Most Halloween-theme- d food items you see at parties are meant to look like theyd be found at a crime scene. Nothing is appetizing to me about eating something that looks like human remains. Even Burger Kings new Whopper with the black bun makes me think twice. So when I volunteered to make a Halloween treat of my own and write about it, I had a few things to consider. I have a weak stomach for anything that appears to be covered in blood. I'm an abysmal cook, so there cant be too many steps in the recipe. If the preparation time is longer than a few minutes, Ill probably lose interest and eat the ingredients individually. I decided I should just make 7 multi-colore- i t j J 'Hf f- l- ftp i Check out Justin Badger's BuzzFeed Food Opinion editor Nick Anderson creates an alcoholic drink from BuzzFeed The "Alien Brain Flemorrhage" is made with peach schnapps, red grenadine, blue curacao and Irish cream a drink, and better yet, a drink that could deliver a little liquid courage on such a spooky holiday. This is when I found instructions for the Alien Brain Hemorrhage on BuzzFeed. The ABH is made with peach schnapps, red grenadine, blue curacao and Irish cream. Three of the ingredients can be found at the local liquor store, and the grenadine will be at any grocery store.

If an alien fatally d Iris flying saucer on earth and someone put what remained of his brains in a shot glass, this is probably what it would look like. I still drank it, of course. Then I followed it up with one or two or seven more. Turns out, alien brains taste pretty good. The drink was almost overwhelmingly sugary, year. The process is easy and truly horrific. Fill a shot glass about three quarters full with peach schnapps. Next, pour in just enough grenadine so it settles at the bottom and creates a red base. Add roughly the same amount of blue curacao, and that will sink to create a blue layer on top of the red. To finish, fill the rest of the shot glass with Irish cream. The cream will separate from the rest of the drink and coagulate into what looks crash-lande- Crimson Peak frustrating, film beautifully-designe- d DixieSunNews.com " u - ! ..w nwm . 11 which means it might not be good to have too much of, but the only real downside was the texture of the Irish cream. I could feel it slide across my tongue and down my throat, still in a big, brainy clump. If you want a dnnk that looks disgusting, and if youre a responsible adult, give the Alien Brain Hemorrhage a try. It might not look great, but after you down two or three, Im sure you wont mind anymore.

If looks made the movie, and they can in the right circumstances, this movie would be made. Crimson Peak represents circumstances. Its the and latest from director Guillermo del Toro. The fantasist is best known for Pans Labyrinth, and he works very close to his subconscious when his cinematic and storytelling instincts are serving him well. But Crimson Peak is frustrating from nearly every angle. It lets the audience race ahead of the reveals, while struggling to put all that tantalizingly rich atmosphere to effective narrative use. et tminruii KARLI a KUHN SPOOFS EDITOR What is your favorite animal?

It begins in Buffalo, here New York, with lovely digital effects and good art direction featuring lots and lots of bowler hats and bustles. Aspiring short story writer Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska), named cheekily after the Hammer horror stalwart Peter Cushing, can see dead people, her late mother especially, whos given to sudden vapory appearances and cryptic warnings regarding a crimson peak of some sort. Edith has one respectable suitor, a nice doctor (Charlie Hunnam, who gave up the Fifty Shades franchise for this?) who smells a rat when his romantic rival hits town. The interloper, Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston, simultaneously hammy and restrained. How do the Brits manage that so easily?), seeks backers for his claymining operation back home in England. The clay 1 ' i k in question is crimson, and the plainly haunted family estate, Allerdale Hall, creaks and groans atop a hill, which is very nearly a ... peak. Aha! Sharpes sister Lucille (Jessica Chastain, having as little fun as is actorly possible) harbors a secret and looks like shell be killing any minute in every scene. The complicated motivations behind what del Toro intends as a perverse love story serve to clutter rather than energize the present-tens- e action. Once the action moves to England, and Edith consents to marry her dashing, untrustworthy Thomas, the heroine becomes a standard-issue damsel in various sorts of distress. Not even the films occasional bursts of ultra violence, or the endlessly oozing red clay, or Hiddleston crying a red tear, or Chastain swanning around in one flaming crimson ball gown after another, can infuse this gorgeous bore with anything like suspense. not-so-sec- red-blood- ed cubs and probably saved its owners house from any damage if mama bear were to come searching for her cubs. Nothing cures the headache from homework and studying for tests better than watching cute animal videos. OK maybe not nothing, but the two videos I found on viralviralvideos.com sure did make me smile. Plus, its always nice to take a break from studying. Little Bulldog Scares Bears Away From House I dont think I would ever be brave enough to face off a bear, especially if I was as small as a cute, little black bulldog. But to my surprise, that little dog had guts as it chased two bear cubs away from its owners house. Either that dog is extremely brave or extremely stupid. Thats what I love about dogs, though. Theyre always surprising you with their skills or making you laugh from their somewhat stupidity. The dog managed to scare away both bear Dog Drives Little Boy In Toy Car If your dog can drive a car, then Im pretty sure he or she can do anything. The dog in this adorable video wasnt driving a real car but one of those mini toy cars you use to drive around with your friends when you were little and you pretended you were all adults. I dont know if I would ever let my dog drive me around, unless he took driving lessons first. But I have to say that is one talented dog for sure, and the little boy seemed like he was OK with being in the passenger seat. The mom in the video also seemed like she was OK with the dog driving her kid around, which makes me wonder what else this dog can do. This video goes to show that even though dogs can have their moments of stupidity, they also have moments of showing humans how smart they are. If youre ever in need of a good guard dog or you hate having to drive, these two dogs can help you out. |
