Spooky Cat Press Vintage Monster Mask Mini Cards

 If you're a lover of Halloween and somehow haven't discovered Spooky Cat Press yet, hold on to your wallet! They had a sale recently and I couldn't resist picking up these mini monster cards.

 

 I'm a sucker for anything with classic Halloween costume vibes so I had to snag these monster mask cards.

 

 There's 12 cards in the set, each with a different image. They don't open like traditional greeting cards but are double sided. The cards are 2"x3" and I would absolutely collect a trading card series like this if they decided to make more. Below the names is a fun little tagline and boxes where you can check Trick or Treat.

 

 The set also comes with 12 mini envelopes to put the cards in. The backs are all identical allowing you to select the type of Halloween wishes you want to bestow. Each set also comes with one of four mystery stickers that aren't part of the card set. I was really hoping to get Mr. Gilly (the Creature) but the Bride is pretty cool too.

 

If you want to pick up a set, or just browse some great Halloween/horror merch, head over to Spooky Cat Press today!

Halloween Hot Wheels 2026 - Baja Hauler

 When you hear Baja, Halloween is probably not the next thing that comes to mind but today's vehicle is the Baja Hauler.

 

 

When the Baja Hauler first appeared, it had an enclosed cargo space and the back door opened. This was changed in 2019 to an open air design and a door that no longer moved. Since then, it has been released in both versions. This is the twelfth Baja Hauler to be released and it's appeared with Overwatch and Disney paint jobs.

 

Considering the design is for off-road use, I'm picturing this like the runaway school bus in Nightmare on Elm Street 2 barreling across a desert wasteland carrying a full load of pumpkins. The pink metallic paint looks great and gives it an extra pop when tilted under light.

Better Luck Than Chuck - A Horror Trivia Game Show

Just ahead of spooky season, Better Luck Than Chuck, a new horror trivia game show, arrived on YouTube.

  

Hosts The Widow and her corpse of a husband Charlie, invite three contestants into their basement to compete in a trivia game show that tests their insight into fright. The Widow is a weird mix of Elvira and Peg Bundy, while Chuck's self-pity and sense of humor make them quite the darling duo. It's a fun twist to have the woman hosting while the man is the "sidekick" even though Chuck often steals the spotlight.

 

  

 

Contestants will need to put their brains to the test over two rounds to answer questions in categories like Holiday Horror, 80s Slashers, and Creature Feature. Also sprinkled in are occasional questions presented via video from notable horror icons. The winner gets to rummage through Chuck's workshop to try and find iconic horror items against the clock for a trip to Universal's Halloween Horror Nights. 

 

 

 

While watching the first episode, I couldn't help but think of my other favorite game show that takes place in a basement: MTV's Remote Control. It's got that same kind of indie vibe to it where it feels like you're hanging out with friends instead of watching a corporate polished presentation. There's a good spread of difficulty in the questions. I consider myself a casual, but enthusiastic, horror fan and I think some of these will give hardcore fans a challenge.

 

If you want to shake up your October scary schedule with something a little different, head over to Better Luck Than Chuck's YouTube channel where new shows drop every Thursday.
