Dino Drac’s Gloom Bags & Frightening Flats!
Okay guys, I have TWO count ‘em TWO surprise merch drops for ya today. (Well, “merch” doesn’t feel like the right word for what I do, but whatever, let’s roll with it.)
This is your limited-time chance to grab either Dino Drac’s GLOOM BAG or Dino Drac’s FRIGHTENING FLAT, or if you’re feeling extra spendy, feel free to buy both!
The GLOOM BAGS are toy-focused sacks of spooky collectibles from the ‘80s and ‘90s, and are $50 shipped.
The FRIGHTENING FLATS include a few high-value slices of eerie ephemera from the 1990s, and are $40 shipped.
Details on each are below. If you decide to order, ensure you’re clicking the button for the correct item you want! (Unless you want both, in which case, I guess just click everything?)
Let’s start with Dino Drac’s 2026 GLOOM BAG – a terrifyingly toy-focused collection of vintage monsters and mayhem. Cost is $50, including shipping. United States only!
Each GLOOM BAG inclues…
1) Two extremely rare packs of “Los Guerreros de la Basura” Basu-Razos (pogs) from the 1990s. From Spain, these are actually – get ready for it – TRASH BAG BUNCH pogs!
2) Super awesome McDonald’s Jack-o’-Lantern Ring, from the very early ‘80s. These unpleasant pumpkins were given away at the restaurants as a reward for children who chose clowns over kings.
3) Filmation Ghostbusters “Prime Evil” figure, from Yolanda in the 1980s. These were sold in Spain, and were never available in the States! The most-sought figure from the entire set!
4) Tube of Topps’s “Freddy’s Bubble Gum,” from 1989! Yes, this really happened! Keep in mind that the stickers on these can be a bit beat up, particularly on the caps. but the gum is still inside! Just DON’T EAT IT! It’s over 35 years old!
5) Random Super Monstruos figure, from Comansi in the early ‘90s. Another hit from Spain, this was a sprawling collection of specters with all sorts of weird characters. You’ll get one, picked at random! (Characters range from Phantom of the Opera to Mr. Hyde to Frankenstein to Cyclops and beyond – this collection had a lot of figures!)
6) Ultra-cute mini-sized Devil Bendy Figure, from Russ in the early ‘90s. These red rascals look pretty friendly, all things considered, but I still don’t know if you should trust them.
7) Absolutely ancient “Kong” Vending Machine Charm, probably from the early ‘80s, but possibly from the ‘70s. These largish plastic gorilla heads have a looped string attached, in case you wanted to decorate your rearview mirror with an old ape.
…and all of the above will be neatly packed into a reusable fabric pumpkin sack, AND I’ll even slide ya a mini-pack of Nerds Gummy Clusters!
Again, the price is $50, and given what it’d cost to buy all of this stuff separately, I’d say that’s a sweet deal! United States only. To purchase a GLOOM BAG, click the button below! Limited supply!
Thanks! Now let’s move onto the 2026 Frightening Flats!
Dino Drac’s FRIGHTENING FLATS are large, sturdy envelopes stuffed with just a few things, but they are really, REALLY good things! The cost on these is $40 shipped, and each one includes:
1) An official Pepsi / Frito-Lay MONSTER BASH sales brochure, never available to the general public, from 1992! This four-page (well, three and a back cover) brochure was part of a larger sales kit sent to stores to drum up interest in the famous Monster Bash campaign, where Pepsi, Doritos and Ruffles joined forces with the Universal Monsters! (“Vat… no dip?”)
The brochure features beautiful, framable artwork of Party Monster Frankenstein on the cover, some info on the promotion, and then a few glorious mockups of actual Monster Bash store displays – the “cardboard haunts” that littered grocery stores back in the early ‘90s.
Do keep in mind that the complete sales kits probably would have included additional loose pages stuffed inside. Here you’re getting the absolute best part of it. Rare as hell!!
2) A genuine 1994 Spooky World brochure, celebrating “America’s horror theme park!”
Even if you never visited Spooky World, you’ve probably heard of it. In the ‘90s, they were one of the country’s main haunts, and attracted big names like Tom Savini and Kane Hodder. In fact, they even released a whole VHS tape to show off their petrifying prowess!
These brochures include several full-color photos of their haunts and attractions, and they will zap you with nostalgia even if you’ve never heard of the place before today. Each comes with an original Spooky World coupon sheet, which was packed with the brochures way back when.
3) A sealed pack of Kool-Aid’s famous GHOUL-AID drink mix, from 1996! Its debut year! Needless to say, thirty-year-old Kool-Aid is NOT FOR CONSUMPTION, and you should consider this for collectible use only!
Ghoul-Aid is one of the totem items of my entire internet history, and I’m thrilled to be sharing these packets with you! You can make a strong argument that it’s the single best-looking packet in Kool-Aid history, with its gnarly fonts and that vampiric Kool-Aid Man. What a treasure!
There will probably be some bonus art floating around your envelope, too! Again, the cost is $40 shipped. United States only. Limited supply! To purchase one of Dino Drac’s FRIGHTENING FLATS, click the button below!
Thanks, all! Whether you pick the GLOOM BAG, the FRIGHTENING FLAT, or both, everything will ship this week!
I tend to ship fast, so please ensure that you’ve included the correct shipping address when you order! Enjoy the ghoulish goodies, everyone!
