| 1422 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Fulton4V I personally have always held Super Powers as the high standard for 80's action figures. From the sculpts, to the box art to the sheer number of characters, it was a beautiful line of toys. I still have my Superman, Batman, Robin, Aquaman and Lex Luthor! | The Mini & The Mighty | Oct 13, 2014 |  |
| 1421 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @pikachulover That's crazy. All those trips to the Halloween Haunt, I thought for sure you would have had some sort of annual pass to Movieland Wax Museum. Chupacapra by the train tracks sounds like a great legend. Were there any goats there for him to snack on or just McNuggets? @NLogan I only know the Marvel comics version of Wendigo who fought the Hulk (and Wolverine in his first appearance), I'll have to check out the original version. My favorite was always "The Ghost with the Bloody Fingers". Nice list of wax memories, I remember being impressed that Michael Jackson had a whole room devoted to himself with a figure in his "Bad" outfit and they played his music videos from that album on a loop. | Scary Stories from the Schoolyard | Oct 13, 2014 | |
| 1420 | Article | pikachulover | I kinda regret I never went to the Movieland Wax Museum. In school I remember stories about Bloody Mary and the Chupacabra. When I was told about what she really was it was way scary. The kids at school used to say they would see the Chupacabra at the train tracks by the local McDonalds. | Scary Stories from the Schoolyard | Oct 13, 2014 | |
| 1419 | Article | NLogan | Scary stories to tell in the dark are the best. My favorite was the wendigo. You need to track down the full length story by algernon blackwood. Teddy Roosevelt also wrote one about the wendigo. Scary stories were an excellent beginning for kids to look at ghost stories from literature that was nearly a century old. I went to the Hollywood wax museum around 1993. I remember there being exhibits for Elvira, Norman Bates from psycho, the crew of the original star trek enterprise, Clint Eastwood, Tom selleck from magnum P.I., red Skelton, laurel and hardy, snd Marilyn Monroe. | Scary Stories from the Schoolyard | Oct 13, 2014 | |
| 1418 | Article | Fulton4V | I was at Knotts one time while visiting my aunt, uncle and cousins and they took us there. It was a very nice park and I wish I could have been there for the scary farm festival. Nice article. | Haunting Memories | Oct 10, 2014 | |
| 1417 | Article | pikachulover | The 4Kids block started the year I started college. So that was like a ceremonial ushering in of things. I don't know some of the 4Kids shows were watchable. I really liked the Winx Club, Fighting Foodons, Kirby, and Dinosaur King. ABC ran some decent cartoons for a few years in the early 2000s like Filmore. Sometimes when I'm feeling nostalgic I watch old Saturday morning cartoon commercial blocks on youtube. Sometimes I use them for article research. | R.I.P.

| 1416 | Article | pikachulover | @Hoju I remember the times I went to Elvira she was set up near the bumper cars. Her merchandise would be for sale after the show. It was mostly makeup. Too bad about that ride. I heard it had to be closed down because the roof caved in. The park should really do something with it. Even if they have to knock it down. It's in a good location and it has a lot of potential. They could expand the arcade or put a store there or something. | Haunting Memories | Oct 10, 2014 | |
| 1415 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Good stuff, Mike. It's crazy that the syndicated cartoons in the morning and afternoons co-existed for so long with the Saturday Morning cartoon block, but I suppose this was inevitable. That said, you hit on some of my favorites: Beetlejuice, Camp Candy and those Sunkist commercials are instant nostalgia for me. As for some of the others, I have a Hammerman VHS tape packed away somewhere (yes, it's terrible) and I bought the complete series of Hey Vern, It's Ernest for $5 at Wal-Mart a while back, I like to put it on while I'm cleaning the house on Saturday mornings. | R.I.P.

| 1414 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I totally forgot that Elvira used to do a show at the Halloween Haunt! I remember going to Knott's one year while they were transforming it to Knott's Scary Farm and the workers setting-up the stage near the Mine Car ride said it was because Elvira was coming for the Haunt. Then you had to go and mention Kingdom of the Dinosaurs (sniff) that was the only reason I went to Knott's back in the day. I loved the animatronic scientist narrator, "YOU"RE GOING BACK IN TIME!" | Haunting Memories | Oct 09, 2014 | |
| 1413 | Article | Vaporman87 | I'd be interested in seeing them if you get the chance. Post them in the Halloween Nostalgia and More thread, if you ever feel inclined to. :) | Haunting Memories | Oct 09, 2014 | |
