Halloween’s coming!

Posted on October 18, 2019 by The Vintage Toy Advertiser

Swamp Thing movie. US. 1982

Not long now, dear readers, as TVTA crawls from its editorial swamp in time for one of its favourite events of the year… Halloween! And this year I have something special in store… something a bit different than my usual fare of gruesome printed matter…

Clues:

They may only be short, but they’re long on scares… Something fiendish to digest before falling asleep… Grisly brush strokes… Thirteen (unlucky for some?)… Fifty (50-50 chance of survival?)

All will be revealed on All Hallows’ Eve!

Samhain is coming! 😈💀👻🎃🎃🎃

Looking forward to your ‘reveal’ – am in dire need of respite from the real horrors of Brexit!

  You’re absolutely right, Wibi. The horror show being presented by the UK govt and extreme right wingers is truly stomach churning.
