To Halloween or not to Halloween...

This blog post is about to get seriously biased to one costume site: www.partycity.com
I googled fun halloween costumes, since it is right around the 9 day corner, and this site was the first result.

After looking through their collection of funny costumes I felt obliged to write a blog post to make sure all of you out there with a love of laughter are aware that it exists.

Gag costume #1. Ollie Ostrich costume:
This is possibly my all time favourite costume ever to exist. A friend of mine wore a horse version of this a few years back and it was absolutely hilarious.

Gag costume #2. Pregnant Cheerleader
Mildly offensive but no less funny, especially since it's a man's costume!

Gag costume #3. Inflatable morphsuit

I think whoever chooses to go out in this would likely have the funniest night ever in the whole existence of fun! I might get this. 

Gag costume #4. Peanut Butter Jelly Sandwich

As couples costumes go I'd say this is about as cute as it gets. Kudos to any man who agrees to wear something so corny! 

At this point I jumped over to www.escapades.co.uk

Gag costume #5. Stewie Griffin 

Who wouldn't want to be Stewie for a night, this costume is a tad on the creepy side but isn't that the point? 

Gag costume #6. Superhero Sperm

It's vilely inappropriate yet fantastically fun. Why not....

Gag costume #7. Groping Granny

Because grannies can be scary too 

(Sorry about the quality) 

Gag costume #8. Down for the count:

Although no one should get offended by this I'm sure everyone will have plenty of views a person stumbled into a club wearing this masterpiece of modern costumes. 

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed these wacky, wonderful costumes! Amy x

Horrors of terror!!

There are some terrible examples of horror films out there, the ones that rely solely on disgusting the audience as much as possible - which is sometimes fun to watch but I often find I just want to shower afterwards!

This list consists of 5 of my favourite horror films out there. Since Halloween is right around the corner we might as well delve into some scary shit and get in the spirit of scaring ourselves silly!


         1). Evil Dead (2013)
Rotten Tomatoes 63%
Setting - In a remote cabin in the middle of the woods; already we have a definite horror story, not many rom-coms start like this. Let's take things further, the weather sucks, when was the last time you saw a horror which took place in the middle of roaring summer? Well a good one anyway... The film is everything a modern horror should be, it's ful of blood & gore, almost everyone dies, the murderer is an unknown spirit of sorts and there's a tone of dead cats! I don't know if I was just so terrified because I watched it in an empty cinema (just me and my boyfriend) and the chairs kept creaking but whatever it was I couldn't even go to the toilet on my own by the end of it. No, seriously, I held it in until we got home and left the door open just in case...


2). The Descent (2006)
Rotten Tomatoes - 85%
OK, so some of you may be thinking,'is she for real?' & I understand. This is a questionable option. I can tell you in all honesty I absolutely shit myself at the same point every time I see this film; when the strange mutant creature pops up on the screen out of no where. Even though I don't understand what these creatures are, they still scare me quite a lot so this film deserves a place in my horrors of terror list.



3). Scream (1996)
Rotten Tomatoes - 76%
It's the ending! "My mom and dad are gonna be so mad at me!" Says Stu after learning Sid's rang the police. The whole film is full of cheesy one liners with a pinch of chilling suspense. It's a genius mix of comedy and horror and you can't not fall in love with Dewey the dumb cop! 



4). Halloween (1978)
Rotten Tomatoes - 98%
Mike Myers. Creepy child clown. Stab. Stab. Stab. Jamie Lee Curtis.  Mental asylum. Freedom. Stab. Stab. Stab. Death. Death. Death. Oh he's not dead. Trying again. No that didn't work either. Never mind. This is the ultimate slasher movie, it does not matter that it was made in 1978, that fact makes it all the more beautiful. It holds the kind of tense suspense that Hitchcock managed in his 'Psycho'. Interesting fact: Jamie Lee's mother Janet Liegh played Marion Crane in Psycho.


5). The Ring (2002)
Rotten Tomatoes - 72%
I kid you not, I watched this film 6-7 months ago in the middle of the night when my boyfriend was asleep, after the film I tried to go to sleep, suddenly, the red light on the TV started flickering and I almost cried! The well scene is so heart thumpingly tense I was 30 seconds away from a cardiac arrest before the climax finally hit. If you've seen that distressed child eerily jitter out of the TV you'll completely understand this films necessity in the top 5 horrors of terror.

