I would like to see the end of this animated special, where they learn to peacefully coexist.

Sadly this one doesn't... but at the price I got, he was still worth it. I'm hoping he kicks in on his own. I've had others to do that. Too valuable for me to perform any of those motionette surgeries on.

I am now in possession of a super rare 24" Telco Devil from 1989, and even if you have no idea what that is, I hope you can still appreciate his dapper style.

Ironic, as there's nothing cookie cutter about a toxic green skull that doubles as a maze wherein you must lead a tiny ball from said skull's mouth to its eye socket.

Imagine going your whole life never experiencing the thrill of a Lisa Frank Halloween puzzle from the 1990s.

Halloween! Nightmare King! Ghost! Ghost Pepper! Wednesday! And now the Jack-O-Lantern Whopper. I'm the only person in the world with a complete collection of Burger King's Halloween Whoppers, dating as far back as 2015. Can't believe I'm single.

Every Burger King Halloween Whopper, from 2015 to now. (Why though?)

I still maintain that there were a few eps of that show -- Safe Sex, and the one with the twins -- that easily could've and probably should've been movie plots.

And it's wild to say that when others barely passed muster for TV episode plots.

The greatest thing I own or will ever own is this old retail standee where Dracula casually reveals a coffin full of Doritos and Pepsi.

Smirnoff ad from 1972, featuring a recipe for the Vampire Gimlet. Which is just a Vodka Gimlet with a black olive added. I don't drink, but as an eater of olives and a child of darkness, I still fully endorse this.

Well, it's at least good that based on your notes about Christmas, I'll be able to buy ornaments representing me.
