I actually found a case of the Haunted Apple Fanta Featuring Beetlejuice last month at the local Dollar General. I really just wanted a single can or bottle to try it to if I liked it. The Haunted Apple flavor wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I spent three weeks trying to finish that case. The box has the same picture of Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice on each side but in different sizes. They really need to mix up the pictures a little on the boxes. I saved one can from the twelve and I accidently stepped on it before I got a chance to take a picture of it. I have seen Beetlejuice several times, but I have yet to see Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. I hope you didn't read this post out loud.

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 7: Mtn Dew Voodew 2024
I actually started seeing cans and bottles of Mtn Dew Voodew 2024 at the end of September. I bought a bottle of the regular and a bottle of the zero sugar at the local Walmart's. I didn't buy a case of it this year since none of the local stores have them yet, which is odd. The mystery flavor still tasted more like Laffy Taffy to me but it tastes like that every year. Supposedly, the flavor this is year may be Strawberry Starburst. I could see that since Starbursts always tasted like Laffy Taffy to me.

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 6: Dr. Squatch's Fearsome Fall 3-Pack
It's Squatchoween Collection time with the Dr. Squatch's Fearsome Fall 3-Pack that includes Drunk'n Pumpkin (scarecrow with pumpkin head), Headless Rinse (headless horseman) and Count Sudsala (vampire). I would love to see these stocked all year long at the local Walmart's but I'm pretty sure they are only available online for the Halloween season. You can also purchase them individually if you don't want the bundle. A Drunk'n Pumpkin deodorant is also available.

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 5: Shadowman: Soul Eaters #1
Shadowman: Soul Eaters #1 (October 2024) published by Valiant and Alien Books is a first for me. I have read a handful of the comics produced by the original Valiant but I have never read an issue of Shadowman before. I always thought he looked a little like a cross between the Black Terror and the Phantom. This cover shows him with a couple of skulls and this issue is a Resurgence of the Valiant Universe tie-in. Jack Boniface aka Shadowman is joined by his mentor and partner, Alyssa Myles, along with occult expert, Doctor Mirage, and the voodoo priestess, Punk Mambo. Be warned that there is some female nudity even though there is no warning on the cover. There is a flashback scene where Jack recounts how he was the Magpie before becoming the Shadowman. There's another Magpie running around now in New Orleans along with Golems that are part magic and part machine. Shadowman: Soul Eaters #1 is a pretty good start and I'm looking to reading next month's issue.

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 2: Wednesday Cookies & Creme Cereal Box
It's Wednesday again so it's time for a Women Wednesday post and this Wednesday Cookies & Creme Cereal box seems appropriate for the Halloween season. Of course, the front features Jenna Ortega as Wednesday from the Netflix TV series. The back features her, Thing and her two friends. The side panel that is not full of ingrediants and nutrition facts features trivia about Wednesday and the show. Unfortunately, the cereal itself tastes like burnt Cocoa Puffs and I couldn't taste any creme. The local Wal-Mart's only had the family size. I will not be getting another box of this.

Halloween Countdown 2024 Day 1: Mike & Ike Sour Spooky Treats
Today we kick off this year's Countdown to Halloween with Mike & Ike Sour Spooky Treats. The front of the box shows three angry-looking Jack-O'-Lanterns with one of them wearing a witch's hat. The candy comes in three flavors: Sour Ghoulish Grape, Sour Orange Scream and Sour Wicked Watermelon. I was hestitant to try these because I'm not a big watermelon fan. I guess Sour Pumpkinheads probably wouldn't taste very good either. For me, the grape and orange candies were not bad tasting but the watermelon ones tasted like watermelon that had been sitting out for a week or two. If I ever get another box of these, then I'm picking the Sour Wicked Watermelons out and handing them out as tricks for the little beggers.

Hot Wheels 2024 Black and Blue Batman & Robin Batmobiles
I was lucky to find these Hot Wheels 2024 Black and Blue Batman & Robin Batmobiles last Tuesday. Both are based on the Batmobile found in the Batman & Robin movie starring George Clooney the Dark Knight and Chris O'Donnell as the Boy Wonder. Both versions are #2 of the Batman subset and #54 of the main set.

Hot Wheels 2024 Metalflake Black Batman: Arkham Knight Batmobile
This Hot Wheels 2024 Metalflake Black Batman: Arkham Knight Batmobile is another one that I picked up last Tuesday. The metalflakes are hard to see unless you have the light hitting it just right. The pinstripes are yellow and the wheels are solid black. It's #4 of the Batman subset and #149 of the main set. I have the burgundy and tan Batman: Arkham Knight Batmobiles so this is a nice addition.

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Warning
Yes, I will be partaking in the annual Countdown to Halloween event this year. I have a few treats and maybe a trick or two. I choose the witch version of the Cryptkeeper 2024 badge.
Hot Wheels 2024 Batman: The Animated Series Yellow and Black Batmobile
I found four Hot Wheels Batmobiles last Tuesday at the local Dillons store. Among this was this Hot Wheels 2024 Batman: The Animated Series Yellow and Black Batmobile. It's #5 of the Batman subset and #177 of the main set. It's basic black with yellow trim on the body and wheels (the trim on the car looks more orange to me). The card shows colored lights but the actual car is all black. The card is a little bent up especially on the upper right corner since it was in a bin with a bunch of other Hot Wheels. This is only the fourth Hot Wheels Batmobile from Batman: The Animated Series that I have so it's a nice addition to my collection.

Women Wednesday: DC vs. Vampires: World War V #2 Wonder Woman Cover
I thought about waiting to post this cover of DC vs. Vampires: World War V #2 next month. However, this issue just came out today and I needed something to post for this week's Women Wednesday. Besides, who could resist a vampire Wonder Woman holding a sword to Alfred Pennyworth.

Hot Wheels Gray Batman Forever Batmobile 2023 Edition
I finally found the Hot Wheels Gray Batman Forever Batmobile 2023 Edition at the local Dillons. It was hiding in the big bin by the health and beauty section. This is a nice find because it has been a dry spell around here lately. Thankfully, I already found the regular black edition here.

Smell Like Wolverine with Adamantium Scrub from Dr. Squatch
Yes, you too can now smell like Wolverine with Adamantium Scrub from Dr. Squatch. The gritty soap is supposed to smell like berserker rage. This should have been available during this summer's comic conventions so everybody would be smelling like cypress, juniper and moss. Click on the link below for more information, bub.

Daredevil #26 Cover (March 1967)
I'm not sure why Daredevil #26 (March 1978) was picked as the cover for September in my Marvel 2024 16-month calendar. If you think that Stilt-Man is an odd name, then you might get a chuckle out of Leap-Frog, who is on trial in this issue.
