RELEASE PERIODS : S1 OCT 2016 + S2 OCT 2017 + S3 AUG 2018 + S3 AUG 2019 + S1-3 FOIL DEC 2020

The Horrorible Kids Series 1 set was released during the later half of 2016, on October 24th. The entire set was created by artist Mark Pingitore who sketched and painted all eighteen characters to create a thirty-six, twin-card parody release poking fun at the horror film genre. The creative title
is a play on the words 'horror' and 'horrible'. The first print run set, containing one asterisk, * © 2016 MARK PINGITORE PRTD. IN U.S.A., was posted to his Magic Marker Art website for $55, along with an already established inventory of t-shirts, art prints, original artwork et cetera. The set was initially part of Pingitore's Slop! Culture Kids clothing line from March 2016 and started out as a small set 5x7 artwork on 7x9 card of seven characters with twin images as 'Horror A' set. The 'PEEL HERE' vinyl stickers have an ingenious tombstone-esque die-cut which is a nice reminder of early Garbage Pail Kids releases with special sticker die-cuts. Pingitore's titles and products are wonderfully influenced by the 80's nostalgic toy and cartoon era.

The Horrorible Kids Series 2 set was released one year after the first installment on October 12, 2017 right in time for the Halloween season. The eighteen-card, nine-character set is numerically sequential to the first set and was released along with other Horrorible Kids products including three premium enamel pins and a sticker sheet collection of previous characters.

The 'PEEL HERE' vinyl stickers have an ingenious tombstone-esque die-cut which is a nice reminder of early Garbage Pail Kids releases with special sticker die-cuts.




The Horrorible Kids Series 3 set was released ten months after the second installment on August 1, 2018. The series was released in box and wrapper form with an available binder — a first for the Magic Marker Art parody lines — as a pre-order prior to August. The 90-card, 45-character set encompasses a re-release of the HK1 and HK2 sets on vintage-style cardstock format along with the new HK3 material; previously only available as vinyl stickers. The first print run set contains one asterisk; * © 2018 MARK PINGITORE - MAGIC MARKER ART, LLC. The 'PEEL HERE' stickers continue to have an ingenious tombstone-esque die-cut with a refreshed logo and reverse card backs that pay tribute to the OS3 and OS4 Garbage Pail Kids 'WANTED' posters artwork; also a first for the Magic Marker Art parody lines.

A 2nd print run pre-order of Horrorible Kids Series 3 ran on the Magic Marker Art website for one month, from June 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019, and was available starting on August 9, 2019. Instead of boxed packs as the 1st print run, this was a mini-box release with just the full set with brand-new puzzle backs. Per the MMA website, each box came with: A full 90 card Series 1-3 base set (45 characters, each with an "a" and "b" alias), 2nd Printing (trademark line; * © 2019 MARK PINGITORE - MAGIC MARKER ART, LLC), Vintage style cardstock (die-cut stickers!), and BACK ART (puzzles).

— The character is comically seen talking into a disconnected landline telephone... not a phone call with a disconnect tone, but the handset receiver cord jack being unplugged from the actual phone. The character is also seen sporting some spiffy CPK-esque shoes with OS1-like pink stripes.



20a + P1a LOST BOYD = The Lost Boys; characters from the 1987 horror comedy film.
Horror film description: The Lost Boys (1987 comedy/horror) – Two Arizona brothers who move to California and end up fighting a gang of young vampires. The title is a reference to the Lost Boys in J.M. Barrie's stories about Peter Pan and Neverland, whom, like the vampires in the movie, never grow up. Peter Pan syndrome. def'n: Lost – Unable to find one's way; not knowing one's whereabouts. Something that has been taken awake or cannot be recovered; like one's innocence. def'n: Boy – A male child or young man.

Michael Emerson: "Huh?"

David: "Maggots, Michael. You're eating maggots. How do they taste?"

21b GREAT WHITEY = Great white (shark).
def’n: Great white shark – A large, very aggressive shark of warm water (seas), with a brownish or gray back, white underparts and very large, triangular teeth.



THE TERROR-IBLE TRUTH:
— The character is seen depicted with a massive, great white, killer smile — not in the least bit mechanical. The bloodwork and the helplessly waiving hand is similar to the jaw-snapping Venus flytrap mouth found within the GPK OS3 set for cards 105a Juicy JESSICA and 105b Green DEAN painted by artist John Pound. — The overall open-water feel of the HK2 image is not the same, but very reminiscent of the OS9 GPK character 354a CLARK Shark and 354b MANNY Eater, also painted by artist John Pound. The GPK flesh-colored shark is seen feasting on a human hand, attached to a limb, presumably attached to an entire body. A fishing hook war-wound is seen embedded in the lower lip of the angry looking character. The HK2 character does show a few war wounds of his own but things are going swimmingly as he happily munches on his second breakfast. — Collectors may recall Pingitore's other Jaws-inspired GPK image for the 2014S1 set for cards 20a Jawin' JULIE and 20b Da-Da DONNA.



22a FRED A. TOR = Predator.
Horror film & character description: Predator (1987 science-fiction action horror) – An elite special forces team on a mission to rescue hostages from guerrila territory in Central America's Northern Triangle and unknowingly being stalked by a technologically advanced extraterrestrial life form that's hunting the group, or 'prey'. def'n: Predator – An animal that naturally preys on others.

THE TERROR-IBLE TRUTH:
— The Predator character (aka Yautja) is seen with his signature dreadlocks — but not 'bald' on top, fully expanded mouth, showcasing his wrist blade weapons and dragging the knocked out Queen alien from the movie Alien by the tail; a nice shout-out to the Alien vs. Predator famous battle in the film from 2004. — The swapped characters (Predator/Queen aliens) and mirror imagery layout doesn't exactly copy it's GPK counterpart, but instead pays respectful homage to the wonderful OS2 characters 55a Hairy GARY and 55b Brutal BRAD painted by artist John Pound, especially when compared to HK2 cards 23a GINA Morph and 23b Alien AILEEN.



