Horror Block - May 2015

It is June 4th, and I finally received my May Horror Block! This is my first Horror Block subscription box, and WOW, it took a while to get here. My patience was rewarded, however, with a black and red box of quality loot.

The shirt of the month is a black Silent Hill tee with red and white artwork. For those not familiar, Silent Hill is a series of survival-horror video games. There have also been a couple of movies made based on the games. Being a fan of the Silent Hill game series, I can dig this shirt!

About half of the space in the box was wasted by a Jack Crawford (Hannibal) Pop Vinyl figure. Maybe I am being a tad harsh using the word "wasted". There is nothing wrong with Pop Vinyl, but this is, in my opinion, the least interesting item in the box.

Next up: A DVD, "Horror Block Short Film Festival 2015". I haven't watched it yet, but how bad could it be? I love that these guys put video in their boxes. I have seen previous month reviews that included Blu-Rays, and this is part of what attracted  me to Horror Block.

There is no shortage of reading material in the box. Two Rue Morgue publications, the monthly magazine and a book called "Weird Stats and Morbid Facts", are buried at the bottom.

Lastly, there is a picture of the Creature from the Black Lagoon included. I thought I could scare the cats with it, but they just stared at it, yawned, but said nothing.

Like I said, this is a box of quality loot. Retail value of the items is somewhere between 50-70 dollars, and this is stuff I am happy to have. For comparison, this blew my May loot Crate out of the water. Based on this month's delivery, I can recommend Horror Block for anyone interested. Of course, this is just one month. We'll see what they send next month. Can't wait!
