A is for All Hallows' Eve - Haunted House

I found this among a pile of similar press-out card booklets, in a charity shop (Help the Aged/Age Concern) back in the summer, from the size of the pile they were being sold as clearance, probably donated by Poundland when they took over 99p Stores, and taking a while to filter through to the shops.

99p Stores; Card Board; Card Board Toys; Card Buildings; Card Flats; Cardboard; Cardboard Flat Figures; Dr. Frankenstein's Monster; Ent; Hag; Halloween Flats; Halloween Toys; Haunted House; Haunted Tree; Headless Zombie; Knife-Murderer; Living Tree; Make Up Card Models; Make Your Own; Mummy; PMS; Serial-Killer; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; Vampire; Witch;
Branded to PMS, there was also a nice football one with whole teams (larger scale I think?) which I intended to go back for, but the next day they had all gone, no doubt some feeBay bottom-feeder or car-bootie bog-troll saw a profit in them?

The reason for getting this one wasn't the simplistic card building, but the six stand-alone press-out figures which cover the main tropes of horror characters - clockwise from headless; zombie, vampire, Dr. Frankenstein's monster, knife-murderer/serial-killer, witch/hag and mummy.

Two other figures complete the line-up of 'usual suspects' a much-alive skeleton and a ghost, although both are to be slotted into the finished model rather than having independent bases,  while a living tree ('Ent'!) is another useful stand-alone . . . 40p the lot - bargain!

I may try to get some spare game-board slotted stands (for cards) as their press-out stands actually get in the way of the artwork - at least four designs commonly available.