23a GINA MORPH = Xenomorph.
Horror film & character description: Alien (1979 science-fiction horror) – Highly aggressive, parasitic-like, extraterrestrial creatures that stalk the crew of a spaceship. def'n: Xenomorph – A fictional endoparasitoid extraterrestrial species that is the eponymous antagonist of the Alien film franchise.

Tor and 22b Ugly EM F'er. The character is fisting the crop of hair, much like the previous comparison for GPK card #55.



24a RING SUE = Rinse — or possibly, Ringu (the Japanese title), or both.

THE TERROR-IBLE TRUTH:
— The Ring movie consists of a plain 'wishing well' surrounded by rock whereas the HK2 image portrays a covered well with a well bucket — in this case, the bucket being a metal cleaning bucket. The bucket is used to draw water from the well by means of a rope and pulley or windlass (a type of winch). The drowned victim has been winched up by her long hair. — The well image is a tribute to, at the time unpublished, GPK OS16 cards 651a Dunkin' DUNCAN and 651b WILL Hung painted by artist John Pound. The GPK image shows an edited version of the character being pulled out of th well with the rope under the armpits of the character, the original tight pencil and color rough (and possibly final) shows the rope around the character's neck instead. This may have been too graphic.



25a ELLE VIRA = Elvira.
Horror film show: Elvira's Movie Macabre (1981 horror movie presentation) – An american acctress, Cassandra Peterson portrayed the horror hostess character Elvira for many sesasons. The television show aired B-grade horror movies with Elvira and other guests (like 'The Breather') that acted as commentators. def'n: Elvira – The Spanish name means truth, white and beautiful — slightly ironic. def'n: Vira – The plural of the singular 'virus'.

Horrific, terrible, awful, detestable, abhorrent, loathsome, hideous, unspeakable, reprehensible, despicable, abominable, monstrous, etc.



THE TERROR-IBLE TRUTH:
— The painting pays a wonderful tribute to the movie poster of the Re-Animator film with the catchphrase "It will scare you to pieces." The image minimizes the number of scientific apparatuses and focuses more on the act of the 'mad scientist' injecting the "special solution" into the head of a once-dead victim. — Much like the movie poster image, the artwork is also heavily lit from underneath throwing objects above and in back into shadow and showing a heavy light on the underside of the face and washing out the clothing. The piece is highly reminiscent of the OS2 GPK character 72a Mad MAX and 72b Brainy BRIAN painted by artist John Pound, seen manhandling a brain instead of a head, and a similar looking syringe needle that has drawn blood or brain fluid instead of injecting a special serum.



27a AMERI KEN PSYCHO = American Psycho.

The character's gruesome skeleton and skull can be seen under and around the poured dark liquid. — The messy image is a tribute to GPK OS2 cards 79a Sewer SUE and 79b MICHELLE Muck painted by artist John Pound. The GPK image shows the character in the same slouched stance, weighed down by the mass of garbage on her shoulders, completely covered in raw sewage and dripping the hazmat (hazardous materials) as she slowly ambles along. Two flies can be seen within both artwork images and hands dribbling the filth and grime.

Her token blue sweater is laid-to-rest in front of her, as though she's wearing it, with lit wax candles throwing flickering light and dark shadows on her mummified head and short cropped, blonde hair. Heavens to Betsy! — Although not a direct tribute, the artwork is reminiscent of the shrunken head character for GPK OS3 cards 119a NED Head and 119b Still JILL painted by artist John Pound. Although sewn shut, the piece shows the character's face with the same closed, heavy eyelids and a slight smile at death, which oftens happens when rigor mortis sets in and wrinkled, dried-up skin.

Heavy metal band : Iron Maiden — An English heavy metal band formed in East London in 1975 releasing more than 15 studio albums including 1982's The Number of the Beast. def'n: Iron maiden — historically.

THE TERROR-IBLE TRUTH:
— The original concept for 'Iron Maiden' was created in 2011, during the GPK Flashback period, by Pingitore during his Topps days but not selected by the company. The tight sketch shows a similar looking character but having a sharper, more edgier feel and structure sitting upon a thick base with less blood spilling forth. The suggested nomenclature was IRA Maiden, which stuck, and 'Iron AIDEN'. — The HK3 image shows the iron maiden torture device sporting a curvier, more rounded, shape and shell, with full-length body doors and the victim's right arm still attached. The character's body shows several puncture wounds and some red-striped CPK shoes to match.

After his revival by the mystical crow, he takes on the gothic mantle of the Crow and is then guided by the crow to seek revenge. The crow giveth (life) and taketh away (eyeball). — The character is reminiscent of GPK OS4 cards 131a Stuffed STEVEN and 131b RUTHORFORD B. Hayes painted by artist John Pound as far as both characters having a crow perched on their arm and having had their left eye plucked out by the said crow, the HK's brown eye and the GPK's blue eye.

THE TERROR-IBLE TRUTH:

— The demonic, pumpkin-colored character is seen wearing his shabby orange footie-pajama jumpsuit and a burlap sack pulled over his head and tied around his neck to keep it in place. The peculiar trick-or-treater has buttons sewn on his sack for eyes (one currently missing), is grasping his bag of goodies, and chomping on a pumpkin-face sucker while creating a sharp-edged weapon from the half-bitten lollipop; also seen within the advertising for the movie.

34a JOSS FERATU = Nosferatu.

