2021’s Best Halloween Junk Food, Part 1!

It’s a banner year for Halloween junk food. I know I say that every year, but I really mean it this time. There’s just so much out there. What strikes me about this season is that while we’re getting big swings like Monster Mash cereal, we’re also getting tons of “little things�

I spent $92 at a horror convention.

I visited the New Jersey Horror Con in Atlantic City over the weekend. Specifically at the old Showboat hotel, where I used to bowl while my parents gambled. Good times as always! There’s nothing quite like seeing horror celebs and retired pro-wrestlers wander over AC’s patente
