WACKY POSTCARDS - EARLY HALLOWEEN TREAT - REJECTED CONCEPTS - AAAAAGGH!!!
« on: October 31, 2011, 07:36:53 AM »
Greetings ghouls and ghosts,

I thought I'd share some mostly rejected Halloween postcard concepts to get everyone in the spirit:


Heathbar concept. Guess it was a wee bit too scary (or strange?)...


The teeth tweet!


Oops! I forgot to stick to candy concepts!


An alternative version of the alltoads concept. At one point, we considered painting this as another bonus card!


Who doesn't love vampires...


or spiders?!!!

Hope you enjoy 'em! I'm not sure what I'm going to do with these, but if anyone's interested, send me a PM and I'll consider your offer. Otherwise, it's back into the vault of horror (my closet)!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, FOLKS!

Thanks for sharing, Neil!  I like all of them for different reasons, but Sucker's is my favorite.  Not sure why that one didn't make it as I think it would be a highlight of the set. 

As for what to do with them, why not put them on ebay?  I would think you'd do pretty well.

Thanks for posting those, Neil.  Love 'em all.  They would make great Wacky Packages.  Would love to see them painted up.

Sounds pretty Wacky to me..  :D  I love the vampire on Suckers too.  Of course the Grim Reaper on Death is fantastic too.  These are sooo impressive!

I hate to say it, but these are WAY WAY WAY better than the postcards for Halloween 2011. Hell these blow away everything.

Suckers is my favorite, but those are all great Wackys!  Death would have worked really well in the Halloween set.

Finally had a chance to catch up on this thread. These are totally awesome! Love the toads peeking out of the Altoads and that Suckers Grave Jelly is so damn cool, they better use that one in some upcoming series otherwise I don't know what the hell their thinking. The gag and product tie in so good together it can easily be a classic. They are all fantastic Neil. Now, off to read the other posts....

You can get started now for release on Halloween 2013. It has a nice ring to it.