THE TERROR-IBLE TRUTH:

— The B&W character is seen crouched over and hunched, creeping along with his killer claws and bucked, pointy teeth. In the silent film, this is in jest of the iconic scene of where just the shadow of Count Orlok is seen climbing up a staircase, but in this case, the shadow is showing the vampire's cute side and making a bunny rabbit, shadow puppet — figures that are placed between a light and screen and created using the fingers and hands through movement.

— The card image itself is on a grayscale, a range of gray shades from white to black, pictured in a monochrome display to play up the black and white movie with a B&W Horrorible Kids logo and gray nameplate.

— The artwork is given a classic GPK-like gaping grimace mouth and shows the smoking release of "The Kandarian Demon", a force of pure evil, that controls the dead and Deadites in the movies. The two blood drips seen within the tight pencil artwork have not been colored in for the final artwork and the large bubble circle ended up under the Horrorible Kids logo on the card image.



36a BOGUS BILLY — Billy; specific B name to go with the word 'bogus'.

Billy is depicted with his trademark black tuxedo, white face, shirt and gloves, and red cheek spirals, bow tie and pocket handkerchief. However, instead of his red Mary Janes shoes he's sporting some red-striped CPK shoes. — The character is a wonderful tribute piece to GPK OS4 cards 152a Whisperin' WOODY and 152b VAN Triloquist painted by artist Tom Bunk.

Pingitore's HK3 image also has the person usually pulling-the-strings and in control sitting on the dummy's lap.

Eventually beheaded by the hero Perseus.



THE TERROR-IBLE TRUTH:
— The original concept for 'Medusa/Gorgon' was created in 2013, around the BNS period, by Pingitore during his Topps days but not selected by the company. The tight sketch shows a similar looking character sporting a different style of sports bra and writhing in front of two broken, Greek columns. The suggested nomenclature was 'Medu SUE' and 'BLAIR Glare'. — The HK3 image shows Medusa being the victor over Perseus and holding his stonified head as he holds Medusa's in the Clash of the Titans movie. Although their is a GPK Gorgon-like character within the OS3 series, this is more of a direct parody. — The Gorons, a recurring rock-eating race in the Legend of Zelda series, is a play on the Greek word Gorgons.



38a MANIAC MATT — Matt; specific M name to go with the word 'maniac'.
Horror film character: Matthew Cordell (aka Maniac Cop, Officer Matt, Matt, Officer Cordell, et cetera) — The main protagonist and villain of the Maniac Cop franchise. def'n: Maniac — Exhibiting extreme symptoms of voilent and dangerous behavior.

Horror film description: Maniac Cop (1988 slasher thriller film) — Three New York police officers search for a killer in uniform who should be stone cold dead and buried. def'n: Copper — informal. A police officer; law enforcement officer.

THE TERROR-IBLE TRUTH:

— The killer cop character is seen in full uniform flashing his police badge, referenced as a 'badge of silence' in the third film which is reminiscent to the 'blue wall of silence' code, an internal and informal rule among officers not to report a colleague's errors, crimes or misconducts. The mugshot matches the time period after the first film once his waterlogged face is more rotten and decayed.

— The color rough artwork for the copper concept shows the dead man in blue holding a black billy club instead of the patrol rifle that's seen in the final artwork and sketched out on the color rough. The billy club (aka cudgel, baton, night stick, etc.) is highly suggestive of his bad-cop ways and police brutality tendencies.



39a RAGGEDY ANNABELLE = Raggedy Ann; a name parody of the popular rag doll with red yarn for hair and a red triangular nose, also pictured within the HK3 artwork theme. Horror film character: Annabelle the Doll (aka Annabelle, Annabelle Bullins, Annabelle Higgins, Bee, The Demon, The Devil, The Doll) — The secondary antagonist of The Conjuring and the titular antagonist of its Annabelle prequels.

The sinister character is forcing a smiling, blood-red and white 'Raggedy Ann' doll into a meat grinder, complete with hand crank and table clamp. — The character is a wonderful tribute piece to GPK OS1 cards 18a Cranky FRANKIE and 18b Bad BRAD painted by artist John Pound, but most specifically, the original concept and color rough for the character that was revised to the GPK doll shredding several similar colored school books into the grinder for the final artwork and printed card image. Pingitore's image adds a splash more of red slasher blood to the artwork and finished product.



40a TWIN TARA — Tara; non-specific T name to go with the word 'twin'.
Horror film character: Grady Daughter #1 & #2 — The two girls in blue that character Danny Torrance sees while riding his tricycle in the Overlook Hotel's West Wing. def'n: Twin — Something consisting of two matching or corresponding parts.

The image is fleshed out with similar-looking wallpaper with simpler blue flowers adorning the walls. Although the sisters are two years apart, 8 and 10, families often dressed their offspring in similar, matching fashions in the 60s (and other eras).

— Artist Mark Pingitore's tight pencil artwork foretells the foreshadowing of the shadows on the floor and the wonderful flower arrangement on the walls. The original nomenclature for one of the twin-like girls was jotted down as 'Double V. SHAUNA' instead of 'SHANA'.



41a THING JUAN = 'Thing One' parody name; twin brothers from The Cat in the Hat book.
Horror film description: The Thing (1982 horror film) — A group of researchers in Antarctica who encounter a parasitic extraterrestrial life-form that assimilates organisms. def'n: Thing — An object that is not given a specitic name. Item, object, et cetera.


41b THING STU = 'Thing Two' parody name; twin brothers from The Cat in the Hat book.
Horror film description: The Thing (1982 horror film) — A shape-shifting parasitic creature that has the ability to absorb and copy any life-form it consumes for adaptation. def'n: Thing — An inanimate material object, living creature, plant, et cetera.


