Movie World Brisbane Australia – Fright Night Review

Wednesday night we attended the VIP Launch of Movie Worlds Fright Nights. Let me just say Totally Freaking Awesome! The attention to detail in theming this event was amazing. DO NOT TAKE CHILDREN!

The Zombies: These zombies get a write-up all of their own. They were gross, the would twitch and scream and sneak up behind you. This my friends is where Nightmares are created!

The Food: We ate dessert from specimen bottles and spaghetti out of the inside of a man coated in blood and gore. I must admit I got a little squeamish eating salami meats off the skeleton as that somehow that just tipped me over.

Cocktails were served in blood bags from an authentic looking Paramedic van and the red blood fondue with a back drop of blood platter was great. The pus filled donuts were yummy too.

The Scary Stuff: Ok if you survive the Zombie smoke filled walkway, then try your hand at the Wolf Creek 2 Maze or the Evil Within Maze. Either one is sure to make you poop your pants. (Make sure you go toilet first).

The first maze we hid behind a chain of people as we were attacked and screamed at by various spooky people. I can not put into words how S*** scary this was! If you love a good horror film then this is the event to come to. By the time we lined up for the Wolf Creek 2 Maze (our 2nd maze for the night) my husband thought it would be best if I went on the end to protect his butt. He spent 90% of the maze with his head down chanting “This is just a game” , “This is just a game”.

I spent most of my time telling him to look up, which he did at the exact moment the Chainsaw wheeling John Jarrett look alike came at us. My husband didn’t trust me from that point on.

Scroll Triggered Boxes

Stitching Housewives offers a ton of cute, sort of country feeling cross stitch patterns with different themes I don’t quite understand but they’re super cute so let’s get into it.

One section is called Dapper Doodads, which it looks like are all square. Tiered Tray Tidbits are generally more rectangular, and RoundAbouts are circular. There are also Sassy Strippers, and I don’t know what the difference among all the different kinds is. All of them are colorful, graphic, often with text, and mounted on something cute. A lot of them are seasonal designs.

Just as an example, here’s Charlie Chicken, a big black chicken hauling an even bigger pumpkin in a wagon past a house with sunflowers. This one is labelled as a Tiered Tray Tidbit, but again I don’t really know why.

This one uses seven colors and is 56 by 42 stitches. It comes out to 4 by 3 inches or 10 by 7.6 cm when stitched on 28 count linen (equivalent to 14 count Aida). It’s shown mounted on a wooden pumpkin, but you could put it in a frame or make it little pillow or whatever you like.

There are lots of smaller categories with some themed projects, such as “calendar crates,” which are themed for the month but don’t actually have the month on them. There’s a lot of Christmas patterns, and smaller collections of Halloween/fall and spring projects.

Another section is called “What’s in My Cup,” which features a tall coffee cup with text on it and decorations in and around the cup. For example there’s a happy birthday cup with a cake coming out of the top and surrounded by presents and balloons. The Good Old Days collection includes monthly minis with the month on one piece, a house decorated for the season and another little seasonal design.

The seasonal series includes literal seasons as well as Halloween and Christmas designs.

It’s hard to tell you what’s here but if you like the style of this one or combinations of text and fun images, check out all the goodies at Stitching Housewives.
