New Vlog!!
Hello there my dear horror buffs!
So first off I'm extremely sorry for going MIA for such a long period of time but a lot was going on in my life (mostly school, graduating and finally working) and just didn't have the time to sit down and do a proper blog post, plus I really didn't want to half-ass it and post nonsense just for the sake of blogging something because I believe you guys and girls deserve the very best.
Thus my new announcement is that I back for real this time and I will also be posting more vlogs just because it will be much easier for me to do with the new pc I have and I will be able to give my opinions on horror related stuff in "real-time" rather than waiting a few days to put up a written post and plus you all will get to see the klutz I truly am!
So I'm off to record my welcome vlog and will be upgrading and updating this blog as well so expect to see some new changes in a day or two! Also my twitter is up and running again I had problems with my phone but that's all fixed so will also be back to tweeting again starting today!
Thanks for not unfollowing my blog and I'm super stoked to be back!
Love, Kisses and Bloody-coated hugs

Upcoming Horror movies in May 2013
10 May 2013
Aftershock:
An American tourist in Chile and his newfound
friends face a grueling fight for survival following a massive earthquake in
this harrowing disaster film starring and co-written by Eli Roth (who penned
the screenplay alongside Guillermo Amoedo and director Nicolas Lopez).
Good-natured Gringo (Roth) and his two Chilean pals Ariel (Ariel Levy) and
Pollo (Nicolas Martinez) are looking to hook up with some ladies when they
happen across gorgeous Russian model Irina (Natasha Yarovenko) hard-partying
Kylie (Lorenza Izzo), and Kylie's straight-laced older sister Monica (Andrea
Osvart), who agree to join them for an impromptu trip to Valparaiso. But the
following night, as the music blares and the club gets jumping, the ground
starts to crumble beneath their feet. With chaos in the air and Ariel seriously
injured, everyone tries to keep their cool while seeking help for their friend.
Little do they realize that this is the beginning of a nightmare from which no
one can wake up, and when the inmates escape from a local prison and begin
flooding into the streets, the initial shock turns to outright terror as roving
gangs of convicts begin to rape, rob, and murder at will.Saturday, April 27, 2013
Voodoo Crypt
“Pixie
I don’t think it’s a good idea for us to be down here”
Sarah
had always been the cautious one in the family but I didn’t care, I had to find
out what dad kept hidden down here. Even
with 8 of us pushing the door it still proved too difficult to open, after one
last shove the door finally budged, it slowly creaked open to reveal nothing
but darkness.
Although
there was 8 of us the surrounding darkness made me feel like I was all alone,
the room was cold, musky and the eeriness was sending chills down my
spine. Darkness always has a way of making
my imagination run wild, images of all the horror movies I had ever watched
began to replay in my mind, what if Jason was to jump right at me or what if I was
to bump into Freddy Krueger and realize that I was in one of his twisted
demented dreams..
“I
think I found the light switch!!” Abbey yelled interrupting my thoughts…..
So
my minions here are the details to my Voodoo Crypt contest:
1.
I would like for you to email me 2 short
paragraphs on what you think happens after Abbey switches on the light
2.
Email me your responses to:
pixieshorrorgalore@gmail.com
3.
Anyone can join this contest, I will read through
all the responses and the winning email will be featured in the next
installment of Voodoo Crypt
4.
The deadline is 25th of May 2013
Please
spread the word of this contest and I’m looking forward to reading all your
horrifically delicious and bloody-coated responses

Pieces of me..The Walking Dead (Part3)
Hello my lil horror minions!
Pieces of me is a blogpost series I started where I basically
share pages from my sketchbook. In todays post I decided to do a tribute to my
favorite horror series The Walking Dead by drawing a Walker, I added a lil
twist to my usual Pieces of me posts by showing the process I went through to
get to the final product.
Constructive critism will be highly appreciated…
Love, Peace and Bloody-coated hugs

Pieces of Me (Part 2)
It's been quite a while since my last blogpost but most of you might not know but I'm currently studying in Beijing and being in China means that a helluva lot of websites are blocked here including blogspot, making this extremely hard for me to post things up on a constant basis.
