Nobody puts baillee in the corner

How well do you really know your neighbors? There’s something especially heinous when the real evil only lies a few feet from your own front door.  I think that’s why this particular subgenre IS so terrifying—there have been so many real cases of people discovering their neighbors have done terrible things.  In the spirit of Summer of 84, I…

As a millennial, I can confirm that I never answer numbers I don’t know. And occasionally, I don’t even answer the ones I do. That’s why I have to remind myself that there was actually a time where we all enjoyed using landlines and talking on the phone for hours on end. (At least I…

Man, I love witches. Honestly, they might be my favorite type of character. From characters shrouded in mystery like Elly Kedward to fashionable demon ass-kickers like the Halliwells, I LOVE me some good witch content.  In a recent episode of The Boulet Brothers’ Creatures of the Night, Drac and Swan ranked some of their favorite witches…

Horror comedies can be divisive, but I personally fall into the pro camp. In my humble opinion, the line between horror and comedy is so thin because you’re trying to evoke big emotions with both. That’s why comedians tend to make such excellent horror directions.  Plus, y’know, my sense of humor sometimes skews a little…

Much like Lin Shaye, Dee Wallace is a true horror icon. Whether battling aliens, werewolves, or the rabies-ravaged dog from Stephen King’s imagination, she’s been through it all.  That’s why, today, I want to pay homage to the queen herself and pick five of my favorite Dee Wallace roles. A couple of these might surprise…

You probably don’t need me to tell you that Lin Shaye is horror royalty. She’s a scene-stealer in every single movie she’s in, and The Call is no exception.  I watched this movie for the first time on Shudder soon after it was released, if memory serves, and I’ve been enamored by her performance ever since (also,…

In honor of today’s prompt, I thought I would do something a little cheeky and write out five AirBnB “reviews” for some of my favorite haunted and/or spooky houses.  Is this one of those pieces that amuses me more than anybody else? Probably. But I promise we’ll still have fun together.  So test your luck…

I’ve been toying with the idea of dating again since last fall, but I keep dragging my heels.  I wouldn’t necessary call my love life “lucky,” but I’ve come to realize I’ve been “lucky” in the sense that I’ve never had to rely on the apps before.  In a pre-COVID world, I always met people…

It’s like my body knows when your anniversary is creeping in before my brain catches on.  This has been the hardest year without you yet.  I want to celebrate so many victories with you—both mine and the ones of my friends you loved like your own children.  I’ve picked up my phone so many times…

I try not to live with regrets, but I also have severe anxiety, so I can’t help but think back on the actions of my past and try not to spiral.  This story is one that I can’t help but think about from time to time.  Spenser was a mutual friend of some of the…
