It was gonna happen. That time when I start to think, "Hmm, what do I own that is spooky?" and then I remember I haven't done a Mighty Max post yet. I think anyone who has visited this site before should be somewhat familiar with Mighty Max by now. Essentially Mighty Max was Polly Pocket …
Do you remember the days when the Kenner toy company decided that kids had been mollycoddled enough and it was time that they lost a few fingers? I give you 'Mini Traps' from The Real Ghostbusters toyline! Now I am exaggerating a little bit when I suggested that these toys could remove …
If anyone is going to contest any of my posts for not being 'spooky' enough for Halloween, this is probably going to be the one. Small Soldiers isn't really a horror movie, though it was directed by Joe Dante who also directed Gremlins which is considered to be a creature movie, if not a horror …
Anyone who has read my posts on cereal toys will know how disappointed I am that some countries got amazing toys in their cereal that we sadly didn't get here in the UK. Well this is much worse. In 1979, Remco released a line of figures based on the monsters from the Universal movies, in …
Nowadays, there are quite a few video games that feature witches as playable characters in games (Bayonetta being the most recent that springs to mind) but back when I was a kid, witches were almost always just there to fill the role as a villain, or a side character at best. But then I discovered …
I really wanted to cover a spider action figure for the Halloween Countdown as spiders are one thing that genuinely terrifying to me, and my life is currently devoid of anything new that I truly find revolting but want to pose and feed other action figures to.

It's that time of year again! That glorious but finite occasion where confectionery in stores become suddenly horror themed, costume parties are aplenty and we garb our homes in cobwebs, plastic spiders and other seasonably fiendish items. Or if like me you live in the UK, you'll probably treat Halloween as a minor inconvenience or …
It's been an age since my last odd food post, but after receiving a parcel from my Auntie labeled 'blog fodder', a comeback was well overdue. The parcel contained two things, this being the first: I like chocolate, including dark chocolate, but I can't say I had ever experienced the taste of …

Pokémon was a huge part of my childhood in the '90s. What wasn't to love about cute little monsters that turned into less cute monsters, all the crap to collect and the fact you could eat Pikachu shaped spaghetti shapes? When I reached high school in 2001, it was definitely a lot less cool to …
