READER BEWARE, YOU'RE IN FOR A SCARE... I don't think I knew anyone at my school who wasn't obsessed with Goosebumps at some point. Even kids who weren't into reading still read R.L. Stine's popular horror novel series. I remember going on holiday was always exciting, as there was a little bookshop in Porthmadog, and …

If ever there was a series of action figures that I'd encounter again and again as a kid, it would have be Imperial's Classic Movie Monsters line. Imperial Toys were known predominantly for their cheap dinosaur figures, but did have a few licensed products like these toys based on Universal's iconic monsters, as well as …

It's October, the month of Halloween, and that means an obligatory Mighty Max post! So I recently wrote an article on Mighty Max for an upcoming toy edition of Fusion Magazine, and whilst I was writing it I decided to have a look at how much Mighty Max toys were going on eBay lately. And …

Video games of the horror genre are by no means a rarity these days. This year alone has seen the release of games like the psychological horror Layers of Fear 2, as well as survival horror titles like the Resident Evil 2 remake and Days Gone. In the spirit of Halloween, I thought I'd take …
So Halloween has been and gone, and I was hoping that some action figures based on nasty bastards from various horror movies that I had pre-ordered months back would show in time for me to give them the attention they deserve on here at Halloween. Typically, there were delays and the figures weren't released until …

It is finally here! The final post of Halloween Countdown 2016! The 1980s were a busy time for small creature movies. By small, I don't mean small in budget (though many of these films didn't cost much to make) I mean small in size. None of the creatures in these films were going to climb …

This post is up a little than intended as I was out all day yesterday. But it's here now! This is honestly the last Mighty Max playset I will be looking at for a while. I am well aware that MM has featured heavily on this blog the last few months, but that's only …
Here's a toyline that is virtually unknown, which is a travesty. It's actually so unknown that I couldn't even remember what the toys were called even though I owned some of them as a kid. I had to ask the guys on a Monsters in My Pocket forum if they could offer any information as …
