Nobody puts baillee in the corner

It’s so weird being in your 30s. Don’t get me wrong. I love it, and I’m only 31, so I’m not too terribly far in, but hear me out. As you begin to leave your 20s, there are a lot of changes and shifts within your routine and friend group.  You start to care more…

Ever since I moved away from home for college, the holidays have lost a little of their magic. (To clarify, I’m talking about Thanksgiving and Christmas because Halloween is still my everything).  Don’t get me wrong. I still write my letter to “Santa” (it’s more of a letter to the universe/to show myself how much…

Anytime I watch a movie with Karen Black, I’m enamored by her performance. She stands out amongst any cast, including movies like Trilogy of Terror, where she plays multiple characters.  She brings this level of high camp without chewing the scenery, and I’ve never really seen another actor perform the way she does within the horror…

Eight Legged Freaks fell within the beautiful time span where horror comedies like it and Slither reigned supreme.  Part Arachnophobia, part parody of giant creature features, it helps to bridge the gap between horror lovers and those who are horror movie averse.  David Arquette once again proves why he belongs within the horror genre and once again…

The charm of Chopping Mall lies in how painfully 80s it is. From the demonstration video to the its synth-heavy soundtrack, we never forget we’re deeply rooted in the 80s, where the mall was king.  The fact that the line “nothing can go wrong” is uttered within the first five minutes only proves we’re in for a…

I know that Tony Todd’s role in Final Destination may be small, but it’s crucial. It’s been argued that he’s actually Death or some sort of reaper instead of a mere coroner. And, I agree. I think he’s much more than a harbinger of doom, but I digress.  The Final Destination series is another series I grew up watching.…

Boy howdy, do I love Funny Games.  I first watched the remake (which is almost a shot-for-shot remake of the original and was also directed by Michael Haneke) when I was stuck home with Swine Flu during my senior year of high school.  Because KP was the best, she went to our local Blockbuster and came…

Oh, Terror Train.  Part of the Jamie Lee Curtis 1978-1980 horror trifecta, Terror Train is a weird little gem.  It plays into multiple subgenres: transportation horror, revenge horror, college slasher, you name it.  You might also know it from such hits tropes as:  “Oh no, it’s you!”  Taking places on the anniversary of an unfortunate death.  Getting a…

30 has been incredibly cruel..  I lost KP six weeks before my 30th birthday, a birthday she was so very excited for.  I’ve spent over a year grieving for her.  On the other hand, 30 has been incredibly kind.  I’ve built a blog and YouTube channel with one of my best friends.  I’ve shared so…

Okay, I’m going to level with all of you upfront. I’ve written some deeply personal things throughout my blogging tenure. However, I shared some things with one of my besties/editor tonight, and I figured that it was about time to share them with all of you.  It’s no secret that I hate online dating. I’ve…
