Ten Spooky Product Finds June 2022

6/29/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Another month is coming to an end which means another month closer to Halloween and we're now officially at the beginning of Spooky Season!

TK Maxx and Homesense here in the UK have finally started to stock spooky products and I could not be anymore happier! It is always so exciting to see spooky things appearing in store and the fact that this year appears to be the earliest year so far, is a treat all by itself! 

The past month I have discovered so many wonderful products, especially spooky pins and like usual, the majority of the products below are from small businesses too.

Halloween Forever Print

Picture
Stores are starting to stock spooky products and for those of us who look forward to this time of year, this print is perfect for you.

This Halloween Forever print from Sandstar Art is available in A5 and can be purchased with a mount for easy framing. 

The print is so adorable and features two cute ghosts holding a large love heart. A sweet little bat and Jack o'lantern are above, with autumnal flowers around the heart too.

You can pick up this print and many other spooky products from Sandstar Art right here. 

Spooky Ghost Knife Pin

Picture
The second ghost product on this months list is this cute ghost pin. 

The pin features three little ghosts floating around a knife. The ghosts also glow in the dark when the lights go out, adding another layer of  spooky goodness to this pin. 

One thing I especially love about this pin, is the fact the ghosts faces have bene screen printed onto the pin. I've never actually come across a screen printed pin in this way, but think it's such a clever way of adding small details. 

You can pick up this pin right here. 

In Memory Of My Sleep Pin

Picture
This months list does contain a handful of pins, as I came across so many awesome designs. 

The second pin on todays list is one of a series of spooky pins and the pin that jumped out the most to me is the 'In Loving Memory of Sleep' design. I absolutely love it and also love the other designs available in this series, which includes a ghost, pumpkin and more. 

You can pick up this pin right here.

HalloweenTown Pin

Picture
Full confession before telling you all about this next pin... I only watched Halloween town for the first time around a year ago... I had never seen HalloweenTown until Disney+ arrived in the UK, but I absolutely loved it and I absolutely love this pin too.

The pin recreates the Halloweentown book and features so much tiny detail. It's perfect for fans of the films and would make a great gift too. 

You can grab this pin right here. 

Trick 'r Treat Pop

Picture
Trick 'r Treat is one of my all time favourite films and I can watch it every single day of the year and never got bored of it. 

When Funko revealed two new TrT Pops this year, I was pleased to see more Pops being added to the current range but at the same time disappointed that both releases were of Sam. 

However this week it appears there are even more Pops on the way, with the reveal of Chuckles! Chuckles is one of the kids from the School Bus Massacre and they come with a cute Jack o'Lantern bucket too. 

Very little detail is known about this Pop and unfortunately I haven't been able to find it for sale anywhere yet. As this is only one of the school bus children, i'm keeping my fingers crossed that we see more characters soon! 

Boofy the Bat Pin

Picture
If you absolutely love bats, you will LOVE this next pin on this months list.

Boofy is a super cute, purple bat pin would look great on any outfit! The pin measures approximately 25mm and is made from hard enamel. Why not buy two of these pins and place them on the collar of your shirt/jacket?

You can pick up this little cutie right here.

Halloween Jack O Lantern Crossbody Bag

Picture
This year will see the end of the Blumhouse Halloween trilogy with Halloween Ends being the final film released in this series of films. 

We still have plenty of time before the film comes out, so why not prepare yourself for what is sure to be a great film with this amazing Halloween Jack o'Lantern Crossbody Bag?

The bag features the famous pumpkin from the original film and is lined with a matching Jack o'Lantern and Michael Myers fabric print.

You can pick up this awesome bag right here. 

Spooky Ghost Ceramic Collectible

Picture
A haunted home is a happy home and this ghost will definitely make your home happy!

This hand sculpted ghost is made from porcelain ceramic and featured a daisy print all over. This little ghoul is also available in three different sizes and you can choose from yellow or pink daisies too.  

You really can't get more Summerween than a flower print ghost! 

Pick up this little cutie and be sure to check out all of the other ghosts available from this store right here. 

Jack O Lantern Backpack

Picture
I absolutely love the next addition to this months list. How cool is this Jack O Lantern bag?

