Dinosaurs Attack Sticker Six Plesiosaurus

At least the Plesiosaurus is a meat eater but its neck isn't that long and its teeth couldn't do that kind of damage. It is possible for this to be a reasonable representation of an animal in this family, but not that possible. There should also be more blood in the water if a man was bitten in half. 

I will give this card a higher rating given that it's an armed man against a big beast. So, this is more cool than gross. I'll give this a not bad.

Dinosaurs Attack Sticker Five Parasaurolophus

Parasaurolophus would neither have the dexterity nor drive to eat a human child if it ever encountered one. It likely walked on all fours and couldn't pick up the infant. Maybe it would be able to eat one off the ground. However, it ate plants. This animal would have been more likely to trample a human rather than eat one.

I get that they wanted a sticker that was gross but this isn't gross in a cool way. I give this card a meh.

Dinosaurs Attack Sticker Four Brontosaurus

 

It is unlikely that a Brontosaurus was pink. It is even more unlikely that they had those big sharp toenails. I also think this depiction is grossly oversized and out of proportion. I know you need to show me monsters here, but they don't all need to want to eat me. 

This sticker gets a Meh.

Dinosaurs Attack Sticker Three Dimetrodon


 That's one big Dimetrodon. I mean, it's a Dimetrodon times ten. Why we need to beef up our dinosaurs I don't know. Still, cool card.

Dinosaurs Attack Sticker Two Ankylosaurus

The sticker art for these old cards sucks. Look at this Ankylosaurus. Standing on its front legs trying to flick a hippy off its tail. WTF bro?

Dinosaurs Attack Sticker One Allosaurus

Here we have an Allosaurus trying to pinch the dink on this headless dude. WTF Al, and why are your hands so big for your kind? Also, the Allosaurus is known for having more of a neck.

Anyway, bloody fun with sticker one.

Dinosaurs Attack Wax Pack 3

 

Hand this wax pack rapper to Brandon Tenold and see if the man doesn't need new pants. Featuring wrong colored dinos fighting as human run about like ants at their feet this is probably the first pack art commission for this set. Sans the blood and gore,  this was to let n dino lovers they were in for a real world of teeth and scales.

Dinosaurs Attack! Wax Pack 2

This is another of the three wax packs that once told you that you were in for some more dino-gore with Dinosaurs Attack by Topps. 

It shows you what we thought a T-Rex may have looked liked back when I was a kid. We think they were more colorful than that now. 

The man getting eaten here has black blood implying that he is a zombie. That was probably done more to sensor the pack art so that it could be sold in a toy store.

This is a little more grounded than the last pack but still out there enough.

Dinosaurs Attack Wax Pack 1

'Dinosaurs Attack' is a 1988 Topps set of trading cards and this is one of the three wax packs I could find from these cards. It features an oversized sauropod going Godzilla on a city as oversized helicopters take it on. 

Where as this doesn't let you in on the gore your in for with these cards it does tell you that you're in for one killer ride. 

I haven't seen the whole deck myself yet, but here we go. I'm on my way.

AQUARIUS Hammer House of Horror Playing Cards Deck

I found at good deal of joy in this Aquarius card deck, but I have a love of old movies and printing. If your a horror fan this card deck will give you something fun to play with that and could serve for a drinking game if you have a hammer collection. I would have liked the cards to be more divers in their films but that is a small issue.

I would give this a B-. These are fun but they could be better.

AQUARIUS Hammer House of Horror Playing Cards - Ace of Spades

 

A movie we have already had in this deck of cards and not the coolest poster for it anyway. The Ace of Spades is normally the coolest card in the deck. Disappointing.

AQUARIUS Hammer House of Horror Playing Cards - King of Spades


 It looks like you took a Frankenstein poster and put a hot chick on it. Let's be clear, any movie can use more hot chicks but Frankenstein is and odd choice. 

Card is good.

AQUARIUS Hammer House of Horror Playing Cards - Queen of Spades


 Hammer's 1967 'Prehistoric Women' poster is more proof that click bate is not a new thing. This is right for a queen but not a queen of spades. 

Card is okay.

AQUARIUS Hammer House of Horror Playing Cards - Jack of Spades


 Bloodthirsty Vampire sounds like my sister... or my step mother. (Shudder) so much evil in my world. Simple and functional this card is just okay.

AQUARIUS Hammer House of Horror Playing Cards - 10 of Spades

The Devil's Bride!? This doesn't look anything like my sister. I guess you can't put her on a poster because it would make people sick.
 

I love this artwork but the devil looks surprised.

AQUARIUS Hammer House of Horror Playing Cards - 8 of Spades

Another name for 'The Quatermass Xperiment' The Creeping Unknown is about someone who went to space and got Fantastic Foured. The resulting creature feature is what one would expect.

I like this because it stands out. Good card.

AQUARIUS Hammer House of Horror Playing Cards - 7 of Spades

The 1967 film 'Quatermass and the Pit' is also known as 'Five Million Years to Earth'. This is one of the more interesting films in the Hammer store but I would need to really dedicate some time to Quatermass. 

Interesting card.

AQUARIUS Hammer House of Horror Playing Cards - Jack of Hearts


 Don't dare see it alone! says is poster for Hammer's Dracula. I'm so going to see this alone. The threshold for scary has changed a good deal in the last century. I mean, I've been in a room with my sister after she had Taco Bell.

AQUARIUS Hammer House of Horror Playing Cards - 9 of Hearts

Ah, twins of evil, how can I make a sister joke about this? I only have one sister, evil as she may be, she is only one. Well, she has the evil for a room full of people and is the size of twin Godzillas!
