It feels wrong to talk about Halloween Barbies without talking about some of the pop-culture tie-in collectors Barbies that feel like they have Halloween spirit.

For example, in 2000 Barbie and Ken were Gomez and Morticia Addams in this Addams Family giftset.

This was in fact the giftset that headlined the October issue of Barbie Bazaar that year.

I love how they made Gomez Ken shorter than Barbie by having him in this exaggerated power stance.

In 2001, they revisited the vibe with The Munsters giftset, featuring Barbie and Ken as Lily and Herman Munster.

Barbie has already dressed as (fittingly, given how many witch costumes she's had over the years) Samantha from Bewitched at least twice.

The first of these in the purple box was released in 2001, while the second was released in 2010.

The costumes are extremely similar, but Barbie herself has a different face.

"Nature’s Pitfall"

“Northern Pitcher Plants (Sarracenia purpurea) are carnivorous, allowing them to survive in nutrient-poor bog environments. Here there is no rich soil, but rather a floating mat of Sphagnum moss. Instead of drawing nutrients up through its roots, this plant relies on trapping prey in its specialized bell-shaped leaves, called pitchers. Typically, these plants feast on invertebrates – such as moths and flies – but recently, researchers at the Algonquin Wildlife Research Station discovered a surprising new item on the plant’s menu: juvenile Spotted Salamanders (Ambystoma maculatum). This population of Northern Pitcher Plants in Algonquin Provincial Park is the first to be found regularly consuming vertebrate prey. For a plant that’s used to capture tiny invertebrate, a juvenile Spotted Salamander is a hefty feast!”
