It’s the 9th of October and it’s my annual reminder that Spirit Halloween is a peddler of cheap shit and horribly racist and sexist costumes (and just some downright idiotic ones). And that’s even before you factor in the allegations of their parent company stocking goods which are claimed to use stolen designs. I mean, …

Over the past weekend, I walked into a Party City to kill some time and see if there was any creepy-Birthday related supplies as a last minute celebration of a particular bat-winged DJ I know. And, despite it not even being August, there was a section that had been cleared out, plastered with orange wallpaper …

Just like last year, we have an important update about El Hijo del Santo. Sadly he is retiring due to spine injuries that will prevent him from wrestling anymore. On the plus side, the injuries are not severe enough to keep him from leading a normal life. Let’s look back on his career with the …

It’s Free Comic Book Day!
Once again, it’s time for all of us to come together and support our friendly neighborhood comic book stores. Why? Because they provide a valuable service to fans by offering plenty of comic books, horror magazines, DVDs, toys, models and so much more! Their contributions to the economy don’t hurt, either. Thanks to the Free …

The 5th Annual GdL16 Easter Egg Hunt
Just like last year, your goal is to find all articles that reveal hidden “Easter Eggs” in the disc being reviewed that are hidden among other articles without any hidden goodies. The total amount of Easter Eggs is fairly low this year, but new players can check out the previously-linked installment for more fun. Let …

Record Store Day Is Coming!
Record Store Day 2014 is scheduled for April 19th and boy have things changed since we first started promoting it here. Although I’m sure participating stores will have some sort of freebies available, most of the focus now seems to be on limited edition vinyl releases that are being made available for purchase on the …

Papercraft Jiangshi
As much as I enjoyed last year’s Jiangshi inspired papercraft project, I wanted to focus on something a little more traditional this year. But it turns out that finding downloadable Chinese hopping vampire papercraft models online is much harder than one might think. I had originally wanted to showcase this cool jiangshi papercraft, but was …

Creepy Santa Doll
I know that I’ve been relying on music videos based around the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society’s Christmas albums over the last few years, but I’m in the mood for a change. As much as I love their work, I don’t want to give away to much of the HPLHS’ hard work away. With this in …
