Collegeville Spooky Spooks Skeleton
Halloween Costume

/ Halloween Costume / Leave a Comment

eBay'r theangryspider listed this Collegeville Spooky Spooks Skeleton. The only bone to pick I have with his photos is that he (or she) didn't unfold the vinyl skeleton suit, which looks like it has an awesome illustration we can't see. So that's a tad annoying. I've noticed sellers tend to not unfold vinyl costumes much when listing them. Odd. I wonder why? I can tell you though, that, after 30 minutes in a vinyl costume, you would sweat down to a skeleton yourself.

Horror Tales Vol. 2, No. 3, 1970

/ Magazine Morgue / Leave a Comment

Lots of gruesome terror in this issue of Horror Tales, beginning with those vile monsters torturing their poor victim. Ghouls running amok, rail-kill hits the tracks, and horror comes to room 1313, all drawn with verve and nerve to bring a chill to your ebookish ways. Just try to keep your head, unlike the poor fool stalked by the lady killer in the last story.

Another Scary Clown to Call My Own

/ Desktop Stuff / 1 Comment

On a recent jaunt to Crossville, Tennessee, I came across this groady little clown statuette in an antique shop. Yes, his nose is a light bulb and shines bright when lit. Yes, he's quite a scary and ugly little thing. Yes, he's really not, and I repeat not, a good gift idea. But I couldn't resist. I can only imagine those poor kids scared in their beds when their parents brought this night light home. So, you may Elf on the Shelf, but I've got…well, you know…

Halloween 2016 Sighted at Michaels

/ Halloween Novelty / Leave a Comment

Michaels Craft Stores are always a big-deal visit for Halloween. Their focus is on the smaller, home-oriented decorations that dress up any party and decor with a retro, Gothic style. And this year is the largest selection I've seen. And of course, there's the Lemax Spooky Town Halloween Village collection, too. And they bring it all out before September! Lovely.
