You’re not just an average citizen punching the clock every day. You’re the terror that flaps in the night! You’re the batteries that aren’t included! Sometimes, you’re outwitted by a highly intelligent inverse version of yourself, but you always find a way to prevail for the righteousness of St. Canard. And, of course, you regularly yell out your...

Believe it or not, Home Alone came out 25 years ago, and has since become a Holiday classic. The first two films in the franchise are enjoyed by many each holiday season. Seriously, they’re on TV about 3 times a day in December; how can you NOT watch them? While the movie is a Christmas classic, the best parts come from the shock humor of the traps and tricks Kevin McCallister uses...

Indie games have become more and more popular in recent years, but no title took the gaming community by storm like Five Nights at Freddy’s. Released on August 8, 2014, the game was such a critical success that it spawned 3 sequels (plus and upcoming RPG spinoff made by the same developer), a movie, and hundreds of YouTube videos of “Let’s plays” where you literally watch someone play the game and see their reactions to the gameplay. In Five Nights at Freddy’s, you play as a security guard that has to last through the night shift without getting caught by the haunted animatronics. You have a limited supply of power to use for the mechanical doors that keep the bad guys out and each night gets more and more difficult. Some people enjoy the eerie animation and jump scares, while others find the game is truly terrifying.
Besides the jump scares, another thing that makes the game so scary is the characters themselves! The main villains are the animatronic band at the Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza restaurant: Bonnie the bunny, Chica the chicken, and Freddy Fazbear. While each subsequent game in the franchise dives a little deeper into the story of what made these characters what they are, the simple story in the beginning is that they are left in “free-roam mode” during the night so they can wander the restaurant. They aren’t allowed to roam free during the day since an incident known as “The Bite of ‘87.” It’s also revealed that if they come across anything else moving, such as a lonely security guard, they will try to stuff them into one of the extra animatronic suits “where they belong.” Each member of the band has their own unique look, and while dressing like an animatronic may seem like a daunting task, we’re going to show you an easy way to do it with our Five Nights at Freddy’s DIY costumes!

These days we see Minions everywhere...taking up entire toy aisles, printed on packages of fruit snacks, starring in internet memes, and, of course, in the movie Minions, which has now been in theaters for nearly two weeks ( if you haven’t seen it, you’re missing out!). Minions are cute, which is probably why they are everywhere, but how much do we really know about them?...

The Three Blind Mice are just the sort of beloved cultural icons that make for creative and memorable Halloween costumes. That, nobody can deny (Oops…wrong rhyme!). How to create the outfits, though, is far less factual since the details about this treasured trio are few.
Here’s what we know: There are three of them, they can’t see, and they have a propensity for losing their tails. Here’s how that benefits you: You are free to unleash your creativity and...
