Nobody puts baillee in the corner

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…

Okay, so, this is the point in Love is a Working Title where things start to get…messy.  I’m not gonna lie… This story is one that makes me look awful.  It also takes place over the course of two decades.  Yeah… Buckle up. For the first 15 years of my life, I lived two houses…

Since we’re officially halfway through this year’s edition of Love is a Working Title, I thought it would be fun(?) to release a little piece that I’ve been working on. Enjoy.  Y’all, I’m so torn.  On one hand, I kind of want to start dating because it’s been, ahem, four years, and as we all…

Friends, I don’t know how to tell all of you this, but I’ve lived a common plotline of teen movies and books everywhere.  That’s right…. True Life: I Talked to a Boy While Pretending to Be My More Conventionally Attractive Best Friend.  Yes, I’m serious.  Heavy sigh.  From the fifth grade, all the way through…
