Over the Christmas period last year, while making some new friends in the Box 23 threads over at X-Entertainment.com (Not a porn site), I happened to mention in passing an idea I had for a childrens version of the Saw movie series. The storyline in this version featuring a young schoolchild in the role of [...]

Ok, I failed to keep this updated, but don’t worry I’ll ninja edit a post in here soon!

Sometimes after school or early on a Saturday morning, I would turn the television on to watch the childrens shows on the ITV channel. ITV over the years had a number of shows based on creepy ideas made fun, from the puppets of The Spooks of Bottle Bay which was intended for small children, to [...]

A lot of crisps in have been released in the UK that play on designs, several of them also released in the US. I’m sure a lot of people will recall a point in the 90’s where Walkers crisps bought out crisps with images of Looney Tunes characters printed on them, or know of the [...]

What would Halloween be like without the thought that somewhere it was possible a witch would be concoting a potion in a black cast iron cauldron or a mad scientist was combining fizzing chemicals in to a dastardly formula? Well, ok, it would pretty much be the same, but now you know that you want [...]

As I stated in earlier entries this month, the ASDA chain of supermarket was the first to really set itself up as stocking for Halloween, their aisles featuring a small selection of costumes and random decorations for Halloween parties. Now other stores have begun to catch-up, and already start sales in some places. Halloween doesn’t [...]

I don’t know if you recall, but back in April I ran a piece dedicated to our good friend, Dan, after he won the Easter egg hunt. The piece in question focused around Monsters in the UK
in a brief overview of some of the more common legends. At that time, the lovely Dio raised [...]

Some people might consider this a cop out, but it’s actually something I’ve been meaning to do for a while. You see, there are several webcomics that I adore, from fun fantasy strips like 8-bit Theatre, Order of the Stick and Looking for Group to very artistic and unique comics like A Softer World, with [...]

Ok, so Day 3 was delayed. In part this was because I was having a hard time deciding how to write this entry for best effect – an internal arguement over which was better, location or individual, that I still debate and will continue to wonder afterwards – and another part, I just felt lazy [...]

The first place in my hometown to display even a passing interest in Halloween this year wasn’t the toy stores or card shops, but the ASDA supermarket, who started to dedicate an aisle to the festivities at the start of September. It was only by passing one day that I chose to look inside, and [...]

Growing up as a kid of the late 80’s/early 90’s, wrestling was a big thing. British professional wrestling was dying off our TV schedules and tours were becoming fewer and fewer, seemingly becoming more or less ignorable until the US re-ignited the interest.
The major player was, of course, the then World Wrestling Federation, which [...]

OMG! Did anyone NOT see the show on Monday. Seriously, it’s hard to believe it’s only three weeks until Halloween Hackfest 2008 pay-per-view. The commentary team of Brain and Beej are already talking up the ordering process (I’m already paid up! Had to use Mom’s Visa and something from the kitty – I chose the [...]

I’ve put this to a couple of my fellow bloggers and friends already, but thought this might be a fun concept to get as many people involved in as possible.
The Halloween season sees a lot of our favourite characters and creatures coming out to play, and for a short time we get to revel in [...]
