EDIT: The Countdown entry for Monday is also up, featuring the fantastic Hovering Bat, a Halloween decoration that vibrates and makes its eyes light up whenever you clap at it. If you're just getting back after a weekend of whatever, don't forget to check the other entries recently posted. Or I'll choke you.
Big thanks to Randy for donating this one. I love it way too much. Here's a look at a Hallmark Halloween commercial from 1989, which may surprise some of you in its ability to remind us of what Halloweens were like back then. Not that they were anything too incredibly different, but at least for me, it's like pulling teeth to get anything more than surface interest from the media and retailers nowadays. We celebrate it because it's still on our calendars, but it just packs less and less spirit each year. Anyway, the commercial features some awesomely overexposed Halloween costumes from years past, not to mention a ripoff of Thing from The Addams Family. Get to it captain.

There were Transformers on your Top Ten Worst list that were totally justified, but two guys who should have made it were the Autobot Jumpstarters, Top Spin and Twin Twist.
I see that you have already catalogued them as a bummer in one article, but the list lets them off the hook.
I suppose that they don’t count officially as Transformers, because they are so horrid, but then I see Leader One counted among the most despicable Transformers.
Could it be that they are so monumentally lousy, you have blocked them from memory?
Love this site, man. I can’t believe you’re only 25.
