Silly fact about me: I’m really into classic movie monsters, mischievous gremlins, and anything campy or kitschy. I love miniatures too; collecting them and making them is a big thing for me. And I can’t resist novelty items or a good pun; wordplay is basically my love language when it comes to humor.