The bag has a full Jack o Lantern design on the front, with a pumpkin and bat print on the sides too. Inside contains a pocket to hold a 15 inch laptop, with pockets also on the front. This water resistant bag is the perfect way to show off your spooky side and would look great for your little ghouls school bag too!

The Jack o Lantern design is definitely giving me The Nightmare Before Christmas vibes.

You can pick this bag up right here. 

Murderous Ghost Pin

Picture
The name of this pin is what first grabbed my attention, as it's such a great name and design for a pin.

The Murderous Ghost pin features a naughty little ghost that has carved out and is now eating a poor Jack o Lantern. 

I adore this pin and love how it's also giving of a vintage Halloween style. The pin measures 2 inches too, so it's a good size pin! 

​You can pick up this pin right here.

2/18/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
February might contain the loveliest Holiday of the year but that doesn't mean we still can't get our spooky fix! 

Once again i've been trawling the internet in search of spooky products and here are my favourite finds of the month so far.

This month definitely has a theme too, as I came across so many ghostie finds, it was actually a tough choice on what to feature. 

All products in today's post are all from small businesses too, so if you make a purchase, you'll be supporting these amazing artists and stores. 

Trick 'r Treat Sam Halloween Throw Blanket

Picture
If you're a fan of Trick 'r Treat, then you will love this blanket!

This throw blanket features masked and unmasked Sam, along with his famous lolly and is made from super soft polyester. 

Measuring 6o inches by 50 inches means you'll also be nicely covered and wrapped up warm too. This blanket would be perfect at Halloween to wrap around yourself, with a nice bowl of Candy Corn and Trick 'r Treat on the Tv!

You can grab this blanket right HERE.

Ghost Foot Stool

Picture
The first ghost product on todays list is a great one!

This footstool from The Divine Occultist has been up-cycled by hand and features a ghost and tree print all over. 

The legs have also been repainted black and a tassel edge has been attached all around the stool. This really would look amazing in a gothic themed home or just a haunted house! 

Having purchased from The Divine Occultist in the past, I can definitely recommend this product and also great customer service too.
​
You can grab this (and many other products) right HERE.

Ghost Suncatcher

Picture
Winter might be in full swing, but spring is just around the corner and with a new season, comes longer days.

This sun-catcher has been made by hand and features an adorable ghost with pumpkin pail. This would look great in your window throughout the year and will look especially nice come Spring and Summer, when you'll be able to enjoy the sunlight hitting it longer. 

You can pick up this ghostie right HERE.

Sleepy Hollow Blanket

Picture
Keeping warm was clearly in my mind when searching for spooky products this month, as here's another blanket on today's list. 

This Sleepy Hollow blanket features an incredible Headless Horseman design and is made from 100% polyester. 

The blanket measures 130cm x 175cm and is also machine washable too. If you're after something even more cuddly though, you can grab this blanket made with Sherpa fabric. 

Order your very own Sleepy Hollow blanket right HERE.

Ghost Story Pin

Picture
I think this pin might be my favourite find on today's list. 

This Ghost Story inspired pin features a ghost staring out of the window, longing for its family to return. Fans of this film will love this pin and if you've never seen A Ghost Story, add it to your list of films to watch asap!

The pin is also double layered, with the window frame being the top layer. This pin is fantastic and such a clever design. Even if you haven't seen the movie, I highly recommend adding this pin to your pin collection. 

​You can pick up this ghostie pin right HERE.

Pin Up Ghost Print

Picture
It seems like sexy ghosts have become a bit of a thing in the last couple of years and this print features a great one!

This original design from Lavender Seance features a playful ghost, showing off a little more than just its sheet. When I first came across this, it really made me laugh and I knew I just had to add it to this months list. 

What's more is that, the images feature one of my very own products... the Vintage Halloween spirit board, this of course did not mean this product was more likely to be featured, but it was a really nice surprise to see one of my own products used for this. 

​You can pick up this print right HERE.

Oogie Boogie Ears

Picture
Well, well, well.... what have we here? Oogie Ears? oooooo i'm really scared!

