31 Day Horror Challenge: 21. Black and White- The Brain That Wouldn’t Die
This has been the absolute hardest prompt for me because I was not only tasked with narrowing down my list of favorite black and white horror flicks, but I could only choose one to focus on today. I finally landed on The Brain That Wouldn’t Die for today (you’ll learn why shortly), and fortunately for everyone reading…

31 Day Horror Challenge: 20. First Time Watch – Spiral
I knew going in to Spiral it would be a hard watch, but I didn’t expect it to break my heart as badly as it did. For those who don’t know, Spiral focuses on a gay couple who move to a rural suburb with their daughter, and it seems their new neighborhood might not be as idyllic and accepting…

31 Day Horror Challenge: 18. 90s Horror – The Good Son
Before rewatching The Good Son, I had an entirely different blog post planned. I was going to do a listicle about “those damned kids” and list other kid-centric horror flicks, but The Good Son wasn’t as scary as I remembered it being. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good movie, and hearing Kevin McCallister talk like David McCall…

31 Day Horror Challenge: 16. 80s Horror – Christine
I was raised on Stephen King. One of my first ever, full-blown horror movies was Carrie (thanks Ma, for telling me I had to sit really close to the screen during the final jump scare). I read a different Stephen King novel every single October, and that’s exactly why I chose Christine today for 80s horror; I thought it…

31 Days of Horror Challenge: 12. Creepy Crawlies – Arachnophobia
Outside of cockroaches, I’m not really bothered by creepy crawlies. However, if you throw in some good ol’ fashioned, oozing, disgusting, body horror with it, I’ll still watch it while eating popcorn, BUT I’ll be squirming the entire time. With that being said, I present to you some of my favorite, bug-centric flicks of all…

31 Days of Horror Challenge: 10. Bad Witch – Hereditary
I saw Hereditary for the first time alone in a theater, and I honestly think it was for the better. I had the chance to reflect on it before discussing it with anyone, and I was able to connect it to my own experiences without any outside influence. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve rewatched…

31 Days of Horror Challenge: 6. Hail Satan – The Babysitter
I was originally going to go with Rosemary’s Baby for the Hail Satan prompt today, but like I’ve mentioned before, I’m trying to branch out and talk about movies I’ve either never written or talked about on my old podcast or don’t mention as frequently; thus, I landed on The Babysitter! It’s so much fun, and I love…

31 Days of Horror Challenge: 4. Clay/Animation – Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island
I think I’m really fortunate to have grown up when I did. We had some PRIME horror cartoons and specials. Zeke the Plumber, The Scooby-Doo Project (The Blair Witch Project parody), Hocus Pocus, Goosebumps, The Halloween Tree, all of the spooky DCOMs, incredible sitcom Halloween specials, the list goes on and on. I was also really lucky that my mom was…

31 Days of Horror Challenge (2. Horror Comedy) – The Final Girls
I never thought I would cry as hard as I did today during The Final Girls. I never thought I would have to face my own mother’s mortality like Max does. I never thought I would have to come to terms with only having videos and memories. I always forget how much I love this movie until…

The Misery Chick
Before I even open my mouth (or in this case, keyboard), I know I’m better off than a lot of people. I have a mother who would stand at the gates of Hell for me. I have friends who have done and continue to do more for me than I can ever imagine or deserve.…
