Oh, the Horror-ible!

Arriving on September 19, 2018 as the second series of that calendar year, Oh, the Horror-ible! featured horror and sci-fi themes in the themed era of Garbage Pail Kids. Topps had initially solicited horror gags from artists in late December 2017 before folding in a science-fiction component the following month, resulting in a checklist that grew beyond the previous 180 cards to a full 200-card base set. Built around twin A and B character stickers with era-specific groupings such as an eighties horror subset, the run delivered parodies of silver-screen monsters and television chills, featuring characters like Joyless JASON, Unfriendly FREDDY, Beetle BRUCE, and Shining SHEILA. Packaging art came from veteran series artist John Pound, while Colin Walton handled the layout design.

Distribution covered both specialized hobby shops and general retail aisles, with standard foil packs carrying eight stickers at a suggested retail price of $1.99. Regular Hobby boxes and Hobby Collector Edition boxes both came packed with 24 eight-card packs, shipping eight boxes to a case, though Collector packs trimmed the sticker tally to seven whenever a special insert dropped. For retail buyers, Target offered gravity feed boxes, while department shelves stocked a distinctive Value Box, commonly known as a blaster, constructed with contours and illustrations meant to resemble a crypt. That blaster box front displayed Pound's rendering of Nasty Nick and held five packs of eight cards, accompanied by three exclusive Bathroom Buddies stickers from a dedicated six-card insert run.

Retail and regular hobby packs each yielded green Puke borders at a rate of one per pack, but Collector boxes swapped those for black Bruised borders alongside exclusive blue Spit and red Bloody Nose parallels. The series introduced purple Jelly parallels, while deeper hobby pulls featured Fool's Gold borders at 1:44 packs and printing plates at 1:1320 packs. Production changes added an unusual twist for completists when the Phlegm Splatter parallel was officially cancelled for Target gravity feeds in June 2018, but the cards surfaced anyway inside retail blaster boxes. Standard inserts provided further hunting across formats, including ten Trick or Treat cards seeded 1:3 in hobby and gravity feeds, a twenty-card Classic Monsters set exclusive to fat packs, and ten Horror Film Poster Stickers inserted into collector boxes.

Base sticker autographs appeared across the 200 base cards, numbered to 25 copies each at odds of 1:103 hobby packs. Collector boxes were the sole home for manufactured patch cards, which covered twenty subjects and carried print runs of 50. Sketch cards brought fresh novelties to the 1:248 hobby odds as well, offering a 58-card Artist Sketch Cards subset with new coffin-shaped blanks alongside familiar garbage-can die-cuts, while three-panel triptych cards stepped in to replace the older two-panel panoramic sketches.
