| 4636 | Article | NLogan | @vaporman87 you are welcome sir! @vkimo unfortunately there aren't many photos of the yard decorations growing up. There are plenty of my dad's efforts as the years went on and we had already left home (over the top and cheesy), and if you mean decorations of my own house well... The truth is I don't decorate overmuch now because my neighborhood doesn't receive a lot of trick-or-treaters. I live on a hill on a dead end that ends in a circle. No one wants to hike the hill and steps for every house. We get like 20 max each year. I put out tombstones, carved pumpkins, and metal pumpkin lights each year. One year I did decorate my mother in laws' porch with an elaborate mini haunted house with dungeon corridor I spray painted on cardboard with window openings to jump out and scare people with, skulls, a cauldron with dry ice mist near the candy bowl for those who made it, chains and manacles hanging from the walls, etc. Somehow no photos except one were taken. Me popping out to yell Happy Halloween in a Pennywise voice and I didn't even paint the inside of the window shutters. My boys are getting old and may want to party instead of trick or treat. There may be some decorating in the future. However my twin brother just had a baby girl necessitating another decade of trick or treating. <img src="/images/postImages/1540333060Halloween2005boo.gif"> <img src="/images/postImages/1540333224October 30, 2009 085.jpg" width="285" height="213"> <img src="/images/postImages/1540333360Oct 29, 2011 (62).JPG" width="326" height="431"> | Oct 23, 2018 |  | |
| 4654 | Article | sturm316 | I remember you posting a similar article on Retrojunk years ago. I also grew up in the Salt Lake area (Murray) and have many similar memories, including the March of Dimes Haunted House on State Street in the old Murray Laundry. I've long been looking for someone who has pictures of it, both with the monsters painted on the front and the later skull entry version. | NLogan's Retro Halloween Anticipation | Nov 01, 2018 | |
| 4658 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I was saving this to get me over the post Halloween blues and it did the trick...or treat. We had that Peck Skull from 1982 growing up! I love tale of your Dad teaching you how to fake people out and scare them. I used to do the same thing when I was character at Disneyland, I called it "Playing Statue". Here's to more years of fun trick or treating with your niece. | NLogan's Retro Halloween Anticipation | Nov 04, 2018 | |
| 4660 | Article | NLogan | @sturm you and me both buddy. If you ever find any pictures I definitely want to see them. @the post Halloween blues have settled in here. But I am staving them off by making a Beast costume for the Beauty and the Beast play at my sons' school. That and eating their candy. | NLogan's Retro Halloween Anticipation | Nov 05, 2018 | |
| 4670 | Article | Superman | Great article. It was oozing with Halloween nostalgia. I enjoyed reading about your Halloween traditions. Rocky Point sounds like it was a very cool location. I'd love to visit somewhere like that one day. | NLogan's Retro Halloween Anticipation | Nov 15, 2018 | |
| 3680 | Article | OldSchool80s | Nice piece that I could relate to quite a bit. I have always been partial to Marvel as well, but at the same time have never been anti-DC. I liked Super Friends and the JLA. I liked the old Batman TV show and then the Tim Burton Batman of 1989. But Marvel has always been my true love. The Avengers have always been my favorite and I love what they have done with them in movies now. I could go on and on with my own memories of growing up with Marvel, but I will just end it with Excelsior. | Make Mine Marvel 1 | Jan 13, 2017 | |
| 3681 | Article | NLogan | Thanks Old School! I am much like you and also liked most of the things you mentioned. This article is part of a 6 part series. In the sixth part I get around to the non-marvel stuff. | Make Mine Marvel 1 | Jan 13, 2017 | |
| 3702 | Article | Vaporman87 | Man it's good to get this informative and entertaining series back on the web. I'm going to have to peruse all these once more because there is so much here, I know I missed something. | Make Mine Marvel 2 | Jan 29, 2017 | |
| 3712 | Article | jkatz | Believe it or not, that cgi spiderman logo is one of my earliest memories. They were still showing Muppet Babies back in the early 90s and being a wee ankle biter I would watch it without having any idea who (or what) that creepy-looking thing at the end credits was! | Make Mine Marvel 2 | Jan 30, 2017 | |
| 3826 | Article | Hoju Koolander | So many memories connected to this stuff. I used to see the manuals and game boxes for the Marvel role playing game at the hobby shop where I would purchase my Marvel Universe trading cards. I also had that Wolverine poster and it has defined the character for me all these years. That's what we needed Hugh Jackman to be decked out in, at least for one film. My friends and I started our own comic book company in 6th grade, hoping to cash in on the 90s comic book boom, with all original characters, sadly our fledgling line never made I past the debut issues (or my friend's bedroom). Pryde of The X-Men was always a welcome sight coming after other Marvel produced cartoons like RoboCop and Dino-Riders on Sunday mornings. I have a later issue of Marvel Age that promotes a graphic novel they produced using animation stills from that pilot episode, after the series didn't get picked up. Of course no retro arcade would be complete without a double X-Men cabinet, Colossus was always my guy. | Make Mine Marvel 5 | Apr 04, 2017 | |
