Noggin Bops “Spookies” Rule!

by -RoG- on 10/17/2008, 11:18 am

Noggin Bops just might be the best Halloween wind-up toys EVER.

I've always been a sucker for spooky wind-up toys, and I'm sure many of you remember the Harbingers of Bad Luck from a few years ago. Well, take just one look at the new toys pictured above and I'm sure you'll agree that they're among the greatest Halloween wind-ups ever created. They're called "Spookies" and are a part of the Noggin Bops wind-up toys series. And man oh man, do these things bop with the best of 'em as you'll see shortly. But first, I need to introduce you to each character.

The vampire is "Drac". The monster is "Frankenhead". The pumpkin is "Jack-O-Bop". The skeleton is "Skully". The mummy is "Wrapper". There's also a witch named "Cackle" but I haven't found her in stores... yet. Ok, now that you've all met, I'd like to share my lil' Noggin Bops "Spookies" Halloween tribute video where these toys show off just how well they can bop to a good tune. (more...)

Crayola’s BOO-Licious Brownie Kit.

by -RoG- on 10/16/2008, 3:51 am

Are you hungry for some Halloweeny treats with an artistic flair? You're in luck, because Re is back to report on her experience with Crayola's new "Boo-Licious Brownie Kit". Take it away Re!

Who wants to eat some crayons?

Rog and I found this brownie kit at Target and I decided to give it a try since, as I said in my last post, I'm trying to be devilishly domestic this Halloween season. The kit seemed fun enough and I thought it looked like it would be pretty easy to do. (more...)

Max Burbank’s Scary-Ass Trading Cards.

Max' Burbank's Scary-Ass Trading Cards.

Hey all, I just wanted to let you know that we're officially canceling Max Burbank's "Scary-Ass Trading Cards" Series III set for this Halloween. I'm sorry to report that Max's father recently passed away and the last thing he probably feels like doing is writing humorous material at the moment. That's why you haven't seen any new material from him on I-Mockery this Halloween season. Tons of you collect those cards each year and I know you were looking forward to them, but given the circumstances, I'm sure you all understand. Believe it or not, Max really wanted to dive right back in to working on the cards (despite my telling him not to even bother) because he didn't want to let you guys down, but it proved to be too difficult. Just shows you what kind of a guy he is... always thinking of others before himself.

Please join me by taking the time to leave a comment in the blog to extend your best wishes to Max and the rest of his family.

The Horror That Is The Transformers Optimus Prime Halloween Pail.

Autobots! Transform and... eat some ants!

I've sung many praises about Target and how well they handle Halloween season every year, but this particular item of theirs isn't going to receive any high marks from me. Believe it or not, what you're looking at is supposed to be Optimus Prime's head as a trick-or-treating pail to place your candies in. Sure, it's not the greatest idea anyone's ever had for a Halloween candy container, but it's the execution of said container that boggles my mind. It's as if they tried to combine the faces of Optimus Prime and Alf.

Now, we all know that any self-respecting trick-or-treater wouldn't be caught dead with this thing. If you're going trick-or-treating, your candy collecting weapon of choice has got to be a pillowcase. Accept no substitutes. Furthermore, if you see anybody with that lame pail, you are hereby instructed beat them to a pulp and steal what little candy they were able to fit inside Optimus Anteater's hollow skull. I don't even care if it's a little kid walking around with this atrocity in his or her hand... it is your duty as an official Halloween representative to uphold certain standards of quality. If you have to beat up a kid here 'n there to keep those standards intact, then so be it.

Boo Berry “Razzle Boo Blitz” Flavored Fruit By The Foot.

by -RoG- on 10/06/2008, 3:59 am

Your favorite monster cereal, now mashed into a foot-long roll of fruit substance. Mmmm Mmmm good!

I've had a bunch o' people email me about these "new" Boo Berry flavored Fruit by the Foot snacks. Contrary to popular belief, these have actually been out for several years now, but this is the first time I've been able to find them in a store... and it's apparently because I was looking in the wrong place all along. Boo Berry is the last thing you would expect to find in a CVS, but there he was in all his spooky splendor on a box of Fruit by the Foot "Razzle Boo Blitz" flavored fruit snacks. It's also not exactly the kind of product you'd expect to see Boo Berry on either, but at least they didn't try to shoehorn Count Chocula into their fruit snack line (not that I wouldn't try it if they did).

Anyway, the packaging looks just like this year's Boo Berry cereal box (which sadly comes with no extra goodies), and each Fruit by the Foot snack is nicely wrapped in Boo Berry themed foil. Sounds pretty good right? There's only one small problem with all of this... (more...)

Looking For A Halloween Costume? Look No More.

by -RoG- on 10/03/2008, 2:17 am

I *NEED* THIS COSTUME.

It's as if somebody spilled toxic waste all over a boy standing on a shag carpet and this hideous mutant was the resulting tragedy. Well, since I'm sure there's no chance in hell that any of these amazing masks and mitten sets are around anymore, I for one have full intentions of making a replica of them myself. I suggest you all do the same as soon as possible. I want this costume. I want to be a shag sasquatch. I want to run through the streets and howl into the moonlight like a ferociously furry madman. I want this costume. (more...)
