Ticketverse Trades #13: Halloween Skills

Article by Sean Wilkinson,
a.k.a. The Ticketmaster

I've had bad luck with doing Halloween specials in the past, but I've at least given it a shot. This year's shot is going pretty well, as I have already watched and written reviews for the original Jeepers Creepers trilogy, and begun watching the Reborn reboot. So as a lead-up, I thought I'd do a chronological link list of all my past Halloween special efforts.
Fittingly, this is the thirteenth issue of Ticketverse Trades. So like and comment down below, step on a crack, break a mirror, spill the salt..., because this list is about to begin!

Countdown to Hallows Eve (Halloween 2015) was not just a Halloween countdown, it was a countdown to my flagship series' one hundredth issue.

Homecoming and Quick Or Treat (Halloween 2017) was a case of me finding my footing after losing a job and learning that all of my favorite brick and mortar media sources had died. I had focused away from movies and into comic books (the Grimm Fairy Tales Retrospective) and critiques of my own past writings (New Piece Offerings), with a few old reviews (Ticket Stubs/Ticketverse Throwbacks) peppered in. But when a new Marvel movie came out, I had to either see it in theaters or buy it for my collection. And I had a bunch of old Spider-Man reviews kicking around, which...spiders are Halloween things, right?
I already did a Ticketverse Trades post of these, but here they are:

More burnout, a shift in focus to anime, and the beginning of an attempt at a second college degree later, and we jump three years to the belated Critters special (Halloween in November 2020):

And finally, Chucky (Halloween 2021):

Stay Tuned for Monday's Just the Ticket on Jeepers Creepers, and have a Happy Halloween!

Ticketmaster,
Out.

Stay Tuned #55: Goosebumps (Disney+ Season One)

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Ticketmaster I'm confused, Ticketholders. And disappointed in the lack of originality in visual media over the past few years. On top of the Fear Street trilogy and the TV series I'm reviewing today, I've also been watching the first season of Yellowjackets on Netflix because Paramount+ (like a broken floor scrubber) has a lot of buffering issues. All three are either set in or flash back to the 90s, and include a lot of the same songs and relationship dynamics (troubled same-sex couple, love triangle, toxic relationship, etc.). So the plot points and characters start to bleed together (heh; horror puns...) after awhile. But that doesn't make them bad products on their own merits. By my own actions, my merits (viewer analytics) have diminished significantly this month, so please remember to  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, comment your thoughts on the Goosebumps reboot at the bottom of this post, help out my

Zenescope - Omnibusted #26: Grimm Fairy Tales TPB Volume 10

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Omnibuster I know that this is the third of these I've done in a row, but I have an established pattern to adhere to, so let's get Omnibusted ...again! As suggested by  Volume Nine , the Grimm Fairy Tales  issues contained in the Volume Ten Trade Paperback will continue to follow the journey of Sela and her companions through Myst. According to the  Zenescope Entertainment Wiki Chronological Reading Order , Volume Ten is also the last before Zenescope's first two big event series ( Myths & Legends  and  The Dream Eater Saga ). And Volume Ten marks the first time since  GFT #49  that an issue (or in this case, an entire Volume of issues) has gone untitled on the credits page. Speaking of The Dream Eater Saga , the zero issue of that series was featured as the short story for Volume Ten, as opposed to past Volumes having original short stories (or in one case so far, a Swimsuit Special) that added lore to the series. But because I wou

Dragon Blog Daima #23: Chatty

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Animeister My plan to record footage of me playing the new Vampire Survivors ' Ode to Castlevania DLC didn't pan out the way I wanted (because the update is massive -  or as MasakoX once pronounced it, which feels like a more appropriate expression, "ma- hoo -sive" - and I don't have the time, desire, or phone memory to devote to entire days of recording). But I'm still enjoying the experience of unlocking the new characters (there's a guy with a grenade launcher! A whip that explodes!), discovering the new quality of life changes (there's a map zoom now!), and exploring the environment (Dracula's castle! Hidden forest clearings! Giant bosses! Metroid vania -style progression unlocks! Platforming in a horde survival roguelike‽). And I don't think I'm even halfway done yet! So if you love playing Castlevania (or watching people on the internet play Castlevania ), give Vampire Survivors and the Ode t
