This is the cover art from a 45rpm 7" titled "Music For Monsters", issued by a company called Sounds Records out of Glendale, CA some time in the 1960s:
The cover definitely looks photographic, to me, and I am guessing that the werewolf sculpt used was not a one-off made just for this picture, but a commercially-available toy or model. Anyone have a clue about it? Please let me know! Thanks in advance!

It's too good for a Halloween mask from back then?
Nostalgia can be a bad thing, especially when you are led by it.

I would say so, yeah- plus, it would have to have been a full-head mask... that would be unheard of, back then, in commercially available product! (Somebody correct me if I'm wrong!)scuzzfink85 wrote:It's too good for a Halloween mask from back then?

Looks to me like someone used a screen grab from a monster movie then did a painting over it.
The original photo probably bore little resemblance to the finished product.

Werewolf on the cover is from the The werewolf 1956 movie.ungawa222 wrote:This is the cover art from a 45rpm 7" titled "Music For Monsters", issued by a company called Sounds Records out of Glendale, CA some time in the 1960s:

Travelers to unknown regions would be well-advised to take along the family dog. He could just save you from entering the wrong gate.

Re: Can anyone ID this vintage werewolf/wolfman head sculpt?
Good thought, but I don't believe so. What I think we're looking at here is a hand-colored photo of a sculpture. Looking at the shapes, where the light falls... the forms are too perfect. If someone on the design staff of this cheapie sound effects records company hand-painted over a film still of a make-up or mask for this release, I strongly doubt there would be such a perfecting of the forms and striations in the fur.temperflash wrote:Looks to me like someone used a screen grab from a monster movie then did a painting over it.

Good lead, Wolfman, and this very well could be a sculpt based on the character, but after studying the still from the movie available online and the look of the actual make-up, I don't believe this is an (altered) still from the film.WOLFMAN66 wrote:Werewolf on the cover is from the The werewolf 1956 movie.
