There has been a modern revival of vampirism in recent years.  Although AIDS has put a dampener on sucking your girlfriend’s blood, no one can deny there is a growing subculture which embracing everything vampish, and its popularity has spilled over into mainstream pop-culture.
What is modern-day vampirism? Simply, the party by night, sleep by day mentality. Dressing in [...]

A comment on yesterday’s post reminded me of an old urban legend about another hell hole in Russia, but one which is rather more disturbing. The story goes like this…
Geologists working somewhere in remote Siberia had drilled a hole some 14.4 kilometers deep when the drill bit suddenly began to rotate wildly. The project’s manager was quoted as saying [...]

I’ve never seen Mary Poppins in its entirety. Parts of it have always given me the creeps.
Perhaps it’s is because of the not so subtle (down right scary) imagery hidden throughout the movie. Don’t be deceived by it’s cute Disney musical facade with the ever so innocent Mary (fresh from singing in the Swiss alps).
Pure evil I say.
You doubt [...]

Many moons ago while surfing Amazon’s Listmanias I came across an author by the name of Jeremy Robinson. To cut a long story short, he was running a viral video contest to promote his new book, Pulse. I bribed my good buddy Lesmondj into spending a Saturday afternoon in the bush and what eventuated was two versions of the [...]

In relation to a recent Facebook thread, I couldn’t help but take 5 minutes out of my afternoon to write a quick post about the mysterious Goonies Octopus scene.
Back in the day (1985 to be precise), Goonies paraphernalia came out months before the release date here in NZ. The ever popular (at the time) Goonies Bubblegum Cards contained a couple [...]

Those of us with a fascination for cryptozoology will be familiar with Americas ‘Thunderbird’ (giant man-eating) bird legend. Well, wouldn’t you know… I Came across an extremely interesting article in this week’s NZ Herald about New Zealand’s very own man-eating bird with a 3-meter wingspan and talons as big as tiger’s claws that terrorised the early Maori.
Now if that’s not [...]

I had to unblock the bathroom sink the other evening… joy. With the help of a crochet hook borrowed from PaisleyJade (yes, they really are good for something), I was able to pull out what I can only describe as a greeny, slimy, smelly, hairy, stringy goop that had to be seen to be believed. What caused it? Who [...]

Now that I have your attention…
We have a sign on our church building that says ‘Jesus is the answer’, but I wonder if we unconsciously believe that ‘Google is the answer’?
I must confess, that if I want to find out anything about anything… where do I go first?
Google.
In fact, anything I may want to do online, I can do [...]

A couple of weeks ago Lesmond and I entered a viral video contest promoting PULSE by Jeremy Robinson.
Although entertaining, the movie was far too long and I hate to say it… boring. Good news folks. I have re-edited it to a lean 1.15 minutes, and thanks to a blood-nose (don’t ask), it now has an alternate ending (like special [...]

About this time last year, I wrote of the time when my parents had a close encounter with the urban legend known as ‘The Mair Park Ghost. The original post created quite a stir, and you can read the subsequent shenanigans here:

The Mair Park Ghost
Haunted houses, ghosts and demons
Ghost mystery solved… or is it?
Symon Drake… Ghostbuster (heh)
Revenge of the Mair [...]
