HALLOWEEN COSTUMES THAT WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH OR CRINGE

Read Now

Halloween is right around the corner, so I figured it would be a great idea to cover some Halloween costumes I found on Pinterest that make me laugh or cringe. Let me know if you laughed or cringed for each of these in the comments.

SHARKNADO - CRINGE

There was always something so ridiculous to me about the whole Sharknado franchise. It was hard for me to believe that people actually thought the idea was plausible enough to warrant one movie, let alone a whole series.

This costume may be great for fans of puns and of the series. Overall, it looks hard to walk in and itchy! I cringed when I saw this. What did you do?

PUMPKIN PI - LAUGH

This is such a funny idea to me, especially if you're a math teacher. It is witty and easy to put together.

I laughed when I saw it because it is "punny" but not in a "dad joke" way, at least not to me. I don't find it to be corny, I guess.

What do you think? Do you like this pumpkin pi costume?

GRANDMA SITS ON PUPPY - CRINGE

A fat joke, old person joke, and animal neglect joke rolled into one, this whole outfit makes me uncomfortable to say the least.

When I look at this, it just makes me think that this is something the guy who thinks he is funny at your office would wear to a costume party. But maybe it is just me! What do you think?

CHICK MAGNET - LAUGH

To me, this is another punny AND funny costume that would be so good for Halloween.

This highlights your funny side and should be relatively inexpensive of a costume. It seems like it would be comfortable enough to wear to events or for photos, too.

KFC COLONEL & A BUCKET OF CHICKEN - CRINGE

I don't know why, but this just makes me cringe. Maybe it is just the ridiculousness of the colonel and how so many way overdo him, or if it is the fact that someone is literally dressed up like meat, like 2000s Lady Gaga.

Either way, I think this is a little cringe!

FACEBOOK TROLLS - LAUGH

Now that I'm at the bottom of the list, I see that I like puns as costumes. I think it is just because it seems more creative than just dressing up as a traditional character.

I like this one because trolls do exist all over the internet, and adding on the hair just made me cackle a little.

MY MOST FAVORITE TRUE CRIME YOUTUBERS

0 Comments

Read Now

If you're like me, you enjoy listening and learning about true crime cases on YouTube or through podcasts. Today, I figured I would share a few of my favorite true crime YouTubers and share their channels so you might check them out.

These are in no particular order, by the way!

BAILEY SARIAN

If you're looking for a beauty guru who is obsessed with true crime cases like you, Bailey Sarian in your gal. She has a light-hearted demeanor, but still manages to cover the cases seriously and respectfully.

Her series is called Murder Mystery and Makeup. She creates amazing looks while covering cases.

KENDALL RAE

Kendall Rae is a fantastic true crime and mystery YouTuber who has a heart for supporting various causes. She often creates campaigns where viewers can submit t-shirt designs that she sells in her shop. The proceeds go to various causes!

She also tries to work very closely with the family of the victims she covers.

DANELLE HALLAN

While Danelle has covered murder mystery cases, she seems to be most passionate about covering the cases of missing people and children. This is certainly an amazing feat, as sometimes the media can neglect to cover missing cases. Her dedication to covering these cases is amazing, so she is someone to check out!

BROOKE MAKENNA

Brooke is really passionate about covering true crime cases. I will say that she has a rather breathy tone to her voice, which may be off-putting to some. However, I think she does a great job of adding details, photos, and more.

Check her out, especially for the more interesting cases you may not have heard before.

ELEANOR NEALE

Eleanor has been one of my favorites from the beginning of my true crime obsession on YouTube. She has such an amazing gift for story-telling. It is so easy to pop one of her videos on while you're working, exercising, or doing anything you need to kill time with. She also has fantastic makeup, but doesn't do it during the video like Bailey, so check her out!

BELLA FIORI

Bella is also one of my favorites. She covers a lot of unsolved mysteries, which is cool because she talks a lot about her different theories and encourages her fans to think up theories that could mean bringing some resolution to the case. Her accent (and Eleanor's by the way) is soothing, so I love just popping this on while I'm working or doing some other task!

THE BEST HORROR GAMES I'VE EVER PLAYED

Because I used official game covers and art from the game company: Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.

I think the only horror-related thing I’ve never talked about here on the blog are horror games. I love them, and I absolutely love watching play-throughs of them, especially those done by some of the jumpier YouTubers.

So, I thought in this blog post I could talk about some of the games I and/or my husband have played that I would say are the best horror games out there.

1: LEFT 4 DEAD/LEFT 4 DEAD 2

This game is an OG favorite of mine. It follows four survivors who are trying to work together to get to a safe zone while fighting their way through the zombie apocalypse. My favorite characters in the first game are Zoey and Francis. If you ask any of my friends who have seen me play, they’ll tell you that I’ve made up a love story between the two!

In the second, my favorite character is Ellis. He’s a country boy working alongside three other players who are also trying to escape the grasps of brain-hungry zombies.

The game features regular zombies as well as special ones, such as spitters, boomers, smokers, hunters, jockeys, tanks, and witches. I like that each character has their own background, and the weapons options are great.

2: BENDY AND THE INK MACHINE

I watched this playthrough partially before Jonathan and I bought it for PS4. It basically follows a guy who returns to his old animation studio to find that no one is there. He quickly finds that the animations he used to love have come alive and taken over the lives of some of his old coworkers.

He must find a way out of the animation studio, but creepy things continue to happen as he scurries through the maze.

3: THE EVIL WITHIN 2

Probably one of the most difficult horror games I’ve ever played, this game has an amazing storyline and awesome quests that will leave you rattled as you continue to fight through the map.

The story follows Sebastian, an ex-detective who learns that his daughter – who he thought had died in a house fire – was inserted into a STEM program as its core. He must enter the program to find his daughter. Because she is used as the core and is missing, the makeshift town ends up falling apart and spawning nightmarish creatures Sebastian must fight. The story features three or four main “bosses” you must defeat in order to return to the real world with Sebastian’s daughter.

4: THE WALKING DEAD

So, I had this game a long time ago on my computer. It features Lee and Clementine, a newly-arrested man and a small child with no guardian respectively. They work together, alongside some other stragglers, to find safety during the zombie apocalypse. I think I like this game because it combines a unique fighting style with decision-making that impacts the result of the game.

It has several parts, and the art style is amazing. Would definitely recommend if you haven’t tried it yet.

5: DYING LIGHT

Finally, this zombie game is one of the best in the genre. Jonathan (my husband) loves this game and has replayed it several times). You play as Kyle Crane (mainly referred to as Crane), who is a GRE operative who has come to an island to do recon.

You meet people who live in this tower, some of whom are sick, and you need to get a temporary medication that will keep them from turning. Again, there are special zombies and regular infected. You have to work through the game to help save the people on the island.