THE TERROR-IBLE TRUTH:

— The character is seen standing within a snowstorm in the South Pole, an uninhabitated, ice-covered landmass. 'Thing One', the larger thing, is nicknamed 'Blair-Thing' after devouring Blair, the Senior Biologist. The movie monster is identified by its enormous body mass, a pair of jaws fused to the human head, canine parts emerging from the chest and multiple tentacles and disjointed arms from its body. The facial feature on the creature is in a frozen state of agonized terror, but the Horrorible Kids character is smiling happily. 'Thing Two', the smaller thing, is called 'Norris-Thing' after assimulating the geologist Norris; seen in his third and final form after detaching it's head for self-preservation reasons; it possesses a serpentine, spider-like body with arthropod-like appendages.



42a MARK OF THE BEAST = Mark of the Beast (fka Number of the Beast).
Horror film description: The Omen (1976 horror movie series) — Some not-so mysterious deaths surround an ambassador after he adopts a child that could be the Antichrist. def'n: Number of the Beast — A term from the Book of Revelation (13:11-18) that states the Beast of Revelation comes marked with the number 666.


42b DEMON DAMIEN — Damien; specific D name to go with the word 'demon'.
Horror film character: Damien Thorn (aka the Beast, the Antichrist) — The main antagonist of The Omen series; the Antichrist and son of the Devil. def’n: Demon — An evil spirit or devil; one thought to possess a person or act as a tormentor in hell. Mischievous; devilry.



THE TERROR-IBLE TRUTH:
— The little devil is seen pictured deep in the bowels of Hell with cross graveyard markers in the background. The demon child is pictured in his Sunday's best clothes, with his token black hat and sporting some new CPK shoes with fitting red stripes to match is demonic eyes. Born on the 6th day of the 6th month at 6a.m.; 666. — Original concepts noted with the nomenclature 'MARK D. Beast' and 'Devilish DAMIEN'. — The character is a devilishly brilliant tribute piece to GPK OS2 cards 64a Hot SCOTT and 64b LUKE Warm painted by artist John Pound. Both characters are being licked by Hell's flames, sporting demon horns and a red forked tail, and holding a trident staff. Both with a furrowed brow and an evil grin.



43a BATTY BETTIE — Bettie; specific B name to go with the word 'batty'.
Pin-up model character: Bettie Mae Page (aka Queen of Pinups) — An American model that gained a significant profile in the 1950s for her stylized pin-up photos. def'n: Batty — To be crazy; insane. Eccentric, peculiar, loopy, ditzy, bonkers, etc. def'n: Batty — A noctorunal mammal with membranous wings capable of flight.


43b PINUP PAIGE — Paige; specific P name to go with the combined words 'pin-up'.
Pin-up model character: Bettie Mae Page (aka Dark Angel) — Having a cult-myth persona & pop culture 'figure' with jet-black hair, blue eyes and her trademark fringe. def’n: Pin-up — A poster showing a famous person or sex symbol designed to be pinned up (pushpins, tape, et cetera) and displayed on a wall.


THE TERROR-IBLE TRUTH:

— The famous 'bond'-age girl and blue-eyed bombshell is seen posing and modeling a tie-front top 2-piece swimsuit with her trademark jet-black fringe that accentuates her fair light skin. The young bat (as opposed to an 'old bat': a woman regarded as unattractive or unpleasant) takes on the role of a very pale vampire with bat-like wings and sharp fangs dripping a good amount of blood on her pallor mortis-like skin condition.

— Although the character isn't exactly a tribute piece to any specific GPK image, it's reminiscent of OS13 cards 511a Puffy BUFFY and 511b Busty DUSTY, painted by artist John Pound, who's seen modeling some post-training bra and stretched-out, fiber-tested pajamas.



44a FURRY FRANK — Frank; a specific F name to go with the word 'furry'. Pingitore's original concept rough and tight pencil artwork had the nomenclature 'Futuristic FRANK'. Horror film character: Frank the Rabbit (aka simply Frank or Frank Anderson) — A member of the 'manipulated dead' who guides the main protagonist Donnie Darko character into various misdeeds but also eventually correcting a timeline mishap. def'n: Furry — Covered with fur. informal. An animal enthusiast who dresses up in costume (cosplayer-like) with anthropomorphic behavior; human traits with animal needs.

44b PETER ROTTENTAIL = Peter Cottontail. A name parody of the fictional character, Peter Rabbit, popularized by the 1950 song, 1957 novel, 1971 television special, et cetera.

THE TERROR-IBLE TRUTH:

— The anti-hero is standing erect in a CPK-like stance with blue-striped CPK shoes and an evil gleam in his eye; a literal facial expression denoting amusement or the knowledge of a secret. This is no Petter Rabbit, no Petter Cottontail, no Engergizer Bunny... but a little like the troublemaker Bugs Bunny (carot, rabbit hole and all). The rabbit hole not present before the final artwork stage.

— Frank's powers basically include the ability to travel through time in order to save the Primary Universe from destruction and speaking with the Living Receiver (Mr. Darko), but his villainous character also contains the personality trait of being corruptive by influencing others to commit petty crimes such as vandalism, arsony and accidental murder. A jacked-up rabbit.



45a INVISA- BILLY = Invisible.
Horror film character: The Invisible Man (aka Dr. Jack Griffin) — The titular protagonist and brilliant research scientist 'appearing' in the 1933 movie based off of H.G. Wells' 1897 novella The Invisible Man who was a potential psychopath before the discovery. def'n: Invisible — Unable to be seen or detected; not visible to the eye.


45b WHERE ARE HUGH = Where are you?
Horror film description: The Invisible Man (1933 science fiction horror) — A chemist discovers the secret of invisibility, unfortunately, with a murderously insane side effect. def'n: Where are you? — Requesting someone's whereabouts; usually repeatedly uttered and asked if blind or in total darkness, but also to someone who's invisible.



THE TERROR-IBLE TRUTH:
— The original concept for the 'Invisible Man' was created in 2012 for the Topps GPK Magnet set that was single-handedly painted by Pingitore. The tight sketch shows a similar smoking pipe with bubbles gag and upside-down sunglasses (large dark goggles in the film), but portrays the character in the stolen trench-coat and hat that makes him visible again, although he wraps his head in bandages to conceal his invisibility or to reveal himself to others. — The HK3 artwork shows the character sporting his velvet smoking robe or jacket, white glove(s) and neck scarf, but also sporting a pair of blue jeans and CPK shoes with red stripes. The bandages are wrapped more like the movie character, up over the bridge of the nose.

The first seven cards in the eighteen character set were initially released as limited edition Art Prints under the 'Slop Culture Kids' moniker; they were posted to Mark's website in March of 2016 for $70 and have since then sold out. A few of the character's names have slightly changed to the sticker line and Jason Voorhees has been given his mask to wear. The first time Horrorible Kids became available on sticker in sheet format was in the middle of 2016 also under Pingitore's 'Slop Culture Kids' clothing line (t-shirts) with the 'Horror Kids - Series 1' title. The package came '3 Sticker Sheets' for $10. The eighth custom SCK image that found it's way into the set was for cards 8a Dusk Til DAWN and 8b Seductive SELMA that was specifically created for the Gallery 1988 group show '20 Years Later' that ran from July 1st through July 16th, 2019.







The Horrorible Kids T-shirts were available for Pingitore's aforementioned 'Slop Culture Kids' clothing line starting in October of 2016. Six different T-shirts were available in great dark colors; they were available on the Magic Marker Art website for $20.





Prior to the Horrorible Series 1 release on during October 2016, two months prior in August an Enamel Pin of 4a CHAIN SAUL was available for purchase for $13 from Cavity Colors website who partnered with Pingitore to release the limited edition quantity of 150 pins (which sold out fast). The second enamel pin released by Magic Marker Art is 1a ADAM N. Evil from the Disasters of the Universe set with the pin backing being an ingenius replica of the card back; albeit, downsized to pin-size. The "ChainSAUL" pin was advertised as a sneak peek on Magic Marker Art's Facebook page.





The unofficial, online Promotional Material in the form of electronic pictures acted as ads for the Horrorible Kids Series 1 on social media in early October of 2016 for a Hallowe'en release date. The initial ad ran on Mark Pingitore's pages had the 'HALLOWEEN 2016' tagline and portrayed three previously published characters; note that 4a Chain SAUL and 4b Mass A. CARL now have a blue nameplate; the purple nameplate does not appear in the set (bummer). The second and third 'sneak peek' preview ads were exclusive ads that could be found posted to GPKWorld and GeePeeKay social media pages and websites for the new images of 17a PENNY Wise and 18a Axin' JACKSON, respectively. The 'HALLOWEEN 2016' was changed to 'OCTOBER 24, 2016' for the actual and updated ad for both images. A decent price tag of $55 for the set; a great price when considering an independent release, vinyl material, die-cuts and some profit.







A Sneak Peek of the first vinyl card in the series, 1a Momma's BOYD, as seen on top of the stacked set was posted to Magic Marker Art's Facebook page in anticipation for the upcoming Horrorible Kids Series 1 release. The circular sticker in the bottom right hand corner seals the protective wrap on the backside of the 'pack'. The 36 sticker (18 character) set was released on 10/2016 and sold for $55 with 200 *1st print run sets printed.





On April 29th, 2017, the Magic Marker Art website posted a limited edition pack of 8 MAGNETS for $15.00 with a print run of only 150 per subject under the Slop! Culture Kids moniker. The 1st Series set contains four characters from the Disasters of the Universe set with a castle diecut, two characters from the Horrorible Kids set with a tombstone die cut, and two characters from the G.I.JOKES set with a dog-tag die cut. The cardboard packaging is modeled after a nostalgic Topps GPK wrapper with a logo, a yellow background, 'STICKERS' in bold with a white background, a series announcement (starting after the OS1 set) and '5 STICKERS • 1 STICK BUBBLE GUM' printed at the bottom.







Magic Marker Art (aka Mark Pingitore) took to Instagram on May 4th, 2017, to post a pin poll to see if collectors would care to see the character image for cards 1a Momma's BOYD and 1b Crystal LUKE realized as an Enamel Pin. A pin for 4a Chain SAUL had been previously released in 2016. A picture of the produced pins was posted to social media on June 19th, 2017 and stated that they would be available for sale on June 22nd, 2017, the same day as the Disasters of the Universe Series 3 set; limited to 150 pins printed. NOTE: the 2021 enamel pin differs greatly; hinged mask, no puddle, double-stacked header, etc.



For a limited time, the Threadless website offered a Momma's BOYD T-shirt starting on May 18th, 2017, that had a nice OS1-like pink border outline around the character.






An ad was placed on social media on June 12, 2017 for the Horrorible Kids Series 2 set, which is planned to be released in October of 2017 along with advertisements for two new Parody Sets by Magic Marker Art; Trash Former Series 1 to be released beforehand in August of 2017 and Star Warped Kids Series 1 to be released afterwards in November of 2017, both being humor sets poking fun at the Transformers and the Star Wars franchises, respectively.





