Hello, beautiful people from Read.cash!
Today the month of October is over, so Happy Halloween for those of you who are celebrating it. Here in Venezuela, it isn't celebrated. I don't remember ever having celebrated it when I was a child. But in recent years, thanks to advertising and merchandising, many stores sell lots of allegorical objects for Halloween and costumes, so some thematic parties are made customary among young people and in some places children wear costumes and go out to do the trick or treating.
But speaking of creepy and horror things, yesterday I was doing some house chores and I had to dust off my husband's collection of terror dolls.
Horror movies aren't my favorites. But my husband loves them and his collections of dolls are already a classic and I thought it could be fun to show them.
If you like the terror genre, surely you recognize them all. And although I don't like some of the movies, the dolls seem pretty cool to me. The collection already has some years. My husband bought them all in the 90s.
In his collection, there is Jason from Friday the 13th, the character of one of the bloodiest movies and that I couldn't finish watching, Leatherface from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. My husband's favorite, Ash from The Evil Dead. Norman Bates from Psycho, Hitchcock's classic horror movie, based on the novel of the same name by Robert Bloch. Chucky from Child's Play. And Chucky and Tiffany from Bride of Chucky. Tiffany is my favorite of the collection, and the movie, although it isn't my favorite genre, seemed to me, more than terrifying quite funny.
Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street, this movie I remember giving me nightmares when I saw the first in the series. Michael Myers from Halloween. In the collection, he also has Edward Scissorhands, which isn't a horror movie. On the contrary, it's a movie of fantasy and romance which by the way I love, and it's one of my favorites by Tim Burton.
In my photo gallery, I found this photo of the Chuckies and Tiffany from a few years ago. In it, the Chuckies hadn't started to lose their hair, hehe. They have so many years, that one is going bald and the other seems to have made a perm in his hair and have combed an afro.
Collecting could be a fun hobby. I remember when we were children, my sister used to collect smurfs figures, and recently, I found out that my aunt had them saved. And I showed some of them in Noise.
And googling for information on the weirdest collections, I came across a really weird one. A woman in Germany who collects toilet paper rolls. She would have been a hero at the time when basic products were scarce in Venezuela, and one of the most difficult to get and for which people paid a lot of money was toilet paper. My mother nowadays doesn't collect them, but she is always looking to have a large stock, just in case.
For my part, I've never been a collector of anything. Maybe when I child at some point I collected cards and stickers. But I've never had a fondness for being a collector.
And you, do you are a collector? If so, what do you collect?
Thank you to my wonderful sponsors. You all rock!
Special thanks today to @Jane for renewing her sponsorship. Thank you, sis!

Very nice collection, but I prefer to collect rocks. If I had a Chucky I would put it on the front porch of the house.
