Remco Mini Monsters are some of my favorite action figures. My carded collection and my loose originals. A thread...

What are your thoughts on Rosemary's Baby 1968 being an inspiration for Hereditary 2018? Demonic cults, child possession to host the demon paimon vs. birthing the antichrist, nude rituals, gaslighting by a family member, questioning sanity, etc.

Joy? Or sheer terror as the ghost wearing Nikes is about to smash him to pieces?

Some of the stickers stuck in my childhood stickers book and my wrappers that I saved. In answer to your question, my favorite is not the Boris Karloff Frankenstein's monster from Son of Frankenstein, it's the Glenn Strange Frankenstein's monster sticker from Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein.

I think I watched the wrong thing. Paul Williams wasn't a faustian character he was a headliner for a gig in Transylvania at Castle Dracula and possibly a vampire in what I watched.

Unfortunately, it's not a horror movie but a crime thriller based on a radio serial. I present to you an odd coincidence. When I went to go start the podcast I stumbled across this film with a familiar name.

It was translucent plastic that lit up when placed on the surgery table. Unfortunately, while a glowing toy was cool, the battery didn't last long, and the clear head was lame without it. The sculpt was decent and could be painted.

We started out making homemade Jack-o-lantern pizzas every year. Then it was too much work and we were missing out on spooky events around town. So we started getting take and bake Jack-o-lantern pizzas. Now we are just plain lazy and order ready Jack-o-lantern pizzas now so we have more time.

This guy's dad painted that version! He quoted my post.

My dad painted the cover, board, and all of the cards, including the suspects, all of which were portraits of friends and family!

(Madame Rose - first on the left side of the cover - was my mom.)

Thinking about incredible artist Drew Struzan. Thank you, sir, for defining cinema, creating anticipation, and capturing our imagination.

Count Chocula prefers his chocolaty cereal, Count Duckula is a vegetarian, and so is Morgan Freeman on The Electric Company as Vincent the Vegetable Vampire! In the Anne Rice novels, evil people, sinners, and criminals taste better to vampires.

I have. An awesome idea for Trick or Treaters.
