Happy Canada Day!
I baked this batch
of maple sugar cookies to celebrate Canada’s 146th birthday. Delicious maple goodness!

In honour of the
holiday, I decided to pay tribute to four amazing films from the great Canadian
horror director David Cronenberg.
Shivers (1975), Cronenberg’s first feature, is a wonderfully strange sci-fi
film that mixes sex and body horror. These parasitic worms infect their hosts
in the most invasive ways possible.
The similarly titled Scanners (1981) explores the world of telepathic
and telekinetic individuals known as “scanners”. The exploding-head cookie seen
here depicts a memorable moment from the film.
Videodrome (1983) tells the story of a TV station executive who discovers an eerie
snuff program broadcast by a mysterious source. As he investigates further, he
enters a world of increasingly violent and strange hallucinations.
Finally, in The Fly (1986), quirky scientist Seth
Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) attempts to solve the mystery of teleportation with
tragic, metamorphic results.
In conclusion, Canadians are weird. Let's celebrate!
"Be afraid... Be very afraid."