How cool are these? These handmade Oogie Boogie ears are made from soft marino wool felt and feature Halloween Towns biggest villain. Oogies eyes, mouth and the dice in the centre of this headband all glow in the dark. 

These would be amazing to take with you to Disneyland during October, especially during the evening when the park is dark.

Pumpkin Gizmo Pin

Gremlins is such a great film and one of the best things about that film's is Gizmo, add in a little bit of Halloween and you've got this adorable pin.

Halloween Bunting

The final product on today's list is this Halloween Ghost and Pumpkin Bunting. 

The bunting contains three pumpkins and two ghosts hanging on jute twine. It has vintage style, that I absolutely love and this would look amazing during Halloween, or just hanging up all year.

5/29/2021

Picture
Funkoween 2021 has arrived and we've been treated to SO MANY new treats for this year. 

Last years event was amazing, but they have truly outdone themselves this year with brand new Trick 'r Treat, Boo Hollow, Carrie, Brightburn, Marvel, The Office releases and that's just the tip of the iceberg. 

Check out all of the new Funko products that have been revealed below and then make space on your shelves as you'll be needing it!


Paka Paka - Boo Hollow

How adorable are these? Paka Paka Boo Hollow characters will be available as Pops, Plushies and Mystery Minis. I honestly cannot decide which one I need more, so i'm going with all of them. Every. Last. One! 
Disney Villains 

Disney Villains are getting more new releases with new characters, large pops, minis, plush dolls and limited edition releases. The new release of Maleficent in dragon form is ten inches high and is available as a glow in the dark variant exclusively from Amazon. 

My favourite release from this collection is definitely Ursula on her throne. I think the fact they've included Flotsam and Jetsam really mades this a must have pop for Disney Villain collectors. 
Hocus Pocus!

It's no surprised that a new Hocus Pocus Pop has been revealed. Funko have been releasing new HP pops for the past few years now and I am over the moon to see Dani and Binx are finally getting the Pop treatment. Two brand new Hocus Pocus Funko T-shirts will also be joining Dani this year too.

The new pop features Dani in her famous witch costume, with Binx curled up in her arms. I absolutely love this Pop and although I was hoping to see more characters this year, it's great to see that Funko are extending even further into the Hocus Pocus range. Dani will be exclusive to Spirit Halloween in the USA and Shop Disney in the UK and Europe.
Picture
Jaws

Fans of the classic film Jaws should be pleased to see that not only is a new Jaws Pop being released but it's a movie moments Pop! This large Pop is incredible and definitely one for fans of the film.

The entire Halloween movie franchise is definitely in my top ten list of all time favourite films and Funko are treating us to three new Michael Myers pops. You'll be able to grab a standard and bloody variant of Michael. A new 10 inch Jumbo pop will also be available! 

There will also be brand new Halloween 2 Loungefly products also.
Stitch

Stitch has definitely had a Halloween makeover this year with a brand new Jack O'Lantern pop, plush and loungefly treats!
Picture
Gremlins

Another film that I absolutely love has to be Gremlins and it's so great to see these brand new Pops! They're available in 4 different designs with a jumbo sized Gizmo also being available and two mini keychain Pops too.
The Nightmare Before Christmas

It definitely would not be Funkoween without The Nightmare Before Christmas making an appearance. This year Funko are releasing a whole heap of new NBC products, including the absolutely amazing train Pops! The train has Jack at the front with Sally, Oogie, Mayor, Zero and the Clown all hooked behind. I am already making plans for making this train a feature when decorating for Halloween this year. 