An early Horrorible Kids Series 2 image was posted to social media on June 28, 2017 to promote the painting being a part of the Gallery1988 art show in July and stated a Promo Card would be available opening day. The P1a Lost BOYD card image is a parody of the 1987 thriller movie titled The Lost Boys focusing on the David character, played by Kiefer Sutherland, during the infamous Chinese take-out scene. The promo card will be available at a later date through the Magic Marker Art online store (TBA).





Magic Marker Art (aka artist Mark Pingitore) took to social media, including Instagram, on July 22, 2017 to announce that a third Horrorible Kids soft Enamel Pin would be produced and released for the 5a HAL Raiser character; limited to 150 pins printed. The pin was released along side the Trashformers Series 1 cards on August 24, 2017. NOTE: the 2021 versions is slightly larger to match the other pins, with a slight color change and a double-stacked header.





A tight pencil and partial ink preview for two potential soft Enamel Pins were posted to social media on August 15, 2017. Thus, adding to the Magic Markers Art product line, most specifically to the popular pin line. The two characters are 3a PIA Soup and 3b Compelled CHRISTY from the Horrorible Kids card set plus 1a Commandin' BRANDON and 1b LEE Der from the G.I.JOKES car set. This would be the fourth enamel pin for the Horrorible Kids line. On September 18th, two additional pins were pictured with only the card backs for 4a Chain SAUL and 6a Masked MICHAEL. The three Halloween-advertisted pins were eventually released on 10/12/2017 for a $27 bundle or $10ea; all three limited to 150. This would be the second, slightly different release for 4a Chain SAUL, previously released by Cavity Colors a year ago. NOTE: the 2021 restocked pins have a double-stacked header.







Starting in late mid-August, the Magic Marker Art social media pages started to tease collectors of the impending follow-up parody release with a few Color Rough sneak peeks on 08/18/2017, an Alien/Predator parody with an OS2 image twist and 09/06/2017, The Ring parody image. In the midst of this, on August 29th, all nine Horrorible Kids 2 color roughs were displayed.





The Original Concept for The Ring parody gag of Pingitore's may stem from the 2006 release of the ANS5 GPK set by Topps that was not chosen for the set but may have become the inspiration behind cards 24a Ring SUE and 24b VEE H.S. within the Horrorible Kids brand.





On September 14, 2017, the Mock-up Card image for Horrorible Kids 2 character GINA Morph (= xenomorph) was posted to social media as card 23a for the upcomingseries. The card contains a wonderful OS2 John Pound shout-out and the set continues the wonderful tombstone baring die-cut.





At the beginning of October two Sneak Peek images were shared on social media to advertise the upcoming Horrorible Kids Series 2 release. On 10/03/17 the ream of circular stickers image was posted, and on 10/04/17 the 'pack' image was posted. The circular sticker in the bottom left hand corner seals the protective wrap on the backside of the 'pack'. The 18-sticker, 9-character set was released on 10/12/17 and sold for $35 with 100 *1st print run sets printed.





The third Horrorible Kids item that posted on 10/12/2017, and the second Sticker Sheet installment for Magic Marker Art, contained two 5x7 sticker sheets of nine characters from the Horrorible Kids Series 1 set, but different from the first 'Slop! Culture Kids' sticker sheet of six characters originally titled as simply 'Horror Kids'. The package itself pokes fun at marked-down product found in yesteryears at K·B Toys (known as Kay Bee Toys until 1997 — closed in 2009) with a price tag sticker titled 'Kray Zee', the item is humorously marked-UP, contains the evil number-of-the-beast '666' and the recommendation 'For ages 45 and down'. The sheet was first hinted at as a Photoshop mock-up image posted to social media on September 6, 2017.





Magic Marker Art showcased several Rough Sketch ideas on 12/09/2017; Pingitore: "I've been busy working on commissions this month, but also taking some time to plan for 2018. Each of my sets start as rough sketches to visualize my ideas, and I jot down some names. I choose the ones I like and arrange them in a way that is visually pleasing. Here's a look at some roughs from four different upcoming 2018 sets (G.I. Jokes, Nintendopes, Thunderbrats, and Horrorible Kids)!" A Horrorible Kids Series 3 is on the horizon with a potential Annabelle (The Conjuring series) character parody.





Magic Marker Art announced on 01/11/2018 that a seventh Horrorible Kids soft Enamel Pin would be produced and released for the 17a PENNY Wise card character; limited to 150 pins printed. The pin contains a whopping number of thirteen colors and the pin mock-up portrays a brand new Horrorible Kids stacked header not seen before; although, the backing board contains the older header. The pin officially went on sale on 01/31/2018 of the new year. NOTE: the 2021 restock has a double-stacked header.





Magic Marker Art and Mark Pingitore took to social media on 02/07/2018 to announce that Horrorible Kids hand-drawn Sketch Cards (1:1 ratio) would be available at the upcoming Gross Card Con (ToyCon) in Las Vegas over the weekend of 02/23-02/25/2018, along with Disasters of the Universe, G.I.JOKES and Magic Marker Art sketch card stock. The sketches will run $50 for a B&W drawing and $75 for a color version. The sketch card stock may possibly be available online and at future conventions and card shows.





An 11x17 inch Horrorible Kids Mini Poster was announced on social media on April 10th, 2018 and became available online at Magic Marker Art on April 11th, the next day (* © 2018 MARK PINGITORE PRTD. IN U.S.A.) for $10.00 each. The 2nd Series card 20a and P1a Lost BOYD character poster is a limited edition of 50 copies and signed by the artist, Mark Pingitore.






The first Horrorible Kids Series 3 Color Rough sneak peek was posted to social media on March 27th, 2018, a parody of The Crow movie, just days after the HorrorHound Weekend artwork. The second sneak peek was the severely slanted image for Tarman CARMEN (character pictured further below) on top of a stack of eighteen color roughs on April 5th, 2018 and the third and final color rough sneak peek occured on Friday the 13th of April showcasing the severed head of Jason Voorhees' mother sitting on her creepy shrine.





