Halloween Movies - Crimson Peak and Hotel Transyvania 2

Crimson Peak


In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider. Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds...and remembers.


This movie felt extremely long and confusing.  The story line is choppy.  Most of the devices used to develop story go absolutely nowhere and some make absolutely no sense. I am all about suspending disbelief to enjoy a story, but there is just TOO MUCH.  Other story points are crammed down your throat in several unnecessary ways. The characters aren't developed well, which is sad because they are good actors who were obviously doing their best to act the crap out of bad dialog.  And it's not scary. 

You know how people sometimes write posts on all the things wrong with the movie?  That post would be longer than the movie itself.

Verdict: Waste of Time and Money


Hotel Transylvania 2



This one was actually pretty good.  I enjoyed it more than I did the first one.  There are lots of jokes and gags that the kids will love and plenty of subtle  jokes for adults, that will go over kids heads.  There's a good little story and lots of fun action.

Verdict:  The Kids will love it and you will enjoy it too.

Universal Monsters Dracula Puzzle - Halloween Decorations

I love Halloween and Horror Movies!  Especially anything with Bella Lugosi in it.  I absolutely love Dracula and could go very macabre and decorate my entire house in vampires and zombies.  I've decided to go a little more mainstream.  I am finally willing to let this puzzle go.

Coloring Book Showcase - Meet the Muppets 1977

This coloring book was made by Happy House.  They probably make the best coloring books.  They are detailed, have new art we haven't seen, and know the characters.  I hate today's generic coloring books!

Treasure Trolls - Galoob - Booklet

I have to admit that I never understood the appeal of Trolls.  I remember a friend having a whole shelf of them and I was afraid to sleep over at her house because they just creeped me out.   But I know that people love them and use them as good luck charms.  It reminds me of that episode of Brady Bunch, when they thought the Tiki idol was lucky but they later decided it was really unlucky!  Whether you are for or against trolls, enjoy....





A few Trolls I have for sale now ....

Snoopy's Wardrobe 1971

Snoopy had quite the wardrobe!  He must have tried lots of jobs in the 70's. Not sure I'd feel real confident if Surgeon Snoopy walked into my operating room.




A few Peanuts items I currently have listed on Ebay...........

Kenner 1984 Toy Catalog - The Winners Keep Coming From Kenner

 
I found this cool site that has Kenner Toy Catalogs from the 80's, completely scanned.  I have wanted to get my hands on these catalogs for years but they always sell for crazy money.  This is the link to the 1984 catalog, which is fulled to the brim with Strawberry Shortcake, Star Wars, Care Bears Play Doh, Super Powers and more.
