Steel armatures that were the “skeleton” for the King Kong models in the original 1933 film.
The last surviving original armature is owned by actor, prop archivist, and fan supreme Bob Burns (that’s the armature, and Burns’ elbow, in the top photo).
Burns once told the story of how he and his wife were invited to New Zealand by director Peter Jackson.  Jackson at the time was filming his version of King Kong.  Burns brought along the Kong armature to show Jackson.  Unfortunately, TSA agents at the airport, upon scanning Burns’ luggage, thought he had a baby skeleton.  They took Burns to an empty room where he quickly explained what the armature was.  The TSA agents immediately turned into geekish fanboys, and were delighted when Burns removed the armature and demonstrated how it worked.
The rest of the trip was, thankfully, uneventful.
Burns and his wife have a brief, “blink-and-you’ll-miss-it,” cameo in Jackson’s film,outside the theatre where King Kong is being exhibited.

Fanzine Friday #19: Happy Halloween Magazine v. 3 no. 1 (2000) by the Global Halloween Alliance
Happy Halloween Magazine was a zine that "focused on Halloween, the historical and contemporary celebrations of Halloween, promoting a positive view of Halloween, and providing a network of Halloween lovers." While we only have this one issue, it's certainly jam-packed with Halloween enthusiasm. Check out some of these listings from its table of contents:
"How To's: Planning a Home Haunted House or Room" by Sarah Briggs
"Screams for Charity!" by Kathy Marcrum
"I Haunted GM" by Larry Redmond
"Doug Elliot's Ghoulishly Fun, Salt-Free, Environmentally-Save [sic], FDIC-Insured Vampire Trivia Quiz and Answers" by Doug Elliot
The featured article is about Bob Burns (a film editor) and his "Halloween Extravaganzas": elaborate haunted houses at his home in Burbank, California, in the 1960s-70s. The article focuses on Burns' new alien "friend" that arrived at his home in 2000, as seen on the cover.
Longtime Tumblr users will be interested to know that this edition features a review of Andrew Gold's album Halloween Howls (1996). Why that's significant: Halloween Howls is the album in which the beloved "Spooky Scary Skeletons" can be found! Gold wrote the song and its fellows to fill a niche of catchy Halloween songs that weren't too scary for his daughters. Did you know that "Spooky Scary Skeletons" was written to emphasize the letter 'S' on every major word?
The Browne Popular Culture Library (BPCL), founded in 1969, is the most comprehensive archive of its kind in the United States.  Our focus and mission is to acquire and preserve research materials on American Popular Culture (post 1876) for curricular and research use.
