I sent out a Merry Christmas newsletter from the Skeleton Crew (with a link back to the Happy Holidays post I wrote), and I was delighted to get a few replies in return. One of them is even the reason for this post.
Kevin is the Head Ghoul of a company called Ghoulish Goodies. Here’s what he wrote (after wishing me and the Skeleton Crew a Happy Holiday too):
We offer 13 different Halloween, horror and Gothic -themed Mystery Fun Bags. Please check us out on Facebook. If you like what you see please share on your blog, Instagram, Facebook, wherever you can. There is no Mystery Box in existence like us.
Happy Horrordays
Best, Kevin ( Head Ghoul) https://www.facebook.com/GhoulishGoodiesShop
Well that sure piqued my interest. I wrote him back and told him I’d do a Featured Friday write up and here we are.

See what I mean? Vampires, zombies, witches, gothic, horror, cats, bats, monsters and, one that instantly caught our eye, skeletons!
The only one missing is ghosts. (Or is it? Maybe there’s a little bit of paranormal in all of them?)
Speaking of…
What’s in Them?
That’s the fun. It’s a mystery! You never know!
They can contain anything from candy, toys and knick knacks to jewelry, soaps, clothing, DVDs, blankets, home decor and more. (So much more! That Facebook post I embedded above lists tons more stuff.)
Bonus: A Mystery Box for Valentine’s Day
As I was checking out their Facebook page again, I found another mystery box: the Bleeding Hearts Valentine’s Day Mystery Box. Here’s their post about it:
No telling what’s in that one, but it might make a fun Valentine’s gift, right? (I know I’d be tickled to receive something like that.)
Anyway, check them out, give them a like, maybe even leave them a comment that HJ sent you. All optional, of course, but I’m sure they’re dying to get to know you!

Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
