Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 31: DCeased #6 Cover

Wow, what a month and Halloween is now upon us. DCeased #6 is out now too and is the final issue of the mini series from DC Comics. The cover features Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn and a zombified Catwoman. This issue deals with a zombified Superman and I highly recommend you getting your hands on a copy.

This post wraps up this year's Countdown to Halloween. I hope you enjoyed the posts and don't forget to bookmark Moongem Comics for you never know what I might post next.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 30: Captain Kronos B Covers Featuring Caroline Munro

Technically, today is Women Wednesday so I'm just posting B covers of Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter from Titan Comics since they feature Caroline Munro. The four issue mini series from 2017 is a sequel to the 1974 Hammer movie with the same name in which she played the gypsy dancer, Carla. She has a much bigger part in this series as she assist Kronos along with Professor Grost. I highly recommend this mini series to all horror fans especially those that like vampires.

There may not be anything really horrible about these Hammer Glamour covers but even I need a break from the blood and guts every once in a while.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 28: Omaha the Cat Dancer #8

The cover of Omaha the Cat Dancer #8 (October 1987) from Kitchen Sink Press finds Chuck and Omaha carving pumpkins on their front porch.

I can't believe that I haven't posted this before since this underground comix series is one of my favorites.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 27: Robyn Hood Cosplaying as Elvira

This artwork featuring Robyn Hood cosplaying as Elvira is cover C for Grimm Fairy Tales 2019 Halloween Pinup Special from Zenescope Entertainment. There are four different covers in all and you can view them here.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 26: The Addams Family and Monster Cereals

This year's monster cereals teams up with characters from The Addams Family animated movie that came out on October 5, 2019 (no, I haven't seen it yet since I can't bring my monster cereal boxes into the local theater). I found the family size boxes at the local Walmart Super Center on October 5th. Instead of a free toy included inside, they offer ten free pumpkin carving stencils to download at Monster Carving.

Here's the front of the Boo Berry box:

Here's the front of the Count Chocula's box:

Here's the front of the Franken Berry's box:

The back of each monster cereal box has the same Tricks & Treats puzzle. The text says "How frightfully fun! The Addams Family is trick-or-treating at the Monster's castle. But that's not the only trick you'll find in this scene. Can you find all 8 tricky mistakes? After you find them, look on the side of the box and treat yourself to free downloadable pumpkin carving stencils."

Another year of monster cereals that teases with my childhood memories. This time they offer free pumpkin carving stencils, which I will never use, instead of cheap toys. Glow in the dark figures of Boo Berry, Count Chocula, Boo Berry and the Addams Family would have been so much better and fun.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 25: Hiland Halloween Egg Nog

There used to be a time where you could only find Egg Nog of any kind between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve. Christmas was the holiday mostly associated with this thick concoction until several years ago when it started coming out before Halloween. I finally broke down this year and picked up a quart of Hiland Halloween Egg Nog.

I found nothing really special about the color and taste. I was hoping for at least a pumpkin orange color. The taste, while good, was still just plain old regular Egg Nog. I guess it was hard to duplicate the tastes of ghosts and bats like those on the container. Unfortunately, I didn't find any Peanut Butter Chocolate Reduced Fat Milk or Spooktacular Egg Nog from Prairie Farms at any of the local grocery stores.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 20: Elvira Mistress of the Dark Spring Special

The cover of Elvira, Mistress of the Dark Spring Special features her holding her dagger while sitting on a pile of sinister looking jack o' lanterns. This issue was put out earlier this year from Dynamite Entertainment. Elvira is featured in two stories. The first is titled "Drive-in of the Dead" that features her meeting George Rottmero, who has an interesting secret. The second story is titled "The Satan 500" that features her racing the Devil while a clown serves as her navigator.

