Gabriel Dell - Famous Monsters Speak (Blk) [Colored Vinyl] (Red) Vinyl Record

Limited red and black splatter colored vinyl LP pressing. Produced by in 1963 Jim Warren of Creepy and Famous Monsters of Filmland fame, Famous Monsters Speak features a script by Cherney Berg, who co-wrote and produced episodes of the groundbreaking 1950's TV series The Goldbergs, and also worked as story editor for the 1966 Rankin-Bass King Kong animated series. Berg also handled writing chores for other spooky children's records, such as Scary Spooky Stories and The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow. The album's first side is set at a super-scary scientific convention where they play recordings of the Frankenstein monster. Side two focuses on everyone's favorite vampire, Dracula, in a story where someone stumbles upon the location of his crypt. The voice work for the entire album is done by Gabriel Dell, who had formerly starred in movies with the Dead End Kids, the East Side Kids, and the Bowery Boys. The vinyl version of the album, originally released on the children's label Wonderland/Golden Records, has long been out of print, and is a highly sought after collectable.
