Product Review: The Stinky Candle Company

Scented Candles… they’re everywhere, some smell amazing as they are intended, some miss the mark but are still decent, and some are supposed to smell good… but don’t, seriously, how can you mess up pine?! but I digress, what if there are candles that are supposed to not smell good or smell strange ON PURPOSE? Well, you have The Stinky Candle Company the makers of candles that will get you thrown out of the house OR confuse the hell out of your dorm roommates. I want to thank Jeff and the other folks over at The Stinky Candle Company for sending over some of their candles for me to try out! The range of candles and wax melts they have in their arsenal of scents range from pleasant to Jesus Christ What The F*ck Is Wrong With You?! with some “Huh?” scents mixed in there… I have scents from each of those categories. First the more pleasant scents. My favorite

Spoiler Free Movie Review: The Last Voyage Of The Demeter

The Last Voyage of the Demeter, inspired by a single chilling chapter, “The Captain’s Log,” from Bram Stoker’s classic novel Dracula, opens in theaters today. Is it worth all the hype? I can answer that. Just a heads up, unlike the majority of our reviews, this one does feature mild spoilers. Directed by André Øvredal, the film tells the terrifying story of the merchant ship Demeter, which was chartered to carry private cargo—fifty unmarked wooden crates—from Carpathia to London, with the crew unaware of the horrors they contain. The impressive cast for the film includes Corey Hawkins (In the Heights, Straight Outta Compton) as Clemens, a doctor who joins the Demeter crew. Hawkins gives a fantastic performance, bringing empathy and wonder to the film. Aisling Franciosi (Game of Thrones, The Nightingale) plays Anna, a stowaway. Once her reality is revealed, your heart breaks for her, but at the same time, she emotes a strength like no one else aboard. Javier

Whiskey Review: Von Payne Black

That’s right, you didn’t read the title wrong, this is a whiskey review! Many of us like to let loose and enjoy our favorite slasher films while treating ourselves to a nice glass of spirits. The problem is, too many whiskeys and other spirits are pretty generic and too…normal. This also extends to their bottles. You want something you can display on your shelf to make guests go “What’s that?!” instead of “Hey I have that too.”. Allow me to introduce you to Von Payne Spirits with their signature whiskey, Von Payn Black. I want to give a big thank you to Von Payne for making this review possible by allowing me to responsibly try their whiskey! Von Payne Black is a whiskey that’s infused with black currants, a type of berry found in Europe. What makes this whiskey stand out among the rest is the bottle! This hefty decanter bottle is adorned with a metal Gargoyle stopper that is

Spoiler-Free Reviews: VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS and TO FIRE YOU COME AT LAST (Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival)

Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (1970) Director Jaromil Jires’ surreal horror fantasy Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (Czechoslovakia, 1970) is a wild trip that combines a teenage girl’s (Jaroslava Schallerová as Valerie) sexual awakening beginning on the first day of her first menstrual cycle with a vampire tale — but that is only a bare bones description. There is so much to this film and to spoil a single, fantastical frame of it is to do a disservice to first-time viewers. Those interested in the sociopolitical climate of the time should find plenty to read into with the film, while viewers whose interests lean more toward enjoying the splendidly strange — and often sensual — events unfolding as sheer entertainment will find a great deal at which to marvel. To Fire You Come at Last (2023) Writer/director Sean Hogan’s 43-minute horror short To Fire You Come at Last is a satisfyingly wicked slice of British folk horror. In
