Strong Mad as The Maxx

Happy Hallow-day with Homestar!

Eggs Tree! Eggs Tree! Read all about it! What happens when nighttime doesn’t come on Halloween? Go enjoy the wacky silliness with another Homestar Halloween episode entitled – Happy Hallow-Day. You’ll see Homestar as Teen Wolf, from the popular 80’s movie were Michael J. Fox played a werewolf. Homsar is dressed as Ed Grimley and Strong Bad as Father Guido Sarducci – both characters played on Saturday Night Live. But the piece de resistance is Strong Mad as The Maxx!

Whatever you dress up as for Halloween this year, just be safe and have a fun time! Don’t eat all the candy at once, it’s got to last you for awhile. At least make sure there’s plenty for breakfast the next morning. Happy Halloween everybody!

National Candy Corn Day

Indian Candy Corn is a confection popular at Halloween.

Did you know that October 30th is National Candy Corn Day? I enjoy this honey flavored Halloween treat – especially the Indian candy corn where the yellow is replaced with chocolate-flavored brown. Yum! Are there any other candy corn connoisseurs out there or are you a candy corn critic?

Monsters of the Movies Paintings

Drunken Carrot as Dracula art by Dan Goodsell.

Our good friend Dan Goodsell has created a themed paintings series of “Monster’s of the Movies” just in time for Halloween, and they’re superb! The paintings are of his Imaginary World characters as some of the big favorite movie monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman and the Invisible Man. They’re as creative as they are humorous. Great work Dan!

Smooky Ghost Story

The ghosts are in the room...

As a ghost, it’s important to know how many eyes you’ve got. This wonderfully entertaining Flash was done by a well known father and son team. I’d love to see more cartoons like this. Thanks Ben and Ben!

Halloween Hangman

Spooky themed, Flash hangman game.

Are you in the mood for a little Halloween Hangman? Do you find that if you’re good at hangman you’re also good at Wheel of Fortune? It’s the same game, but with a wheel. Do you remember when there was that big prize turntable and you could purchase junk from the different sections with the money you won?

Marvel Super Stamps in 2007

The U.S. Postal Service salutes stars from the world of Marvel Comics.

It looks like there’ll be some new Marvel stamps in 2007 from the United States Postal Office. I thought the DC stamps were cool, but these look awesome!

The 10 stamps, will arrive in July 2007, on a pane of 20 depict Captain America, Elektra, Iron Man, Silver Surfer, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Sub-Mariner, The Incredible Hulk, The Thing and Wolverine.

The other 10 stamps depict classic Marvel Comic book covers linked to the super heroes. Information about the artwork shown on each stamp appears on the back on the stamp pane.

I didn’t think Elektra was that popular of a character to deserve a stamp, let alone a (box office flop) movie. I might have picked Rogue or Mystique.

Hearts of Steel

Industrial Revolution Transformers by artist Guido Guidi.

Here’s more steampunk stuff for you, but this time it’s from the Transformers. I know this standalone miniseries came out a few months ago, but I just saw it at the comic shop and said wow! I mean, have you ever wondered what your favorite bots would look like if they existed in different eras? Well wonder no more, as you’ll see steam train Bumblebee being attacked by Decepticons disguised as tanks, trains and walking engines. So if this sounds cool, go pick up the Transformers: Evolutions Hearts of Steel comics now! Comic Shop Locator

Amityville Toaster

Make breakfast spooky from iLL WIll Press

What’s more horrific than an Amityville toaster? This funny Flash is NSFW with all the cursing, but it’s really silly. Jonathan Ian Mathers, the cartoonist, does a swell job making it short and funny. The only toaster horror story I have is when my Pop-tart was burnt and stuck to the inside of the toaster. Now I just eat them raw.

Spooky Sounds at Scar Stuff

A roundup of the spooky sounds posted so far on Scar Stuff.

Halloween is only a week away and Scar Stuff has made a great list of scary sounds, from their previous posts, which you can download. I really like the scary classic cartoon and TV stuff from The Fat Albert Kids, Casper the Friendly Ghost, The Munsters, and the cereal box monsters too. What a great collection of classic Halloween sounds – Thanks Scar Stuff!
