THE HORROR OF FANTASY LAND

Fantasy Land -- sounds like a place everyone would want to visit, doesn't it? Alas, as we learn in this Scary-Crayon coloring book review, you'd do well to steer clear of the land these horrific hooved clones call home.  (1/25/12)

OPRAH'S WONDERFUL MAGAZINE

Years ago, we reviewed several issues of "O, The Oprah Magazine" rather harshly. Well, things have changed, and now we know just how fantastic this publication truly is! Join us as we look at the April 2011 issue.  (4/1/11)

THE UNLOVED LITTLE RABBIT.

There are a lot of great, instructive children's stories -- but The Little Rabbit Who Wanted Red Wings is not one of them. In this summary review, Wes points out just what's wrong with this tale... and offers a new ending.  (1/31/10)

COLOURING WITH SCARY FACES!!!

In 1987, while traveling through London town, I discovered the greatest coloring book ever. Now, over a decade later, it is my extreme privilege to share the magic and awe of Scary Faces with you. You are not ready.  (1/26/09)

STICKY NEW MADBALLS!!!

Although we've billed this as a sticker review, our analysis of these appalling adhesives mostly details our thoughts about the new Madballs depicted on them. And how could we not? They're delightfully disgusting!  (8/11/08)

CARE BEARS AND MADBALLS...

...together! There have been plenty of amazing comic book crossovers, but none so unlikely as the 1987 meeting of the Care Bears and the Madballs. Intrigued? Then check it out here, but beware: awful puns abound.  (1/26/08)

MERRY XMAS, AMELIA BEDELIA!!!

And here's the last piece of the year: a summary review and commentary of Merry Christmas, Amelia Bedelia, a kids' book that details the holiday escapades of America's most hilarious housekeeper. She's hawt, too.  (12/31/06)

COSMOPOLITAN IS TERRIBLE.

Here at Scary-Crayon, we occasionally come under fire for reviewing things that weren't meant for us, but that hasn't stopped us yet! Today, our proud tradition continues with a look at the February 2002 issue of Cosmo.  (5/18/06)

HARRY POTTER AND WHAT?

Once again, Scary-Crayon deigns to address the world of Harry Potter! However, despite the title of Harry Potter and Philosophy, Rowling's young wizard plays little more than a supporting role in this particular book.  (12/7/05)

WELCOME TO FUTURELAND.

It's time for another Scary-Crayon book review! Step into Walter Mosley's Futureland, a collection of sci-fi tales that deal with race in the immediate future. There's quite a bit of serious commentary in this one, too.  (9/22/05)
