Blood Sucking Bunnies and Cruelty to Peeps


When I was in grade school, (I think in 3rd or 4th grade) something I looked forward to every day after recess was our teacher reading a chapter of the book Bunnicula to us. Do you guys remember Bunnicula? I'm guessing that if you are more of less my age and reading this blog, you were a fan of these books. :) For those who don't know about the Bunnicula character, he was a vampire rabbit. Well, sort of a vegetarian vampire who would suck the juices out of vegetables. I remember something about him draining a lettuce head. I also remember the title of my favorite Bunnicula book, "The Celery Stalks at Midnight."

I was trying to think of something Easter related that I could blog about today. I was feeling pretty positive, so I didn't want to talk about anything too dark. Bunnicula came to mind, since he's a rabbit and something I remember fondly from my childhood. 

Oh, and you know what else I remember from my childhood? Experimenting on Peeps! I wasn't really big on eating them, so it was a lot more fun to stick them in the microwave and stretch parts of them out with toothpicks. If you were the same kind of kid as I was, you might enjoy this:

Peep Experiments

Be sure to look at the "Risk Analysis" section.




Oh, and I have to share some of my favorite horror themed 30 Second Bunnies clips! For those who don't know, these are 30 second parodies of movies that are acted out by cartoon bunnies. I picked the bunny versions of what are, in my opinion, the three scariest horror movies ever made:


The Exorcist


The Shining


The Ring


Happy Easter Everyone!

Spooky Amityville Radio Show

It's been a while since I've updated this blog. I guess this is in part because I was in the Thanksgiving and Christmas spirit for a bit. As much as I love Halloween, I had to take a break for other holidays! :)

Anyway, today I was listening to Darkness Radio, which I love to have running online. There was a show in the archives about the real Amityville Horror house. It was an interview with a woman who lived in that town during the time of the events and was familiar with the family involved. Very interesting perspective and worth a listen! Here's a link to the podcast: Amityville Radio Program

I've read the Amityville Horror novel (which I liked) and seen way too many of the movies! The woman giving this interview doesn't agree with a lot of what was portrayed in the book or movies. 

Here's a picture of the house we are all so familiar with! It really does feel like it's looking at you...
