I remember liking the original TV movie starring Rick Springfield. I don't think I watched much of the series.

A bajillion years ago I had a vague idea for a story called White House of Horrors, where the President becomes a vampire, but I never developed it. I'll check this series out!

The Ghost of Jeff Pennington @jeffpennington.art · 12d

ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!

Happy Halloween from me and the General Mills cereal monsters! I painted these portraits two years ago now I think but I still love ‘em

Digital portrait painting of cereal mascot Boo Berry from the famous Halloween-themed cereal Boo Berry. He’s a cartoon ghost with a half-lidded gaze adjusting a red bow tie on his non-existent spectral neck while wearing a straw boater hat.

Digital portrait of famous cereal mascot Count Chocula from the Halloween themed cereal of the same name. He’s a vampire with a long face and a long crooked nose wearing a high collared cape and raising a single finger in exclamation. He also has two buck teeth and two high points in his quaffed hair.

Digital portrait of famous cereal mascot Franken Berry from the Halloween themed cereal of the same name. He is a big pink oafish looking monster wearing heavy studded metal goggles with various steam engine parts sticking out of his head. He’s pointing to himself with his index finger which happens to include a strawberry shaped fingernail.

Another old thing: five years ago I roughed out this little sequence of Magneto fighting X-men one by one, and I doubt I’ll ever get around to finishing it, but I still like it.
