I picked up this Ron Weasley miniature figurine along with Harry Potter and Hermione Granger a few weeks ago at the local Dollar Tree. The ginger wizard stands about three inches tall. His looks are more generic so he really doesn't look like his counterparts from the books, movies or upcoming HBO Max tv series.
Note: the back is the same as the one found on the Harry Potter miniature figurine.
I picked up this Hermione Granger miniature figurine a few weeks ago at the local Dollar Tree along with Harry Potter. The witch looks more like the movie version instead of the book version. I have to wonder when the toys based on the upcoming HBO Max tv series will start coming out.
Note: the back is the same as the one for the Harry Potter miniature figurine.
I picked up this Harry Potter miniature figurine a few weeks ago at the local Dollar Tree. He is about three inches tall and was put out by Just Play. I also picked up one for my sister who is a big fan of the books, movies and the upcoming HBO Max tv series.
This has not been a good week for Star Trek fans for Patrick Stewart Dead, 'Star Trek' and 'X-Men' Superhero, Dies at 86. He was Captain Jean-Luc Picard starting with Star Trek: The Next Generation tv series and Professor X in the X-Men movies based on the Marvel comics. The universe has lost a very talented and respected human being.
I asked Grok what an action figure of Marilyn Monroe as the Bride of Frankenstein would look like. I wasn't expecting much really but she came out okay enough to show her for this week's Women Wednesday post. I wouldn't immediately recognize her as the actress. She does have the beauty mark but is a bit on the slim side. I was delighted that she was shown still in the package. I would get her just to have her along with the John Wayne as Frankenstein's Monster action figure.
Here's the Samhain aka Sam mini figure from the Tiny Nightmares Series 1 mystery bag. He's the murderous kid dressed as a scarecrow in the Trick 'r Treat movie. Sorry about the dark pictures but my digiital camera is acting up again.
Sad news for Star Trek star Walter Koenig dead at 90. He passed away on Sunday, October 25, 2026. I will always remember him as the smiling Ensign Pavel Chekov. He was also the psi-cop, Alfred Bester, on another science fiction tv series, Babylon 5.
Clayface hit theaters on October 23, 2026 and is loosely based on the Batman villain from DC Comics. The R-rated horror movie stars Tom Rhys Harries as Matt Hagen, who becomes a monster made of clay. Rumor has it that he will eventually meet the Dark Knight in a future movie.
The Happy Meal Boo Buckets dropped at McDonald's on October 20, 2026. This year's theme is Disney Villains and includes Jafar from Aladdin, Scar from The Lion King, Ursula from The Little Mermaid, Maleficent from Cinderella and Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmations My sister and I got the Maleficent Boo Bucket on Wednesday evening. I love the wraparound graphics but I think the color should have been purple insstead of green (hey I had to find a flaw somewhere).
The flimsy paper lid with one side having a variety of stickers including Cinderella and three fairy godmothers while the other side has a hide and seek game. Unfortunately, my lid got a little damage (another flaw).
Fanta celebrated the 30th anniversary of the original Scream movie this Halloween season by releasing Ghost Face Punch as part of their Haunted Universe. I picked up a couple of bottles at the local Dollar General. I enjoyed the mixed berry flavor but not enough to buy a case of the cans. I didn't pick up any of the other flavors in the Fanta's Haunted Universe series because the only one I could find was cases of the Orange Fanta with the jack-o-lantern scarecrow cans.
Sunny D came out with Spooky D Mystery Flavor this year. It was available in big jugs and mini bottles. I got a case of the mini bottles at the local Walmart's because they didn't stock the big jugs. To me, the mystery flavor tastes like Starbursts, which was okay the first few bottles. I like the cute ghost and haunted house on the label.
I picked up four mystery bags of Tiny Nightmares at the local Dollar Tree a few weeks ago. I gave two to my sister and kept two. I won't show or tell you what figures I got yet but I will show the insert and wrapper. The mystery figures that are available are shown to be Michael Myers from Halloween II, Annabelle, Pennywise from the It movie, Regan from The Exorcist, Stripe from Gremlins, Sam from Trick 'r Treat, Chucky from Child's Play 2 and Tiffany from Bride of Chucky. Seems like the theme of Series 1 was dolls since there three of them. I'm hoping to find Tiny Nightmares Series 2 and 3 at the local Dollar Tree for next year but I'm not holding my breath.
Note: This post was not saved the first time I wrote it. A draft was saved missing the last three scans.
Here is the Michael Myers mini figure that I found in a Tiny Nightmares Series 1 mystery bag. He's the Halloween II movie edition.
My sister found two black 3XL Scream t-shirts at the local Walmart's for three dollars each a few weeks ago. She gave me one and kept one for herself. It features Ghostface with the saying "What's your favorite scary movie?"
I finally watched last year's R.L. Stine's Pumpkinhead on Tubi this Wednesday and I'm glad that I did. Cassandra Peterson, better known as Elvira, will be appearing in Tubi original movie, R.L. Stine's Pumpkinhead 2 on Friday, October 9, 2026. She will be playing a witch named Cassandra. Guess what I'll be watching tonight.
Note: Do not confuse the R.L. Stine's Pumpkinhead Tubi original movies with the 1988's Pumpkinhead movie starring Lance Henriksen and the 1993's Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings movie starring Andrew Robinson. The third and fourth movies in that series (2006's Pumpkinhead 3: Ashes to Ashes and 2007's Pumkinhead: Blood Feud) are tv movies and worth watching too.
Let's start this year's Countdown to Halloween with a t-shirt post. I found two Days of Chucky 2026 t-shirts at the local Walmart's a few weeks ago. They were black, size 3XL (the only size they had) and only five dollars each. I got both and gave one to my sister, who is a big fan of Chucky. She loves the original movies and the tv series (she wasn't a huge fan of the Child's Play remake movie).
I asked my friend, Grok, what would Elvis Presley look like as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The result was so interesting that I asked to see it as a movie poster too:
Here are three replicants from Blade Runner that Grok came up with:
I was sick yesterday and slept most of the day away. I'm posting a belated birthday to Cassandra Peterson, better known as Elvira, who turned 75 yesterday.
