The little Scholastic books that altered me forever. Part One.

One of the few parts of school I liked was ordering books from the Weekly Reader. This was my most treasured volume and is actually the second copy of this book I owned. My first copy became completely tattered and even at that age I felt the need to replace it. Awesome illustrations by Norman Bridwell.

My classic horror education began here.


My initial experimenting in special effects sprang from this.


This and Funny Magic were the books that added to the illusions.