On April 5th, a small pile of Horrorible Kids Series 3 color roughs were pictured on social media, only displaying a parody image of 'Tarman' on top. On April 6th, 2018 the card mock-up for 28a Tarman CARMEN was disclosed showcasing the new stacked Horrorible Kids header, previously seen on the PENNY Wise enamel pin color chart, the sketch card cardstock and the Lost BOYD poster. On April 11th, 2018 a Wrapper image was revealed showing the rendered artwork of the Tarman CARMEN character and hinting at the possibility of HK3 packs, with 5 stickers per pack.





On Wednesday, April 18th, MMA posted a sneak peek at 'The Return' of the Horrorible Kids that showcased a mock-up Display Box and mock-up packs and stated 'Full Details and Pre-Order in May'. Although the display box depicts card image placeholders, the artwork of HKS1 adn HKS2 will be included within the new release. The box will contain 24 packs and the packs will contain 5 die-cut stickers with 90 different cards to collect.





Per Pingitore, "Some alternate box designs that I played with before deciding on Tarman." You can see the evolution of the early mock-up display Box Designs from the earliest template with the HK1 4a Chain SAUL character sawing through the '90 CARDS TO COLLECT' and purple spattered box color, to the HK2 20a Lost BOYD character with a black box color and blue-logo spattered background, and finally to the box starring the new HK3 28a Tarman CARMAN character that kept the black addition and the orange image background giving the box a wonderful Hallowe'en feel.





The full blown 'Return' Ad Campaign was posted on pre-order day, May 1st, 2018. The 'Triple Feature' (film) set includes the previously released Horrorible Kids Series 1 and Series 2 packaged alogng with Series 3 on new die-cut card stock that resembles the OS releases with the reverse backs containing artwork, puzzles, checklists, et cetera. The box would run $65 each and packs could be purchased at $4 each.





The Magic Marker Website posted four different Horrorible Kids Series 3 Product Ads to their website on 05/01/2018. The first ad centered around the meat of the release, the box pre-order that stated; "DESCRIPTION: This is a PRE-ORDER for boxes of Horrorible Kids Sticker Trading Cards.

The second product ad revolved around a new item for the realm of Magic Marker Art, an official collector album (version 1) for the new release that stated; "DESCRIPTION: This is a PRE-ORDER for Horrorible Kids Official Vinyl Collector Albums. Estimated Delivery : JULY 2018 **Any other items purchased with this pre-order will not ship until that time** Features: 1 Inch D-Ring Binder, Padded front and back, Full color direct to vinyl print, and Black interior with two pockets."

And, the fourth and final product ad revolved around a 5-pack bundle that stated: "This is a PRE-ORDER for 5 packs of Horrorible Kids Sticker Trading Cards. Each pack contains 5 cards."





On 05/08/2018, Magic Marker Art announced that a free 4 Inch Sticker would come free with every Horrorible Kids Series 3 pre-order as an incentive. The new HK3 character decal includes the Horrorible Kids header and the main mascot for the release, a parody of Tarman. A decal sticker has not been seen from Magic Marker Art since the Slop! Culture Kids He-man/Skeletor mash-up characters from May 2016 that was also included free with pre-orders; the character was later seen within the Disasters of the Universe release.





The second tombstone-shaped, die-cut Mock-up Card of character, 29a Preserved PAM, was posted to social media for Mother's Day on 05/13/2018, an image showcasing the shrine that the devoted son, Jason Voorhees of the Friday the 13th franchise, had assembled for his vengeful mother, Pamela.





All good things must come to an end ... Magic Marker and its affiliate, artist Mark Pingitore, posted a fifth and final Horrorible Kids Series 3 Product Ad to social media on 06/04/2018 to notify collectors that the pre-order deadline ends on June 11, 2018 and would be the last day to place an order for the much anticipated HKS3 set and the HKS1 and HKS2 re-releases on new card stock. On 06/05/2018, Pingitore posted the card mock-up image for the previously released 6a Masked MICHAEL character showing the new stacked Horrorible Kids header and new trademark line that adds '- MAGIC MARKER ART, LLC'.





Magic Marker Art announced on 06/07/2018 that an eighth Horrorible Kids soft Enamel Pin would be produced and released for the upcoming, amazing and oozing 28a Tarman CARMEN card character. The pin mock-up portrays the brand-new Horrorible Kids stacked header recently seen on the 11x17 mini-poster and HKS3 advertising. The pin officially went on sale on July 17th and could be added to pre-existing box pre-orders. The pin backing board has the tar on the left-hand side redacted and the nameplate mislabeled as TARMAN Carmen instead of Tarman CARMEN; corrected for the final product.







A nineteenth HK3 concept rough made it well into the conceptual phase of pre-production titled 'RAHUL Ghoul' but pulled prior to the tight pencil artwork statge and remains Unpublished. The piece was a parody of the 1984/5 comedy horror film Ghoulies where the main movie poster displayed an image of a toilet with a ghoulie standing inside of it, holding a martini. The plot involves a couple moving into an old mansion where the young man unleashes small demonic creatures during a ceremony at a party for a joke. Had a plunger been a part of the concept, it would be very reminiscent of the OS1 painting by artist John Pound for cards 14a Potty SCOTTY and 14b JASON Basin. It is unkown whethere the image will make it into any future release.





