Countdown To Halloween 2012 Day 24: Elvira Interview At Dread Central

I have not posted much about Elvira this year because I really do not have anything new to share. However, you should check out Exclusive: 10 Questions with Elvira at Dread Central.

Countdown To Halloween 2012 Day 23

Okay, this is a pretty scary candy wrapper when you consider that Yellow Peanut M&M is dressed as a scarecrow. I had to refill my M&M dispenser this weekend so I picked up a 12.60 oz bag of Harvest Blend Peanut M&M's at the local grocery store. I usually switch between regular, peanut and almonds but picked this one up this time because I have a fondness for the crazy Yellow guy and scarecrows.

Countdown To Halloween 2012 Day 22: Hot Wheels Halloween Batmobile

I have read countless posts from other blogs how they found their Hot Wheels Halloween Batmobile at Target, K-Mart or had a friend find them so my hopes were not high of finding one since the only local discount stores are Alco's and Wal-Mart's Super Center (more like super disaster). However, I was grocery shopping at Dillons yesterday instead of at the local Wal-Mart's and spied a barely stocked display of Hot Wheels Halloween cars. They only had a few Fangula and a few 1966 TV Series Batmobiles. They were priced at $1.99 each, which is why I only got one Hot Wheels Halloween Batmobile (hey, I shopping for food not toys). The color scheme is dark purple with orange trim and the open top is orange.

My pictures are not the greatest but I love the packaging with the scene set at an old time gas station surrounded by evil-looking pumpkins and a skeleton standing at the doorway.

Here is the back of the Hot Wheels Halloween Batmobile that I scanned:

Flipping through The Flash #231 (January-February 1974), I found this two page ad for the original Strange Change Vampire, Mummy and Time Machine model kits from MPC:

The Strange Change Vampire and Strange Change Mummy have been reissued from Round 2 Models last year. I always wanted them as a kid and I still want them now as an adult.

Countdown To Halloween 2012 Day 15: The Phantom Stranger #1

The Phantom Stranger #1 from DC Comics has two covers:

The Stranger meets a young woman named Rachel, daughter of the demon Trigon. This is page nine:

And this is page ten:

Clearly, this is the woman previously known as Raven in the Old DCU but will she become her in the New DCU? I just hope this is not a throw away story and that the issue will be dealt with in the future of either this series or elsewhere.

Countdown To Halloween 2012 Day 12: Dark Shadows #8

Dynamite's Dark Shadows #8 has creepy cover by Francesco Francavilla:

Nacho Tenorio did the interior illustrations while Carlos Lopez did the coloring. My favorite scene is page twelve when Quentin Collins, a werewolf, wakes up Barnabas Collins, a vampire, in the daytime:
