Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 15: Halloween Crunch 2021 Box
Cap'n Crunch is a mad scientist on this year's Halloween Crunch box. I picked this up at the beginning of the month and have about two or three bowls left to eat. Yes, the milk still turns green thanks to the red ghosts. I did have a few ghosts that were all green, which makes more sense. Unfortunately, no toy was found inside the box.
Sorry about the really fuzzy picture of the back. This is another family size cereal so I had to use my digital camera instead of my scanner. Cap'n Crunch is working in his lab with Crunch Beast looking confused. There are also a few puzzles to solve. Here is what the text says:
Somewhere...deep inside the SS Guppy, the mad Cap'n has been busy blending up a mysterious mix of madness! Lucky for us, he's crazy about Halloween Crunch!
Oops! Crunch Beast opened the ghost portal! Help him find which switch closes it.
Speaking of ghosts, how many can you find?
Can you find 2 matching beakers?
You can view Halloween Crunch 2015 Box and Halloween Crunch 2009 Box.

Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 14: Ghostbusters Afterlife Cereal Box
I picked up a family size box of the Ghostbusters Afterlife movie tie-in cereal way back in the beginning of September. I finished off the so-so fruity flavored corn puff cereal with marshmallow ghosts by the end of the month. There were not nearly enough of the blue and white ghosts. Sadly, there is no cheap plastic Ecto-1 toy or Stay Puft Marshmallow Man spoon included in the box.
Unfortunately, I really need to get a new digital camera one of these days since the back of the box came out too blurry to read. Usually, I scan the cereal boxes but I couldn't do that since it is family size, which makes it too big to fit on the flatbed scanner. Here is what the text on the back of the box says:
Do you have what it takes to be a Ghostbuster? Strap on your proton pack, fire up Ecto-1 and get ready to see if you have what it takes to join the ranks of the Ghostbusters' team of paranormal investigators!
Do you believe ghosts are real? a. No...at least I really, really hope they aren't. b. Yes. My great uncle twice removed saw one onces. c. Heck yeah. There is one living under my bed right now.
You find a scret hidden chest of old ghost hunting equipment. What do you do? a. Play it safe and call the authorities. b. Cautiously test the equipment to see if it works. c. Strap on a proton pack and start hunting ghosts.

What equipment do Ghostbusters use to detect Psychokinetic Energy? a. Psychokinetic Energy sounds too scary. I don't want to detect it. b. PB&J Meter c. PKE Meter
What would you do if you found a ghost in your closet? a. Sell the house and move to another country. b. Try to tackle it. c. Grab a ghost trap and catch that noncorporeal entity.

Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 11: Dia De Muertos Pop-Tarts
I actually finished off a box of the Dia De Muertos Pop-Tarts the first week of October. I should of saved them for November 1st, which is the traditional Day of the Dead, but I didn't think they were going to be so tasty. They are frosted chocolatey churro flavored Pop-Tarts with nine different designs inked on the frosting. The flavor is not real strong and taste more like cinnamon brown sugar. I didn't get all nine designs in one box of sixteen and I might pick up another box if they are still on the shelves of the local Walmart's. The most common design seems to be the flowery skull and the Dia De Muertos banner. I would have liked the back of the box to show all nine designs instead of just four.

I recently got some really bad news so reading that Elvira hit one million followers on Instagram was really uplifting.

Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 8: Elvira Chia Pet
Yes, the Elvira Chia Pet is real according to their official website and will be available this fall/winter. I have read on Facebook that it won't be released until November so it would make a great gift for your Halloween friends or you can put it on your Christmas list this year. It would be cool if they could make black sprouts instead of green.

Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 7: Are You Afraid of Darkseid?
Are You Afraid of Darkseid? #1 is out now from DC Comics just in time for Halloween. The cover features Darkseid behind Robin as he is telling scary stories to the rest of the Teen Titans (Kid Flash, Crush, Aqualad and Red Arrow but Roundhouse is now where to be seen). This is their annual one-shot Halloween special but die-hard horror fans will be a bit disappointed as the stories found within are mostly for fun. The issue starts with "Are You Afraid of Darkseid?" as the Teen Titans camping and telling scary stories around the campfire. Red Arrow is first up with "Bloody Mary" that puts a New Gods spin on the urban legend that features Harley Quinn and Darkseid. Robin is up next with "Backseat Driver" that features Batman chasing Mad Hatter, who is riding a bicycle. Crush's scary story is "Escape the Dark Fortress" featuring John Stewart as Green Lantern with brief appearances by Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner and Katma Tui. Kid Flash takes his turn with "The Endless Staircase" featuring the Phantom Stranger. Aqualad's scary story is titled "The Ogopogo", which features him and Aquaman. Roundhouse doesn't want to tell a scary story so Red Arrow tells her second story, which is "Black Eyed Kids" featuring Vixen and Wonder Woman. Roundhouse changes his mind and decides to tell "The Celler" that finds Superman and Lois Lane looking for missing twins in Kansas (he gets his life force drained by a horrorifying female creature). The final page with the Teen Titans around the campfire is perhaps the scariest part of the whole issue.

Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 6: Marvel Zombies Venom Mystery Minis Funko Pop
Venom was the other Marvel Zombies Mystery Minis Funko Pop that I picked up. He stands about 2 3/4" and is about 3" wide. His long tongue hits his left knee and interferes with his bobble head action. I'm not a huge Venom fan but I will keep the horror freak up beyond Halloween also.

Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 5: Marvel Zombies Black Panther Mystery Minis Funko Pop
Out of the three Marvel Zombies Mystery Minis Funko Pop boxes that I picked up, two of them were Black Panthers. He stands about 2 1/2" tall and is about 2 1/4" wide. At first, I thought the green stuff was slime but it's actually zombie blood. I actually like the little bobble head horror and will probably keep him up way beyond Halloween.