Pingitore's brilliant HorrorHound mascot image created for the Aug. 24th-26th 2018 show and found its way on the backside of issue #70 March/April 2018 of the HorrorHound publication, was placed on a 'HH2018' HORACE Hound promo card that was handed out at the show with any purchase and could be obtained after the show with any online purchase; while supplies lasted. The artwork is now officially part of the Horrorible Kids releases, as part of Series 4, which ties in quite nicely with the horrorible theme. The backside of the card shows an ad for the Horrorible Kids Series 3 release showcasing a box, packs and singles. More information on the HorrorHound character can be found within the Horrorible Kids Series 4 page.





Thirteen new Horrorible Kids 'WAVE 1' Mini Posters, measuring 11x17 inches, were announced on social media on July 30th, 2018 and decided last minute in August and became available first at the Horror Hound Weekend in Indianapolis (Aug 24-26th) and later on the Magic Marker Art website on August 28th for $10.00 each.

Initial orders came with a bonus trash bag accessory but supplies were limited and the first run sold out quickly (inner patrons only for any release). This was the first collaboration between A.R.M. and Magic Marker Art but will not be the last. The figure also came with a die-cut 1a Momma's BOYD promo card with a 2019 trademark line and a black and white backside with the toy ad as seen below.

Other variations ... Per social media, Alien Robot Monster reported, "T.R.A.S.H. minis Momma's Boyd in cyan glow! These sets including trash bag will be available, made to order for A.R.M. patrons at Mantle and deeper levels as the June exclusive"; the blue minis were mailed out starting 06/10/2019.

A 2nd Print Run pre-order of Horrorible Kids Series 3 ran on the Magic Marker Art website for one month, from June 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019, and was available starting on August 9, 2019. Instead of boxed packs as the 1st print run, this was a mini-box release with just the full set with brand-new puzzle backs. Per the MMA website, each box comes with: A full 90 card Series 1-3 base set (45 characters, each with an "a" and "b" alias), 2nd Printing (trademark line; ** © 2019 MARK PINGITORE - MAGIC MARKER ART, LLC), Vintage style cardstock (die-cut stickers!), and BACK ART (Puzzles). The first ad reading 'PRE-ORDER BEGINS TOMORROW' was posted to social media on May 30, 2019 and the 'PRE-ORDER ENDS JUNE 30TH' hit the website on May 31, 2019. The image would later read 'FULL SET - HORRORIBLE KIDS - SERIES 1-3' once the product went live for sale on August 20, 2019.

A Foil Card pre-order of Horrorible Kids Series 1—3 dropped on social media as a 'SURPRISE RELEASE' on November 27, 2020, and was available by mid-December. At the same time, a foil card pre-order of Horrorible Kids Series 4 was also available; both costing $100 each, but could be picked up on Black Friday for $150, or $175 for both starting on November 28, 2020. These were mini-box releases with just the full set that included brand-new puzzle backs. Per the MMA website, each box came with: A full 180 card Series 1—3 and Series 4 foil sets (90 characters, each with an "a" and "b" alias), a limited run of 150 sets, vintage-style cardstock (die-cut stickers!), a spot foil mini box, and BACK ART (Puzzles).







On December 9, 2020, uncut Foil Sheets were added to the Magic Marker Art website for the Horrorible Kids Series 1-3, Horrorible Kids Series 4, and Horrorible Kids Series 5 sets. Each set of sheets cost $50 and the description stated: A set of (2) 45 card uncut foil sheets. Each sheet measures 19 x 24.5 inches and together has the full 90 card foil set. Please note: Sheets are in mint to near mint condition. I will pick the nicest ones available and they will shipped flat sandwiched between cardboard.





On December 16, 2020, Magic Marker Art took to social media to post a new advert for a Horrorible Kids vinyl sticker pack with nine different characters and eight Scratch N' Sniff sticker sheets with eight different characters, that simply stated: "Coming Soon!" with a nose emoji. A second update two days later on the December 18 simply stated: "Monday!", showing a picture of the physical product (not in mock-up form). On Monday, December 21, 2020, Magic Marker Art announced the release on Facebook stating: "The New Horrorible Kids Sticker Sheets and Sticker Pack are now up!" The sheets posted for $5 each (or a bundle of all eight for $35), and the vinyl sticker pack sold for $15 each. The combined releases contained five characters from S1, one character from S3, one character from S4, and two characters from S5. The Chained KANE character is absent from the S'n'S release.









In early February, 2021, Magic Marker Art took to social media to announce several news HK Enamel Pins, that would eventually include three new characters to the Enamel Pin format, a reworked character, several updated characters, and a few restocks. All released in April, 2021. On February 2nd and 3rd, Pingitore posted images of two new HK1 pins for card characters 2a ELMER Street and 9a Beetle BRUCE, respectively. Card character 1a Momma's BODY was reworked (see further below); 3a PIA Soup, 4a Chain SAUL, 6a Masked MICHAEL, and 17a PENNY Wise were all restocked with a double-stacked header added to the card backer; 5a HAL Rasier was increased in size, had a slight color change, and a double-stacked header added to the card backer; and 28a Tarman CARMEN was restocked with no changes.





On February 4th, 2021, Pingitore posted the enamel pin color chart for the new 1a Momma's BOYD character. The reworked pin for 1a Momma's BOYD is greatly different than the 2016 version, having a hinged mask, a different shine to the machete blade, the puddle below the character being removed, and a double-stacked header added to the card backer. On February 5th, Pingitore announced a new pin for HK4 character 46a SID Distic. Enamel pins for 50a Edgy EDDIE, 56a ART Apart, HK5 91a Chained KANE, and 110a Uber UTER were all restocked, with no changes.





It is fun to point out that the Horrorible Kids logo has a Skull dotting the 'i's muchlike the beloved 1985 film title The Goonies, except Pingitore has added a cross bone for the body of the 'i's as well.
