Didn't they make a horror movie about Christmas not long ago? Santa Claus was played by Bill Goldberg(the wrestler) and he was a maniacal psycho who had like rockets on his sleigh and all kinds of evil mean things. I'm not sure if he dies at the end or not. I only saw about 10 minutes of it and I thought I read somewhere it got one of the worst reviews of all time.

Btw...Count Chocula Rules!!

My local Kroger has finally put all the Halloween stuff out, including the candy. I probably won't buy any right away, though.

I love spiced cider throughout the fall and definitely associate the smell of mulling spices, including cinnamon, with autumn. However, it's going to have to get cooler before I want any hot drinks!

VenHelsing, you just touched on one of my "guilty" pleasures. I love Count Chocula and Frankenberry both. I eat them it right out of the box, because as much as I love those cerials, I LOATH to even look at milk. I also like Capin Crunch and Crunch Berries, too. Remember Quisp and Quake. I don't see those around any more, but I also love them. That honey flavored cerial really rocked.

You guys are seriously tempting me to buy a box of Count Chocula now. And the Reese's peanut butter pumpkins are out. Yay! I picked up a pack of those along with some a chocolate marshmallow pumpkin I picked up from Walgreens. Thanx for the head up RDM.
We're the farmer's scarecrows
We scare away the birds,
We keep the farmer's corn safe
Without any words.
But when Halloween comes
We jump out of the ground
And we scare the boys and girls
When they come walking 'round.

I just might go out and treat myself to a box of Count Chocula and Frankenberry.

I've been on the look out for the "monster cereals" but alas they don't seem to have hit my area. Once they do it's all about Booberry. Though I've never tried Frankenberry perhaps I'll pick up a box this year.

Booberry didn't seem to catch on. There's plenty of Count Choclula and Frankenberry in my neck of the woods.

Count Chocula always seems to be the most popular. Booberry is hard to find but the past two years I have seen a lot of it which makes me very happy. I love blueberries and cereal so it's a winning combo.

You guys think finding Boo Berry is hard? Try finding Yummy Mummy and Fruit Brute! Probably can't unless it's a box somebody had left over. Sure to be stale by now.

I was wondering if someone would bring them up Nevermore. I never had those when they were around so I don't really crave them. Boo Berry on the other hand...

Well, last night, my local grocer was all out of Count Chocula and Frankenberry, so I settled for a box of Crunch Berries.

Halloween is still trickling out here in the southwest. They still have Back-to-School out in most retail stores... so the big Halloween store displays aren't out yet... but it's coming! Soon!
