This miniature broom witch figurine is only 3-1/4" tall. She is wearing a black dress, purple cape and black pointy hat with purple trim. She is holding a homemade straw broom in both hands. She has shoulder-length brown hair amd white eyebrows. The miniature broom witch has some heft to her. I picked her up at the local Dollar General and she looks like a good witch instead of a wicked one.
I have always loved 3D erasers ever since I was kid. You didn't dare try to erase with them but they were fun to put on pencil tops. Unfortunately, the ones I had didn't stand the test of time and were either lost or tossed when they broke. In 2014, I posted about the Halloween Erasers that I picked up at the local Dollar General. I picked up these 3D Halloween Erasers from the local Dollar Tree. The five erasers include an orange pumpkin, a fat black bat, a purple skull, a green owl and a blue skull. They kind of cheated by having two skulls but at least they are different colors. They are also made in China under the Premiere label (the back shows that they were distributed by Greensbier International, Inc. aka Dollar Tree).
I picked up this The Nightmare Before Christmas Hot Wheels #3 at the local Dillons a few weeks ago. The '59 Cadillac Funny Car is all black with orange windows. There are pumpkins on the sides, Jack and Sally next to each other is on the top and a spiderweb with Jack's face on the hood. This is from the Hot Wheels Premium Disney 2019 line so it was about five dollars. Others in the set includes Beauty and the Beast Super Van, Aladdin Deco Delivery, Mulan Dream Van XGW and Lion King Custom GMC Panel Van. This was the only one the store had and it was mixed in with the regular Hot Wheels. I usually see Hot Wheels Premium cars at Walmart's but I have never seen this series or the one based solely on The Nightmare Before Christmas.
I picked up The Midnight Man DVD at the local Dollar Tree a few weeks ago. I watched it yesterday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Robert Englund, who is mostly known for his role as Freddy Kruger in A Nightmare on Elm Street, actually has a supporting role and is not the main star as the DVD covers suggest. Yes, you read that right for this DVD has two covers. Side one features the Midnight Man himself (he's played by Kyle Strauts, who has been on the CW's The Flash and Supergirl) while side two features Gabrielle Haugh as Alex Luster (she played Addison in Jeepers Creepers III). Lin Shaye also stars in the movie as Alex's grandmother, Annie (she played the teacher on A Nightmare on Elm Street and acted in several movies and tv shows). She's actually creepier than the Midnight Man.
In addition to the American movie that was released in 2016, this DVD also has the original 2013 Irish movie that it is based on. Midnight Man starring Philippa Carson as Alex. I basically got two horror movies for a dollar and you can't beat that.
DC The Doomed and the Damned #1 is an 80-page giant that DC Comics released on December 13, 2020. The stories are a mix bag of horror and humor. I really hope they release more issues under this title, which is a homage to The Brave and the Bold series.

Tales of the macabre, the murderous, and the morbid abound in this spine-chilling special about monsters and mayhem!

All this and seven more fang-tastic tales to trick your treats and bob your apples."
