Hey, here's a TEN FOOT Doritos/Pepsi "Monster Bash" banner from the early '90s. This would've hung in the long front window of a supermarket, or maybe on the side of a building. It's absolutely ENORMOUS. (Take note of the Invisible Man, who was the Halloween mascot for Crystal Pepsi, of course!)

Fantasmicalloween Day 12: The Encounter.

A girl holding a trick or treating pail walks through a graveyard to a smiling scarecrow staked among the tall grass. Leaves flutter through the orange moon night sky. A crow with a bright eye is perched on the scarecrow's crossbar.

Fall Forever : The Crossing Guard

A Halloween night scene shows three children in homemade costumes—a Dalmatian, a superhero, and a mad scientist—looking terrified at a crosswalk. Behind them, is their poor, run-down neighborhood. Across the street, the homes are well-kept and warmly lit with Halloween decorations and string lights, hinting that the better candy awaits on that side. In the middle of the street however, floats a ghostly crossing guard, wearing a tattered safety vest marked with a dark tire track. It holds up a bent stop sign to the children and it’s cracked glasses glow with eerie yellow light. The entire scene is bathed in a sepia-orange glow under a full moon, evoking both nostalgia and dread.

No problem if not, but did you ever find anything on what parts of Memphis Lovecraft visited when he was there?

Our movies of “The Call of Cthulhu” and “The Whisperer in Darkness” are once again available to stream on Amazon prime, at least in the US. And on Tubi, and of course on DVD from our store with fun bonus features!

Everything I read about this series as it relates to Batman the character himself(as a literal lifelong Batman fan) sounds incredible.

Then I read about the villains and my next thought is “this is fucking ridiculous.”

No in between. It’s crazy.

It’s October 🎃, and I’m celebrating with a book thread! Every day I’m going to share a Halloweeny tome that I adore, either from childhood or my list of current reads.

1. The Pennywhistle Halloween Book, a party planner older than me held together by tape and love. Full of great ideas and pictures.
