January 18th, 2022After a long holiday break, Educrated is finally back! Last week we teamed up with Fandor to talk about the legacy of the slasher film. With the new Scream film killin' it in theaters this weekend (ba dum tst), we take a look back at the franchise as a whole, and the way one 90's film shifted an entire subgenre.
How did you do? Do you...
November 16th, 2021If you're looking to shake things up this week, we've got just the thing. Here are the new themes for some of our coolest crates for dedicated fans. We will accept pre-orders throughout each crate's cycle, then move to fulfilling and shipping when the order window is closed.
Marvel Gear & Goods: Anti-Hero

October 26th, 2021We're continuing our October celebration with more scary trivia–this time from the anime vertical! Community manager Steven came up thirteen questions of horror anime trivia for us. (I'll leave you to guess who won!) Can you beat our community team's score?
How did you do? Did you know all of these insides out, or find a new show...
October 18th, 2021It's STILL Spooky Season! This means I'm taking a look at another horror themed medium! Today we're taking a look at a couple of albums that are entirely horror themed. The albums I'll be looking at today are The Silver Scream and Welcome To Horrorwood: The Silver Scream 2 from band Ice Nine Kills.
Who is Ice Nine Kills?

October 8th, 2021No one does screams like Blumhouse. They’re one of the leading production companies in horror, with some of the biggest hits and franchises–Paranormal Activity, The Purge, Creep, and Happy Death Day just to name a few–and they’re never stronger than they are in October. Loot Fright is currently celebrating the season with a...
October 7th, 2021Welcome to October! Our Looter Recipes are taking a turn into the horrifying and spooky. This week, we’re keeping it classy with one of the most famous chefs and psychologists: Hannibal Lecter. As he tells us in Silence of the Lambs, there’s nothing Dr. Lecter likes as much as liver, fava beans, and a nice Chianti. If you’re not a...
October 5th, 2021We're bringing in October with everything we've got! To celebrate the beginning of our favorite month, as well as Loot Fright's Blumhouse takeover crate, we dedicated our next Educrated to the world of horror movies. Horror collector Jake Rubenstein, @Alive_in_Analog, put our knowledge to the test and–as usual–we didn't do all that...
October 1st, 2021Comedy and horror don't have to be mutually exclusive. In fact, they make quite a good pairing when done right. Some of the most memorable "horror" films lean more comedy than anything else. We broke down five of our favorite comedy horror movies (entirely subjective of course) that you can binge this October.

September 24th, 2021American blockbusters might be widespread, but we’re far from having a lock on the industry. Every country has their own particular brand of horror, with their own tropes and their own set of rules. Some lean more into practical effects, some gore, some psychological horror, but all of them have produced some truly bone-chilling...
September 17th, 2021For our first Halloween Movie Marquee, we talked about our favorite Tim Burton movies. This week, we're taking it in a different direction. For some people, binge watching a television show is a lot more appealing than a movie marathon. Shows are broken down into episodes, which means there’s built in stopping points along the...
August 19th, 2021Ten years ago, I cautiously shuffled into the movie theater to watch Fright Night (2011). This was in my pre-horror days, where I was a certified scaredy cat. It took my friends a good week of convincing to get me to go with them, but I’d seen the trailer and knew a lot of the cast, so eventually I gave in.
It quickly became one...
September 29th, 2020Loot Crate's Loot Fright crates are one of the most popular crate lines we offer. Lovers of horror usually start young (I saw Alien when I was 7 years old), and that love will stay with us until we're a handsome pile of bones hanging outside someone's door every Halloween (that's actually in my will).
Our new Loot Fright crate theme -...
July 24th, 2020The Universal Monsters Mask Series from NECA and Loot Crate is an homage to the popular Universal Studios mini-monster figure collection from Remco. This set of six limited-edition collector quality latex masks includes Dracula, Phantom of the Opera, Creature From the Black Lagoon, Wolfman, The Mummy, and Frankenstein.
Each mask is...
July 9th, 2020CHECK OUT OUR LOOT FRIGHT CRATE
From Halloween to The Nightmare On Elm Street, we are far past the days of men running around and hacking people to pieces. Todays horror films are SCREWED UP (in a good way). They are terrifying and full of mentally torturing backwards bullshit. (excuse my language) Take a deep breath. So today I want to...

Welcome back to my blog everyone! This week I want to discuss some of the creepiest horror movie characters I have ever seen. NOW, since you guys decided to ROAST my ass for my last fright post, let me remind you that I am no horror movie expert and these are simply my opinion. Now that we have discussed that,...
January 30th, 2020The Exorcist, Annabelle, Halloween, all movies we know and love but aren't you tired of the basic, everyday horror films?
