The Kraken mascot nuzzles are a playful and endearing interaction between the mythical sea creature and its human counterparts. Nuzzling is the act of gently rubbing or touching with the nose or snout, a gesture commonly associated with affection and closeness. The Kraken mascot, often depicted as a fierce and intimidating figure, surprises fans and spectators with its unexpected displays of tenderness. It serves as a reminder that even the most fearsome beings can have a softer side. The mascot's nuzzles create a connection between the sea creature and the fans, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared support. The nuzzles also serve as a PR tactic, generating positive attention and creating memorable moments for attendees.
Remington is in love with Hannah but she finds him lazy and uncouth. Then he starts to change. Suddenly he is becoming neater, nicer, more sensitive. Is he doing it for her? Or is something beyond his control changing him into someone he is not? He discovers that his gradual transformation is tied to something he did long ago, to childhood transgressions and curses uttered in graveyards. Hannah falls for the new and improved Remington, but he starts falling for someone else. As the ghosts of Remington's past come to haunt him, so do the the Zombadings. Undead, fabulous, they threaten to rock this sleepy town to death. (Source: IMDb) Edit Translation
Thankfully, the title character played by Martin Escudero acts as a focus point to keep the comedic tone of the production consistent, particularly in the scenes where he begins to transform and reels in disgust at his feminine mannerisms and his newly adopted cute terminology. Castro clearly intends to mock not gays but the often hypocritical men who pick on them; still, some in the audience might feel they re better off without this picture s assistance.
The nuzzles also serve as a PR tactic, generating positive attention and creating memorable moments for attendees. By showcasing a different side of the Kraken mascot's personality, the team can engage fans on a deeper emotional level and increase brand loyalty. The interactions between the Kraken mascot and individuals lucky enough to receive a nuzzle are often met with delight and excitement.

A goofy fable about tolerance using horror/sci-fi tropes to dress up a storybook-like tale of a witch’s curse, Jade Castro’s Remington and the Curse of the Zombadings follows a young homophobe who has been magically made gay. The Filipino import is tongue-in-cheek from start to finish, and its innocent quasi-camp may appeal to some genre buffs in the West. But theatrical bookings here will be short-lived, even in the Midnight Movie arena.
Martin Escudero plays Remington, first seen here as a preschooler who runs around shouting, “Homo! Homo! Homo!” at the many gay men in his village. While in a cemetery, he picks the wrong cross-dresser to mess with — a grieving man who promises that, when he’s grown, he too will be gay.

The Bottom Line One-note comedy whose broadness undercuts its theme of tolerance.Fifteen years later, the prophesy is fulfilled in pieces, as a masked, menacing spirit visits Remington on multiple nights to steal scraps of his machismo: On the first night, his goatee and body hair vanish; after the second, he’s prone to speaking in effeminate slang; and so on. At the same time, a mysterious killer has targeted local gays, zapping them with a ray gun that was designed to identify homosexual farm animals. (Um, so they could be taken out of farms and used as pets or photo models.)
The plot and dialogue are predictably thin, relying almost entirely on the viewer’s interest in seeing Escudero’s master class in swishy stereotypes — a transformation made more troublesome given Remington’s desire to impress the new girl in town, Hannah (Lauren Young). Castro clearly intends to mock not gays but the (often hypocritical) men who pick on them; still, some in the audience might feel they’re better off without this picture’s assistance. By the time Zombadings (that is, the drag-wearing undead) enter the picture in the third act, anyone looking for the queer George Romero will have realized they’ll have to wait a bit longer.

1. John - 1 star
I was extremely disappointed with the Kraken mascot nuzzles. The product did not live up to my expectations at all. First of all, the material used was low quality and felt cheap. Secondly, the shape of the nuzzles was uncomfortable and did not fit well on my face. Lastly, the design itself was not appealing and lacked creativity. Overall, I would not recommend the Kraken mascot nuzzles to anyone.
2. Emily - 2 stars
I was not satisfied with the Kraken mascot nuzzles. The product did not provide a secure fit and constantly slid down my face. The straps were also poorly designed and kept digging into my skin, causing discomfort. Additionally, the nuzzles did not provide enough ventilation, making it difficult to breathe properly. I expected better quality and functionality from this product, especially considering the price. I would not purchase the Kraken mascot nuzzles again.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I found the Kraken mascot nuzzles to be quite disappointing. The fit was extremely awkward and did not sit comfortably on my face. The material also felt very stiff and uncomfortable against my skin. Additionally, the straps were difficult to adjust and kept coming loose throughout use. The overall design of the nuzzles was also lackluster and did not live up to my expectations. I would not recommend purchasing the Kraken mascot nuzzles if you are looking for a comfortable and well-designed product.