Not to worry though being the lil geek I am i found a way to bypass it, though I'm not sure how long it will last but yea enough of the explanations and back to this post..
So this post is Part 2 of my previous "Pieces of me" post and for those who don't know, I started this post to basically share pages from my sketchbook that i haven't even shown to anybody so without further adieu here is page 2:
Will be putting up another post in a bit with a list of horror movies to look out for in April!

Pieces of me
It's been so long I haven't put up a post that I feel like this is my very first but with a year and half left in college my courses are getting much harder and my assignment load just keeps on piling up so unfortunately this blog had to take a back seat.
On the brighter side though I am back and even though for now I may not be able to update posts on a regular basis I will try my best to squeeze in a post or two once I do get a breather!
I mean nothing is more soothing after being mentally raped by class and exams than blogging!
So not a lot of people know this not even my parents but I really love sketching and just drawing whatever I may come across but I have never actually showed people my sketches, so i decided to start a post called "Pieces of me" where i will basically just be sharing pages from my sketchbooks. Now I am in no shape or form the next Leonardo Da Vinci and some of my sketches are incomplete but I just thought it would be a great way to open up and just show you guys what I do when I should technically be listening to my professor and making study notes.
Enough babbling below is page 1 of further more to come:
So that's about all if you know of any great artistic horror blogs please do let me know so I can follow and procrastinate even more.

OH MY GOSH PIXIE WAS KIDNAPPED!!!
Yes yes I was attacked and kidnapped by a clan of vampires no I mean werewolves actually it was by a pack of hybrid lygers..YES LYGERS!! Thats why I haven't posted anything in such a long while!!
Alright alright so maybe I wasn't kidnapped just busy with college thrown in with some major procrastination and a little laziness..ok maybe a lot of laziness but hey I'm back now!!
So lets dive right into it...
WARNING: The next idiot who tries to play Freddy Krueger in another Nightmare on elm street remake and isn't Robert Englund will be shot...and if you so happen to survive you will be shot again!
UPCOMING HORROR MOVIE REVIEW:
The Devil Inside
In Italy, a woman becomes involved in a series of unauthorized exorcisms during her mission to discover what happened to her mother, who allegedly murdered three people during her own exorcism.
Director: William Brent Bell
RANDOM HORROR FACT OF THE DAY:
One of the most gruesome forms of execution was Sawing.
In Execution by sawing, the criminal would be hung upside-down and a large saw would be used to cut their body in half, starting with the groin, all the way to the head. Because the person was hanging upside-down, the brain received sufficient blood to keep them alive until the saw finally reached the main blood vessels in the abdomen. In the Asian version of this execution, the victim would stand upright and the sawing would begin at the top of the head.
Some traditions state that the Prophet Isaiah was executed by the saw. It is believed that Saint Paul is making reference to this in his Epistle to the Hebrews 11:37:
They were stoned, they were cut asunder, they were tempted, they were put to death by the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being in want, distressed, afflicted.
This method of execution was used in the Middle East, Europe, and parts of Asia. It was also used in the Roman Empire and was considered to be the favorite punishment dished out by Emperor Caligula.
Well that's all for now my horror minions...will try not to get kidnapped again by those damn witches, zombies damnit what did i say before...OH YES lygers!!

My Letter of New Years Resolutions!
Dear Whoever is in charge of making New Years resolutions happen, (I'm guessing God)
So I know this looks really bad right now but I promise you I have only had 1 drink so far..well okaaaaay maybe one REALLY big gulp of what most would call alcohol but I prefer the term *my medicine* or *that good stuff*. I know it seems as if I am passed out on the concrete floor right outside my campus building but what you do not get is that in actuality I'm holding onto the floor so as not to fall off the Earth.
In anycase while lying here I started asking myself many life changing questions like:
Where am I?
Where is my wallet?
