About Us

The Monster Company was founded in 2003, however the original inspiration and passion for the business came after watching a plethora of movies from childhood. The fascination with Monsters started in the late seventies and eighties with movies such as; Bladerunner, John Carpenters Halloween, The Thing, Clive Barker’s Hellraiser, James Camerons Terminator 2, The Star Wars Trilogy, David Lynch's Dune, Superman, Ridley Scott's Legend, Jaws, The Dark Crystal, Jim Henson’s Muppet Movies, Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone, old Hammer Horror, Amicus, American International and Universal Monster / Horror Movies. The passion continues through films such as Tron Legacy, Batman The Dark Knight Rises, REC., Repo The Genetic Opera, Ridley Scotts Prometheus, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2, The Avengers, Rob Zombie’s Devils Rejects, Peter Jackson’s Lord Of The Rings / The Hobbit, Misfits, The Walking Dead, True Blood, Dexter, Chuck etc. We sold childhood Star Wars collections and worked for the infamous company Creatures Unlimited for a while learning all about the Monster Business. The excitement and enthusiasm (which is still evident today) of the big screen and T.V. as well as its complementary proprietary and collectable merchandise motivated us in so many ways to found the business ‘The Monster Company’ in 2003. We have been dealing with film related collectibles for over 23 years and have built up (and continue to build) the business along with a wealth of knowledge and industry contacts, beneficial to both collectors and dealers alike.

Our company philosophy is to provide high quality exciting and hard to find collectables to fans of movies, T.V. and games. We are ever growing in understanding of the market supplying items of memorabilia, driving the business vehicle forward through innovative and efficient practices, bringing knowledge and resources back into the industry and community to create new opportunities. Our advertisements appear in Horror Hound, Empire and Shock Horror magazines, there are also products appearing in a Monster Company Store on eBay.
