Halloween in September!

If we can have Christmas in July, why not Halloween in September? To start us off on the right Halloween foot of fright, here's a vintage ad for one of those great Aurora monster model kits. But this isn't just any monster—it's the terrifying cyclops from the classic TV series, Lost in Space—and that makes it "REALLY Far out!" Not so coincidentally, today marks the 48th anniversary of the premiere of that science-fantasy odyssey on CBS on September 15, 1965. The cyclops made for one of the best Aurora monster hobby kits (be sure and click on the ad for a larger view) ever released by that classic company. Aftear all, Aurora was "The Official Kit of the TV Show!" The Lost in Space monster also makes for a hard-to-miss warning sign that Halloween is coming...as is a certain Halloween blogathon too. Or as the B9 Robot himself might say, "Warning! Warning, Will Robinson!"

 The cyclops originally appeared in the "There Were Giants in The Earth" episode, October 6, 1965



Be sure and "stay tuned" to Tulgey Wood for more info on the upcoming blogathon.