I hope you enjoyed this list and that you all get scaring yourselves in the lead up to the scariest night of the year! Thanks, Amy x

American Horror Story: Freak Show – “Monsters among us” review.

There are many things in life which people consider to be an acquired taste, take marmite for instance the entire selling point of this product is ‘you either love it or you hate it’.  

American Horror Story (AHS) is definitely characterised as an acquired taste; I’m sure plenty of people have heard about it or watched a few episodes and thought ‘this is disgusting’ probably a natural reaction but these people are committing sins against art by ignoring the poetic beauty within the insanity.

The fourth season premiered last Thursday, it was pure brilliance, insane, ridiculous brilliance. The cast members this season delve into the world of a 1950’s freak show based in Jupiter, Florida. Admittedly I had my reservations at first, these days’ people aren’t considered freaks, they’re not relegated from society and mocked; because of this I believed the show would not achieve the horror it has managed in the past. However, it seems the big scare factor this season, much like Asylum, is human murder; killer clowns, freak show gang murder, daughter – mother murder. You name it, they’ve likely got it.

But back to that killer clown, that terrifying, sadistic, sporadically child-like killer clown. Need I go on? OK, he pops up during a romantic couples picnic, savagely stabs the man to death, kidnaps the young woman, takes her to his sewer based lair where there is also a young boy and shows them his toys. In a competition with Ronald Mcdonald and Pennywise the dancing clown I’d say AHS’s murderous maniac takes the gold for most disturbing.

One of the best aspects of AHS is that the actors change their characters in every season, we’ve seen Jessica Lange play the mother of a rapist ghost, a nun who runs a mental asylum, a head witch and now she adorns her glitz and glam to play Elsa, a German ex-patriot who runs the freak show in hopes of having her singing talents spotted. Evan Peters (the once rapist son) now plays Jimmy a boy with large webbed hands who uses his freakishness to pleasure housewives for extra money.

By far the most intriguing character comes in the shape of a Siamese twin; Sarah Paulson plays both Bette and Dot, a two headed woman who slaughtered their own mother. To be able to play two completely different characters emerging from the same body both perplexes and outstands me, give the woman an award!

Actual give the whole show an award, especially writer, creator and director Ryan Murphy for gracing us with this elegant portrayal of genuine horror. Love it or hate, but please appreciate it.

My Birthday Blog Post...

On the 1st of October I turned the dreaded 20! I thought perhaps something would happen, being that I'm no longer a teenager, I was sure some knitting needles would appear in front of me and that would continue to be my life.

But that didn't happen, I feel no older and 20 isn't too bad, 21 sounds fine but I think I might stop there. 21 forever seems like a good way to be.

As for the actual day I spent 9-12 in lectures, then I went on a 2 hour bus ride to get home so my parents could see me.

Sorry about the terrible quality of this fishy pictures but they wouldn't stay still or pose for me, socking I know...

The fish are a present from my brother and future sister-in-law, the goldfish I named first as he was there first, he is called The Great Depression; it's not hard to guess why... All he did for the first few days was lie underneath one of the plants looking suicidle.

We put his severe depression down to him being lonely, he had after all just gone from being in a tank of 50+ mates to being completely alone; well except from my giant face peering over the side of his bowl.

For this reason I went to purchase the Black Moor as soon as possible, I named her Cilla Black. This wasn't because I'm huge Blind date fan... It's the more obvious, 'this fish is black, I know I'll name her Cilla Black.' I know my imagination is impeccable.

On the left is a picture of me with the bag my mum bought me from River Island, it was £45 and I love it! It has wooly sides which is really in this season and it is HUGE.

I'm also holding one of the presents my boyfriend got me - jelly alcho shots which were from prezzi box and look delicious.

I left the cocktail kit he got me (also from prezzi box) at home but it's so fantastic; it has a cocktail shaker, the stirring spoon, a stainer for when you have fruit and stuff in your cocktails and a measuring shot thingy!

He also got me flowers which was sweet since no-one had ever bought me flowers before but I left them at home too...

The t-shirt I'm wearing is a present from the boyfs mum and is from River Island, a super comfortable vest! I have no  idea how much it was but obviously you can check on www.riverisland.co.uk.

She also got me and drew (the boyfriend) a 30 minute go-karting experience, my brother an dad ended up coming too and it was brilliant! We went with F1K Newcastle Indoor Karting. It's £22 for the 30 minutes and completely worth it. Although when you finish your arms and legs and back all ache loads and you feel like you've just ran a marathon you're sweating that much.

Thanks for reading, Amy.
