My
Horror Block for July arrived yesterday.
I
wasn't expecting it this early, or maybe I just lost track of time
because of working on this story for the October anthology and
another for class this term.
For
those that don't know, Horror Block is a monthly subscription box
from Nerd Block and it's geared towards horror fans. Each month
you'll get a box filled with an exclusive T shirt, a Rue Morgue
Magazine and 4 or 5 other items to fuel your nightmares for only
$19.99 + S&H.
This
is my second Horror Block and so far I've loved everything in both of
them. I'm going to try and stick with them as long as I can. What
really drew me to picking this block instead of one of the other geek
related monthly subscription boxes is because it comes with an
exclusive T shirt every month. Also because it just seemed like it
would have more items geared towards my tastes. I adore geeky items
and video stuff but the truth is that I'm really just not THAT
geeky, no matter how much I pretend to be :p
I
was really excited for this months box because I saw a post on their
Facebook page that there would be a Buffy The Vampire Slayer item
in it. YAY!
The
July 2015 Horror Block contained the following items.
Titan
vinyl figure of Spike from Buffy.
I
love this. I'm new to collecting geeky items, or anything aside from
coffee cups and books, so I think this is a great way to start. I
subscribed to Loot Crate a few times and ended up with a really cool
Funko Pop vinyl Joker-Batman figure too, So that was my first
introduction to the world of vinyl figures, and I can't say that I
was disappointed.
My
next favorite item was the T shirt that came this month. If you don't
know I'm a huge werewolf fan and they're often the main creature
feature in my stories. So to say that this “American Werewolf”
shirt was perfect for me might be an understatement!
There
was also a Walking Dead
car window decal. I don't drive so I'll have to figure out somewhere
else to put this, unless I give it to my mom to put on the back
window of her VW beetle, hahaha.
There
was an interesting looking DVD in the box this month. It allows you
to choose which way the characters will die in the film. This has the
potential to be really awesome or just really bad. Either way I'm
going to have to check it out soon. I read somewhere else that it's
from the 1980's, so on one hand that makes it a lot cooler because
it's retro and you know it's going to be cheesy.
Every
month with your subscription you also get a subscription to Rue
Morgue Magazine, which is one of
the go to sources for everything related to pop culture news about
horror flicks, books and TV shows. I apologize for the crappy quality of the pics. I was in a hurry & having to take them from my phone. I'll do better next time, I promise!
The
last thing that came in this July block was a second T shirt from the
Nerd Block box as a way of trying to show you what you've been
missing by not signing up for the other boxes. Mine was a Dr.
Who shirt. It's nifty looking
but... I'm just a Whovian, sorry. I'm going to end up giving it to
one of my friends, I think.
Overall
though I was stoked about this month's box. I think the Spike figure
and the werewolf shirt were totally worth it on their own.
Adora's
favorite thing this month was the box! :-)
