With Halloween comes trick or treating and one of my favorite candies to receive in my pumpkin bucket were the Universal Monster candy boxes. Not so much for the candy (as they were virtually flavorless) but for the now iconic box art. A posterized black and white illustration of a classic movie monster in front of brightly colored backgrounds sandwiched between "Monster" and "Candy". So simple, yet so satisfying. ⁣
⁣
Paying homage to those iconic Universal Monsters candy boxes, this release reimagines that artwork with modern day horror legends. ⁣
⁣
Series number four (4) in a planned series of five (5), this first four (4) card set showcases Ghostface from the Sceam franchise, Pinhead of Hellraiser fame, the vampire Kurt Barlow from 'Salems Lot and My Bloody Valentine's murderous miner, Harry Warden.⁣
⁣
There is also a "day one issue", fifth card of Harry Warden available with series four. This "Cupid's Heart" variant of the Harry Warden card conjures up imagery of romantic dances and flowery Valentine's cards. This card is ONLY available as a part of series four during the first 24 hours of the sale. After that 24 hours, the variant card will no longer be included with the four (4) card series. ⁣
⁣
Also going forward anyone who picks up all five (5) sets will receive a free bonus set of cards. This bonus set will feature alternate artwork that will only be available to those who purchase all five (5) sets. ⁣
⁣
Each card in the series will be secured in a custom frame, inside a penny sleeve sealed in a protective top-loader ready for display.

While these cards are professionally printed, they are assembled and cut by hand and as such, there will be ever so slight variances in the card dimensions and centering. They should be viewed as small batch, handmade, collectible art pieces.⁣
