Halloween Packaging Day 26 -- Hostess Scary Cakes

In 2004, Hostess designed one of their best Halloween themed boxes.  The characters on this Scary Cakes box could have walked out of an episode of Groovie Ghoulies.  I wonder who the artist was?  I'd love to see their prelim character designs.  It's a shame Hostess didn't create an animated commercial with these ghouls.  

Vampy

Boris

Grim

Wolfie

There! Now they have names. You're welcome. 

The back isn't as interesting as the front but here it is in case anyone was wondering.

Great all around and might be in my freezer at this moment.

How does Vampy keep such a trim figure eating those things??

I'm a sucker for those Scary Cakes. Haven't had any this year yet though.

I didn't see any of the Halloween themed Hostess products this year. Apparently they introduced a new one called Frankencakes.
