In Alice Cooper #2, the archangel Gabriel gives him a guitar to fight the creatures of the dark realm. Lucifer decides to invade a bar and play the blues. I'm really liking this series so far.

DC Super Friends Notebooks
My sister actually picked up three DC Super Friends Notebooks at the local Dillons a few weeks ago because they were on sale. The one featuring Batman and his rogue gallery was sixteen cents while the other two were twelve cents each. Now that is what I call one hell of a price reduction.

Hot Wheels 2023 Royal Purple Batmobile
I found this Hot Wheels 2023 Royal Purple Batmobile at the local Dillons the first week of October. It's based on the Batman: The Animated Series cartoon. It's #169 of the main series and #5 of the Batman subset. I think this is either the first or second time that I actually completed a Batman subset. There's been so many over the years that it's starting to keep track plus I'm running out of room on my wall to hang them all. There are two other colors: black and gold. I have two of the royal purple Batmobiles since my sister picked up one for me too.

Hot Wheels 2023 Bronze Batmobile
I picked up this Hot Wheels 2023 Bronze Batmobile along with the White Batmobile that I posted yesterday back in September. This is based on the Batmobile from the cartoon series, Batman: The Brave and the Bold. It is an alternate paint job of #137 in the main series and #4 in the Batman subset. I also have the Dark Maroon Batmobile version.

Hot Wheels 2023 Flash White Batmobile
I actually picked up this Hot Wheels 2023 Flash White Batmobile back in mid-September at the local Walmart's. It is #103 in the main set and #3 in the Batman subset. While the Batmobile appears in the Flash movie, it's not white. It's pretty cool and I'm thinking of getting another one to open up for the fun of it.

Women Wednesday: Hallows' Eve: The Big Night #1
It's Halloween Hangover time. We only had nineteen little tricksters last night due mostly to the chilly weather. I still have at least one more treat that I just had to post today.
Hallows' Eve: The Big Night #1 came out last week from Marvel but it was too late for last week's post.
Check out what happens when she puts on a Captain America mask (cool costume alert):

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 31: Kinder Joy Monsters 2023 Edition
The local Dollar General actually had one case of the new Kinder Joy Monsters stocked in the middle of September and never stocked any more. I only picked up eight since they were almost three dollars each. This year they had four little figures (mummy, skeleton, vampire and werewolf) that you could put cardboard cutouts on plus four wristbands (ghost, jack-o-lantern, skeleton and vampire bat). The figures and wristbands glow in the dark. I didn't get a complete set and I ended up with two vampires and two werewolves. I still need a skeleton figure and a vampire bat bracelet. Below are the monster figures but not the bracelets.
Here is the back of what the inserts look like that features the entire Kinder Joy Monsters collection:
Note: You can view the Kinder Joy Monsters from 2022 here.
This is the fifteenth year anniversary of the Countdown to Halloween at Moongem Comics and I hope you enjoyed it.

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 30: Insidious 4-Movie Collection DVD Cover
I actually picked up the Insidious 4-Movie Collection at the local Walmart's at the beginning of the month. It was in the five dollar bin but the actual price ended up being about twenty dollars. I watched the first one last Friday night, the second one on Saturday afternoon and the last two yesterday. There are two DVDs with each having two movies on them. My favorite characters are Elise the psychic and the two amateur ghost hunters, Specs and Tucker. The trio are also the only characters to appear in all four movies. What I find interesting is that the movies are listed from four to one on the back instead of one to four. Movies three and four are actually prequels to the first Insidious movie. They are all great movies featuring ghosts and demons and I'm glad that I got this set.

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 29: Boo Berry Box
The final Monster Cereal for this year is Boo Berry. Yes, I had to get the family size since that was the only size that the local Walmart's stocked this year. I will be starting in on that after I finish off the Franken Berry cereal, which should be the end of November or the start of December.

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 28: Franken Berry Box
I probably won't start on this year's family size Franken Berry box until next month since I still have half a box of Cap'n Crunch's Halloween Crunch to finish first. However, that is not stopping me from posting this for today:

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 27: Star Trek: Holo-Ween #4 Cover
The cover of Star Trek: Holo-Ween #4 from IDW Publishing features Redjac with his arm around Scotty's neck while Armus has Riker as a Wolfman and Deanna Troi as a mummy queen in his grasp. This is the final issue of the mini-series and it was indeed a real treat to read.

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 26: Cap'n Crunch's Halloween Crunch Box
Cap'n Crunch is back as a vampire on the front of this year's Halloween Crunch. Yes, the ghosts turns the milk a different color but it's more of a brownish green. I picked up a box at the local Walmart's last Saturday since it was finally on the shelf.
The back of the box features Cap'n Crunch and his friends having a Halloween party. There is also a word search puzzle for one to do while they are eating the cereal.
This is the 45th cereal post at Moongem Comics.

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 24: Count Chocula Box
The family size box of Count Chocula didn't last long as I predicted. I finished them off on Monday morning. I actually found a family size box of Halloween Crunch this weekend at the local Walmart's. I'll be taking a break from the Monster Cereals and start in on that.

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 23: Rob Zombie's The Munsters DVD Cover
I picked up Rob Zombie's The Munsters DVD at the local Walmarts for ten bucks a few weeks ago. I finally watched it on Sunday afternoon. I greatly enjoyed and thought the cast was great. The color was vibrant but I felt like I was watching a tv movie of the week. I do hope there is a sequel so we can see Eddie and Marilyn.

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 22: Skeleton Boo Bucket
I ended up getting another Halloween pail meal from McDonald's on Friday evening. I got the Skeleton Boo Bucket this time around. It should be called the Pumpkin Boo Bucket because it's orange and even the handle looks like the top of one. I know they have a Mummy Boo Bucket that is white so they couldn't use that color for the skeleton. However, even the faces look like something you would draw on a pumpkin using black paint.
Even the stickers for the Mix 'n Match Monsters activity looks like eyes, noses, mouths and scars that you would put on pumpkins. However, the head is a skull and that's the only object that has anything to do with a skeleton. There really should have been the shape of a pumpkin instead and the name on the Skeleton Boo Bucket switched to Pumpkin. Maybe they thought that no one would notice.

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 21: Gargoyles Halloween Special #1 Cover Gallery
I remember watching the Gargoyles cartoon series back in the 1990s on the Disney Channel. Dynamite Entertainment released Gargoyles Halloween Special #1 this week (they had a nine issue series in 2022 that I somehow missed). This issue follows Nashville trick and treating in Manhattan of 1997. Of course, his adventure gets him into trouble. This is a fun treat for fans of the old cartoon and highly recommended.