New NBC Pops from Funko's Art Series will also be available in 6 different designs, along with a large Jack on the Snowmobile Pop too. Throw in 4 new keychains, a card game, t-shirts and a Mayor pop and you've got yourself one very spooky Halloween feast for the eyes. 
Corpse Bride

A new Corpse Bride Pop is on the way and this time it includes her maggot friend, lovingly popping out of her eye socket. There's also a new SODA Corpse Bride figure two which will available in a standard and Chase variant.
Trick 'r Treat

It's so great to see another Trick 'r Treat Pop being released this year and this time it's unmasked Sam that will be joining the range.  This particular pop is exclusive to Hot Topic in the USA and Pop in a Box in the UK. Although it's nice to see another TrT release, I would love to see a few other characters from the film. Rhonda would be an amazing addition! 
General Mills

Sadly General Mills cereal is not a thing here in the UK. Every Halloween I wish to see boxes of this cereal in UK supermarkets but unfortunately it's never the case.... that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the Pops though! 3 new cereal bowl and watch Funko releases will be joining 3 new SODA Pop figures this year! 
Marvel

New Marvel Pops will be available from Venom, Thor and Hulk! You'll be able to get your hands on new Venom Pop pens too, which will be available in four different designs. 
They Live

If I told you this film terrified me as a kid, it would be an understatement. They Live truly was the thing of nightmares when I was growing up, but having watched it again recently and realising how good it is, i'm over the moon to see it's received a Pop makeover. 

John Nada with his alien-revealing sun glasses is being released alongside one of the aliens, which is available in two variants. 
Evil Dead

Ash Williams is once again receiving the Pop treatment with two new releases. The first being a new Funko Pop figure available in two different variants. Joining him is.... well himself but as a SODA release.
Universal Monsters

Three new Universal Monster Pops are on the way. You can grab Dracula, Frankenstein's Bride and Wolfman Pops, as well as new Loungefly products.

Funko have also teamed up with Little Golden Books to release a Funko Universal Monster children's book too.
SODA

New Vampire Mickey, Ghostbusters, Edward Scissorhands and more SODA Funko figures are being released! 
DC

A total of ten new Dia De Los DC Hero Pops will be joining the already huge range of DC Pops. These new releases include Harley Quinn, The Joker, Bane, Batman and more, all with a Die De Los inspired makeover. 
The Office USA

Who doesn't love The Office USA? I was never a fan of the UK version but was hooked by the USA show. Adding to their already large catalogue of The Office Pops, new Halloween themed Funkos are available to buy this year. There is also a new SODA Dwight figure too! 

I originally only saw the SODA figure and was disappointed to see Pumpkin Dwight was a chase variant but to see a general release is fantastic and i'm sure i'll be adding him to my Pop collection soon. 
And More!

Elvira, Brightburn, Vincent Price have all been announced for this year, with a brand new Carrie Pop also joining the current Carrie range. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Curse of La Llorona also have two releases each that are  a must for horror fans.

This is definitely not all of this years releases, so for more news and updates be sure to check the Funko Twitter and Facebook for other revealed products coming soon!

New Treats From The Trick Or Treat Studios 2021 Catalogue!

1/21/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
Trick or Treat Studios have released this years product catalogue and it is bursting with so many amazing new arrivals.

There are so many things that are being released this year that I personally cannot wait to get my hands on, especially the new Trick 'r Treat goodies. I have highlighted some of my favourite new collectibles for this year below and be sure to hit the link at the bottom to check out the full catalogue. 

All products will be available for pre-order later this year from Trick or Treat studios.

Halloween Franchise

New arrivals for the Halloween franchise is pretty much Halloween law. You simply cannot have a new Halloween without something new related to the films and I am already obsessing over the new Halloween 3 Witchboard!! 

​The board features the three famous masks in three corners and a Silver Shamrock Planchette that includes a snake across the front. The vintage style design really makes this board pop... I wonder if you could summon the ghost of Conal Cochran with this...
Picture
Joining the Witchboard is a new Young Michael Mask Clown Mask, Strode Realty and Santa Mira signs and a surprise product I never expected to see.... new Halloween Soaps in three different designs! I am so curious to know what the scent of these will be. 

There are also new releases for Halloween Kills due this year which include a new Mask, Coveralls and Butchers Knife. These new products have not yet been revealed but should be closer to the films release (cannot wait!). 

Trick 'R Treat

I love, love, LOVE the Trick 'r Treat Purses from TOTS, although I wouldn't use one myself, they do look amazing. They're created in partnership with the wonderful Love, Pain and Stitches and it's so great to see that the line is being extended this year with two new arrivals. The famous Jack o'Lantern from the film has been transformed into two new purses. The first being a standard black and orange design with the second release being a lit Jack o'lantern variant too. 
Picture
When I saw the below decorations I gasped, I gasped so loud I think I hurt my throat. TOTS are releasing another Trick 'r Treat collection of card decorations and just look at them! The school bus which includes the children on-board and Rhonda and her home are part of the new designs. There's also two Sam decorations, with one that actually reminds me of the original animated short. These are definitely a Huge, HUGE need for this year.
Picture

Chucky

If you're a fan of Chucky then you're in luck as new dolls and busts from from The Seed of Chucky are on the way which include Tiffany and Glen. There's also two new masks from The Curse of Chucky to add to your growing collections too.

New Masks!

Originally I was going to features as many masks as possible but there are SO MANY new arrivals this year that i'm just going to feature some of my favourites. New Universal Studio Monsters masks coming soon include Gillman, Werewolf of London and Man Who Laughs masks. You can also complete the gillman look with Gillman hands too!

There's also brand new Scooby Doo villain masks and a new Scary Stories To Tell In the Dark Jangly Man mask. Many more of the new masks that are not featured below are from popular films such as The Purge, Ghoulies, Haunt, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and more, so be sure to checkout the full catalogue via the link below.

Carrie and Gremlins!

One of my favourite new products to see this year is the Carrie Prom Dress Outfit. It looks amazing and it's nice to see even more official merchandise being released for such a great film. Which speaking of great films... how incredible are the new Gremlins dolls! These two new dolls will be released alongside a new Splice O' Life metal sign. 

Ornaments and Giftwrap

New to Trick or Treat Studios last year was a range of new wrapping paper and it's back and this time it's returning with ten new designs. The Halloween, Krampus and Trick 'r Treat wrapping paper is a huge must and I can actually see myself using these as backing for displays as I don't think I could let anyone tear through these, they are far too nice. Joining the new wrapping paper is The Shining, The Twilight Zone, Dungeons and Dragons and Iron Maiden wrap too. 
Picture

There's also a whole bunch of new hanging ornaments releasing later this year. It's great to see the original 1978 Michael Myers joining the line up along with the Halloween 3 masks. Throw in the new metal decorations for Trick 'r Treat and Krampus and your tree for this year is pretty much all set!

Seven Spooky Things To Do This Week. April 6th - April 12th. Easter special!

4/6/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Missing Halloween and the month of October? Me too! So from now until Halloween, each week they'll be a new 'Seven Spooky Things' post to ensure you can add a bit of Halloween to your day 365 days a year.

These Seven Spooky Things should keep you well spooked from April 6th to April 12th. 

​Check out this weeks activities below:

Picture
Monday

The end of this week is easter, so it only seems right that this week has a little Easter theme to make it a little more spooky (Halloween is all about eggs too right?). To start the week off there's a really easy craft project that you could potentially do with things in your home. All you need are pens, paints and plastic eggs!

Decorate plastic eggs and fill with candy for a Halloween egg hunt. Plus it'll be fun to do around the garden if the weather is nice right now. Find out more right here.

Picture
Tuesday

Here is another fun craft project that you can keep on going and going for as long as you like! All you need is rocks and orange paint.

Search for as many small rocks and pebbles that you can find then paint them all orange.  Leave them in a box (decorate the box too if you like) and then every now and again give one a different pumpkin face. You could do this with the kids too and maybe hide them around the garden also. It would be great if you don't want to give out candy for an egg hunt and instead the person who collects the most wins a prize. 

You can read a little more about this right here.

Picture
Wednesday

These vintage-style noise makers are another crafty project that is a lot of fun, super easy and great if you're having a little at home Easter party this week. 

All you need are balloons, card and lolly sticks. You can make these as a fun little toy or even place them into little Easter bags for kids. 

​Find out more and also print out the templates for these right here.

Picture
Thursday

This week, Thursday is movie night and for tonight's film you've got Holidays. 

Holidays was released in 2016 and is a horror anthology film that focuses on different holidays we celebrate throughout the year. This includes Easter and Halloween. The Easter short is actually one of my favourites from the film and has a really great twist. 

This film could technically be watched during any holiday so make this one of your new favourite films to watch throughout the year. The soundtrack is pretty great too. 

There is also a bonus movie for this week so keep scrolling below to check it out. 

Picture
Friday

Another crafty make for you today (we could all do with more crafty things lately :) and this one might be a little tricky to make if you don't have a fake pumpkin... but you can easily substitute that for something else and get the same great effect. 

This galaxy pumpkin is fun to make and looks fantastic. Even though the weather seems to be getting a little warmer it's still cold at night. So why not make this, build a fort and read/play games with this twinkling around the room. The perfect indoor camping night.

​Find out more and how to make it right here.

Picture
Saturday

Continuing with this weeks Easter theme, today we're making Marbled Eggs! All you need is food colouring and eggs to make these spooky snacks. They're also a load of fun for kids to make too. Decorate with plastic spiders to add an extra touch of spook.

​Oh and keep the egg cartons for tomorrow make.

Make your own right here.

Picture
Sunday

​This is your last Easter themed make for the week but hopefully if you've made any of this weeks creations you've added a little spooky touch to this holiday. 

Using egg cartons you can cut and paint to make little hanging bats! You can paint them in all different colours and decorate them however you like, maybe even paint them into bright pastels to add to a lovely spooky Easter display. 

Find out more on how to make these right here.

Bonus Easter Video!

If you love Trick'r Treat then you will love this mini short that was made by Fear Net a few years ago. Happy Easter to all those celebrating this week!

October 31st's Halloween 2019 reveal!

3/4/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
The best time of the year is almost upon us!
October is just around the corner and with it brings this years Halloween range!
Launching September 30th (just in time for spooky season) at 12pm (UK time) all the below products will be available. They are all limited edition and just like last year, they won't be restocked so get them while you can! 

Originally the theme for this year was going to be Witches but as the planning started it was clear that a little more time was needed to make it truly magical. The plan was for the range to be split into two themes, the first being something fun and magical and the other half was going to be more of a tribute to the witch trials of the UK and USA. More time was needed and so for now it has been placed aside with the intention to release in 2020 instead.



So with witches out something else needed to take its place... pumpkins and candy! 

This years range focuses on Jack'o Lanterns and Candy Corn! Two iconic symbols of the spooky holiday. Add in a small touch of horror and you've got the October 31st Halloween 2019 range. What's also new is that this year three of the products have been designed by Demi Luna Rose!

Check it out below and get ready for it's launch tomorrow! 


Badges
These badges will be available individually and as a set of five (at a lower price). The set includes 2 Pumpkins, Candy Corn, Trick or Treat and a Witchy Pumpkin badge designed by Demi Luna Rose.
Picture
Pocket Mirrors
Two different pocket mirrors will be available tomorrow. You'll be able to get your claws on the Candy Corn mirror or the Pumpkin and Horror themed mirror. 
Picture
Picture
Beanie Hats
Get ready for the colder days and show off a little love for Halloween with these embroidered beanie hats. Featuring three iconic pumpkins!
Picture
Pencils
Add a touch of spook to your stationary with this set of three Halloween pencils. This set contains a Trick or Treat, Happy Halloween and This Pencil is Haunted Pencil. Each pencil is also pumpkin orange. 
Picture
Stitch on Patches
Personalise your jacket, bag, jeans and more with these two stitch on patches. These screen printed patches are available in two designs, the first being an iconic pumpkin design and the other is the unofficial rules of Halloween
Picture
Stickers
Three new stickers available individually or as a set (at a lower price) will go on sale tomorrow. The Candy Corn Witch Hat and Pumpkin Lolly stickers have been designed by Demi Luna Rose. All three stickers are also waterproof!
Picture
Pumpkin Lolly Plush
The final product of this years range was never actually planned for the range. This Lolly plush was created over a year ago but was never added to the store. The original plan was for the lolly to support itself, so it always stood up and didn't bend but trying to get that to happen was a big no, so instead the Lolly plush does fully bend and curl. These will be available at a low price and will hopefully be re-released in the near future fully supported! They are handmade and very limited.
