The new Beetlejuice "Haunted Apple" Fanta is here, and it's so beautiful! Tastes like spiced green apples. I love everything about this!

Mickey's Parade Ice Pops, from the early '90s. If you never had these, just know that Donald Duck was the perfect shape for a popsicle.

Hostess Ninja Turtles Pies sign, from 1991. I love how proud Leo looks. Like he just won a trophy, only instead of a trophy it's a slime green pie filled with vanilla ooze.

Please enjoy this bizarre old McDonald's postcard, where Ronald, Grimace and pals have a birthday picnic (complete with three-foot cake) directly in front of a haunted house.

Here's a sealed six-pack of Chucklin' Cherry Squeezit, from 1997. Over 25 years old and they still look good enough to drink.

Disney's Scary Tales, from 1983. One of my favorite rentals as a kid, from our neighborhood's first video store. This was a compilation of spooky Disney shorts, with lots of Donald.

Just an update. I've had a rough run with my older cat's health this month. It's caused delays, but I've been working on everything that needs to get done (Funpacks, and the podcasts with Jay) in the background. I've had to be quieter lately, but nothing will be late. ✌️

Ghoul-Aid is back! After a few years of spooky slumber, Kool-Aid's Scary Berry Jammers have returned, with all-new (and very awesome) packaging. I've missed goth Kool-Aid so much.

Dino Drac's Eerie August Funpack is here! A bonanza of spooky art and creepy collectibles! VERY few left, details here: dinosaurdracula.com/blog/august-fu…

Here's a box of Franken Berry from 1987, back when it was still available all year. His eyeballs were actually a lenticular sticker, so Frank's glance would "follow" you around the kitchen. 👀

The Halloween 1996 issue of Disney Adventures Magazine, one of the few publications bold enough to give Curly from Goosebumps a cover story.

McDonald's Halloween Treat Certificates display, from 1998. I still think those certificates were some of the best things to get while trick-or-treating. (The green monster is named "Iam Hungry" -- one of McD's zanier mascots.)

Here's a pair of tiny-sized Halloween 7UP cans from the '90s. Love the Cool Spot pumpkins! For maximum effect you have to imagine chugging these while watching Family Matters on TGIF.

The Purple Stuff Podcast claws into the spooky season with eight great werewolves & wolf creatures from pop culture history! Listen here: dinosaurdracula.com/blog/werewolve…

Well, it's September.

In 1984, McDonald's gave these posters out to people who bought books of gift certificates. You'd hang 'em on your door to let trick-or-treaters know that you were handing out slips for McD's Cookies. 🎃🍪

Just scored one of Wendy's new "Frosty Frights" toys -- little figures that turn their classic Frosty into various ghouls. I got one of the best figures in the set, too: Franken Frosty! (Plus spicy nugs.)

From the 2001 Halloween season, here's Burger King's collection of The Simpsons Spooky Light-Ups. Frightful figures straight from Springfield, each with a light-up feature. Classic set!

Just found the new Wednesday Gushers! The flavor is "Blueberry Grape Despair," but to me they tasted like old school blackberry Ghoul-Aid. Goth Gushers get a thumbs up from me.
