Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 22 Bonus: Another Elvira's Movie Macabre on Comet TV Update
Elvira's Movie Macabre will be starting at 5 pm Central today on Comet TV with Manos, the Hands of Fate (1966) followed by A Bucket of Blood (1959).
Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 22: Hot Wheels Halloween 2021 #1: '33 Ford Lo Boy
The only Hot Wheels Halloween 2021 diecast car that I found this year at the local Dillons store was the '33 Ford Lo Boy. This is number one in a set of five and I'm surprised that I couldn't find any of the others in the set. This year's theme is Day of the Dead so there are plenty of skulls to be found. In fact, the wheels have red skulls in a red circle on them. The body of the car is metallic green and the interior is red. I really like the artwork on the card that features a skeleton driving the '33 Ford Lo Boy against the '76 Camero SS, which is the fifth car in the set. The other cars in the set include'71 Maverick Grabber, '74 Corvette Stingray and King Kuda. The only place to pick up the Hot Wheels Halloween cars is at the Kroger stores.
Here is a close up shot of the '33 Ford Lo Boy still in the blister pack:
I decided to add a picture that I found online with the diecast car out of the package to give you a better look at the amazing paint job:

Wonder Woman Gifts at DC Universe Online
You can get Wonder Woman gifts at DC Universe Online to help celebrate Wonder Woman Day. All players can collect the following items: Amazonian Warrior Chroma Pack, Bombshell Wonder Woman's Aegis (back item), Champion of Themyscira's Shield (back item), Reforged Wonder Girl's Bracers, Wonder Woman's 80th Anniversary Emblem, Wonder Woman's 80th Anniversary Poster. Members can also get a Transparent Wonder Plane (accessory). Click on the above link for some really cool screenshots. Unfortunately, I haven't played DC Univers Online since I had to get a new computer last month. For some reason, I couldn't get the online game to load so I gave up on it.
Happy Wonder Woman Day
You didn't think I would forget to post something for Wonder Woman Day did you? DC Comics released Wonder Woman 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular #1 (December 2021) on October 5, 2021 so you may still be able to find a copy. The nine stories include "In Memoriam" (the story continues in Wonder Woman #780), Young Diana in "Dreamers", "Fresh Catch" (she is saved by Etta Candy and her cheerleader squad in the 1940s), "Dear Diana..." (members of the JLA asks her for advice), "Dated" (Diana goes on a date with Clark Kent after they get him some hip mod clothes), "Better Angels" (Wonder Woman battles Cheetah again but with a nice twist), "Saturn Rises" (Diana introduces Saturnette, Ambassador from Saturn), "Immortal Mysteries" (Wonder Woman faces Demeter to save Professor Barnes) and "Low Orbit" (she saves people aboard a space station in 2109 AD). There are also several pin-ups of various Wonder Women over the years and even one of a very muscular Cheetah.
Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 21: Kellogg's The Addams Family 2 Cereals and Snacks
I have yet to find any of the local stores stocking the cereals and snacks that Kellogg's is doing to promote the new The Addams Family 2 animated movie. The cereals include Apple Jacks with Wednesday, Chocolate Frosted Flakes with Lurch and Froot Loops with Cousin Itt while the snacks include Rice Krispie Treats with Wednesday and Pop-Tarts Kooky Chocolatey Fudge Bites with Morticia. Kind of odd since the local theater has been running the movie for the past three weeks.

Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 20: World of Betty & Veronica Jumbo Comics Digest #9
Here's the cover of World of Betty & Veronica Jumbo Comics Digest #9 featuring Betty, Veronica, Archie and Jughead in costumes that was released last week (I do wish all of the stories inside were Halloween related but only about four are):

Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 19: Meet Rob Zombie's The Munsters
Yesterday, Rob Zombie posted on Instagram the first look at the main cast members of his new movie, The Munsters, that features Jeff Daniel Phillips as Herman Munster, Sheri Moon Zombie as Lily Munster and Daniel Roebuck as the Count. In the background is the newly completed house at 1313 Mockingbird Lane. I'm a fan of the original tv series so I can't wait to see what Rob Zombie does with them.

Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 18: Franken Berry 50th Anniversary Box
I picked up this 50th anniversary box of Franken Berry with the two other Monster cereals at the beginning of the month. My sister really likes this cereal but I always found it lesser than Count Chocula but better than Boo Berry. I'll be eating this when I'm done with the former. I still have yet to find any boxes of the Monster Mash cereal at any of the local stores and I'm about to give up at this point since it's so close to Halloween. I'm disappointed that none of the Monster cereals had any special toys inside.
The back of the box has the following text:
The Monsters have a new mash!
Meet the strawberry giant behind the electrifying music
Slapping away at the electric bass, this gentle giant is the spark that really brings the new Monster Mash to life. When it comes to touring, his only request is making sure his dressing room is twice the size of Count Chocula's.

Scan to hear the Mash and go behind the music!
Show off your fancy footwork!
Stick your arms out straight
Stomp right then left
Shake like you got a shock

Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 17 Bonus: Dia De Muertos Pop-Tarts Update
The local Walmart's is no longer carrying the Dia De Muertos Pop-Tarts. Instead, they have the Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts, which I do not plan on buying.
Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 17: Count Chocula 50th Anniversary Box
I picked up a family size box of the Count Chocula 50th Anniversary edition cereal at the beginning of this month. This will probably be the first of the three monster cereals that I will eat since it's my favorite. Of course, I still have to finish off the Halloween Crunch first and I don't always eat cereal every day (sometimes I just have a banana and/or yogurt).
The back of the box has the following text:
The Monsters have a new mash!
Meet the count who really rocks the choc!
Count Chocula tickles the ivories of his keyboard like someone who's been doing it for thousands of years. Well, because he has. On tour with Franken Berry, Boo Berry and the rest of the gang, Count Chocula always requests the darkest hotel room, please.
Monster Mash
Scan to hear the Mash and go behind the music!
Show off your fancy footwork!
Spread your wings
Flap your arms
Close the cape

Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 16: Boo Berry 50th Anniversary Box
I picked up this Boo Berry 50th Anniversary box at the local Walmart's at the beginning of October. It's still unopened and will probably be the last Monster cereal that I eat this year. I have yet to find any of the Monster Mash cereal at any of the local stores.
The back has the following text:
The monsters have a new mash!
Meet Boo, the ghost with the most!
Boo Berry is the backbone of the band...which is pretty remarkable for someone without a skeleton. When he is not busy keeping Franken Berry and Count Chocula from fighting over whose songs and whose cereals are the best, he's laying down wicked electric guitar solos on the new Monster Mash.
Monster Mash
Scan to hear the Mash and go behind the music!
Show off your fancy footwork!
Wave you ghost arms in the air
Swivel your hips
Then stop and go boo!
