   American Made Monster Studio


Riding down Ten Broeck Avenue in midtown Kingston you’ll pass the warehouse operated by American Made Monster Studio. You might be taken back and a little frightened as you come upon a zombie world or an alien nation inside this 4000 sq. ft. warehouse space, built back in 1955. It is the ideal wide-open space for the artists who make the creations for American Made Monster Studio. Here, these artists sculpt, weld, fabricate metal, mold, design sets, create lighting and sound, and do make up design on the most amazing projects and monster creations.   A massive array of tools, props, sets, costumes and life sized figures are utilized to create projects that have been used in various videos and movies. American Made Monster Studio was actually born out of a need from a sister company called, Headless Horseman Hayrides and Haunted Houses.  Almost a year in advance the artists of American Made Monster Studio collaborate and design new creations to ensure that the eight weekends leading up to Halloween are a huge success each year at Headless Horseman Hayrides and Haunted Houses!  Amercian Made Monster Studio has made big impressions in a variety of ways, but most recently at TransWorld’s Halloween & Attraction show. The ONLY industry trade show of its kind in the world, American Made Monster Studio was named Best New Booth as ‘Transworld’s 2015 Halloween & Attractions Show 1st Time Exhibitor.”




Mike and Nancy Jubie, owners and operators of American Made Monster Studio are not novices when it comes to creating and running successful businesses. While Mike and Nancy have had great success with Headless Horseman Hayrides for 20+ years, their first business, Sunshine Tees & Embroidery has been in operation since 1971.  Mike, a retired Kingston Police detective, and Nancy, a retired RN, started SunShine Tees next to UPAC in Kingston. Later, they moved to Kingston Plaza and now they are happily settled on Dedrick St. in midtown Kingston.   Back when they were located in the Kingston Plaza, is actually when they originally came to meet and do business with Bob Ryan, Jr.  Nancy Jubie explains,  “Bob happened to be at a nearby establishment and decided to come by to say ‘Hello’ with a few fellow friends. He made a lasting impression and we have been doing business together ever since.”  Nancy adds, “24 hours a day, weekends included, if there is ever a problem with our insurance or a question that we have, Bob is there to help us out!”  She continues to say, “Jeanne & Kathleen are always extremely helpful whenever I’m not dealing directly with Bob.”


Many people have contributed to the success of these three businesses that Mike and Nancy Jubie have created and operated in the city of Kingston, NY throughout the past 40+ years.  One thing is certain; they have dedicated, talented and hardworking staffs that help in the success of all of their businesses on a daily basis.   So if you are ever in need of ‘burning your brand’ on a T-shirt, sign or banner, visit SunShine Tees' website or give them a call.  And if you’re looking for a little fright during the Halloween season, be sure to visit Headless Horseman Hayrides & Haunted Houses where all of American Made Monster Studio creations are sure to send shivers down your spine!
