I found a Legends of the Dark Rider Batman horse Kenner 1994 toy at a thrift store for a buck. My son knew exactly what to do. Scooby Doo Headless Horseman rides again!
He probably didn't forget the word "concert". No clue about that album because I only know one song from Mason Williams, Classical Gas, because my dad was trying to learn it on an acoustic guitar. I can't hear that song without thinking of my dad. It is indeed an ear show. youtu.be/mREi_Bb85Sk?...

So according to collector David Dowd, there was a pitch to bring Frute Brute back in 2006 and it got nixed. The design is great. I wonder if Yummy Mummy was included in the pitch too. The only info out there seems to be this post in a cereal collector group on Facebook.
#vintageBoardGame #VintageHalloween CREATURE CASTLE Whitman Western Publishing 1975 Huge play mat 30 inches X 30 Inches Square Start in the Dungeon and race out of the castle drawbridge Great vintage creepy art on the play mat although the cobra with plastic fangs mammalian dentition is weird.

You die. I can generate three extra guys per turn (if you die by timeout) then decide when to go for it and get 50 hearts and beat Grim Reaper. It will give you practice on Grim too to figure out his patterns. This room is super important! Triple crosses makes Hallway of Death medusas+armor so easy!
Use the stairs before grim reaper (where the wall meat is) to stock up on the five heart on top immediately head back down back up jump hit repeat. I use the blood skeletons to generate extra lives and multiplier triple crosses. As long as you get at least one extra life each time doesn't matter if
Cross boomerang with triple power up is the way to go. You hop up throwing two crosses on level where he is flying another on your level to hit his scythes. Whip any scythes crosses miss. Stay away from him concentrate on scythes and eventually crosses will take him down. Can beat it unscathed now

PULP FICTION was released 32 years ago today. A cultural phenomenon on its release, and the movie that catapulted the career of writer-director Quentin Tarantino, the tale of how it came to be is the Big Kahuna Burger of making-of stories…. 1/67
I almost bough the Atari art book. You will never see more impressive and imaginative misrepresentations of the actual game in the box again in this world.
I heard someone call all this cheaply made, mass produced, Holiday decor that you are expected to switch out every couple of years for the next trendy set "decorating with landfill-core" and I love that term now.
As @pmcnamee67.bsky.social just reminded me, you can read 'The House of Arabu' in this Del Rey volume, The Horror Stories of Robert E. Howard. In fact if you're looking for a great volume of horror, look no further.
#VintageToyTuesday here are all my vintage Killer Tomatoes. i've been trying to find these guys since i was at least 10yo, so this is the culmination of 30yrs of collecting, ha. these guys are scarce, and expensive. my hope is to have thr whole set by the time i'm at least before i'm 80yo lol 🍅
Atari 2600 Surround 1977 I love this game so much fun. It is basically Tron light cycles where you cause your opponent to crash into the wall generated as you move to score. Worst graphics ever just two dots but tons of fun for hours for me and my brother. I still play it with my kids.
