Diorama of a young boy’s room in the 1960s and 70s. The boy is blondish, wearing green and white pajamas with an iron-on image of Frankenstein on the front of his shirt. He sits on a chair next to a folding table, which has parts from a Creature From The Black Lagoon model kit, assembly instructions, and a box bottom containing model paints and Testors glue, along with a Goofy Grape cup filled with paint brushes. The table is protected with a color comics page from the Sunday newspaper. The boy, with a Frankenstein Halloween mask perched on top of his head, is focusing intently on attaching the Creature’s arm to the body, with a drip of glue visibly dangling. One eye is closed, the other is wide with an arched eyebrow, and his tongue pokes out in concentration. At his feet are multiple boxes of Glow-In-The-Dark model kits, including The Mummy and the Witch. On top of the Witch box is an orange bowl with another “Funny Face” character, filled to the brim with milk and cereal. To the right is a Freakies cereal box. Behind him is a lamp with a large shade, featuring faces of classic monster movie characters.

Close-up of the boy in the chair, showing details of his model making arrangement. You can see he is wearing deer foam style slippers, one of which has fallen off and sits on the floor beneath the table.

Record sleeve featuring a color illustration of Kurt Russell wearing brown pants, a red sweater with a large letter “M” on the front, holding a book in his left hand. His right finger presses a button on an anthropomorphic computer, with tape reels for eyes and a drawn smile with a tongue poking out. The computer appears to be jumping in the air with tennis shoes as feet. It has blown it’s lid, showing clouds of smole and sparks, while computer cards, nuts and bolts shoot out if an opening in its side. Multicolored “shock” lines surround Kurt’s body, and his shoelaces are sprung out in curlicues. The background is yellow with a Vista Records logo in the upper right corner. Text reads: “FROM THE WALT DISNEY MOTION PICTURE, THE COMPUTER
WORE TENNIS SHOES. Words and Music by
Bruce Belland/Robert F. Brunner. 1969 Walt Disney Productions. Printed in U.S.A.”

Comparison photos showing The Black Widow stretching portrait from Disneyland’s Haunted mansion above, and the publicity photo of Joan Crawford and Bette Davis below. A red arrow points to Joan Crawford, seated sidesaddle on a white tombstone, which is similar to the image of the woman holding a rose in the stretching portrait.