There is a total of five covers and this is cover A, which features a busty grim reaper sitting on a scarecrow's arm. The other covers include a giant scorpion, a busty Red Riding Hood, a redheaded succubus and a gothic cheerleader. The stories and art are both great. You might still find it on the shelf of your local comic book shop.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 17: Svengoolie Meets DC Universe

I can't believe that I have not posted about Svengoolie before. The horror host will be featured in Svengoolie Meets the DC Universe #1 to celebrate his 40th anniversary. This will actually be a four-part series of "chapters" featured as two page inserts inside selected titles starting October 16 (yes, I should have posted this Tuesday or yesterday).

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 15: Elvira In Hallway

Let's heat things up a little bit with this picture of Elvira in a narrow hallway showing her sexy leg:

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 14: Gotham City Monsters #1 and #2

Gotham City Monsters is a six issue mini-series from DC Comics that started last month. The cover of #1 features Killer Croc, Frankenstein, Andrew Bennett, Orca and Lady Clay. The story takes place in MonsterTown, a section of Gotham City where monsters dwell. Andrew Bennett battles mad vampire monks before searching for their new king. Killer Croc is bummed because he can't find a "normal" job due to his looks after being released from the Suicide Squad. His friend, Tusk, offers him some opera tickets at the Magus Theatre, which he refuses. Frankenstein basically tracks down a possessed minotaur in a bar before setting him on fire. Grace Balin aka Orca attacks a ship in the harbor with a shipment for Bane, who now rules Gotham City, before retreating to her cave. Sandra Fuller aka Lady Clay flies to her apartment before heading to the Magus theatre. She enters disguised as man in a suit.

In the MonsterTown Station, Frankenstein learns from a talking mandrill that his master is giving an opera and would love for him to attend. A group of mandrills move a giant cauldron filled with bubbling green goop inside the Magus Theatre. Andrew Bennett joins a watchful Frankenstein on the roof of the theatre. They share information about Melmoth, the Monarch of Mars. Frankenstein literally cuts Bennett in half with a giant sword because he had bitten one of the vampire monks tainted with Melmoth's blood.

Inside the Magus Theatre, the mandrills are on stage with the cauldron while music is playing. A magician named the Red Phantom is being held captive in one full-length mirror while a demonic Melmoth is in another. The green goop goes to the enthralled audience including Tusk and Lady Clay like stardust before they start foaming at the mouth. I won't spoil the ending but it's a good one so pick up Gotham City Monsters #1.

The cover of Gotham City Monsters #2 features a demonic Melmoth stepping out of the bat-signal while holding Andrew Bennett. At his feet are the defeated bodies of Frankenstein, Lady Clay and Orca. I won't go into much detail about this issue except to say that there is more to the Red Phantom than him being just a vaudeville magician. Also, Frankenstein enlists the aid of Lady Clay, Orca and Killer Croc. Bennett tries to face a human-looking Melmoth on his own.

I really wasn't expecting the first two issues of Gotham City Monsters to be all that but they are and I can't wait to read the rest of the mini-series. I would like to see this title become a monthly or another mini-series in the future. Also, the Red Phantom needs his own series and become a member of Justice League Dark.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 13: Elvira Busting Out at Hit It Rich Slots

Wow, it's been a while since I last posted about an online game at Facebook. Elvira Busting Out at Hit It Rich! Slots has been out for several months but I've been saving it for today. I've been playing it several times a week and I've had some really big wins. My highest big win was around thirty million coins (shame that I can't trade for real cash but then it would probably only be three dollars). Anyway, I captured some various screenshots from Elvira Busting Out at Hit It Rich! Slots for you to enjoy for this year's Countdown to Halloween including this ad that I got in my emal:

You can bet different amounts of coins on Elvira Busting Out at Hit It Rich! Slots. The higher you bet, the high your reward will be:

Elvira's famous dagger is one of the icons along with a hand reaching up from the grave. The spellbook allows the player to collect more coins:

The Mistress of the Dark holding someone's brain after they sold it for more coins to play this online slot machine. I think that skeleton might have sold more than his brain. Elvira's also enjoying some popcorn after gazing in her crystal ball. The icons are animated so you can see her pumpkins bounce:
