Countdown to Halloween 2017 Day 29: Dark Shadows Werewolf Trading Card

This Alex Stevens as the Werewolf is from the 1993 Dark Shadows set:

TMC had the two Dark Shadows movies yesterday afternoon. I missed the House of Dark Shadows with vampire Barnabas but watched the Night of Dark Shadows with the ghost Angelique. I've seen both of them countless times and still have the on VHS (note to self: get them on DVD one of these days). A third Dark Shadows movie was planned but never made and I believed it would have had a werewolf in it. I have never seen an episode of the series with the werewolf in it. Of course, I've seen the reboot movie with Johnny Depp and thought it was okay but not great. I have watched a few episodes from the Dark Shadows binge on the Decades channel. Most of them, I have seen a few times from when the series was on SyFy channel.

To be honest, I'm a little sick of seeing both of these super villains popping up anymore and I hate the skin mask version of the Joker.

Countdown to Halloween 2017 Day 14: Ghost Rider vs Demon Trading Card

This Ghost Rider vs Demon trading card is #59 from the DC vs Marvel/Marvel vs DC set:

I like both characters so it would be tough to choose sides for this battle of demons.

He's one of my favorite characters from DC Comics especially when he teams up with Batman since he is basically a ghost.

Countdown to Halloween 2017 Day 6: Vampire Dairies Season 2 Promo Card

Here is the front and back of The Vampire Dairies Season 2 promo card:

To be honest, I'm not a fan of the show. I watched the first few episodes and just couldn't get into it. I don't have any other trading cards from this set or any other based on the show.
