Editor’s Note — Scare Glow was a villainous character from the Masters of the Universe (MOTU) franchise. In 1987, Mattel added the “evil ghost of Skeletor” to its line of MOTU toys. The figure featured a glow-in-the-dark body, purple cape, Scythe of Doom, and a wound on its head. It now commands hundreds of dollars on the secondary market due to its relative scarcity.
