brought the monster to life!

B1 The man walked! Frankenstein shrank in fear.

B2 The monster lurched by them and escaped.

B3 He hid in the woods beside a cottage.

B4 He peeked in the window at the family...

B5 ...a blind man and his two grandchildren.

B6 The boy, in fear, struck the monster!

B7 "You're a beast for creating me, Doctor!"

C1 He followed the Doctor's son to a cliff.

C2 Frankenstein saved the boy just in time!

C3 The monster spied on the Doctor, then...

C4 ...seized his wife, Elizabeth!

C5 She fell over the cliff to her death.

C6 The Doctor lured the monster to his lab.

C7 Lightning struck the castle and destroyed it!

Frankenstein View-Master

Here's the Frankenstein View-Master by GAF from 1976. Included are scans of the front and back of the packet and all of the pages from the read-along story booklet. I tried scanning the little pieces of film on the reels and zooming in on them, but they wouldn't come out. I even tried to take close-up pictures of them with my digital camera. No luck.
