All in the Cards

... Although I only have a FEW of the cards!


Here are the other two "Scare-Cards" from Scary Monsters mag which I've encountered.

Feel free to let me know if you get a prize while writing to the above address.

See you Monday for the final week of this year's BLOG-O-WEEN!  It's a date, ingrate!

Those Halloween Kids!


I first noticed these silhouetted Halloween kids on Hiland Dairies’ Chocolate Peanut Butter Milk—which is scrumptious, by the way.
Then I noticed those kids in a 2011 folder of clip art. Then I noticed them all over!
This one’s from 2019.
This is from a Mixcloud show for which I’ve misplaced the particulars.
And this one’s from 2015.
The one above is a variation.

The "orignal" image is supposedly “only available” from istockphotos. But tell me, where else have YOU seen it?  I know those kids are out there somewhere RIGHT NOW!

See ya Friday.

Target -- Earth!


 Scary Books, Kiddies!

Flying Saucer Invasion – Target Earth! by Brad Steiger and Joan Whritenour. Award Books, 1969.

This is not only a more serious book than the sensationalist title, it’s an anthology by some credible writers, including John Keel, George Duplantier, and the editors (“partly” credible in the case of the editors).
I have no idea where the “experts in 40 countries” means, since there are about ten total authors. But the rear cover explains: It’s the reports, not the experts, that are far-flung. Huh.

See you Wednesday, kiddies!  Keep watching the skies!
