Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 9: The Devil's Machine

I picked up The Devil's Machine (2019) at the local Dollar Tree a few weeks ago in hopes that it would be a scary Halloween treat. The movie's story centers around a three hundred year old curse and a clockwork doll in Scotland. An antique dealer is hired to study the recently found life-size doll and takes his step-daughter along with him. The first half is a slow burn but things turn really weird in the second half. Not only does ghosts show up but strange dog men do too. Also, the story deals with some taboo subjects including incest, bondage and sadism. The ending was interesting but also a little predictable. I did get my money's worth since it was only $1.25 but I have to give The Devil's Machine a solid C since I felt like I was tricked.


Note: The Devil's Machine was originally titled Automata.

Countdown to Halloween 2015 Day 22: Puffy Halloween Stickers

Here are four puffy Halloween stickers from my old warped sticker book. I took them out and put them on homemade trading cards. I'm not sure about the year but I'm pretty sure they were from the 1980s. I'm also thinking that they were available in vending machines but I could be wrong. I'm not really sure if they are all from the same set or not. I can't seem to find any info on them yet by searching the usual sites.

The first pair consist of a dancing skeleton with a pumpkin head and black cat sitting on a pumpkin:

The second pair is a skull and a very sinister red-faced devil with white horns:
