Here’s a high-res scan of Goosebumps: The Haunted Mask VHS ad. This was a two-part episode, but the VHS presents it as a single uninterrupted 44-minute feature. Also, they opted to use the book cover art instead of a screenshot or cast photo. Guess it was more recognizable.

In case you missed it, and you probably did since nobody watches traditional TV anymore. Rivian released a Ghostbusters commercial featuring Peter Venkman and Slimer to promote a Halloween layout for their electric vehicles.

I prematurely bought Christmas mints cause I just like them. But since I don’t have any Christmas candy bowls out yet I put them in the Dunkin Halloween bucket 👀 I uh, I don’t know what I’m doing in that last pic.

McDonald's Japan currently has a Universal Happy Meal (Happy Set) featuring Jaws, Back to the Future, and Jurassic Park. Pretty neat. 👀

Here's a high-res scan of a Warner Bros Halloween VHS ad from 2000.

Here’s a high-res scan of a TV Guide cover from 1991 showcasing some new cartoons for the Fall. Interestingly, they use Doug’s concept design here and not the finalized version from the show.

Saw this in the supermarket and kinda had to get it. Limited Edition Hello Kitty Spam.

The Ghostface store.

Wolverine train…

I guess Trolls are making a comeback… 🤷🏻‍♂️

If you weren’t around when the second Jurassic Park movie hit, you probably won’t understand how cool it was seeing this ad at the time. Here’s a high-res scan of a Toys R Us Lost World ad from 1997.

Been going to ComicCon pretty much since it started, but this is the first year I went that I was really into Figuarts. Ended up getting all the exclusives. I’m not a super crazy collector of these, I just get what I like. But these were pretty nice pieces.

Saw this dude at the Dragon Ball Super: Beerus booth. #NYCC

DragonBall Super: Beerus - photo op displays… #NYCC

Disney Afternoon stuff from NECA (sorry, I know the lighting is terrible.) #NYCC

Marvel booth showing off some costumes from Doomsday #NYCC

Muppet Babies and Muppets from NECA. #NYCC

Here’s 4 things I saw in a 99 cents store today that I thought were… interesting. An old Simpsons Christmas decoration. A doll for a Marvel superhero I never heard of. A Scoob inflatable. Wakanda Forever stickers. Just thought it was funny how they made stickers for this movie.

Here’s a high-res scan of a TV Guide ad for Treehouse of Horror IV from 1993.

Spending this cold, rainy afternoon watching Mario Maker gameplay and flipping through a Nickelodeon Magazine from 1997. Pizza is on the way. 👌🏻

Cartoon Network airing black and white Looney Tunes in 2026?! Wow...

Tales from the Cryptkeeper trade ad (1994). They included “Live from the Crypt” here to push the franchise as a kid-friendly brand. Pretty forgotten today, but Live from the Crypt was an educational book series where the Cryptkeeper interviewed historical figures.

Here’s a high-res scan of Aladdin VHS ad from 1993.

Looking at some of these old Halloween costumes on eBay, and you know what? Beetlejuice totally would wear a shirt with his face and logo on it.

Probably one of my more obscure scans… here’s listings for some cake toppers from a 1984 Wilton catalog.

For no reason, here’s some high-res scans of a Best Buy newspaper circular from March 2001.

I kinda love that society has lost its mind and have these diners for plush food.

Oh wow, Coyote vs. Acme got an ad in Times Square. Good for them.

Kinda shocked to see so much Moomintroll stuff. He has like no presence in the US so if you never heard of him, that’s understandable. He’s a storybook character from Finland and is pretty popular in Japan. I remember seeing him on TV when visiting family in Italy as a kid.

High-res scan of Spider-Man The Animated Series ad (1995).

I don’t usually buy vinyls but man, I saw this in a new releases window display and I had to get it. A childhood favorite of mine. The presentation is really nice. They even have an update version of that classic cast art…

I had an hour to kill before meeting someone for lunch, so just to amuse myself I tried to find the stupidest item in the M&M store. And I came up with… A whisk with a red M&M on it.

Forgotten Island billboard meant to look like a boombox with stickers on it. Neat.

Here’s a high-res scan of a 1994 Target ad offering free X-Men Hero Caps with any purchase of a Kid’s Mutant Meal.