Why do I have a hobo lying next to me?
Why can't I get that Black Eyed Peas Boom Boom Pow song out of my head?
and lastly
What are my new years resolutions for 2012?
And thus after finding a pen and piece of paper in the tuxedo jacket that I am wearing and think I stole, I begin to reflect on my life and in this time of reflection I jotted down some of my New Years resolutions.
My New Years Resolutions of 2012:
- I will try to be a better serial killer
- No more kidnapping people putting them in the trunk of my car and forgetting to close it
- I will sign up to the gym so I can get fit and actually be able to catch up to the people I try to chase and kill
- Get a new asthma pump..So what? I'm a serial killer with asthma at least i still look good dammit not like that burnt up piece of bread Freddy Kruger..Damn I HATE him!!!
- Get a kickass cool serial killer name like Freddy Kruger
- Remember to cut off the alarm system first before secretly breaking into the house of a target
- Try to remember to put my mask on next time I'm on a killing spree
- I promise my lawyer to not show up drunk to another court hearing again
- I will buy a broken down abandoned raggedy house in the woods cause all the big horror movie serial killers roll like that.
- I will make a shank, because I can't afford to buy an actual weapon
- Or better steal Freddy Kruger's blade gloves and blame it on Jason
- No more thinking my victims are trained dogs and expecting them to stay in the house when i leave them there without tying them down.
- Be more enthusiastic when the jury says "We the jury find the defendant NOT GUILTY of all charges"
- When I am hiding in the closet of my next victim try not to fall asleep again, what an awkward exit after being woken up by your victim and a police officer.
- Come up with a really cool "SURPRISE!!" dance for when my victim catches me in their back yard.
"Helllooooo there, are you ready to die!"
- And last but not least be more Gangsta in 2012
So there you go those are my resolutions and I hope to follow through with them diligently.What New years resolutions do you have for 2012? and in case I don't do another blog post before New Years I want to wish you guys an awesome and prosperous New Year!!
Celebrate this New Years with a little bit of blood!!
For those of you who are as twisted if not more than me who wouldn't feel right ringing in 2012 without a bit of blood and gore below are two of the best New Years related horror movies. I will not give an in depth review on them but instead will just give a brief overview on what the movies are about, then after New Years when we have all hopefully watched one if not all, I will do an in depth review on both films and would really like some feedback from you guys on how you liked or liked it (and no that wasn't a typing mistake) hahaha ;) just being silly but yeah here you go and hope you enjoy!!
New Years Evil 1986:
As the film begins New Year's Eve is on its way and television's most famous punk rock lady icon, Diane Sullivan also known as Blaze by her, is holding a late night countdown celebration of music and partying. All is going great until Diane receives a phone call from a strange sounding stranger claiming his name is Evil and who announces on live television that when the clock strikes twelve in each time zone, a 'Naughty Girl' will be punished with death, then the killer signs off with a threat claiming that Diane will be the last one to die.
The studio crew takes safety measures and heightens security, but in the local insane asylum a nurse is found viciously slaughtered at the stroke of midnight EST. The killer records his victims as he murders them and calls back the station each time playing the tapes back to prove he is not playing around. There are many suspects and theories as to who the mysterious killer/caller is; is it a crazed fan? or a religiously psychotic person, or maybe and usually more likely someone closer to Diane than anyone could have ever expected.
Terror Train 1980:
At a college pre-med student fraternity New Year's Eve party, a reluctant Alana Maxwell is convinced into participating in a prank: she lures the shy and awkward pledge Kenny Hampson into a dark room with the promise of a sex. However some other students have placed a woman's corpse in the bed. Kenny is traumatised by the prank and is sent to a psychiatric hospital for help.
Years later as the train with the very same people who caused the prank begins its journey, each student is murdered off one by one, with the killer assuming the mask and costume of each murder victim in turn.So who is this mystery killer? watch the movie and find out!
Hope you enjoy the movies and I hope you have an awesome New Years day!!

Uh uh Mr.Vampire back it up, I don't roll like that!!
Now i know especially with the new Twilight Breaking Dawn movie out, there are many-a-girls who are obsessed with vampires and would give anything even their life to be with a vampire but I am NOT one of those girls!! Now don't get me wrong honey there are some FINE DELICIOUS vampires out there, i mean you have to give credit where it is due and boy OH boy is it DUE when it comes to the looks department....
Mmmmm mmmmmm woooo child im gonna print that one out and put it on my night stand!!!...ahem uhm what was i talking about again?....uhmmmmm...OH RIGHT!...so anyways despite how gorgeous vampires are I could never see myself marry let alone date a vampire and these are my reasons why:
- Why the hell would i want to date someone who actually usually regards my kind as his prey and food supply??!! I mean excuse me for liking my haemoglobin right where it is and not running down my spouses oesophagus!!
So now not only do I have to worry about whether he loves me or not, or whether he is cheating on me now I gotta add the stress of whether one day he gonna bite a gal and "lose control" and suck her dry to a raisin?
- And WHY IN THE HELL do girls think that being bit by a vampire is a sensual and exotic experience??!!Listen, I was bit by a chihuahua once and there was NOTHING sexy, sensual or exotic about it mmmkay!
I was in agonizing pain for weeks, so if a chihuahua with minute teeth could do so much physical and emotional damage on a gal like me imagine HUGE ASS vampire canines!!
- My dear vampire lovers you obviously have not done your research quite well, because if you did then you would know that vampires carry rabies!!
OH YES close that mouth! That hot tall smoking vampire making oogle eyes at you from across the room is rabies infested!Don't believe me? well leme school you honey-bunch, vampires are actually bats and bats are common rabies carriers in North America and most cases of rabies transmissions in the U.S over the past 50 years are from bats, so just remember while you being sensually bit on the neck a few weeks later you might just end up looking this:
and that aint sexy!
- Also all these girls who have slept with vampires you should be ashamed of yourselves cas no matter which way you spin it you still slept with a BAT!!.....a very sexy bat BUT a BAT nonetheless but naaaaahhhh go ahead!keep on sleeping with bat men and we will see how happy you will be when you give birth too half-bat babies instead of sexy vampire looking ones!!
- Marriage is a hard thing in itself just between mortals, maybe its just me because I have commitment issues but i just can't see myself not getting frustrated waking up to the same damn person everyday but as harsh as this will sound at least with a mortal you know that someday you will both die BUT damn vampires are immortal you gotta wake up to the same man for ETERNITY!!! i mean eternity is a long ass time what will you talk about?! I would end up staking myself if not him if i was stuck in such a situation!
- As much as I love going out at night and partying with friends i just don't think I can do eternal darkness, I love my sunshine way too much and being with a vampire would require me giving up sunshine and thats just a little too much, plus since they never go in the sun that would mean I would be dating the most palest man known in history and don't know about you but I don't want to be dating a Casper the ghost lookalike.
- I'm claustrophobic so I definitely can not do coffins.
- Sleeping with a vampire would make me a necrophiliac and that's just plain gross.
- Vampires are immortal beings and thus never age. To most this is a good thing because it means that he will be hot for eternity but did you ever stop to think about you and how you are very mortal and thus will age. So many years down the line he will still be the same sexy, super fast and super strong vampire while you will be a half blind old wrinkly hag sitting in the living room attached to a dialysis machine with uncontrollable bowels. I will just kill myself if i had to wake up to sculpted handsome man while my body just decayed before his and my very eyes, if I'm gonna decay heck your ass better decay too cas we in this together!
So my dears next time a sexy vampire comes up to you before you fall head over heels in love take these pointers into consideration and if your smart enough you will end up taking out your crucifix and point it right at him and scream "Uh Uh Mr. Vampire back it up, Pixie taught me not to roll like that!"

Survival Guide from a Mad Black Woman in a Zombie Apocalypse
- Girl you need to surround yourself with slow ass people, yes you heard me get as many slow friends as you can get the fatter the better because they will be your shield, zombies go for slow people because they are the easiest to catch so all you got to do is be in the middle and watch each of them go down one by one until you reach your next hide-out spot.
- Get yourself some guns and i meant it in plural form, whatever you can get your hands on GET IT, a real woman never walks around without her pistols.
- You needs to get you a weave or some sort of hair extensions because the more fake hair you have the harder its goin be for the zombies to get to your brains.
- If you are at a hide-out spot with a group of survivors and you realize that you are the ONLY black person in that crowd, then RUN bitch because the black person always dies in horror movies especially if they the only black one in the group.
- If you suspect that your child may have turned into a zombie you need to have spare belts at hand so you can WHOOP the zombie out of that child, i mean you need to straight TEAR-THAT-ASS-UP you gotta tell these children straight up who they dealing with " I dun spent 12 hours in labour trying to give birth to your raggedy ass and now you wanna eat me? EAT THIS U LIL SPAWN OF SATAN!!!!"
- Don't act so sad and cry about your husband turning into a zombie i mean aint like he was any different from before, heck i would say he has improved because at least now he has drive and ambitions. Also DO NOT hesitate for one bit to shoot his ass once he does turn because now with the apocalypse its all about you, screw "For better or worse" and think more on the lines of "Till death do you part" and you better kill him if you wanna part.
- Unless your first name is Sherlock and your surname Holmes don't try to solve the puzzle as to how or why the apocalypse happened just be happy you are still alive and do not be dumb enough to go around opening doors trying to discover what's behind them because that will just get your ass killed.
- If your in a room and hear a noise if your dumb enough to go and investigate it and you find out that its just a rat don't relax RUN as fast as you can and try to not look back because this usually means the zombie was actually standing behind you or would pop out of nowhere.
- Now honey if you come across a town that looks dark and deserted turn your damn car around and find another town because its deserted for a reason mmmkaaaay?
- If you see that hoe Bonquisha from down the street looking all zombified take a moment to enjoy how disgusting she looks and just find joy in the fact that she now looks like a ghetto version of Freddy Krueger with a bad weave job and after you have had in your few laughs unleash your inner Tomb raider and shoot that biatch!!!
- If you notice that in your group there is one guy that stands out to be the hero of this whole thing you better strut yourself and get him to notice you, I'm saying you gotta drop it like its hot and not warm and get close to him because hero's always survive and they always do their best to save the girl they like.
- If after a somewhat long fight with a zombie you finally defeat and kill it, look right at the camera and do not lose focus on it and if it begins to pan away in slow motion then RUN like your ass is on fire because that usually means its panning towards a zombie thats behind you.
- Unless you can fly, have bat wings or you can shoot spiderwebs out of your knuckles do not try to be the hero and save NOBODY!!! "Shoot you want me to go save who??? Huh i know your ass aint talking to me! Have you lost your damn mind do you not know that the wanna-be-hero always dies and plus aint like im gonna get much if i do die, there aint gonna be no 21 gun salut and R.Kelly aint for sure gonna come out and sing me no song"
- Do not forget to stock up on food, water and supplies because wouldn't it be a bitch if you survived the zombie apocalypse but died of malnutrition.
- If ALL else fails and you end up surrounded by a horde of hungry zombies, you only have ONE LAST choice left........BLEND IN!!!

Oh Grim Reaper thou art a heartless B*tch!
Why? Because He or She is the personification of death. The Grim Reaper has many other names to which it called by, many of which I am sure you recognize: Angel of Death, Death, Devil of Death and from the bible Angel of dark and light. The job of the Grim Reaper is to take the souls of people whose time on earth has come to an end and to guide these souls from this world onto the next.
Now most people say I shouldn’t hate or be afraid of the Grim Reaper because he isn’t a bad guy at all. I guess I can see why they would say that because technically without him/her there wouldn’t be anyone to help guide us through the dying process and thus without an entity to guide us to the “next world” there would be a lot of lost souls unable to move on. I get it! I really do BUT how do you expect me to not be afraid of an entity that is a skeleton who wears a long black hooded cloak that covers most of his body, carries an hourglass around that counts down how many days and hours I have left on this earth and to put the bloody cherry on the cake he walks around with a HUGE scythe which he uses to harvest dead people’s souls, I mean really does he really need that big of a weapon?
So why do I call him/her a heartless b*tch? Because once that hourglass shows that your time is up THAT’S IT he is taking your life and you have no control over it, yep there aint no flash-backs of your life, R.Kelly doesn’t come out and sing you no song, you are just GONE and with the use of a scythe which seems like a violent way to leave this earth.
Now below are some stories that I came across about people who died after supposedly having encounters with the Grim Reaper and after reading some of them I realized that the Reaper is pretty devious in some of the ways that he takes these people’s lives but read it and decide for yourself:
1998
Martin Raines was attending a twenty-first birthday party held by his brother in a house in Aurora, Illinois, USA. Martin was in the rear garden with his girlfriend, a colleague from work and two members of a local rock band. As they all talked together, Martin heard someone call out his name. Turning, he saw to figures standing in the shade of some bushes at the end of the garden. One of them he recognized as Jack Crawford, an old school-friend, remembered as a practical joker. The other was seemingly just a black silhouette in the evening gloom, around six feet five. Despite Crawford's joking personality, he wore a somber look on his face. By now, Martin's girlfriend and the two band members had also noticed the two figures at the end of the garden. Martin attempted to communicate with his old friend, asking him is he was gate-crashing the party. Instead of answering, Jack Crawford raised his hand and called "Goodbye, Martin", before fading away, along with the dark shadowy stranger. Martin and the other on-lookers walked to the end of the garden, but found no means by which Jack and his mysterious companion could have exited. The garden was surrounded by a high stone wall on all three sides. However, one thing they did notice was a smell of gas, which could not be explicated. It remained for around fifteen minutes after the incident, before finally disbursing. Martin was later that night informed by a friend that Crawford had been found dead in his home, after committing suicide. He had apparently gassed himself to death in an oven.
1967
In October of 1967, a good-looking young woman named Christine got a job as a secretary with the Life Assurance Company based in London. On her first day at work, a co-worker called Jack asked her if he could take her out, but she politely declines, replying that she was saving herself for somebody else. When quizzed by Jack as to the identity of this lucky person, she confessed that she didn't really know who he was, only that he was a tall, dark, handsome young man whom she was seen in the street regularly, and that he always smiled at her. A week later, a letter arrived at the office addressed to Christine. A man had apparently handed it in at the reception desk on the ground floor and requested that it be passed on to her. The letter read as follows:
Dear Christine, our paths have finally met. Please meet me on the corner of Regent Street off Piccadilly Circus, near the Taxi-rank at 5:30.
The letter was signed: Tall, dark and handsome.
That evening before leaving the office, Christine went to the toilets and put on lipstick and eye-shadow, before leaving with the other staff. She went alone to the appointed meeting place. As she stood, she spotted Frank, her manager, watching her from the corner. When she asked him what he was doing, he explained that he was concerned for her safety, in case the man she was meeting wanted to hurt her. She told him that he would be okay on his own, and that he could leave, which he did. At 5:30pm, Christine was found dead at the taxi-rank. According to witnesses, she collapsed "like a rag-doll" and died almost instantly. The coroner gave cause of death as heart-failure, unusual, as Christine had never suffered from heart problems.
1791
Mozart, a man so talented that he wrote a piano concerto aged 4, was sat in his home one evening in 1791, when he heard a knock at his door. When he opened it a tall man clad in black robes with white skin and black eyes entered, and requested that the musician compose a requiem for the late Count Walsegg. Mozart agreed, and the stranger smiled and left, after pointing his long finger at the composer. Mozart walked to the window to see the man leave, but his long garden path was empty. Mozart became convinced that he had just met Death, and confided in his closest friends that he felt like the requiem he was composing was for his own funeral. Days later, Mozart caught typhus and died. The piece he composed Requiem Mass, was played at his funeral.
