Over the past few years, I’ve introduced “The Ghouls Collection” during “Art In The Barn.” The first year, I did it pretty much just for my own amusement. Why not make some whimsical Halloween decorations just for the fun of it? And to my surprise, the were received VERY well my my wonderful customers! The first year, I started with Pumpkins, Skulls and Frankensteins.

Then of course, the questions started… “What character are you adding next year?”
So the following year, I added a Vampire into the monster mix.

Last year kind of got away from me. I didn’t have enough time and I didn’t think it would really matter if I didn’t have a new Monster. Well it did. I got a lot of questions from people who were looking to add another Monster to their collection. I apologized for skipping a year… and learned from that experience.

Limited Quantities Available!!!
I will be bringing all of these Monsters I have left in stock to “Art In The Barn.”.
But going forward, I’m thinking that some of these characters might be “RETIRED” from the collection to make room for the new ones. So if you’re looking to fill out your collection, or start a new Ghoul addiction… now’s the time. Before they disappear back into the crypt!

So this year, there will definitely be a new Monster for “The Ghouls Collection.”
What will it be?… well, I’m keeping it “under wraps” for just a few more days!

I have been looking every day for the reveal. I can’t wait to see what you came up with. I laughed when I saw that you are not divulging your creation just yet. The suspense is so appropriate for a Halloween item. Well played Mr. Jackson.

Sounds like it might be a “mummy”. I hope so.
