I almost bought these socks just for the tag. Then I remembered that the camera in my pocket could enable me to look at the tag whenever I want.

'Magic Fun Shop' is a new photo book by Adam Wallacavage that documents the legendary, but sadly defunct, Philadelphia store. It's mostly photos of dangling rubber masks, but the shots of vintage prank packaging twist my bittersweet heart. thesecretheadquarters.bigcartel.com/product/magi...

I had a nagging feeling within me that I’ve seen this graphic before, and after racking through the deep recesses of my brain, I remembered where I saw it. I was so fond of the graphic myself that I snapped a picture of it. The pencil return box at Novelty Golf in Chicago. 💀

I found this clip art AGAIN! I wasn't even searching, but it popped up in the "Pagan Invasion: Halloween" video from 1990. This was my reward for watching a Halloween mix tape on VHS from @trashwitchh.bsky.social!

BREAKING: I spotted the clip art from this thrifted Halloween bucket on this old Topstone cape.
Another achievement for my resume.

Seen at a flea market.. this weird, spooky, coin-operated game. As a kid, I could not have resisted this.

I’m not sure why, but I find it comforting that Walmart has a freestanding display dedicated to one-dollar rubber snakes.

Laff in the Dark has a new article about my all-time favorite (long gone) dark ride, the Phantasmagoria of Tulsa, OK. It's full of construction photos I'd never seen! 😍 Here's the link: laffinthedark.com/articles/Bel...

Among my favorite finds of the year are these Halloween albums. They’re scarce in my area, yet I found all three within the span of a few weeks, in three different surrounding towns.
