BAM! Box Exclusive “Frederick Charles” Fan Art Pins by artist, Brian Romero - Retail Value Unavailable

Next to Michael Meyers, Freddy Krueger may be my favorite horror movie villain! I was so pleased to see this creep in this month’s BAM! Horror box! This pin was the more mild and wider released of the three variations, but I would have been pleased with any of the three selections!

BAM! Box Exclusive “13” Fan Art Collection Art Print by artist, Oscar Van - Retail Value Unavailable

To be honest, I had no idea what this was referencing till I went to good ol’ Google! The prints’ art references the early 2000s movie, Thir13en Ghosts. There are two variants and I got the rarer of the two that is limited to only 500! The print is signed by the artist, Oscar Van, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity.

BAM! Box Kellen Goff aka “Freddy” of Five Nights at Freddy’s Signed 8x10 - Retail Value Unavailable

Guys, I have seen this Freddy character on merch at Target and Five Below, but this is the first time I really read up on the independent video game, Five Nights at Freddy’s. I like the concept that revolves around a Chuck E. Cheese-like restaurant Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. The first of the five games revolves around night time security guards trying to escape the homicidal animatronic characters at Freddy’s! This 8x10 is signed by the voice of Freddy, Kellen Goff, which is pretty neat if you are a big fan of the games and movies!

Imhotep’s Scarab Ring as worn by Boris Karloff by Dark Matter Props - Retail Value Unavailable

Finally, we have a recreation of the Scarab ring from 1932’s, The Mummy, by Dark Matter props. This may be one of my favorite props, in part because I can wear it. Universal Horror movies and Boris Karloff are legendary, so this is an awesome piece!

Verdict: This month’s BAM! Horror was alright, but not amazing. My favorite pieces were the Freddy Krueger enamel pin and the Scarab ring from The Mummy. I would love to see more wearable horror themed items in this box, whether it be other pins, t-shirts, hats, etc. Heck, even exclusive figures or Funko collectibles would be a fantastic change up! The signed photos and art are fine but aren’t terribly exciting. I am hoping the September Anniversary box and October Halloween box will be more energetic and thrilling in terms of their selections! Fingers crossed, fellow horror fiends!

To Wrap Up:

Can you still get this box if you sign up today? No, you will receive the October box. From Bam!:

Your box will ship on the 28th of every month. Please order by 5 pm on the 17th to get the current box.

Value Breakdown: This box cost me $26.99 + $7.99 shipping, which means that each of the 6 items in the box has an average cost of $5.83.
