NSFW Creepy Crate Review + Coupon – Spring 2019

Wow, this box! How did I miss this review? I think it is definitely interesting but I in no way see how anything is glorified. I agree with some comments that if this box is not for you, then move on and skip it. I think it delivers and I am really interested in it. While I wont stick the sticker on my bumper or my kitchen window, I think its wicked and neat. I also never realized he worked for ADT — like whoa!

Also Paul Holes is so hot and genuinely so interesting and I love his voice (listen to his podcast every week) and I really want the book!

Um, BTK killed children I think the sticker is inappropriate I would much prefer a box about fictional serial killers and things that don’t exploit real people.

The box is great and delivers what it promised. That said I think the BTK sticker and the coasters are in very poor taste.

For those saying if you don’t like, it don’t comment on it, this is completely different than not liking sheet masks or candles or a hundred other benign things.

I don’t see how anyone can defend profiting off another person’s tragedy — parading their pain around for the world to view as entertainment. It isn’t creepy. It’s disgusting. People aren’t commenting because they are sensitive or grossed out. They are commenting because it’s wrong and at some point, you have to stand up for what is right.

As I read the comments, I thought how great it is we can all express ourselves so freely and make choices that back up our opinions! There are so many places in the world that you cannot do this or would risk going to jail or worse when expressing your opinion. It’s GREAT that we have this freedom : )

I’m a true crime buff ( Ann Rule ruled) and I’d definitely get this!! In fact, I’m going to sign up.

I’d like a tasteful homage to Sharon Tate in a box as this is the 50th anniversary of her murder, AND an actress portraying her is featured in the movie ” Once Upon A Time In Hollywood”.

Things I wouldn’t want: Food container items from SKs known to consume their victims’ remains; Anything that could POSSIBLY exploit a dead or missing child ( NO JB Ramsey dolls, for example).

I wouldn’t mind the Elizabeth Short coasters with her living photo, but knowing what the entire bisected torso looks like ( thanks, Internet- not), the postmortem image is very triggering for me. Am I the only one??

I can READ about almost anything but the photos really get to me. My imagination totally fills in the visual imagery in books with no gruesome photos.

I do like that they include a book in the subscription box.

AND, as a person who has a security system that was replaced once ADT’s history became known (
I’d love YARD SIGNS that say ” BTK” insead of ” ADT”, not just the window stickers.

So, yeah, really cool box as long as a few boundaries aren’t crossed into exploitation of female and child victims.

It doesn’t bother me but I wouldn’t use the coasters. This box is called creepy and totally delivers. Every time I don’t like something I just think i am not their target market. No need to tear the box to pieces or the reviewers. Just find something you like.

Kinda tacky & offensive… that being said, i think i want to sign up for this box!

Well it is called creepy crate.. and the theme is always True Crime… personally the autopsy photo coasters don’t bother me. We see countless amounts of violence and gore in movies in television. Putting a disclaimer at the top however would t be a bad idea MSA. It’s understandable how the subject matter could be sensitive to some.

I read this review yesterday and was absolutely flabbergasted at the contents of this box. I don’t normally review but I had the most terrifying dream last night that was directly related to the contents of this box and I am an adult.

I feel a little better seeing others like me think that this is in poor taste and crosses the line from creepy – I would expect ghosts, skeletons stuff like that – into just vile, disrespectful and disgusting.

You are better than this MSA. And the curators of this box/convention featured need to look at themselves.

I for one thought the security sticker was very clever and funny. And I wouldn’t exactly call it glorifying murder in a dangerous way..People have always had a fascination with serial killers and death among many other taboo things..If anything It’s a way of coping with and facing ones fears. The Elizabeth Short autopsy photo’s I did cringe slightly at though. i felt bad for her being on display like that and couldn’t imagine setting my drink on her face :(. …But i do think this box looks interesting and am definitely going to keep my eye on it. I Would like to see more reviews.

While I get the fascination with true crime, some of these items — especially the coasters — glamorize murder in a way that is very harmful.

Elizabeth Short’s death in particular has been used to objectify women and eroticize the murders of young, beautiful women for literal decades. Isn’t it time for us to do better?

The coasters and “security” sticker are distasteful.

I just want the wine glasses. LOL

Those coasters are highly disrespectful. It’s one thing to be into creepy things. It’s another thing entirely to have coasters made out of someone’s autopsy photos. She may be a famous victim but she was a person too.

Not gonna lie, this box is offputting. Making money by glorifying murder is a low spot in our increasingly calloused world. I like Dateline as well at the next person, but splashing out a real victims autopsy photo on something as asinine as a coaster or thinking a BTK home security sticker is cheeky is next level.
Hard pass.

Interesting box. I love horror and true crime. I’ll need to see other boxes before deciding. Has MSA reviewed other months?
