Horror Movie Survival Kit
Mancrates contacted me about doing a post on what I’d want in a Horror Movie Survival kit. Though these kits are marketed primarily as gifts for men they’re equally fun for women. Especially for those of us that like our gifts presented in something like a crate, which can be repurposed into cooler things than bows and wrapping. Like sharpened […]
My Little Sea Monster!
And now for the answer to what aquatic critter necessitated the breeding of black worms, red wigglers and, eventually, night crawlers. Dun dun dun… *drum roll* My little sea monster! Isn’t he adorable? His noble name is – Agrathax the Axolotl Hailing from the chilly, spring fed waters of Mexico, these cute wee nuggets are cold water critters […]
Holy Squirming Hordes, Batman!
In a previous post I mentioned having to re-do some aquascaping to accommodate a new aquatic critter. These are not that critter, but these are necessary to feed the critter. They are…black worms! Technically, they’re not black – they’re more of a reddish brown as you can see in the pic. They’re a good treat or food source for […]
Revamped Display Tank!
This is what happens when Lain and I have a bit of vaca time – fiddling with tanks LOL Since there’s a new aquatic on his way to our home (you’ll see when I get him, he’s super rad!) I had to switch my 20g display tank into a home for him. Since this particular beastie doesn’t like bright […]
Movie Review ~ Lake Placid: The Final Chapter (Horror)
Title: Lake Placid: The Final Chapter Director: Don Michael Paul Genre: Horror, creature feature Rating: 4 bats Okay, I admit it – I’m a fan of the Lake Placid franchise so my review is probably bias. This movie is like the others in the series – simple, fun crocodile doom! It takes place after the last one and the […]
Book Review ~ Against the Druries ~ Steampunk / Sci-fi / Fantasy
Title: Against the Druries (League of Elder) Author: Ren Garcia Genre: Sci-fi, fantasy, steampunk Another fabulous adventure from Ren Garcia! Ren’s characters are visceral, vivid, three dimensional beings who spring to life on the page. They’re all flawed, interesting and exciting. He gives the reader enough to know the characters and yet, not know them so completely that they […]

Movie Review ~ Frankenfish (Horror)
Title: Frankenfish Director: Mark A.Z. Dippé Genre: Horror, creature feature Rating: 4 bats This quirky killer fish movie deserved a better title – something more exciting to fit with the tone the movie set. The blurb is also a bit off, as they portray someone (not going to say which, you’d have to watch it) as a main […]
Review ~ Blackout by Katherine Wynter ~ Horror
Title: Blackout Author: Kathrine Wynter Genre: Horror, zombies Rating: 5 bats So, have to say, though I love zombie movies I find most zombie novels and novellas leave a lot to be desired. Hence, I’m fairly picky about zombie reads. Blackout is a fantastic story that annihilates the genre barriers of zombie fiction and takes the reader on a […]
