I stopped making these custom dolls as they're SO labour intensive to earn even minimum wage I'd have to charge more than anyone would pay. But I did this as a favour for a returning customer and they let me down. I don't have a job, I rely on creative stuff for the tiny income I get. So, yeah 🙃
I have a pair of handmade plushies available - original Star Trek Spock and Kirk.
These were commissioned in March and the customer has since ghosted me, so I'm finally trying to sell them on. I guess my fault for trusting people to pay after production.

Nativity (2009) - Deserves to be more well known than it is. One of the very best Christmas movies. All the cast are fantastic, especially Martin Freeman & Marc Wootton. It's both very funny and emotional 5/5

Latest Christmas movie is Mercy Christmas. This is a bit of hidden Christmas horror gem. Cannibal family Christmas which is fun, action-packed and gory. It's silly and the cast go all out! Ignore the iffy title and various artwork.

"The Grot in the Grotto" (short film) 2023 - Really cool mockumentary-style short that I don't want to give too much away from. Well worth a watch though.
Xmas factor: Lots of Santa's, some nice touches like candy cane nail varnish, eggnog injections.

Christmas Shoes by FM Static
Super cheesy pop punk cover from the film of the same name. And if you haven't seen Christmas Shoes, it's the ultimate Christmas cheesefest!

Holiday Fear (short film) 2025
A final act of a slasher film. Some laughs, a bit of gore and a great score.
Xmas factor: Lots of snow, some Christmas lights and a killer Santa.

Love this!
Shudder will have a special, Christmas episode of the Duplass Brothers' THE CREEP TAPES on December 12.
The series that purports to share a serial killer's therapy sessions, will tell a special, Christmas Eve tale.

Everly was of course brilliant and a good way to start off the Christmas viewing. Set on Christmas Eve, Christmas music to begin and end and a little bit of snow! Here's a review I did a few years ago

I went for Lost Boys as my Halloween movie. First time watching in 4k. It's obviously still great.

Have I found the perfect #Halloween drink? Really really nice. Smooth and the right amount of berry and beer flavour.
