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.…

Keep Trying
I’ve been sick for the past few days, so I’ve had some time to really think about everything from the past few months, and I finally realize I’ve gathered the words I need to say. It’s no big secret that I’ve had a rough few months, but I haven’t publicly addressed it, and honestly, I’m…

Every Body Makes Sacrifices
Where do I even begin with Casper? You have Christina Ricci and Bill Pullman. You have a great companion Pepsi commercial. You have the same mansion that would soon also be the setting for the music video “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back),” which I just found out this morning. Long story short, there is absolutely reason you…

Don’t Guest What’s Best
The Guest is not only one of my favorite horror movies, but it’s one of my favorite movies of all time. I can’t (and won’t) give you any context because I don’t want to ruin an ounce of this movie for you, but I will say it’s about a soldier visiting the family of a…

For The Thrills
Cheap Thrills is really about the only good thing to come out of the weird niche of dare horror we endured a few years ago. To give you a little context to this blog post, I’m going to have to give you a super watered down synopsis (I promise I’ll leave the pretentious reviews to The…

Love is Spell
I love Practical Magic; that’s common knowledge. It’s easily one of my favorite movies, and it’s probably not for any of the reasons you may think. Sure, I light candles and sage my apartment and read my tarot cards. I believe in gut feelings and bad vibes. I think everyone has a little magic in…
