Catacombs (2007) Movie Review

Catacombs (2007) IMDB AMZN

A woman visits her sister in Paris, because who wouldn’t want to visit Paris with a free place to stay and a tour guide ? Why visit the Eiffel Tower when you can can go underground to a secret rave in the catacombs of Paris surrounded with millions of skeletal remains ? I wouldn’t do that. But our characters do. I mean as you enter a sign reads “Arrête! C'est ici l'empire de la Mort”. Anyway, our character leaves the rave and gets lost in the maze that is the catacombs. And something sinister is after her. We have a lot of darkness, shaky camera, flickering lights, running, and screaming. And bones. Lots of bones. What we don’t have is a good horror movie. If you want to watch a good horror movie that takes place in the catacombs of Paris, choose As Above, So Below (2014).

I give it a 4/10.

Lost in the Snack Aisle: Grocery Mazes spotted !

I was shopping for groceries at my local Aldi when I stumbled upon a maze in an unexpected place, on the back of a box of crackers ! Specifically this box of Turtles Baked Extra Cheddar Snack Crackers. So, I did what any normal person would do and took a picture of the maze to share with you. While I have seen mazes on boxes before they have all been on cereal boxes…and suddenly I have the urge to check the backs of all of them to see if there are any more mazes in the grocery store !

And now a few weeks later (Fall 2023) I can confirm there is another maze. This time it was found in a place I would expect - the cereal section with this maze I found on a box of Honey Nut Cheerios ! Another circular maze. When you see the maze, since there is no Start and goal noted - do you try to escape the center or get to the center ? I always like to escape !

And in Fall of 2024 we have an update from Honey Nut Cheerios with a new maze type that I love !

And again, now that I have more time I found 2 more mazes at the local Aldi store. The first is a traditional maze on a box of animal crackers.

And the second is one of 3 games on the back of Honey Grahams cereal. We have a traditional maze, a word finder and a connect the dots.

Thank you Aldi for the great mazes (and especially thanks to the designer) ! Have you seen any mazes at your local grocery store ?
