Boom! Studios released Hello Halloween#1 last week but I'm posting the cover for this week's Women Wednesday post.

There is plenty blood, monsters and some nudity.  Here is the official summary:

Countdown to Halloween 2025 Day 28: Enid Howlin' Confetti Cake Cereal

Kellogg's added a new cereal based on the Wednesday tv series this year. The Enid Howlin' Confetti Cake cereal is actually pretty good. The front of the box features a great picture of Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair, who is a werewolf. The back of the box has facts and find puzzles. The side of the box has more fun facts.

Countdown to Halloween 2025 Day 27: Monster Cereals 2025

This year's Monster Cereals celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Jim Henson's Company by having the trio looking like Muppets. Our local Walmart's actually had some family size boxes stocked in early September then received a whole pallet of them in early October. I didn't grab any of the early ones because it was just too soon for me. I did grab all three Monster Cereals, but I have only finished Count Chocula and Franken Berry. I'm about halfway through Boo Berry. The back of the boxes features various Muppet monsters and can be connected together to make one large piece.

Countdown to Halloween 2025 Day 26: Battle Ground by Jim Butcher

I'm cheating a little with this Countdown to Halloween post for Battle Ground by Jim Butcher is more fantasy than horror, but it has vampires in it. I picked the book up last month for three dollars at the local Dollar General. It's the seventeenth book in the Dresden Files series. While this will be my first Dresden book, I did watch the 2007 tv series on the Sci Fi Channel, which is now Syfy. Harry Dresden is a wizard and private investigator for those that don't know.

Countdown to Halloween 2025: Day 25:

If you are a fan of WWE NXT like me, then you know that tonight is Halloween Havoc on Peacock and Netflix. I'm a little disappointed that it won't be on the CW this year. The only two wrestling matches that I'm interested in are the two women matches. My money is on Zaria beating Blake Morgan unless the latter cheats or somebody interferes. Sol Ruca was originally set to battle Blake Morgan, but she's now crippled with a knee injury. Zaria is taking her place since they are tag team partners. I'm also hoping that Tatum Paxley takes the belt away from Jacy Jayne and I'm sure Dizzi Dame...er, Izzi Dame will help her in some way.

Countdown to Halloween 2025 Day 24: King Spawn #50

Image Comics released King Spawn #1 on Wednesday. There are several variant covers but I'm only going to show the first three in this post. Here is the official summary: Cover A was done by Todd McFarlane, cover B was done by Puppeteer Lee, and cover C was done by Skottie Young.

"Four years ago, Todd McFarlane launched the first large-scale expansion of the Spawn Universe with King Spawn #1. Now we are here to celebrate the success of the expanded Spawn’s Universe with King Spawn #50. An oversized issue with a story that will cross over into all three of the #50’s coming out in the coming months. (King Spawn, Gunslinger Spawn, The Scorched). An ancient force, almost as old as time itself, has returned, and Spawn is in its sights. The story, sent into two chapters per issue, will be penciled by two of the Spawn Universe’s best, Stephen Segovia and Carlo Barberi. This is the one you don’t want to miss."

Boom! Studios released Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Halloween Special #1 this week. The cover has the Black and Red Power Rangers entangled in vines before a giant jack-o-lantern.

Countdown to Halloween 2025 Day 22: Marian Heretic #1

This week's Women Wednesday post features Marian Heretic #1 that Boom! Studios released this week. Here is the summary:

"Experience a bold new series where divine conviction meets dark compromise. Sister Marian is a witch hunter, a Mother Superior and a heretic — guided by a Goddess the Church refuses to acknowledge. When the Holy Father Church brands her order blasphemers, Marian strikes a dark bargain to become their personal enforcer. As she delivers murderous judgment night after night in the city of Vespers, she can feel her soul fracture… but what can she do with the lives of her sisters at stake?"
