Scary Banking: Halloween Checks

Sure the economy is in the toilet right now but why not have something to smile about whenever you whip out that check book? 
HALLOWEEN CHECKS.
You'll be surprised to find out that your options are limited, but there are a few out there.

I was actually pretty impressed that not only are there standards like jack o' lanterns, witches and bats, but also licensed properties like Elvira and M&Ms!

Check it out:
Available on ChecksInTheMail.com, this is one of four different M&Ms in costume you'll get in the pack.  You also get a costumed candies dressed as a king, a queen and a wizard. 
I guess they saved the Mummy, Frankenstein and Dracula pics for the Halloween candy. 
Extra points for having an actual M&M jack o' lantern in the upper left corner of every check.  Its nose is an "m"!  Brilliant!

StylesChecks.com has the "standards" I was mentioning earlier. 
You've got four different silhouette images per check.  A witch on green, bats on blue, jack o' lantern on orange, and spiders on purple. 
Though I love the images, I think I would just prefer all of the above on the orange.  Or more saturated colors.  I'm being nitpicky aren't I?  You can tell me. 

Also from StylesChecks.com, was the design that I was most surprised with:  Elvira.  Yes THAT Elvira. 

She she's good enough to work the Halloween Marathon bumpers and/or the beer campaign.  But checks?  An actual legal tender item?  But sure enough, there she is with all her -ahem- assets and there's even one with the lady of the night sprawled amongst pumpkins. 
Huh.  How about that?

Poke around on the internet enough and I'm sure you can find a price that's a few dollars higher or lower on most of these prints.

I'm seriously considering those super-hot Elvira checks!

By the way, I love the blog and it's totally getting me excited for next month.

Just found a really funny "What Not to Wear for Halloween 2009" blog post and I thought you might be interested.

Hey everyone, I'm sad to say I've done some searching and the only other check designs (besides the ones that you have poted) are Mickey Halloween. BUT I did find, after searching like crazy, some decent skull, Rob Zombie, and Nightmare Before Christmas designs!!! Here's the link for all you Jack and Sally fans:http://secure.checksinthemail.com/product.aspx?productid=2873 it also comes with a Awesome check book cover and adress labels if you get the set! Happy searching my fellow fanatics!
