Retro Review - Universal Studios Monsters Kids' Meal Toys from Burger King
In the late 1990's, the classic Universal Studios Monsters experience a resurgence in popularity thanks to their home video re-release. At the same time they were featured as promotional toys in the Burger King Kids' meals and let me tell you, they are awesome. These toys were a big part of my introduction to, and love of the classic Monsters. Even though I only had The Wolf Man as a kid I can remember hunting for The Creature from the Black Lagoon, trying to trade a friend for a Dracula, and finding Frankenstein later at a flea market. The 90's was a great time for fast food tie in toys and the Universal Monsters set is one of the most unexpected but welcomed collections ever released.

Review - Friday the 13th The Final Chapter Jason Figure by NECA
When it comes to Horror, I'm more of a Universal Monsters guy than a Slasher flick guy. But something changed this year with the release of Dead by Daylight and Friday the 13th: The Game. I know what you're thinking but no, I haven't actually played these games myself. Instead, I've been watching a bunch of Let's Plays and Live Streams and have enjoyed every minute of them. They both function basically the same; a small group of people try to avoid and escape an area from a classic slasher icon.
