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.
