I love traveling through SFO’s Terminal 2, because the airport have their own “museum” display cases and I’ve rarely seen an exhibition there I didn’t like (and I’ve seen over a dozen to date). This one of mostly 1960s-era monster ephemera from the collection of Kirk Hammett was especially intriguing, and triggered in me the need to re-watch Monster Squad for the first time since it was released in 1987:
