April/May '22 CreepyCrate Review!

 

The April/May CreepyCrate has arrived! This month has several fun items, and I am glad to see there is a collectable enamel pin in the crate again, they are one of my favorite things to receive. What is CreepyCrate? Let me tell you, CreepyCrate is a Horror/True Crime themed bi-monthly subscription box. If you've been a follower of my blog for a while, you will have seen some past reviews featuring the great items they include in each crate. 

Each month includes a physical copy of a book along with a digital copy of a secondary book. This crates book is "Unmasked" by Paul Holes, alternatively some of the boxes may have received "The New Neighbor" by Carter Wilson as different box variation. The digital book is a copy of "The Shadow of Death", they used to send you an email link with a link to claim your digital book. However they no longer do it that way, instead there will be a QR code on the item sheet that arrives with your crate. I always love seeing which book they select for these boxes, there are quite a few that really peaked my interest when I read the blurb on what the book was about. 

The biggest item to come in this crate is the "Where are you D.B. Cooper?" backpack. It is a fun drawstring backpack with two extra pockets compared to what normally comes on a basic drawstring bag. I think this would be a great bag to take with on a road trip or to keep your belongings in during a hike. Two of the items in this month's box are also quite useful, those two items are the "X-Files" nail file which I think is a great play on the shows name, my mom always loved watching this show when I was younger, she would watch it every week so I think I will pass this onto her. The Devil's Footprint sticky note set is also very useful and is just the right size to toss into your purse or bag for when you need some note paper, it is also small enough you can put it in your pocket if you prefer.

Also included was a Texarkana Killer Pin plus a Lincolnshire Poacher numbers station lanyard. All of the non-book items are CreepyCrate exclusives which means you can't get them anywhere else aside from maybe Ebay if someone decides to sell off the items they didn't want to keep. The crates are $39.99 per crate, you can choose to get billed bi-monthly or pre-pay for your crates selecting the three or six crate option, shipping is included in the price. I am pretty happy with this box, all of the products have a use and the book sounds like it will be an interesting read. One of my favorite items to receive in these boxes are the enamel pins, I have a cork board I like keeping them on along with my normal collection.

Which is your favorite item from this crate? What creature, horror movie or unsolved case would you hope to receive an item for?

February/March Creepy Crate Review!

I've been MIA for a little while and if you are wondering why, you can find out by checking out my facebook post. With the summer heat in full effect I am dreaming of Fall! It is one of my favorite times of the year because the weather is cooling down and all the stores start putting out all of their Halloween decorations. My home has a bit of a nerdy Addams family feel to it, there are lots of comic book, video game and Spooky themed decor up on our walls, and I've always been a fan of horror/thriller movies. So when I found a subscription crate called Creepy Crate I knew it was going to be a box worth looking into.

Creepy Crate is a True Crime/Horror subscription box that ships out on a bi-monthly basis. Each box could contain clothing, pins, accessories, house goods, books and more that is based on either a true crime such as the zodiac killer or on a horror movie such as Friday the 13th. You can purchase a three box subscription for $120 or a six box subscription for $240. 

Today I am going to be sharing the February/March 2020 box with you! You can spot the box as soon as it arrives on your porch because the box is adorned with spooky symbols like black cats, kitchen knives, etc. My box came packed with seven different products, I like that no two products were from the same horror theme. What was in the box? 

I received a book called Voices in the snow by Darcy Coates, A I <3 Derry T-shirt, A Zodiac Memo Book, A digital Ebook copy of "Sleep,My Child,Forever" by John Coston, A winged demon pin, A Undead horde keychain and a set of death dice. Sorry the cat isn't included in the box! My three favorite items from the box have to be the pin, dice and the memo book. As much as I love the pin though I have to figure out where I'd like to put it, I had it on my purse for a while but the back won't stay on securely and it slips right off (thankfully I didn't lose it when it fell off of my purse).

How cool are those death dice? Each side of the dice has little skulls carved into it that match the number correlated for that side. Some of the skulls are slightly different than the others but they are pretty uniform and I enjoy that they gave them a vintage/worn stain to make them look like actual bone. They are light weight, work well and would make a great addition to any D&D dice sets. The memo book seems to be well made and I think they did an excellent job on it, I was able to guess who it was in relation to as soon as I spotted it. I always like carrying a small notebook or notepad in my purse and this is the perfect size for carrying around with me. If you love Zombies, you'll love the zombie horde keychain which features a number of ghastly zombies to help brighten your rotten day. 

I enjoyed the fact that their T-shirt size chart is true to size, back quite some time ago when I was getting the Lootcrates the T-shirts were always significantly smaller than what the size chart was. So when picking out a shirt size I'd go with your normal size! I do however wish that the shirt included in this was black instead of white, as I typically don't wear anything that isn't black so I passed this shirt onto a friend of mine who will wear it. I haven't had a chance to read the book yet but it seems like it will be a fantastic read that I can't wait to dive into. 

Over all I really enjoyed this box, it had several fun products that are all useful and neat to have. Price wise each box comes out to about $40, for me that is a bit higher than what I'd typically pay for a subscription box but this was packed full of unique products I loved and don't think I would have found otherwise.
