Here’s another animated Medusa bust for Halloween display. Or year-round display if you’re like me. Clever design places the play button as the snake head pin on her left shoulder. (see the other one I saw at Lowes).
Now this is a cool item to scare your party guests with. Looks innocent enough, but…bam!
I see this out of the corner of my eye, in Target, and I'm blown away. Time was I used to shop for toys, now I only shop for domestic-related stuff like cleaner, high-fiber cereal, toilet tissue, you know, the boring but essential stuff. I miss shopping for toys. Especially when cool stuff like this Inhuman Squishy Zombie from Smart Lab beckons to the kid in me. Hell, its got removable limbs and flesh, too! And it comes with a coloring book to "bring your zombie to life!"
I found this charming animated rocking granny (or crone, take your pick) at Walgreens this year. She's so feisty!
Come in, come in. Plenty of room under the bed sheet. My, it's a chilly one tonight, isn't it. Don't worry, it's just the batteries in your flashlight causing it to flicker. It's only midnight. I heard the ghosts and monsters don't come out to play until 2am. Besides, horror magazines act like a talisman to ward them off. So snuggle closer. Tonight's reading is The Monster Times, issue number 23. It's all about Godzilla, you know. He just can't stop talking about himself. Such an ego.

I found this enchanting Halloween novelty in an Eckerd store in 2003. My, where does the time go, right? I couldn’t resist. Had it lying in a box ever since then, but now’s the time to enjoy it.
George Kennedy loses it as survivors wind up not really surviving. Worth a look, but don’t trip over your feet rushing to do so.

Sure, it's a guilty pleasure. Molly Ringwald, Michael Ironside, Peter Strauss, and Ernie Hudson looking much like he did in Ghostbusters. What's not to like?

Here's the Mexican lobby card for the television movie, Captain America II: Death Too Soon. And I bet you thought you knew every movie Christopher Lee appeared in, didn't you?
I recently downloaded the second issue of The Haunted Toybox and read this MAXx FX article reprinted here. MAXx FX was a fantastic toy idea that didn’t survive the marketing monster. But now, with Face Off and the heightened interest in makeup and special effects, I think it’s time to revisit Max Miracle, Master of Make-UP and Special Effects. Issue two also has articles on Monster 500 (which had me running off to Toys R Us to find them; and I did), and Rat Fink and Rad Rods (which made me drool). Johnny Lightning’s Creepsters (wish TRU had continued that line) and a lot more is stuffed into the issue, too. With permission from the mad toymaniacs at The Haunted Toybox here’s The Lost FX of MAXx FX.
