Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 11: Dia De Muertos Pop-Tarts

I actually finished off a box of the Dia De Muertos Pop-Tarts the first week of October. I should of saved them for November 1st, which is the traditional Day of the Dead, but I didn't think they were going to be so tasty. They are frosted chocolatey churro flavored Pop-Tarts with nine different designs inked on the frosting. The flavor is not real strong and taste more like cinnamon brown sugar. I didn't get all nine designs in one box of sixteen and I might pick up another box if they are still on the shelves of the local Walmart's. The most common design seems to be the flowery skull and the Dia De Muertos banner. I would have liked the back of the box to show all nine designs instead of just four.

I recently got some really bad news so reading that Elvira hit one million followers on Instagram was really uplifting.

Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 8: Elvira Chia Pet

Yes, the Elvira Chia Pet is real according to their official website and will be available this fall/winter. I have read on Facebook that it won't be released until November so it would make a great gift for your Halloween friends or you can put it on your Christmas list this year. It would be cool if they could make black sprouts instead of green.

Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 7: Are You Afraid of Darkseid?

Are You Afraid of Darkseid? #1 is out now from DC Comics just in time for Halloween. The cover features Darkseid behind Robin as he is telling scary stories to the rest of the Teen Titans (Kid Flash, Crush, Aqualad and Red Arrow but Roundhouse is now where to be seen). This is their annual one-shot Halloween special but die-hard horror fans will be a bit disappointed as the stories found within are mostly for fun. The issue starts with "Are You Afraid of Darkseid?" as the Teen Titans camping and telling scary stories around the campfire. Red Arrow is first up with "Bloody Mary" that puts a New Gods spin on the urban legend that features Harley Quinn and Darkseid. Robin is up next with "Backseat Driver" that features Batman chasing Mad Hatter, who is riding a bicycle. Crush's scary story is "Escape the Dark Fortress" featuring John Stewart as Green Lantern with brief appearances by Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner and Katma Tui. Kid Flash takes his turn with "The Endless Staircase" featuring the Phantom Stranger. Aqualad's scary story is titled "The Ogopogo", which features him and Aquaman. Roundhouse doesn't want to tell a scary story so Red Arrow tells her second story, which is "Black Eyed Kids" featuring Vixen and Wonder Woman. Roundhouse changes his mind and decides to tell "The Celler" that finds Superman and Lois Lane looking for missing twins in Kansas (he gets his life force drained by a horrorifying female creature). The final page with the Teen Titans around the campfire is perhaps the scariest part of the whole issue.

Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 6: Marvel Zombies Venom Mystery Minis Funko Pop

Venom was the other Marvel Zombies Mystery Minis Funko Pop that I picked up. He stands about 2 3/4" and is about 3" wide. His long tongue hits his left knee and interferes with his bobble head action. I'm not a huge Venom fan but I will keep the horror freak up beyond Halloween also.

Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 5: Marvel Zombies Black Panther Mystery Minis Funko Pop

Out of the three Marvel Zombies Mystery Minis Funko Pop boxes that I picked up, two of them were Black Panthers. He stands about 2 1/2" tall and is about 2 1/4" wide. At first, I thought the green stuff was slime but it's actually zombie blood. I actually like the little bobble head horror and will probably keep him up way beyond Halloween.

Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 4: Marvel Zombies Mystery Minis Funko Pop Box

I picked up three boxes of Marvel Zombies Mystery Minis Funko Pops on a road trip a few months ago. I found them at a Walmart Super Center store and they only had a few left. These bobble heads were originally released in 2020 and I was surprised that I found them. The front of the box shows the Marvel Zombies version of Wolverine, the Hulk and Deadpool while the right side shows Phoenix, Wolverine and Gambit. The back of the box features all the figures in the set, which includes Wolverine (two versions), Venom (two versions), Deadpool, Magneto, Phoenix, the Hulk (two versions), Gambit (two versions) and Black Panther. The left side of the box features Phoenix, Wolverine and Gambit. What the box doesn't show is that there are black and white versions of Magneto and Deadpool plus glow in the dark versions of Gambit and Wolverine. Also not shown are the exclusive Marvel Zombies version of Daredevil and She-Hulk, which brings the set count to eighteen.

Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 1: Mtn Dew VooDew 2021

Today begins the annual Countdown to Halloween at Moongem Comics. I will be trying to post something spooky every day for the entire month of October.

Mountain Dew actually brought back their Mtn Dew VooDew back at the end of August this year with a new mystery flavor. I've been drinking a case of it for the past month and I think it tastes like blue raspberry. I really like the artwork on the box especially the haunted house.

Women Wednesday: Chyna WWE SuperCard Cards

I've been playing a lot of WWE SuperCard on Facebook for the last month. It's basically a wrestling card game for mobile users but I've been playing it on my desktop computer. My two favorite cards include the Chyna Wrestlemania 37 card and the Chyna Vanguard card. The Vanguard card is the only one that I actually have while I could "buy" the Wrestlemania 37 card. There are other cards featuring Chyna but I usually see them in decks of my opponents.

Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #9: Group Shot

This Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #9 doesn't officially have a name so I call it group shot. The group consists of the Hulk, Black Widow, Falcon, Thor, Iron Man, Captain America and Spider-Man. Now I really wished I watched more episodes of this cartoon when it was on the Disney Channel. This is the last sticker of this series that I got out a vending machine but I hope to get some more soon providing that they are still available.
