Spookarama Cyclops under Wonder Wheel Park

I had the honor of getting a tour of the Wonder Wheel vault last weekend. I was happy to see the old Spookarama props have been saved for posterity!

Spookarama Cyclops

Vintage Mardi Gras Mermaid

Last Sunday, Steve Vouderis gave Dick Zigun and I a tour of the vault under the Wonder Wheel kiddie park. It was quite a treasure trove of props from Spookarama over the years. Here, Steve and Dick are inspecting a Mermaid that was made in the 30’…

Looks like Kembra from the Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black to me!

Mangels Shooting Gallery at Wonder Wheel park

Behind the modern light beam shooting Gallery in Coney island lies this gem- an authentic William Mangels shooting gallery. Reeks of WWI to me, but may be later- 1930’s? Anyone know?
