Halloween Vince's dark delights!: November 2024

Who ya gonna call?

As part of Folkestone Old High Street's halloween activities...

Tuesday 19th November 2025

Another belated post... I had the day off on Halloween and decided to go to Whitstable for the day to visit the new display dedicated to Peter Cushing in the local museum.The exhibition is open until September 2025 and well worth a visit. It takes up about a third of the museum and is the biggest display of Peter Cushing ephemera that I can remember since the early 2000s. Also, for this exhibition, there are a couple of newly published books worth picking up, and for those with less to spend some postcards.

And on the way from my car to the high street, I passed a house that had gone to won with its decorations.

Halloween Lego

On the way to the airport to go to Japan, there was a Lego shop in Duty Free at Gatwick. So below are a couple of photos. The Nightmare Before Christmas set they only had as a display model and were awaiting stock; but they did have the Hocus Pocus set and a free halloween pumpkin if you spent over a certain amount. And whereas it's not Halloween themed, the Titanic was impressive.

A more couple of Japanese halloween photos

Here are a couple more images from my recent Japan trip. The sign on the lampost was simply advertising a local halloween event.

Then in the local Family Mart convenience store there were a couple of Snoopy halloween gifts. To be honest, although I am a Snoopy fan, I didn't like the white & and orange colouring on Snoopy and thought both items were overpriced for what they were.

The hotel where we stayed also had a couple of decorations just inside their front door.

The final two photos are adverts, one on the side of a coffee shop and the other advertising a beer.

Halloween in Japan 2024

This year I've been a bit remiss at posting photos of Halloween goodies found in local shops, as I have been away on holiday in Tokyo. So here are some photos of the sweets and snacks found on my travels.
