MOARER HALLOWEENY CARDS! I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS ONE FOR A WHILE
1991 IMPEL TRADING CARD TREATS DRACULA
I ALREADY SHOWED OFF PETER CUSHING, CHRISTOPHER LEE AND CHENEY SENIOR AND JUNIOR, NOW IT'S TIME FOR BELA LUGOSI OR A REASONABLE FACSIMILE. I FRIGGIN LOVE BELA LUGOSI AND I ALREADY HAVE SEVERAL OF HIS CARDS. HE'S ONE OF MY FIRST NON SPORT SEARCHES EVERY TIME I GET ON COMC. THIS CARD IS FROM A SERIES OF HALLOWEEN CARD PACKS THAT CAME OUT IN 1991. INSTEAD OF CANDY, YOU COULD BUY A BAG OF 24 CARD PACKS TO GIVE AWAY TO THE KIDDOS. THERE WERE SIX DIFFERENT SUBJECTS: ARCHIE COMICS, INSPECTOR GADGET, MARVEL SUPERHEROES, NINTENDO, UNIVERSAL MONSTERS AND SOMETHING CALLED WIDGET. I FOUND A NINTENDO CARD AT THE FLEA MARKET ONCE A LONG TIME AGO AND WAS SAD WHEN I FOUND OUT THERE WERE ALSO UNIVERSAL MONSTERS CARDS AS I HAD NO IDEA WHERE I COULD FIND THEM. DUH, EVERYTHING'S ONLINE NOW. WHILE LOOKING FOR BELA CARDS I SEARCHED FOR DRACULA AND THE HALLOWEENIE CARD POPPED UP IN THE RESULTS. HOORAY! NOW TECHNICALLY THERE IS NO MENTION OF BELA LUGOSI ON THIS CARD BUT LOOK AT THE ILLUSTRATION. THAT'S TOTALLY BELA. CLOSE ENOUGH FOR ME AT LEAST. IT'S A PRETTY NEAT LOOKING SET, I KINDA WANT THAT LEGEND OF ZELDA CARD. THIS KIND OF THING DOESN'T GET MADE ANYMORE BUT YOU CAN FIND SIMILAR HALLOWEEN TREAT BAGS OF POKEMON PACKS THIS YEAR
I TRIED REALLY HARD TO FIND A GOOD CARD OF BORIS KARLOFF TO COMPLETE THE CLASSIC MONSTER ACTOR LINEUP BUT DIDN'T FIND ANY THAT WERE LESS THAN ABOUT THREE BUCKS AND I WAS BEING CHEAP. I NEED TO GET ONE NEXT TIME AND MAYBE ALSO LOOK FOR BASIL RATHBONE AND JOHN CARRADINE. I WONDER IF TOR JOHNSON HAS SOME TRADING CARDS? OMG I ALSO COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT VINCENT PRICE. THERE ARE TOO MANY HORROR MOVIE ACTORS! AT LEAST I ALREADY FOUND A PETER LORRE CARD A COUPLE YEARS AGO. HALLOWEEN IS ALMOST HERE SO ENJOY SOME SPOOKY MOVIES AND HAVE SOME FUN
