Description

Aurora Castle Creature The Vampire AFA 80+ ** POP 1, Highest Grade ** (Aurora, 1966). From Aurora's delightfully offbeat Castle Creatures line, this is the tongue-in-cheek, wide-eyed lady vampire-more goofy ghoul than graveyard terror. The artwork leans full tilt into mid-'60s camp with bats, a black cat, and the knowingly corny "I love to go out at night... way out" tagline, all nods to William Castle-style spook show fun. It is playful monster mania, served with a wink, and a perfect snapshot of Aurora's pop-horror sense of humor. Graded NM 80+ by AFA, this example stands as POP 1, Highest Grade on the census. A quirky classic that vamps instead of vamps, this kit brings the giggles with the gothic. It is tailor-made for collectors who prize the zany side of '60s monster culture, where camp, color, and clever copy ruled the coffin. Add this charming night-owl to your shelf and let the laughs rise from the crypt.
