Don’t be that stupid guy that gets killed first. Think twice before you go looking for a thrill this Halloween…. (queue the spooky music). 1. Wooden Houses with pointy Witch hats. This house is obviously cursed and will have you sprouting Latin (or some other dead language) in no time. Detroit, via here [...]
If you’ve ever been to Venice, you’ll remember that it’s a chock-a-block city. Not just with with tourists but with houses, shops, palazzos and basilicas that seem to pile on top of each other, squeezed into every nook and cranny. In Venice and most of it’s surrounding islands of the lagoon, there is no more [...]
If you’re going to follow my blog, you should probably know that my passions stretch further than all things French to encompass such interests as zombies, abandoned buildings and ofcourse sharks! And what’s this week? Surely you must know it’s SHARK WEEK! In its 25th year, the Discovery Channel will air the annual week-long series of feature television [...]
Are you in the mood for a good ghost story? I always am. Doll collecting is a pretty spooky habit on its own. But when you start hanging them from trees on a remote island allegedly haunted by the spirit of a girl, well, things start to tip the scales. Deep in the canals of [...]
There’s a lot of things that fascinate us in the world, especially the things that scare the crap out of us. And learning about scopolamine, a.k.a “The Devil’s Breathe”, will do just that. The highly dangerous substance from a plant found in Columbia allegedly hypnotizes the user (or in most cases, the victim), causing them to [...]
I often wonder how it’s possible to be both obsessed with things like puppies, french cheese, floral print vintage dresses AND zombies. (Still working on an explanation). So anyway, deep down, we all really want a zombie apocalypse to happen. Just for a day or something. You know, to put our zombie survival skills to [...]
How parents let their children near any of these bunnies is beyond me. Sorry for possibly ruining your Easter with this post, but really, what is Easter if not just another holiday that makes you fat? And why are most bunny costumes absolutely terrifying? Down with the sweaty man in the creepy bunny suit. More [...]
In the furthest corner of the Vincennes woods of Paris, lies the remains of what was once a public exhibition to promote French colonialism over 100 years ago and what we can only refer to today as the equivalent of a human zoo. In 1907, six different villages were built in the Jardin d’Agronomie Tropicale, representing all [...]
Before we get started and jump into the Halloween spirit of the MessyNessy Halloween special, I’d like to address an important and serious issue this year…. A sick and twisted Halloween practice is occurring more and more frequently every year, poisoning our society and inflicting cruelty on our most beloved. I urge the perpetrators to [...]
There are a few things about me that could be perceived by some as a little off. For example, I highly enjoy doing a little dance in front my bathroom mirror occasionally, watching zombie films or snacking on salted crisps dipped in cold milk (trust me, try it). I also enjoy looking at derelict buildings. [...]
