I want to give a big thank you to 6 Dollar Shirts for making this review possible!

Halloween Is Eternal With The Halloween Shirt Company!

You know us and we know you the reader and we all agree, Halloween does not come once a year, it’s all the time, it’s in our blood, it’s a lifestyle, and according to The Halloween Shirt Company, it’s Eternal, I can’t agree more and you can prove this is true with their products! I want to give a big thank you to The Halloween Shirt Company for making this review possible! The first thing about the shirts, I love is the art! The retro look that calls back to the old pulp magazines, the color choices used for the art encapsulates the colors of the Halloween season and even (for me anyway) wakes up a feeling of nostalgia of when October was all about Halloween and stores did not have Christmas decorations out yet. The shirts themselves are comfortable and the silk screening is good quality and looks like it’s made to last! I also like that the shirts

Light Up Your Costumes With Masks From Mask Frenzy

This pandemic won’t last forever, and when it’s over you’ll be sure as pumpkin spice and candy corn that there will be awesome Halloween parties again! So how can you stand out at these parties? Well maybe add some “WOW” to your costume with a mask from Mask Frenzy! I have to give a big shout-out to the cool folks at Mask Frenzy for making this review possible! What makes their masks unique if you have not already guessed is the use of El Cold Light technology (an LED light that looks like neon light strips), which highlights features of the mask and makes them pop! The masks I got are the Jason Voorhees and the Purge (in red). I’m sure the origins of the masks need no introduction but for the sake of decency here’s a quick refresher. The famed hockey mask belongs to the behemoth machete-wielding killer Jason from the “Friday the 13th” films after he ditched the

31 Days Of Anime Horror Part 31: ‘Ghost Stories’

It’s Halloween and it’s time to get into the spirit of the day and obviously nothing gets you into the Halloween mood better than horror. Unfortunately when it comes to most live-action horror films, there’s only so much that can be done and shown, but thankfully of all things, Anime can cross the line with story, gore, and intriguing storytelling. So for every day this month, I was featuring unique Animes that fit the horror genre that you can most likely find on any streaming service. It all came down to this special anime that gathered a cult following for the most surprising reasons; I’m talking about Ghost Stories. Ghost Stories (2000) is a show about a sister and her little brother who just moved into the town where their late mother grew up and started to attend the same school she did. They meet up with new friends and investigated the rumors of the old schoolhouse being haunted which

This Is Halloween: The Origins And History Of Our Favorite Holiday

Halloween is our favorite holiday, but have you ever wondered how it came to be? Let us fill you in. The holiday known as Halloween originated with two separate festivals, the Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced Sow-en) and the Christian’s All Saints Day. Celts from Britain and Ireland celebrated “Samhain” (Summer’s End) as far back as 2,000 years ago. This was the time when they held festivals celebrating the dead, the harvest, and the beginning of the new year (November 1st). The Celts believed that on the night before the new year the veil between the world of the living and the world of the dead was at its thinnest. On that night it was believed that the dead returned as ghosts. At sun-down people donned costumes and masks, huge bonfires were lit, people gathered around with many dancing around the fire, as sacrifices were made. All to pay tribute to the Celtic deities. After the celebration, each family took
