Fright Flicks cards

Anyone remember these Fright Flicks trading cards? I used to love them as a kid. I was just thinking about how different things are these days. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m older or what, but it just doesn’t seem like it used to be. I guess every generation goes through that…that’s why there’s the same old ‘ “When I was your age…” stories we get told by our parents and grandparents.

But seriously, think about it… Today everything is instant acces, instant gratification. You no longer have to wait for Saturday mornings for cartoons. There are (several) channels that show them 24 hours a day. You don’t have to wait a week for your favorite show to come on..you can just set your DVR to record an entire season. And when was the last time you saw a “new” trailer at the theater? Chances are you saw it when it went online weeks (sometimes months) before that.

My point is, I’m constantly trying to recreate the joy I used to experience as a kid. But there isn’t much out there right now that makes me feel like I did when I was young. Sure, once and awhile some new technology will come around and I’ll drool over it (see previous bost on Blu-Ray), but it’s usually it’s the things I used to have that create that bring out that little kid in me. For instance, I just ordered a few of those Fright Flicks cards and I was just as excited to open them now as I was 10 and  rode my BMX down to the convenience store to buy a pack with my hard-earned allowance. The only difference is that I won’t eat the gum in these…after all, it is over 20 years old.

What about you?  What got you excited when you were a kid? Do you find yourself feeling nostalgic for those things? Post your comments…I’d love to hear’em!

Yes, you are reading yet another blog.

I could probably list out many of the reasons why I chose to start one, but I’ll save everyone the headache of a long intro speech. I will say that I plan to use this space to talk about new products, ideas, the inner-workings of Fright-Rags, and probably some horror in general. After all, I’m a fan of the genre…I wouldn’t be doing these shirts if I wasn’t

So yes, you are reading another blog. I’ll do my best not to bore you.
