Oh, Gawd! I remember those books. That kinda freaked me out. I swear I was in denial of the whole thing for years!

Those tell-all instruction manuals were scarier than Stephen King to me as a kid.

just one more reason to stay away from the mirror.

I’m still amazed AND weirded out by inner human bits-n-such!

Am I the only person that found those books interesting as a kid?

I actually dug that stuff, too. I’ve always seemed to like pictures of skulls and skeletons. But that said, I had a friend with that “Visible Man” figure, and THAT was creepy. Skulls I can take, but the muscular and circulatory systems freak me right out.

yeah, there’s no way to explain that to a kid & have it not sound terrifying.

Ha…the visible man was great. What about the book with the clear plastic pages that you turned the page to reveal more of the insides? First was the man, then his muscles, then organs, then bones.

dgriff13: Ever read Ray Bradbury’s “Skeleton”?
Bearman: I don’t think I ever saw one of those, but it sounds keen! You know, for us morbidly inclined folks.

The kid’s got quite an active imagination already!

Definitely a double-edged sword!

Awesome expression from Sprout. Normally he has this ‘curious’ look on his face, it’s nice to see him shocked!

I’ll try to put him in more terrifying situation in the future

I love this one! Being obsessed with Halloween since I could grasp the concept, I always thought it was so cool, as a kid, that I had one of those scary and cool looking skeletons inside me. I still think it’s pretty cool, actually.
