Fantastic to at last see the Dracula glove puppet. Was this the one that was on ebay? There was no photo of the glove puppet,so I emailed the seller and he said that ebay wasn't letting him upload the photo,so he was going to send me a photo,never heard anything back and a day before the auction ended the puppet was taken off.I was going to put a good price on it too.Oh well! perhaps they got a good offer on it.Thank you so much for uploaded the photo.

Dont remember these! I only recall the little bag of puff like things that had a picture of an elephant on the front, think they were 5p and also Space Raiders and Ringos (ahh the days before Walkers became the top crisp!

Just googled IPC and 2000ad came up and as you can see from my signature that looks like a contender.
I started getting 2000ad circa 1982, that to me seems a little late for horror bags?



Been thinking about it (I need an answer now!) but I can't really remember getting freebies from 2000ad that and the date I started getting it make me doubt this option.

One other thing is that my parents used to shop at the wholesale cash & carry and once did buy me and my sister a whole box of either bats or bones.
Could it have come from there, within the box?

Problem solved, someone over on "The Cobwebbed Room" has stated that they thought they got this set of stickers with "Plug" comic (spin off from "The Bash Street Kids") and as I've already stated on the forum, I used to get Plug from issue 1 in 1977.
