I can't believe that we are already at the halfway mark for this year's Countdown to Halloween. Hope you are enjoying the posts so far. Here's a picture of Xomayame cosplaying as Velma Dinkley. I wonder what the rest of the Scooby Doo gang is doing?

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 15: Halloween Party Cover
Scotch McTiernan's Halloween Party is a one-shot special from Image Comics that was released earlier this week. Killer clowns, vampires, demons, aliens and other creatures gather at the annual Monster Mirthapalooza in Ridgeway City, New Jersey. Scotch McTiernan, monster hunter, shows up to the horror of the monsters. Past stories are told including a spoof on E.T. the Extra Terrestrial. Things then take a turn for the worse for all the party goers. If you want some humor with your monsters, then I highly recommend picking up a copy.

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 14: Chilling Adventures of Salem One-Shot
Chilling Adventures of Salem #1 is a one-shot special from Archie Horror. There are two covers with Cover A by Dan Schoening and Matt Herms while Cover B by Francesco Francavilla. The story is appropriate for Halloween and I think Salem should get his own series since I love talking black cats.

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 9: Count Chocula Mini Treats
The only Monster Cereal related item that the local Walmart's has stocked so far has been the Count Chocula Mini Treats. They had them when I went yesterday so I naturally picked up a box. I had to try them as soon as I got home. They are pretty tasty but they are not kidding when they say that they are mini. There are four different colored wrappers. The brown has Count Chocula while the purple has a haunted house. The green has two large bats and a small bat while the orange has one large bat and two small bats. I cheated a bit since the picture below is from Walmart's website.

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 7: Headless Horseman at Pirate Clan
I have been playing Pirate Clan on and off for the past couple of years on Facebook. The online game brought back the Headless Horseman for the month of October. He's pretty tough to beat but I'm hoping to battle him every day in hopes of doing so this year.

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 6: Black Adam - The Justice Society Files: Dr. Fate #1
Black Adam - The Justice Society Files: Dr. Fate #1 came out this week from DC Comics. This issue is a prelude to the new movie coming out. Cover A features Dr. Fate in his movie costume, which is super cool looking, while Cover B features Pierce Brosnan out of costume as Kent Nelson. The story deals with a group of kids summoning up a demon, who takes possession of a girl (she just happens to be named Carrie). Dr. Fate arrives to battle the demon and set things right.
The "Lost & Found" back up feature with Adrianna Tomaz aka Isis (played by Sarah Shahi) continues in this issue.

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 5: DC vs Vampires #9 Cover
It's Women Wednesday Halloween-style today with Jayna and Supergirl on the cover of DC vs Vampires #9. Those creatures that they are fighting are Atlantean vampires, which means that Aquaman and Mera are not far behind. The issue was released last week so you might still find it available at your local comic newsstand.

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 4: Task Force Z #12 Cover
You might wonder what does the cover of Task Force Z #12 have to do with Halloween? It looks like a bunch of supervillains standing around the grave of Jason Todd aka Red Hood. Well, Man-Bat is the only monster in the truest sense while Bane, Mr. Bloom and Two-Face are monsters that look like men. Also, the Z stands for zombies, which some of these supervillains are.

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 3: Deadman Tells The Spooky Tales
Deadman Tells The Spooky Tales was released last week from DC Comics as part of their DC Kids imprint. Bostan Brand aka Deadman hosts an anthology of thirteen horror stories aimed at kids. If you enjoy Are You Afraid of the Dark? and Goosebumps then you will greatly enjoy this trade paperback. I'm a little surprised that the ghost didn't have a story all to himself but he does get several pages to himself at the beginning and the end of each story. My favorite story features Man-Bat and I love the full page featuring Deaman that I call "The Grave."

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 1: DC Horror Presents: Sgt Rock vs the Army of the Dead #1 Cover A
To kick off the first day of this year's Countdown to Halloween, it seems appropriate to showcase DC Horror Presents: Sgt Rock vs the Army of the Dead #1 cover A. The issue was released earlier this week from DC Comics. Gary Frank and Brad Anderson did the cover art of cover A and there are five variant covers (none of which I have seen yet). Actor and author Bruce Campbell wrote the six issue mini-series while Eduardo Risso did the interior artwork and Kristian Risso did the interior colors. There will be plenty of Nazi zombies for Easy Company to fight in 1941 and I can't wait for the second issue.
