This full head mask is the Rat King from Etsy. The seller is Faust and Company who make the design by hand, so you’ll not get this for this Halloween. Feels like a good way to scare the neighbour at Christmas. You know; when nothing, not even the mice are supposed to be stirring. Real […]

Dazzling martial arts: A review of Street Fighter – Assassin’s Fist
You have to be kind to The Assassin’s Fist when you start to watch. If you can’t be kind then you’ll never overcome the suspension of disbelief required to accept that maybe, just maybe, this could be a Street Fighter movie that works. You won’t be able to make it past Ken’s flowing blonde hair. […]
Short film: Bag Man
A short sci-fi from A TWIN (thing) – that’s Jonathan and Josh Baker. This is a sci-fi although the slow start may leave you wondering what’s going on. We follow a young American boy, discover he’s skipping school and carrying a bag somewhere. Stick with it. Want to watch something else? This teleport link will […]
The 12 Masks of Halloween: #8 Murder Clown
This isn’t a mask. I’m not saying this is a real murder clown – it’s just that this is a handmade, prepainted, latex prosthetic. You’ll need to apply it to your face with spirit gum or liquid latex. The nicely named JaneDoeFx is selling this kit on Etsy along with plenty of fake wounds. Need […]

Book of Kells cosplay
This is different. This is cosplaying as the Book of Kells; an illuminated Latin manuscript that contains the four Gospels of the New Testament. If you want to check out the original you can do so via the Trinity College Digital Collections site. This costume and temporary tattoo collection was created by Amanda King and […]
It’s Dangerous to go Alone
This Zelda inspired poster from Colin Morella is just about perfect for Halloween. I love the spooky atmosphere. This is clearly Link exploring the sort of haunted swamp you would try your best to stay clear of on the night the worlds of the dead and living touch. You can check out more art from […]
Good news citizen: Paranoia Kickstarter
I’ve fond memories of the original Paranoia roleplaying game. It’s fun, funny and has been an entrance game for the RPG-curious. Certainly when I was running the RPG club back at school (medieval era) it was Paranoia that greeted the yearly influx of new faces. Now James Wallis is rebooting the game via Kickstarter. [Back […]
The 12 Masks of Halloween: #7 the Dragon
Dubrovnik Art don’t say much about this creation. It’s called “Handmade” and has no other description but appears when you search their Etsy store for masks. That’s no surprise as Dubrovnik make a lot of great masks along with wall art. It might be a bit of a gamble buying this without first checking it’ll […]
