What kind of horror things did you have when you were a kid?<br />Which I knew what comic these stickers appeared in,maybe an issue will turn up on ebay sometime.<br />Wow a whole box of Horror Bags,lucky you. Were there an offer on the bags you had? I don't think the stickers would of come from Horror Bags themselves but I guess it could be possible, certainly don't think they were something that you had to send away for though.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04109524957979094787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36507856.post-55422231304850852062011-12-21T16:42:21.863+00:002011-12-21T16:42:21.863+00:00Hi Paul

I've been to this website many many times but never realised it was run by a fellow forum member.<br />I had so much horror stuff as a kid!<br />As I've said on the forum I definitely had a set of these stickers and although I had my fair share of comics 2000ad was my only regular one, although I didn't start getting that until '82.<br />The one thing I did have however was once my parents bought me and my sister a whole box of horror bags from the wholesalers, could it have come with sticker???paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286417684063976848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36507856.post-24964880909066748732011-11-13T22:39:23.434+00:002011-11-13T22:39:23.434+00:00Thanks John.

Yeah I agree with Horror bag spin off merchandise that they did seem to have fun and imagination with their promotions and like with these more subtle stickers, a great idea that probally worked quite well.<br /><br />Smiths must of sold an Incredible amount of Horror Bags over the years with a lot because of their promotions, which were all very imaginative and had a little more class that many mail away items in the food promotions over the years.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04109524957979094787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36507856.post-61007373661965244162011-07-22T23:03:16.021+00:002011-07-22T23:03:16.021+00:00Yet another intriguing discovery there Paul!
I...Yet another intriguing discovery there Paul!<br /><br />I'm inclined to guess at Horror Bags being the source too. Corporations are generally more inclined to market their wares to death (so to speak) these days.<br /><br />Whereas with Horror Bags' spin-off products there seemed to be a real sense of innovation and fun: those who came up with the concepts really let their creative hair down and the marketing aspect was sometimes quite subtle.<br /><br />Then again, I suppose that in the case of their various board games etc kids had already bought more than their usual share of crisps, to enclose x number of empty packets with their order!John M.

I know how you felt too about not just parents but others too thinking it was weird to like this sort of stuff. I find it so fasinating and I also find that many people that are not into this sort of stuff always seem to enjoy talking about it.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04109524957979094787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36507856.post-91581117305780546872011-05-25T10:22:51.745+00:002011-05-25T10:22:51.745+00:00Thanks for the blog, Paul - it's brilliant, an...Thanks for the blog, Paul - it's brilliant, and filled with my memories too.<br />I had assumed (because parents told me) that I was weird for loving all this spooky monstrous glowing stuff... now I know it was a sub-culture.<br />Serious fangs for the memories!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
