My Halloween Decorations ( Part 3 )

 

Time for some more of the things I’ll be spooking the place up with this year!

First, here’s a buddy of mine who sticks around all year, but still suits the season…it’s My Pet Monster!

He’s one of the newer My Pet Monsters and was bought fairly recently, but he doesn’t have the orange chains that came with the originals and also has a My Pet Monster tattoo on his foot…

He also has a lot to say for himself....here's a video with some of his mutterings!

Next, we have a hanging, ghostly, skeletal wedding couple, who’ve decided to bind their bones by getting hitched! 

Aww, ain’t that sweet..it fair lifts the SPIRITS to see such a lovely union! 

I wonder if they’ll have a bar at the reception, or if it’ll be bring your own BOOS!

Now we have a guy with something pressing on his mind…unlike the previous couple, I’m guessing he’d like to get rid of his old BALL & CHAIN!

I mean it’s understandable….it must be a right pain in the neck….

Boggling along next we have…Boglins! A normal size big Boglin, and a glow in the dark mini-Boglin!

I loved these puppets as a kid, especially the big ones which let you control the eyes with a mechanism inside the head like proper professional puppets! And they came in boxes that were designed to look like little cages, which was also awesome. I have some even smaller baby Boglins somewhere around the flat, but haven’t been able to find them lately…perhaps they’ve escaped…

Next is a couple of Ghostbusters toys…the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and one half of a water squirting toy duo, H2 Ghost…

The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is far from soft and squishy, as he’s actually made from Die-cast metal…

H2 Ghost is only the bottom half of a toy that my brother still has, I think…I found this bottom piece in a charity shop for 50p. I’ll put up a couple of photos downloaded from the net now to show you what it looks like with it’s top half…

As you can see it sits on top, and makes it look like one tall ghost…

..or you can take it off and have two small ghosts! Pretty cool!

Anyway, last for today is another toy I found in a charity shop and had to grab, because I’m pretty sure I had one as a kid! It’s this weird huge-mouthed King Kong thing!

It kinda reminds me of one of the monsters from the Ghoulies films, with its weird no-necked, head in the shoulders type design….

Anyway, I was going to end this post by asking King Kong how he felt about starring on the blog as one of my decorations, but he said he was sorry, he was in a rush, as he had to CATCH A PLANE….

(Sorry for the terrible puns in this post…I must have spent too long being a Cryptkeeper)

There'll be more decorations in a later post, but why not go have a look over at the Countdown hub and see what everyone else is posting!? Just click the badge below...

The Real Ghostbusters - Choose Your Own Adventure (Free With Trio Biscuits)

Trio biscuits were named as such due to three amazing types of food-stuff being smooshed together...chocolate, toffee and a biscuit-base! The topic of today's post was a similar melding together of three awesome things...and although it doesn't work out being quite as great as Trio biscuits, the fact it was free meant it was still pretty decent...

The trio of stuffs that make up this crazy other thing, are all things I loved towards the end of Primary school...the aforementioned biscuits, The Real Ghostbusters cartoon and choose-your-own adventure style role playing books! 

For some sort of promo-campaign, the free comic you can read below was the result of this particular smoosh-up, and as I've already said, whilst it's a bit rubbish and not very substantial, it was still a pretty cool thing to get as a little extra with your snacks!

Now, remember not to read this straight through or it won't make much sense...go to whatever page your choices direct you to interact and follow the story!

Although I've only got the above comic, there were another five to collect, as can be seen in the pic below. I've never ever seen any of these other ones....not even the covers, until I found this pic online whilst putting this post together....so if anybody knows if scans exist of these somewhere online, gimme a shout as I'd love to read them all!

I used to read the actual Real Ghostbusters comic too, but I've probably got enough to say about that, the toys and the cartoon for another blog post somewhere down the line, so yeah.....keep an eye out for that sometime this century! 

Oh, and I just discovered whilst looking at the Trio Wiki-page that they've apparently brought Trio biscuits back after 13 years! So have a look for those in the shops too, if you want to reintroduce your tastebuds to them or have never sampled them before!
