Our Review
This month’s box has a variety of great macabre products!
The Chrystalis by Brendan Deneen—Retail Value $24.99 (found here for $15.64)
The book is about a millennial married couple that is struggling to make ends meet and move into a home outside of NYC. Shortly after moving into their new home they find out they are pregnant... and that their home has a deadly secret! Becoming an adult is a horror in of itself - student loans are downright scary! This tale may hit too close to home!
Bloody Shower Curtain—Retail Value $4.41
Nothing says scary like being attacked in a bathroom where your vulnerabilities are the most exposed. Albert Hitchcock showed how terrifying it is in the classic movie, Psycho. This bloody handprint shower curtain will harken back that infamous scene and complete any Halloween bathroom decorating… or your day to day spooky home décor.
“It Rubs The Lotion On Its Skin” Travel Candle by Calliope Candleworks — Buy an 8 oz. candle for $17.00
I love Silence of the Lambs and anything vanilla scented so this candle is absolute perfection! As we all know, you don’t want to have to put lotion on for Buffalo Bill, but heck if it smelled as good as this candle you might! This candle is perfect to take along on trips to light at hotels for a homey quality!
Red Balloon Drawstring Backpack
I was obsessed with Stephen King as a young girl - I even wrote him fan mail! I wanted to write scary stories and novels as a kid and he, R.L Stine, and Christopher Pike were my heroes. Carrie was my favorite of his books next to IT. I love both the original made for TV movie starring Tim Curry as Pennywise the Clown and the newer film version that came out last year. This bag is perfect for storing your keys, wallet, phone and other items on the go. It is made of a lightweight nylon fabric, has the IT themed screen print quote design, and has a drawstring enclosure.
Hockey Mask Popup Socket
If you are a huge Friday the 13th fan, you will love this Jason Voorhees hockey mask style design on this popup socket! I love pop up sockets because they can be used as a stand for your cell phone or as a grip to hold onto while taking pictures. You may get a scream or two when your friends and family see this one!
Killing Season by Carlton Smith—Retail Value $7.99
This may be the piece I am most excited for—a digital copy of Killing Season by Carlton Smith! I read up on a lot of true crimes, so this book about the investigation of the unsolved crimes of a serial killer in Massachusetts is fascinating to me! The book has great reviews as well!
Verdict: This is my first Creepy Crate and I am enjoying it so far. I love that they include horror movie themed pieces, but also true crime and serial killer items as well! The box had a great selection of pieces and for the price, I was rather pleased! The site indicates the boxes come with t-shirts sometimes as well, so I am eager to see if I get one next month! This is a fun box for anyone that is fascinated by true crime and anything and spooky!
