The Halloween collectibles thread

Thanks Murf! I'm going to do my best. I'm sure I'll cave in and have a few cookies now and then. But nobody's perfect.

Did somebody say cookies?

Here are a few of my horror movie posters that I shot pictures of a few years ago, this is only a small number of the posters that I have. Most of them are rolled and put away for now, but the first few posters in frames I currently have hanging in my work area of the basement.

The Crow poster used to be very rare because it was only available in the U.K. back in the 90s it was selling for over 200 bucks US, but I haven't looked what they sell for now. I know that there are reproductions of this poster out there, but this is a original that I got in the 90s.

Those are very cool, especially The Crow.

[MauEvig]

The Crow has the unfortunate story that the actor died during the making of it. But it's a really movie, and it takes place around Halloween if I remember right.

I like Nightmare on Elm Street and my favorite of the series is the Dream Warriors. I think it was cool when the kids all got super powers in the dream realm. Too bad Freddy had to go and take their souls, but he got defeated in the end.

The Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers, and Chucky movies are a very important part of my childhood, and they remain so to this day, and I have every poster for the original movies released in the franchises until the modern remakes. The funny thing about those movies is that the good guys always win at the end of each movie, but the villains always come back.

As for The Crow, I was 13 when the movie came out, and I actually dressed as The Crow for Halloween that year. The franchise has had 4 movies in it so far, 2 in theaters and 2 went direct to DVD. The remake of The Crow is supposed to be out soon, I think this weekend, and from what I saw in the trailer it looks like c-r-a-p. By the way, I looked up the poster from the U.K. on ebay, and it's going for around $400, I only paid $20 for it in the 90s.

Also, I was looking for some Halloween music and came across this... Hot Blood Disco Dracula. I think that my mother has this record, because the album cover looks familiar to me. I did listen to it online and it was exactly what you would expect it to sound like, mostly just cheesy fun disco music. If anyone actually wants to listen to it you can click the link below.

It's great for what it is!

It would be right at home in the background of a halloween episode of CHiPs!

[TheHeadlessHorseman]

It certainly would.

I just came across this online, the Great Pumpkin cookbook, so I went to ebay to get one right away. I don't know what's in it, and I probably won't ever use it, but I had to get it.

I had something like it when I was a little haunter.

If I recall correctly (and these days that's the tall order) it included 'pumpkin carols' in the back of the book.

[Murfreesboro]

Let us know what's in it!

[TheHeadlessHorseman]

I was curious about that as well, so I found some pictures of it online.
