Countdown to Halloween 2015 Day 31: Elvira Interview from Fangoria #344

Happy Halloween and welcome to the final day of Countdown to Halloween 2015. I saved the Elvira interview from Fangoria #344 for last:

I hope you enjoyed this year's posts as much as I enjoyed posting them..

Countdown to Halloween 2015 Day 30 Bonus: Elvira the Witch is Back Slots

Hit It Rich! Slots released a new Halloween game that can be played on Facebook yesterday called Elvira: The Witch is Back. This is their third Elvira slots game with Elvira Mistress of the Dark and Elvira's Big Chest of Horrors being the first two. Here are some screen shots:

They are having a special coin sale to celebrate the new game:

The loading screen for Elvira: The Witch is Back:

Actual screen shot of the game with cats, bats, giant rat, Elvira's shoes, Elvira's makeup, witch's hat, witch's broom, winged skull and the Mistress of the Dark herself:

I won with Elvira's shoes but not as much if I would have hit the Mistress of the Dark herself:

Countdown to Halloween 2015 Day 30: Fistful of Blood #1

IDW Publishing's Fistful of Blood #1 (October 2015) is the first of four issues. It was originally published in Heavy Metal #192 to #202 before it was collected into a black and white trade paperback in 2002. This new series is in full color.

It was written and drawn by Kevin Eastman and Simon Bisley:

This issue starts with the mysterious Woman With No Name walking into a western town that was used in a tv series and several movies with the most famous one being Fistful of Blood. The town is being fought over by vampires and zombies. She is befriended by an old man who gives her more clothing since she arrived just wearing a bra and panties.

One of the creatures wants to hire here:

She gives them her answer without saying a word:

There is also a Behind the Scenes of Fistful of Blood section in the back featuring sketches and history:

I have never read the original but this remastered version rocks especially if you enjoy some T&A with your horror.

Countdown to Halloween 2015 Day 29 Bonus: Gillian Anderson as Morticia Adams

This photograph from 1997 has Gillian Anderson as Morticia Addams as photographed by Mark Seliger for US magazine:

Don't forget that The X-Files will be returning to FOX on January 24, 2016 as a six-part tv event. I will be watching. Will you?

Countdown to Halloween 2015 Day 29: Elvira Candy Bars from Sweet! Hollywood

A Countdown to Halloween wouldn't be complete without some candy. Sweets! Hollywood has three Elvira candy bars this year. The first one is a dark chocolate bar:

They also have a Elvira milk chocolate bar:

And then there is a Elvira white chocolate bar:

As a bonus, they also have a Elvira collectible sticky jar filled with handmade candy:

Other Halloween-theme candy bars that they sell include Toxictoons, Skelanimals, Famous Monsters, Hellboy and Afterlife with Archie. Note that this is not a paid for post so be sure to check them out if you dare.

Countdown to Halloween 2015 Day 28: Franken Bride Slots

Franken Bride is a new slots game from House of Fun on Facebook. The main focus is the Bride of Frankenstein and is a sequel to Frankenstein Rising.

I love her purple hair with a white streak:

This is the Frankenstein place that appears while the game is loading:

This is the first screen shot of the actual game. Notice that the Franken Bride is colored differently and has white eyes. This is her really evil look. The good doctor himself makes an appearance.

Another screen shot of the actual game with the hunchback and a very nervous looking priest.

Countdown to Halloween 2015 Day 27 Bonus: Elvira at Farmville Harvest Swap

Elvira has teamed up with Zynga this year and a game version of herself will be appearing in Farmville: Harvest Swap. I broke down and started playing it yesterday. I mostly collected witch hats and bats. Be warned that she will disappear at midnight on Halloween night so you better play it while you can. You can download the game or play it on Facebook, which is what I'm doing. Here is the banner for Elvira at Farmville: Harvest Swap:

Here is the list for Elvira's Spooktacular:

I started playing level 15 and lost the first round:

Elvira has a disappointed look when you loose;

I finally won level 15 after three tries and Elvira looks happy:

I love the wink that she gave me when I won level 15 of Farmville: Harvest Swap:

Countdown to Halloween 2015 Day 27: Boo Berry Box

Boo Berry is the final of the three monster cereals released this year with the We're Alive theme. The front of the box shows him with a castle in the background but still no cereal shown:

The left side of the box also includes instructions on how to use the Blippar app:

The back of the box features the portrait game but with Boo Berry:

Supergirl TV Series Reminder

Just a reminder that Supergirl tv series starring Melissa Benoist starts tonight on CBS right after The Big Bang Theory:

Countdown to Halloween 2015 Day 26: Franken Berry Box

Here is this year's Franken Berry box with the We're Alive theme that I picked up at the local Walmart Super Center. The front features the monster with a castle in the background. The cereal itself is strangely missing but check out his fingernails:

Here is the left side of the box which includes instructions on how to use the Bippar app:

Finally, here is the back with the portrait game featuring the monster:

The right side of the Franken Berry box features nutrition and ingredient lists so I'm not including it here.

Countdown to Halloween 2015 Day 25 Bonus: Elvira on Halloween Wars Tonight

Elvira will be a special guest judge on tonight's season finale of Halloween Wars on the Food Network. Here she is with tv host Rossi Morreale:

Countdown to Halloween 2015: Count Chocula Box

This year's theme for the monster cereals from General Mills is We're Alive. You can Blipp them to life if you have the cell phone app. Unfortunately, I don't have a cell phone but I still got the boxes anyway. I'm spotlighting the Count Chocula box first since that is what I ate first at the beginning of the month. I picked it up from the local Walmart Super Center. The front has the Count and his castle featured but the cereal itself is missing:

The left side of the box features some facts about the cereal and how to bring the monsters alive using the Blippar app:

The back features a mini game where you have to put the different portraits of Count Chocula in their appropriate timeline. The Count appears in a group shot with the Franken Berry and Boo Berry. I think you can use Blippar to play more games:

Unfortunately, I don't have a Target nearby so I couldn't get the box with the build a castle back.

The right side of the box has nutrition facts and ingredients so I'm not including a scan of that since it's pretty boring.

To be honest, I would rather have a toy inside instead of the We're Alive feature.

Countdown to Halloween 2015 Day 24: Cap'n Crunch's Halloween Crunch

This year the good Cap'n appears as a zombie on the front of this year's Cap'n Crunch's Halloween Crunch box (the cereal doesn't seem to turn the milk as green as it did last year):

Here's the left side of the box:

There is a pumpkin template on the back of the box:

The right side of the box is the usual list of nutrition facts and ingredients so I'm not including it here.
