Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees is the Harvey winner for Best Book of the Year! It's a great honor among comics. And, then it gets much much weirder for this true crime, killer bear story.
Yes, our favorite adorable serial killer, Samantha Strong is taking on DC Comics superheroes and villains and randomly enough possibly Sub-Zero. In an upcoming comic arc called DC K.O. she and other characters from across other realities are going to beat each other up. What's really strange is Samantha Strong is not even owned by the WB, she's from comic company IDW. And, most of the other fighters aren't adorable animals.Monday, October 13, 2025

Review: Elvira’s Cookbook from Hell — A Devilishly Delicious Feast of Camp and Cuisine
By Eric Harris

Elvira, the girl with the enormous... flair for frightful feasts, has conjured up a devilishly delightful cookbook that's sure to haunt your kitchen in the best way possible. In Elvira's Cookbook from Hell: Sexy, Spooky SoirĂ©es and Celebrations for Every Occasion, Cassandra Peterson channels her iconic alter ego to serve up a campy cauldron of culinary chaos that's as fun as it is fabulous. This isn't your grandma's recipe book—unless your grandma hosts horror movie marathons and spikes her punch with a wink and a cackle. It's a playful plunge into gothic gastronomy, perfect for anyone looking to add a dash of macabre magic to their gatherings.

What makes this cookbook a graveyard smash? For starters, it's a team effort worthy of a Hollywood horror production. Peterson credits no fewer than 14 collaborators—from photographers and food stylists to prop masters and recipe developers—who've helped bring her spooky vision to life. The result? 72 mouthwatering recipes spanning food, alcoholic beverages, and non-alcoholic sips, plus 16 clever crafts and decorations to set the scene. We're talking spiked napkin holders (a cheeky nod to her pooch Gonk from the 1988 cult classic Elvira: Mistress of the Dark), a coffin-shaped serving tray that'll have guests dying for seconds, wineglass bug charms crafted from enameled plastic critters, and "smoke"-spewing pumpkins using dry ice for that eerie fog effect. Even your furry friends get in on the fun with "Gonk’s Bone AppĂ©tit," a batch of dog treats that'll have tails wagging from beyond the grave. Ugh, gag me with a spoon—these ideas are so wickedly clever and pun-tastic, they don't require exotic ingredients or cursed cookware, making them ideal for novice necromancers in the kitchen.

If you only have room for one Halloween cookbook in your crypt, make it Elvira’s. Elvira, Mistress of the Dark—your hostess with the most-ess, and the gal with the enormous... love for the macabre—serves up frightful fun on every page. Out now and available wherever books are sold, this cookbook is a must-have for fans of spooky style and campy cuisine. As Elvira herself would say: “Unpleasant dreams!”

Halloween Hype: Universal Commercial, Halloween Music, Boo Buckets & Hallmark's Haul Out the Halloween
Universal's Halloween Horror Nights 2025 commercial goes hard this year.
George Streicher – MUSIC FOR HALLOWEEN NIGHT is perfect for background music for any Halloween party when you want to chat and drink but still get some chills. A fictionalized soundtrack of orchestral sounds from your favorite non-existing horror movies from the past. No lyrics, just easy spooky beats. If you can find it online, yes, it's on Spotify, and set it to play on loop at your Halloween get-together your golden.
Crazy Lixx -Thrill Of The Bite just dropped this year. If you want some thing a little more adult and glam band than you have Crazy Lixx's Thrill Of The Bite that's into horror and being thirsty for not just blood, but anything with two legs. Horny Halloween music perfect for any adult party. Don't worry, the lyrics will probably pass by any kiddos, just like any rock band's normal dirty lyrics.
McDonald’s Boo Buckets are back October 21st with two new additions, Zombie and Cat.
The Monster Munchie Meal is back at Jack in the Box and they have a spooky color changing cup for purchase.
Burger King also has a Monster Menu
- Jack-O-Lantern Whopper – The iconic flame-grilled Whopper, stacked with American cheese, bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, pickles, ketchup, and mayo, on a striking Jack O’ Lantern orange bun topped with black sesame seeds that gets its festive hue from natural spice.
- Vampire Nuggets – Crispy chicken nuggets shaped like vampire fangs and bats served in a carton designed as a coffin, perfect for dipping and sharing with your coven. These fang-tastic treats are available as part of the King Jr. Meal or a la carte.
- Mummy Mozzarella Fries – Crispy mozzarella sticks “wrapped” in golden breading, paired with a marinara dipping sauce and served in a special limited-edition mummy-themed box.
- Franken-Candy Sundae – Creamy vanilla soft serve topped with a franken-mix of OREO cookie crumbles, purple franken-candy syrup, and purple and green popping candy, stitching together one electrifyingly sweet dessert.
Hallmark is making their first romantic nonsense film for Halloween with their all-star X-Mas actress Lacey Chabert. October 11th marks the release of Haul Out the Halloween. It looks, beyond basic for the Halloween fan, but of note it's a reunion of actors Kimberly J. Brown and Daniel Kountz, who you might remember from Halloweentown, btw, they're married in real life.
Synopsis: New, Halloween-obsessed neighbors inspire residents of Evergreen Lane to haul out their spookiest costumes and décor to become EverSCREAM Lane.
