Product Review: Wick LED Candle Light By Levenger
It’s that time of year when it’s getting cooler outside, rainy nights are becoming more frequent, and Halloween is on our minds. Two things that collide head-on this time of year are being cozy and getting spooky, and there’s no better way to experience this than reading spooky stories… by candlelight. Reading by candlelight is a fun experience, especially if you like reading classic horror like I do, but it can come with some drawbacks. The main issue is you’re dealing with an open flame, and sometimes fire is not our friend. This is where Levenger comes in with the Wick LED Candle. I want to first thank Levenger for sending over one of these candles for me to try! Levenger keeps readers, writers, and those who like to do a bit of thinking in mind with a wide range of products, the Wick LED Candle being one of their best sellers, and after trying it out, I can see

Game Review: ‘Vlad Circus: Descend Into Madness’
When I think of 2D Pixle-art games, I remember the old DOS games I played as a kid. As a kid, they were spooky, but after growing up and seeing the evolution of graphics, I now look back at how lame they were. Unfortunately, I still hold this view. Can Indisruption and Blowfish Studios’ psychological horror Vlad Circus: Descend Into Madness make me change my mind? In Vlad Circus: Descend Into Madness, players play the role of Oliver “Lazy Ollie” Mills, a former circus clown. Ollie has been invited to Petrescu Manor along with some former circus performers, with the hope of revealing the haunting truth behind the tragedy that struck Vlad Circus eight years prior. Now, on to the game itself! When it comes to the controls, they are pretty easy to remember the layout once you learn them, I only wish there was a better tutorial system for it though. The soundtrack is great and fits the narrative
