The Vampire Huntress Series, L.A. Banks

Okay, so I have already mentioned that Stephen King is one of my all time favorite authors but another one of my favorites is L.A. Banks. I absolutely LOVE her and it's so sad that she passed away! I would have loved to meet her. 

I picked up her book Minion and started reading it and was hooked! I love the story line and I also love how even though it is a horror genre book, it also has this feel good aspect to it.  She had a true talent for immersing you in this world battling evil and the importance of our bonds with family and friends.

The first story tell's about Demali Richards who is a popular Spoken Word Artist and also hunt's vampires and Demons after the sun goes down. She is what is called a Neteru which is a Huntress who is born once every thousand years and tasked with vanquishing the world of evil. She is followed by a group of guardians who are her friends and family and are her diving force behind accomplishing what she is destined to do. 

I can not tell you how hooked on this series I was! I definitely recommend this series. 

T-Shirts!

I have been looking for different ways to turn what I love to do (my horror blog and creating things) into something I can do to earn money and one of the things I came up with is T-Shirt Designs! I love horror shirts so I figured I would start playing around with it and see what I come up with. 

By doing this, it allows me more time to work on my blog and create more spooky things to share with you. Your support means the world to me! Please share the links and help me grow this little idea into something wonderful!

Here is a screenshot of my first design. It is simple but I like it. I love different symbols and how they look. This campaign only has 4 Days and 10 Hours left! My goal is to sell 50 shirts :-)

Freaky Friday Finds: The Mysterious Package

This is one of the more interesting thing's I have found recently. A membership company called The Mysterious Package. You can immerse someone in a story with items they can see, touch, and smell. It's like a secret admirer with a story line. Their site say's "We sell stories you can touch".

The person you send it to doesn't know about it. They just start receiving packages. I think this is such an awesome concept! I would love it if I received it! 

Different things people can get in their Mysterious Package :-)

As soon as I can (and if I get accepted as a member) I will post a review but from what I can see, I LOVE the idea!

Nope, You Can't Kill Stephen King

From the time I was about 8 or 9 I have been hooked on Stephen King novels. When thing's were crappy, I would bury myself in one of his fantastically horrifying stories and forget what was going on at the time.

It was my escape.

My outlet.

My way of coping.

By 10 I had read IT and had a love hate relationship with Clowns. Another that I finished by 11, I think, was The Talisman. I have continued to be a fan for all these year's.

My goal is to finish all his book's and then continue as each new book comes out.

My even bigger goal is to one day meet Stephen King himself! His writing has been such a big important part of my life that it would be a great experience to get to meet the master of nightmare's!

Ahh, one day hopefully!

So you can imagine my curiosity when I found out there was a movie called You Can't Kill Stephen King! I could tell it wasn't going to be a major, high dollar film but I will give almost anything a try lol. As a kid I even watched Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes! It was super spoofy lol. I liked it though, it was pretty funny.

I thought You Can't Kill Stephen King was pretty good. Not a real deep story line but it had some slightly outrageous characters and humor by way of it's link's to Stephen King novels. I would recommend it if you like the spoofy comedy horror movies as well. I love a real good scare and a deep dark plot but I also enjoy the horror comedies as well.

Check it out and let me know what you think :-)!

Cockneys vs Zombies!

I know this is a little late but I really wanted to share this. For New Year's Even I stayed in with my daughter, my dad and my sister and her fiance and we had a little New Year's Eve party. I know not the most exciting but I was just ready for 2015 to be over lol!

 We decided to watch Cockneys vs Zombies. I have to admit, I honestly thought this was gonna be corny and not well done but it surprised me.

It's about some wanna be bank robbers who are trying to help their elderly relatives get out of a zombie outbreak in the East End of London. 

There were definitely some hilarious parts like this one

How could a bunch of bad ass, zombie killing elderly people not be awesome!!

I though it was a lot of fun. Watch it and let me know what you think! 

My New Favorite Zom-Com!

I hope everyone had a great holiday! I was extra busy and didn't get much done in the way of my blogging but I am working on that
.
So I have another on my favorite zombie movie list!! I absolutely LOVED A Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse! It was different then other zombie movies which made it unique.

                                                    

There were about 3 scenes that, I think made this movie. I won't give out too much on what they are because the effect is SOOO much better when you aren't expecting it!

1. The first is Brittney Spears lol and that is all I'm gonna say lol.

2. The second I will just call fun with The Granny hahaha.

3. The third and best is The Trampoline Scene and I won't go further then that cause it is just too funny to give away! I laughed so hard I cried! It has enough zombie threat to make it a good horror movie, not real scary but still in the genre, but it was definitely funny horror.

I should also add that it has some GREAT gore scenes!

This movie, too me, is a mix between American Pie and World War Z. I love a true scary Zombie movie as much as a Zom-Com (Zombie Comedy lol). This one is definitely worth the watch!

I would love to hear what you all think about The Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse :-)  

First Thoughts On Krampus

I remember when I was a kid and I watched Silent Night, Deadly Night and I loved it. Maybe because it show's a dark side to something so good and special. Not to ruin the holiday or try to make it evil. I love Christmas in all it's sweet gushiness but just as in life, for every yin is a yang..for every light there is a dark. Sometime's you need to see the dark to realize how good the light is.

So since Silent Night, Deadly Night I haven't seen any good horror movies centered around Christmas. I am super excited to see Krampus! Like a lot of scary movies, it is a cautionary tale. If you have those family members that fight, are cruel to each other, and are ungrateful you will enjoy watching this play out lol. In all seriousness, it definitely looks like some spooky good fun.

Krampus is written and directed by Michael Dougherty who most known for one of my favorites, Trick R' Treat. It's about a dysfunctional family that get's together for Christmas and `as the fights break out, the youngest son loses his belief in the magic and goodness of the holiday. This just happens to bring forth an ancient evil who is intent on punishing the non-believing family. Now they must try to band together to save themselves from the demon and all the Christmas icons he has turned into monstrous creatures to bring down the family. 

There is also real folklore behind this as well. Krampus come's from German roots. He is supposedly St. Nick's counterpart. While St. Nick rewarded kids for being good, Krampus would swat them and take them down to his lair. He would come out on December  6th or Krampusnacht (Krampus Night) and punish the bad kids. It is also Nikolaustag which is St. Nicholas Day where kids would look out their front door to see if the shoe or a boot they left out contained a present (for good kids) or a rod (for bad kids). I don't know about you but I think that might be extra motivation for kids to be good lol. I know I would!

I am gonna try to go see Krampus soon.

So does your family have any spooky Christmas tales?
