Stic-Pics "Iron-On Monsters" were available in 3 sizes (4", 7" & 11"). Though advertised in mags throughout most of the '60s and '70s, they rarely turn up on the collector's market.

Castle Films 8mm home movies used wonderful graphics, especially on their Universal horror and sci-fi digest boxes. "Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man" and "Dracula" are two of the best.
Standard Plastic Products' three monster notebook binders use the same artwork that appeared on the packaging for Hasbro's Frankenstein, Dracula and Wolf Man "paint-by numbers" craft kits. There is some doubt that these were even made by SPP.
The Frankenstein Target Game had Glenn Strange "Frankenstein" inspired art that was embedded with sharp spikes at which you would throw styrofoam balls to score points.
Lots of great monster art could be found on monster / Halloween records of the '60s and '70s. E. C. Comics legend Jack Davis drew many of them, but not this excellent example of the cover for "The Phantom of the Organ".
A marvelous Frankenstein illustration can be seen on the cover of a package of cardboard punch-out monster masks. It was, however, the only movie monster among the six masks.

The Aurora model kit boxes feature some of the very best monster art of the 1960s. James Bama's paintings for The Mummy and The Creature are the only surviving unaltered originals from the long box series. The others were painted over to created the art for the '70s "glow-in-the-dark" kit boxes.
The six foot color Frankenstein door poster (along with it's Dracula counterpart) is an icon of
1960s monster mania. A beautifully rendered piece by an, unfortunately, unknown artist.
One of the most sought after '60s monster toys, Marx's 12" battery operated Frankenstein came in a beautifully illustrated box.
The SPP (Standard Plastic Products) monster wallets came with 2 monster illustrations (one on each side) and included four monster credit cards and a "magic slate" and red stylus. The most common pairings were Frankenstein / Dracula, Creature / Wolf Man and Mummy / Phantom, though other combinations have been seen.
