Vile Villains Halloween Candy

On May 31, 2013, the Jelly Belly Candy Company announced a new special edition line of their gourmet jelly beans--the Disney Vile Villains Candy Packs featuring Cruella De Vil, Ursula, Captain Hook, and the Evil Queen. They began shipping to stores as early as July so as to be available for Halloween sales.

Each villain package weighs 1.2 ounces and contains her (or his) own assortment of jelly beans. The Queen's Evil Apple Mix is made up of green apple, red apple and sour apple. Note: We first saw this Queen-at-cauldron artwork in 2009 at Disneyland on park maps and banners during Halloween.

• Treasure Chest Mix: berry blue, berry smoothie, orange sherbet, tutti-fruitti and very cherry.
• Cruella Collection: coconut, very cherry and wild blackberry.
• Lost Souls Mix: berry blue, berry smoothie, blueberry, island punch and sour grape.

The display box holds 24 packages. Evil Apple shared a caddy with Treasure Chest; Cruella was packed with Lost Souls.

Old Witch Journal

Witch on cover. Lined paper inside. Spiral-bound. Image and text courtesy of guest contributor Kurt Raymond...

This "Old Hag" journal was designed by Disney licensee Michel & Co. I believe they contracted with the Disney Company throughout the 1990s. Their focus was on character die-cut photo frames, scrapbooks, plaques, snowglobes, novelties, and even pins and stickers. Their biggest license was for Winnie-the-Pooh, but they of course had others as well.

See a Snow White journal by Michel & Co. in another Archive entry.

Contemporary 'Snow White' Halloween Masks

Earlier this year, a number of Halloween-themed Disney masks were spotted online at various UK-based websites. Like most paper masks, they come with eyeholes and are secured to the face with an attached elastic band. One seller is offering them for £3.49 a piece.

An officially licensed series, the Snow White gang is represented by the Old Witch, Evil Queen, and the princess herself. (Also available are vampire Mickey, witch Minnie and wizard Donald.)
