Cool and Creepy Stuff I Own - Part 3 - Pop-Up Dracula!

 



Today I’d like to share this lovely Pop-Up version of Dracula I found in a charity shop (thrift store, to you American types!)…..published by Walker Books, it’s a graphic novel style adaptation of Stoker’s classic, with lots of cool pictures coming out of the page and into your face as you read!

It’s probably best to let the images speak for themselves with this, although it might be a bit tricky to get the full effect given that they’re not in 3D. If I had an extra pair of hands I would have done a video, but my set up doesn’t allow for me to film and turn pages at the same time yet! Hopefully these will give you a rough idea of what to expect from the book….I won’t print much of the actual story though…you’ll need to find your own copy to read that!








I love this hell hound! Lets try a very poor attempt at a video to show you it in action as best as I can right now…



That might give you a slightly better idea of how that one works! These next few should work well enough in photos though….










There you go then….isn’t it great! I wonder what other books they have in their colection! I’ll need to keep an eye out for those too!




*Edit - A quick hunt online turned up another couple in the series! Definitely going to have to add these to the collection down the line too…they look just as awesome!
