31 Days of Toy Terror!





   When I started reviewing toys over at The Epic Review back in 2013 I wanted to celebrate Halloween in a big way so I devised 31 Days of Toy Terror, a series of one horror toy for each day in October. Sometimes the criteria for what I'm counting as a horror toy is a bit loose but it's one of my favorite things to do each year as I get a chance to look at a wide variety of action figures, including plenty of older ones. Here is all of the various Halloween stuff I've done over the past few years:
