Spring 2005 | See Past News

Welcome back:

Now that spring has arrived, the art museum is about to open on Saturday, May 7^th.For your convenience in the museum section of the web site, I have put in directions and hotel/motel accommodations if you decide to visit the Pocono’s this year. I have included many photographs and alternate routes when the heavy traffic begins in the summer months due to tourism. You are more than welcome to call 570-424-5833 for any information pertaining to the museum or ordering questions.Mrs. Frazetta has also added many new paintings and drawings throughout the gallery and the Death Dealer oil paintings are now hanging together magnificently on the museum walls instead of on the easels as they were last year. We are just 90 minutes from New York City and Philadelphia, and 4o minutes from the Lehigh Valley airport located in Bethlehem , PA. Reservations are not necessary when visiting with us, and numerous attractions are near by if you decide to spend the day or weekend in the Pocono’s. Mr. Frazetta does occasionally show up without notice in the Art Gallery for the delight of the fans and will normally spend time with each fan to answer any or all of their questions pertaining to his artwork. Mrs. Frazetta does work every weekend and will gladly help you any way she can. If you have not been to the museum yet, there is over 90 original oils hanging on the walls with an assortment of pen and inks and pencil drawings. There is also a gallery store centrally located in the museum to purchase posters, books, statues and the Masters collection. We do except all major credit cards and offer layaways on most items available. The museum is located on the Frazettas 75 acre estate with a beautiful lake just outside the museum. We have a beautiful stone patio attached to the museum where you may sit outside and enjoy the siren setting overlooking the rolling hills of the Poconos. Most of the Frazetta family resides on the estate but Franks daughters have relocated to Boca Grande Florida where the museum was moved some years back. It was another fantastic place to visit but very difficult to find.

This being the 3^rd of the Frazetta museums, this is by far the most beautiful and accessible to the fans. The Dark Kingdom statue is now being cast domestically for the limited 15 hand painted pieces that will be offered. Each will be hand painted, signed and numbered by Frank Frazetta and will be one of the most sought after collectables in the years to come. This wonderful sculpture stands over 12 inches tall with every detail duplicated to the original painting exactly. This was done by Steven Lord and he did work closely with Mr. Frazetta throughout the process. With just minor corrections made during the entire process, Mr. Frazetta is thrilled with the final product just as you will be. The initial production run will be cast overseas and we are looking for the first shipment to arrive late this fall. The original introductory price was $199 signed and now they are $279.00. They will be $399.00 by the end of summer. Remember, each of the first 250 will be signed and numbered by Mr. Frazetta personally, then the remainder will produced without signature. So if you are looking for a great collectable and one that will surely go up in value in the years to come. There will be a few hand painted Dark Kingdom statues on display in the museum this year.

My brother Bill has just finished constructing his own nightclub/bar just above his costume/horror store located in East Stroudsburg. This is something he always wanted at his home in Marshall’s Creek, but the magnitude of the project it was not ever going to look like it belonged. The room alone is 27x50 with 14 foot ceilings. It has a solid oak bar and a gorgeous slate pool table in the center of the room. The first private party was last weekend with just a small hand picked guest list of close friends and family members.

A few years ago this was his second business residence comprised of a horror museum with an assortment of moving props from werewolves to an electric chair that actually worked with a lifelike manikin that was electrocuted with all realistic sounds and smoke. To see it work was almost as if you were at a real execution. It was a bit to realistic for my blood. But now the room is a classy take from an old horror film and one he should be proud to display. I would assume there will be numerous get together monthly with every one looking forward to the next party. We all enjoyed the night out including both of our parents and close friends.

Thank you for visiting with us and hope to see you this summer.,
