The first tentative steps into madness.

Day 1 of the Count­down to Hal­loween is already behind us! Here’s a bunch of Hal­loween stuff that caught my eye around The League yes­ter­day, in no par­tic­u­lar order:

• Good­will Hunt­ing 4 Geeks –  A Word on Candy Corn
• Branded in the 80s –  31 Days of Mon­sters, Day 1: Slimer’s com­ing to get you!
• Calvin’s Cana­dian Cave of Cool — Theme of the Day: Pump­kins!
• Team Hel­lions — Godzilla and Gam­era = BFFs
• Michael May’s Adven­ture Blog — 31 Days of Drac­ula: Max Shreck (1922)
• Revenge from the Cos­mic Ark — Bend-ems Uni­ver­sal Mon­sters Drac­ula
• Cool & Col­lected — Spring­bok House on Haunted Hill Puz­zle
• Of Fly­ing Mon­keys and Ewoks, Oh My! — Scare Wars!
• AEIOU and Some­times Why — Mon­ster Minigolf
• Tupa’s Trea­sures — 31 Days of Hal­loween Art #1: Zom­bie Hulk

P.S. — 30 Days ‘Til Halloween

They chopped off his head with his own sword.
