Micro-Shock Trading Cards

What Are They?:

The Micro-Shock Trading Card Series is a homage to the Fright Flics Trading Card Series that was released by Topps Trading Cards in 1987. The series featured pictures from horror films which had painfully unfunny captions under them. On the reverse side it posed the question "Did it Ever Happen?" with a brief fictional paragraph of some strange supernatural occurrance. The series also included the typical sticker/puzzel cards, and the trademark pink-death chewing gum. Movies that were featured in the series were A Nightmare on Elm Street , A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 - Freddy's Revenge , A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - Dream Warriors , Alien , Aliens , Poltergeist , Poltergeist II , The Fly , Fright Night , Pumpkinhead , Ghostbusters , Predator , and American Werewolf in London .

Because our very own webmaster has enough free time in the day to fart around in Photoshop for hours on end, and his absolute love of the trading card set, he decided to take it upon himself to come up with Micro-Shock trading cards. Why the hell not? It adds some uniqueness to the site, gives you something to look at other than miles of text. So he started whipping them up and putting them in handy dandy PDF files for people to download and print out to the hearts content.

On this page you will find a central location of all the trading card sheets to date.
