Collector's Call S6E25: Phil Meenan: Monsters

Overview

Phil Meenan's monster collection is head-and-shoulders above the rest -- with more than a thousand items celebrating the iconic eight-foot Frankenstein monster. Phil's devotion to the creature covers every inch of wall space in his home, and nearly every inch of his head (with Franken-themed tattoos). Among the items he shares with Lisa are a prop wire from the lab in 1931's "Frankenstein," a wildly oversized Mardi Gras mascot head, and a chilling original oil painting of Lon Chaney, Jr. as the monster. To appraise Phil's collection, Lisa has brought along Rudy Munis, whose vintage horror mask collection was the subject of a previous episode; Rudy will also try to tempt Phil to give up some of his Franken-treasures in exchange for some vintage items he's brought with him -- in a nail-biting, monster of a trade scene.
