I just happened to look up, literally just now, at my BOOK OF THE DEAD latex foam thing, and the sucker is cracking around the spine. Damn it. Check yours, pronto.

I've had many foam latex props and masks for various films decompose and dry up over the years. Why wouldn't they make it out of a more durable latex? weird.

That's pretty much why I didn't buy one. I handled a friend's copy and figured it wasn't gonna have much of a shelflife unless bagged. Which just seemed too odd a thing to do with a fancy DVD holder.

Marty,

Is it drying out, or does it just have a split? The splitting can occur due to more then one reason, so that's why I'm asking. Also, how big is the split?
