Return of Horror Haiku Reviews

As all 3 of you who pay attention to this site may have noticed, we've been dormant for over a year. In that time, the proprietors have been dealing with the aftermath of the Econopocalypse.

Thanks to those that have asked about "What happened to the haiku project?" We haven't forgotten about it, but unfortunately it's had to take a back-seat while aspects of ReaLife(TM) were being taken care of.

Things are finally settling down a bit, which means more silly haikus about questionable movies coming in the future.

On a related note, special congratulations to Jent on securing full-time work with GeekChic. If you're a tabletop gamer with extra money to burn, I recommend checking out their selection of luxury gaming tables and supply storage options. If you don't have extra money (and we here feel your pain), still go check out their site and drool while you consider your stack of milk-crates.

Then have a good cry, it will make you feel better. We won't tell.
