Food and Drink: Mr. & Mrs. Bones Cakes Tutorial

Firstly, I should point out that Valentine's Day is not really something I care about one way or the other. I don't think I've ever celebrated it, but I don't hate it either. It's just kind of....there. However, if you're going to mark the occasion, why not do so in horror-themed style? Or at least give the object of your affection matching skeleton cakes!

If you can't or have no wish to bake cakes, then don't worry, this entry is all about how to decorate store-bought slices! You can either decorate one of each, or two of the same depending on your relationship and, you can even customise the accessories to make them more personal to your darling devil. to top it off, they're really simple too!

Movies: Ghostbusters... 3!

Yes! You're reading it right, little monsters!

After all these years, a 3rd sequel of the famous "Ghostbusters" movie is going to be released.

And as the previous ones, it'll be directed by Ivan Reitman.

The cast? Some of the names are Anna Faris, Eliza Dushku and... of course, Bill Murray!

It's going to be released the 25th of December, 2012. Such an awesome Christmas gift don't you think? ;)

As you all will have noticed by now, I'm pretty excited about this :P Such a classic of my childhood coming to life again!

And you, little monsters? What do you expect from this threequel? ;)!

Commercials & Advertising: General Mills Monster Cereals

Another post about ads; this time, General Mills' monster cereals! Since I was only in the US between 6 weeks and 4 years old, I never got to have these, but I -have- seen the adverts, which are cheesy and cute! Why don't we have horror-themed cereals in the UK?!  *sad face* It's not made by General Mills, but I guess we have Sugar Puffs with the Honey Monster as their mascot. He's fairly weird and scary!

Tell 'em about the Honey, Mummy!

The General Mills monster cereals were/are:

Fruity Yummy Mummy

(Mummy)

Fruity Yummy Mummy makes your tummy go yummy! Heh hehheh!

Fruit Brute

(Werewolf)

Fruit Brute, with the hoooowling good taste of fruit!

I don't know who voiced Fruity Yummy Mummy or Fruit Brute, but whoever did FYM sounds like Wednesday 13 (or rather, he sounds like them)...Heh heh heh! Videos are after the cut. I've even included a Sugar Puffs commercial for you, because even though I don't like the product, the Honey Monster is my friend!

(Oh, and before you tell me how bad for children these cereals are and that they shouldn't be promoting them to children, you should know that a) I don't care, b) I assume children don't buy their own cereal, so it doesn't matter and, c) there are far worse things for you to worry about than sugary breakfasts, trust me.)

TV: Zombies take over GLEE!

Hey there little monsters!

It's been a long time since my last entry! I promise to start posting again more often~ ^^;!!!

Well, I bring you zombies this time!

You all may already know about the TV show called "Glee".

If not, this is a good time to take a look!

The last episode was dedicated to one of our favourite subjects....

braaaaaaaiiiiiiiinssssss!!!

Yeah! a zombie episode! *jumps of happiness*

And they did quite a good job! In the episode you can watch them covering songs like the Zombie's classic "She's Not There" or a super good mash-up of the famous "Thriller" by Michael Jackson and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Heads Will Roll". Of course, all performed in a zombie way, choreography included!

Nothing more to say, if you're curious, go & check out episode 2x11!

But because I'm thaaaaat great, I brought you the whole Thriller + Heads will roll performance in advance (~_^)

Enjoy, little monsters!

Commercials & Advertising: The Munsters Cheerios Commercial

"Big G Little o...Cheerios!"

I cannot believe I'd never seen this before today. Evidently, I was born a few decades after it aired, but still!

Fashion & Shopping: The Ultimate Horror Contact Lense Guide!

As I wear contact lenses quite often, I decided to share my secrets where I get my contact lenses! So this guide is ideal for those who are already planning their Halloween costume or who need something to oomph up their horror outfit for whenever! Or even for those who are wanting to be more GOREgeous!

I think it is best to start with the most common lenses, which are the normal sized ones. Younknowit offers a wide range of colour and crazy&horror lenses. Cheapest webshop I know of. They offer free worldwide shipping also. I am a youknowit-holic, so I've used their service without any kind of problems.

Now, let's talk about some seriously freaky contact lenses. And these lenses are for you, who are willing to pay a tiny bit more. If you are looking to really shock people with your horror themed look, there is a site that which makes such amazing theatrical lenses. 9mm SFX is a company that makes completely custom lenses. They require base curve and diameneter so they can make the lenses to fit your eye perfectly. 9mm SFX lenses are used in horror movies as well, since they are such good quality, and the gore effect they give. 

Needless to say, 9mm SFX is the ultimate source for your horror/undead/virus infected/vampire eyes.

Even though I am all for getting full eye contact lenses, if you are not used to wearing lenses, you will probably have problems getting them in.
