Spooky season is upon us and Figure Friday is not immune to it’s chilling charms. Aside from Halloween being an important day to me for a myriad of reasons, it’s just fun. This year I’ve stacked the deck and I have some seasonal events cooking for each weekend in October and the best way to kick that off is with a 31 Days of Horror Figure Friday column.

Transformers ReAction Figure Optimus Prime (Halloween)
Horrifying? Maybe if you’re a stickler for Transformers canon because well actually Optimus Prime never appeared in this orange & black configuration in the entirety of the Generation One cartoon or any of its associated media. To that I say…shut up, nerd.
This is a fun variant from Super7’s ReAction line of retro-inspired figures and I’m all for it. Check the blurb:
On Halloween, Optimus Prime doesn’t say “trick-or-treat!”- he surely says “TRUCK-or-treat!” This 3.75” scale, articulated Transformers ReAction Figure of Optimus Prime depicts the Autobots leader looking festive for Halloween in an orange, yellow, and black colorway with color-coordinated Ion Blaster accessory. Not to sound (candy) corny, but this Transformers ReAction Figure will be a treat you don’t need to be tricked into adding to your collection!
Perfection. No notes.
Halloween III: Season of the Witch Limited Edition Candy Pail
Halloween III: Season of the Witch is the best Halloween movie and I will take no questions on this. I think it would have been cool for the Halloween series of movies to continue in name only, free of Michael Myers for the last 40-plus years. At least Halloween (2018) and Halloween Kills were good. Bonus points are awarded for Kills having that kick ass Ghost song on its soundtrack.
Trick or Treat Studios has some truly spectacular Season of the Witch merch this year, so of course they sold out right away.
Check out the description:
Get ready for trick or treating with a Universal Studios officially licensed Halloween III: Season of the Witch candy pail. Crafted from durable blow mold plastic, this 9″ tall candy pail brings the classic horror icon to life in retro style. This candy pail features painted details and a flexible plastic handle making it perfect for trick or treating.
Had I known these were going to sell out so fast, I’d have been quicker on the draw to order myself the full set. The blow mold plastic has a decidedly vintage appeal without the hefty price tag that usually comes along with it. The Witch, Skull, and Pumpkin are all represented in this set and if you’re lucky enough to snag a set…do it!
Halloween Ends Corey’s Scarecrow Mask
In the interest of equal time, now you can own a mask from the new worst third movie in the Halloween franchise.
The movie started and ended well, I’ll give it that much and that’s about it. At least it’s finally over, right?
