Horror/Halloweeny/Spooky toys. Can anyone suggest some?

[starshipriot]

Hey guys.

I think a few of you have looked at my blog which is just a silly look at any old toys or games or anything I like and woulda liked as a kid.

I wanna do a couple of 'countdowns', one for christmas and one for Halloween. Focusing on the Halloween one as its nearest, I want to look at spooky or monsterish kind of toys. So far I have were-bears, mighty max, monsters in my pocket, pocket shockers, a few NES games and some kenner Alien figures (latter of which I may disregard as its more sci-fi than spooky). Can anyone suggest anything pre 90s that I could look at that would be in this category and fairly affordable. I wanted to find some universal monsters toys but they seem pricey!

If anyone can suggest something or point me towards something affordable or spooky from the 70s and 80s I would appreciate it! Thanks!

What about outlaw Skuzz from Bravestarr !
I found my old figure and his creep mobile with crystal in it. Found him not that long ago and can put a up picture if you want. He was a pretty creepy figure at the time!

How about 'holographic' Super Naturals figures ??

Some of those had 'spooky' faces.

I loved supernaturals as a kid as well. And I owned Skuzz and the good guy version! Awesome ideas fellas!

Horror top trumps are the bomb

Supernaturals were pretty good toy line but boglins were even better.

Remember those garbage pail kids cards. There wer a few nasty clients in those, I used to have hundreds of those cards swapping them at school.

Damn! Try picking those up now. Pricey

What about Mad Balls, or whatever they were called. Basically a ball with a monster face as I remember them.

Computer games - Ghosts & Goblins, Castlevania

Comics - Scream!

There must be tons of these things - figures, cars, games, probably even chocolate and sweets.

Used to love the Fighting Fantasy books as a kid, but this one really gave me the heebie jeebies! http://gfbrobot.com/2013/02/06/video-game-review-fighting-fantasy-gamebook-house-of-hell/

I actually brought the deck with me to CE Barry cos I knew you wanted to play them but I flaked out and didn't go to the pub like everyone else. What a *****!

There are two decks of the horror top trumps, this is a pretty good link to the various monsters and their inspiration/plagiarism for the pack I have.

Anyone ever own one of these? I never came across one of these before. I had to look twice before I realised what I was looking at.

Yes it certainly is an interesting item to own ! Not sure if its vintage or not I am sure they are still on on the production line somewhere because of demand :lol:

the game Nightmare where he turns into a zombie at the end lol, was a very niche game at the time on VHS.

I remember the vintage freddy dolls and jason voorhees masks too
