Madame Toussauds

This Halloween, Madame Tussauds New York and InterContinental New York Times Square are offering the ultimate spooky overnight stay on October 31 at the entrance of Warner Bros. Icons of Horror, where fans will have the opportunity to privately explore the experience and get up close with some of the most iconic horror characters.

It’s a Halloween slumber party for the ages, packed with seasonal tricks and treats.

From the press release: “Before the real tricks begin, guests will be treated to drinks and a three-course dinner from InterContinental’s room service menu, inspired by Warner Bros.’ The Exorcist and New Line Cinema’s The Conjuring Universe and IT. When the museum’s doors close, the frightening overnight experience begins where guests will find their luxury accommodations materialized.

“The experience dares guests to explore every corner of the immersive scenes recreated from Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema’s horror films. Come face-to-face with possessed doll Annabelle in a child’s bedroom tea party and The Nun from The Conjuring Universe. Survive the original possession that started it all, with Regan from The Exorcist floating above her bed – will you suffer the safe fate? And be terrorized by the dancing clown, Pennywise from IT, in the darkest and most run-down part of the Neibolt house.”

  • Custom-cast wax hands

When the lights go out and the doors are locked, what happens?! Pre-booking and stay customization must be organized at least five days in advance – horror fans can book their fa-boo-lous room now by calling 212-803-4580 or emailing ictsqsales@ihg.com to inquire.

We just passed the official Halfway to Halloween mark, which means the spooky season is right around the corner. It’ll only be a few more months before we start talking Halloween on a regular basis, which means it won’t be long before the Cereal Monsters return to shelves.

And this year, they’re bringing their monster pets along for the ride…

First spotted by @SammyHain over on Twitter this week, this year’s theme from General Mills is “Monsters’ Frightful Friends,” with Boo Berry, Count Chocula, Franken Berry and last year’s new addition Carmella Creeper returning this Halloween with all-new marshmallows.

The marshmallows in this year’s monster cereals will depict the brand new pets of the individual monsters, including a spider, a snake, a flying franken-bat, and even a ghost cat!

Here’s the full lineup…

In addition to the individual boxes of each cereal, it looks like we’re also getting the “Frightful Friends” mashup blend this Halloween season, which brings all the different cereals together.

Look for this year’s monster cereals on store shelves as we get closer to Halloween.
