POSTAGE WORTHY OF NIGHTMARES

Classic movie monsters will appear on a set of postage stamps being unveiled today for Halloween.

Ceremonies are being held at Universal Studios in Florida, where descendants of several actors who played movie monsters will be on hand.

Film characters to be highlighted on the 1997 stamps are Dracula, the Mummy, Phantom of the Opera, the Wolf Man and Frankenstein's monster.

Among those slated to attend the ceremonies are Sara Karloff, daughter of Boris; Bela Lugosi Jr.; and Ron Chaney, whose grandfather and great-grandfather, both named Lon Chaney, played monsters.
