UnBoxing the First Loot Fright

Published

on

Subscriptions boxes have become a big part of the nerd community as a by product of the internet age, but you already know this. Boxes have been around for some time and while there have been a few made specifically for horror fans, they have come with mixed results. So it was only a matter of time before Loot Crate, the undisputed big dogs of subscription boxes, finally made their own horror themed box. With the launch of Loot Fright they have outdone themselves in sending horror fans awesome and exclusive items. So lets open this box and see whats inside!

Trick R’ Treat T-shirt

First thing I saw was this awesome Trick R’ Treat shirt. Not only was this an awesome design I immediately wore (hence the wrinkle in the photo) but it fit really well, which for a chunky guy like myself is always a sigh of relief. Art by Chris Wahl.

Evil Dead 2 Super Emo Scenes Figurine

This was one of my fears with subscription boxes, figurines. I already have too many with no where to display and I didn’t want one that I didn’t love. That quickly went away with this bloody and adorable little fucker:

So in love with this. Perfectly bloody and the cuteness factor is high. Designed by artist J Salvador from the Super Emo Scenes line of pop culture artwork. This guy quickly found his place on my desk.

Night of the Living Dead VHS Pillow Case

This comfortable pillow case was a big win for me. Though it doesn’t match my current Jurassic Park sheets (because I am a man child) it quickly found its place in my living room. Prefect for horror-marathons and naps.

Night of the Living Dead Reproduction Lobby Cards

I’m a huge sucker for lobby cards, I will collect them for modern films from theaters and have stacks from my theater days. This own is great as it capture one of my favorite scenes from NOTLD. Will be looking to get a frame from the dollar store to put in my bathroom real soon.

Exclusive Mummy Pin

Now I am not big on pins. With my day job they tend to break or go missing pretty quick. That being said, I really like this design. Add in the fact that it glows in the dark and my new love for this crate I bet i could find a non-work relate jacket to slap it on.

Nightbreed Graphic Novel

I am really excited to crack this bad boy open. Nightbreed quickly became one of my favorites once the Director’s cut was released years ago and I have been hungry for more content from this world.

20% Crypt TV Coupon

Rounding off the box is a coupon for 20% off at the CryptTV merchandise store. I love CryptTV so this is a cool opportunity to get merch from them.

That is it for this crate! Gotta say, I loved everything in it. I am super excited for December’s box as they already announced its going to have Krampus and H.P. Lovecraft themed items. Order today and use the code HALLOWEEN25 to get 25% off! Today is the last day to get it and they won’t charge until it comes out, SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!

‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3’ Is a Go with Enhanced Budget and New Characters

Published

on

Winnie the Pooh 3

Wow, they’re churning things out fast! The upcoming sequel “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3” is officially moving forward, promising an expanded narrative with a larger budget and the introduction of beloved characters from A.A. Milne’s original tales. As confirmed by Variety, the third installment in the horror franchise will welcome Rabbit, the heffalumps, and the woozles into its dark and twisted narrative.

This sequel is a part of an ambitious cinematic universe that reimagines children’s stories as horror tales. Alongside “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” and its first sequel, the universe includes films such as “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare”, “Bambi: The Reckoning,” and “Pinocchio Unstrung”. These movies are set to converge in the crossover event “Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble,” slated for a 2025 release.

Winnie the Pooh Poohniverse

The creation of these films was made possible when A.A. Milne’s 1926 children’s book “Winnie-the-Pooh” entered the public domain last year, allowing filmmakers to explore these cherished characters in unprecedented ways. Director Rhys Frake-Waterfield and producer Scott Jeffrey Chambers, of Jagged Edge Productions, have led the charge in this innovative endeavor.

The inclusion of Rabbit, heffalumps, and woozles in the upcoming sequel introduces a new layer to the franchise. In Milne’s original stories, heffalumps are imagined creatures resembling elephants, while woozles are known for their weasel-like characteristics and a penchant for stealing honey. Their roles in the narrative remain to be seen, but their addition promises to enrich the horror universe with deeper connections to the source material.
