I had this monster glow-in-the-dark sticker sent to me via email, they are not sure where they actually got it from. He said that it may have been something from 'Horror Bags' and that there were quite a few others in the set. Can anyone shed any light on this or maybe you have some yourself that you could send to The Cobbwebbed room.
Thanks to Steven for the scan.

Paul.. darren here.. check DYR..we think its the special sticker "for your den" in the 21 Horrid Shivers sticker set ;)
HB bags currently for sale on ebay
I had those! Been googling for ages, but only find this by accident!
They were called "Spookies"... and yes they glowed in the dark.
Would love to see them all again.
Thanks Darren, would love to get a set of these stickers.
Hi, thank you for letting us know what the stickers were called. Can you remember what the other stickers were of? Certyainly would be nice to see a photo of the full set.
As far as I remember, all the Spookies stickers were like the one you show - artist drawn, but not necessarily of any identifiable character.
They were sold from a sheet in a newsagents, maybe four by five - so many different designs (like the vinyl Space Faces).
I had two or three, and can remember what my favourite looked like, but am damned if I could describe it to you!
The glow paint was probably the whole of the paper, with thick black paint printed over to reveal the monster details.
Further to my previous... here's a (claimed) whole set of Spookies (pic nabbed from an eBay auction): https://ibb.co/fUP2Qb
Clearly, I was wrong to suggest there were no identifiable characters :-)
Oh. me again...
I'd say these pre-dated the Marvel Topps stickers I had, so would estimate that I had these in 1974-5 (aged 7!)
Another set for sale, still current as of Oct 2017.
You don't see something for forty years... then two sets turn up!
