Countdown to Halloween 2026 Day 30: Elvis Presley as the Wolfman Action Figure

The King of Rock and Roll howls at the full moon as the beast inside him is revealed. I asked Grok to make an action figure based on what if Elvis Presley was the Wolfman. He must have turned during a concert because he's wearing a torn jumpsuit.

Countdown to Halloween 2026 Day 26: Monster Mash #1

Bloodcurler Comics put out Monster Mash #1 as a one-shot in the mid-1960s and is mostly forgotten even among old-time readers. The cover features Frankenstein's monster, Dracula, the Mummy and the Wolfman on their way to a jam session. There is also a blurb stating that Frankenstein will meet the Phantom in the next issue but that was never published as far as we know. Thanks to Grok for digging up this "lost" issue for this week's Monster Monday post.

Women Wednesday: Vampirella: Armageddon #1 Cover Gallery

Vampirella: Armageddon #1 (2025) hits the newsstands today. Here is the official summery: "Return to the future world of Vampirella and Sepulcher City in Vampirella: Armageddon, from Vampirella writer Tom Sniegoski and artist Kewber Baal! Picking up from where our last series (Vampirella Strikes!) left off, Vampirella faces internal and external forces of chaos as a new threat arrives to stare her down! A threat… not of this mortal plane!"

Of course, there are several variant covers to collect. One of my favorite covers is the Universal Monsters cover by Mark Spears since it has Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, Wolfman, the Mummy and the Creature of the Black Lagoon.

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 27: Star Trek: Holo-Ween #4 Cover

The cover of Star Trek: Holo-Ween #4 from IDW Publishing features Redjac with his arm around Scotty's neck while Armus has Riker as a Wolfman and Deanna Troi as a mummy queen in his grasp. This is the final issue of the mini-series and it was indeed a real treat to read.

There is a great homage to classic monsters in this issue with Deanna Troi as a mummy queen, Riker as a wolfman, Worf as a Gill Man and Picard as Mr. Hyde:

The CW Picks Up Transylvania

Looks like another monster tv series is a go according to Monster series Transylvania officially picked up by The CW. It will feature an American woman in the 1880s teaming up with a Scotland Yard detective to find her father in Transylvania. Expect new origins of Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, the Wolfman and other creatures.

To be honest, I watched the first season on The Vampire Dairies but wasn't all that impressed enough to tune in to the second season. I never watched an episode of The Originals but I do want to see the first episode of Transylvania.