There are many many more stories like the ones mentioned above but one will never know if they are really true. Whether the Grim Reaper truly does exist or if he is just a figment the human imagination one will never know until we meet our end.
Love, Peace and bloody-coated hugs

Horror Poems
Because I could not stop for Death
by Emily Dickinson
Because I could not stop for Death –
He kindly stopped for me –
The Carriage held but just Ourselves –
And Immortality.
We slowly drove – He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility –
We passed the School, where Children strove
At Recess – in the Ring –
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain –
We passed the Setting Sun –
Or rather – He passed us –
The Dews drew quivering and chill –
For only Gossamer, my Gown –
My Tippet – only Tulle –
We paused before a House that seemed
A Swelling of the Ground –
The Roof was scarcely visible –
The Cornice – in the Ground –
Since then – 'tis Centuries – and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses' Heads
Were toward Eternity –

The “iDig your blog” award:
So I had received my very FIRST blog award from the ever wickedly awesome John C creator of the Horror Smorgasbord blog and I was really stoked and truly honored to get such an award. I’m not going to lie I spent many nights were I would cling to my Mr.Smuggles teddy on one side and a bunch of Kleenex tissues in the other wiping away my tears as I stared at my pc screen reading many a blogs and seeing how they all had a plethora of blog awards and I had none, damnit if it wasn’t for Gloria Gaynors “I will survive” song playing in the background I just do not know how I would have gotten over it.
Well now that I have one of my own I want to not only show it off but pass it on to other splendid blogs I dig!
So with this award comes a few rules that I have to abide to and complete before I can pop open the bottle of champagne I stole from my dad’s wine cabinet….
iDig Your Blog Award Protocol:
1 ) Gratefully accept this award.
2 ) Link to the person you received it from.
3 ) Post 3 interesting facts about yourself.
4 ) Pass this award around to at least 5 blogs you dig.
5 ) Notify them.

1. I of course appreciatively accept this award and couldn’t be more happy to get it
2. The great man who bestowed upon me my very first blog award is none other than John of Horror Smorgasbord. He is such a dedicated blogger who has created one of the most attention-grabbing horror blogs on here. If you aren’t following his blog yet, you should because his blog covers all aspects of the horror genre and I mean it ALL! If that doesn’t convince you to follow his blog well then here it is not only does he own a marvelous collection of horror masks he owns his own straight jacket (the same kind they use in mental wards), now I don’t know about you but ANYONE who owns a straight jacket is wickedly cool with me.
3. I don’t find myself to be too interesting but let me scratch my head and see if I can find something:
· Even though I’m too chicken to get one, I still have this HUGE fascination with tattoos and have been since I was younger. I just love the creativity of it all and I sometimes spend hours just looking on the internet at different tattoo designs and if I find a person with one I just get totally engulfed with the part on their body where they have it, am still surprised no one has pressed charges against me.
· The one country that has stolen my heart ever since I was a child is Greece I have been so mesmerized by not only the pure beauty of this country but by its rich history as well. One of my many dreams I want to accomplish before I die is to travel there, the other country that was on that very same list was France but I have already been there and now im just dying inside to go to Greece.
· I’m pretty Old School as my friends sometimes say I’m an old soul stuck in a young person’s body. I’m really into old movies and nothing cheers me more than just lounging by myself with a HUGE bowl of popcorn watching movies like Boys like girls, Breakfast at Tiffanys, The Godfather,Gone with the wind,The wizard of Oz etc… and even when it comes to my taste of music it’s the same, nothing cheers me up like a little Frank Sinatra, Billy Holiday, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Nate King Cole, The commodores, Luther Vandross and so so many more.
- Now to pass on this great award onto other deserving blogs and by the way I might include blogs that may have already gotten this award but it just would not be right if I didn’t Include you in this list:
5. Now with that done I’m off to notify the mentioned people above. Thanks again John!
