Nobody puts baillee in the corner

It’s almost been a whole year without you. I’m writing this in mid-June because I want to give myself time before I read this again and post it on the anniversary of your death. I don’t know if it’s helpful or harmful, but either way, it’s what feels right.  Almost a whole year without your…

I’ve been reflecting a lot on my past lately. Not in a self-depreciating way but to think about how far I’ve come. I recently went through the old backpack I would schlep back and forth to work, and I realized I had to work so many shifts as a barista, store manager, etc… that I…

Since KP died, I’ve gotten more and more comfortable with simply existing. Sure, grief isn’t linear, and a routine helps with coping, but it’s more than that. I’ve gotten comfortable with doing the same thing over and over each day. With not reaching out to friends when I should. With not spending my spare time…

It’s finally time to talk about the infamous scare scene from Exorcist III! This jump scare is one of THE best in horror history, and I whole-heartedly mean it. The anticipation is palpable. The payoff is excellent. AND the fact it’s mostly a static shot, my GOD. Nothing is thrown in your face. Every single…

The past few days have felt like an episode of Russian Doll. I feel like I’m repeating the same steps over and over again, and I can’t quite seem to find my way out of the loop.  I’ve always been told grief and healing aren’t linear, and the past few days have proven it. I miss…

V/H/S and V/H/S/2 took the horror community by storm… and then came V/H/S Viral, where we all felt betrayed. (If you haven’t seen it, don’t). We thought the franchise was dead in the water. We thought our beloved V/H/S movies would stop there. Then, the announcement came for V/H/S/94, and I was terrified. V/H/S Viral…

I’ve become a big fan of giallo horror and, Italian horror in general, thanks to Joe Bob Briggs. The Last Drive-In covered Demons during its first season (before we all knew that we’d get more seasons and all cried with Joe Bob when we thought he signed off for the last time). And, I immediately fell in love with…

I’m obviously a horror buff, through-and-through. I grew up with the likes of Eerie, Indiana and Goosebumps. I spent my summers on Fear Street and with Christopher Pike. I even made sure that our TV lived AMC FearFest for its entire run. That’s why Halloween 4 and Halloween 5 have such a special place in…

I absolutely love The Guest, and if given the opportunity, I’ll talk your ear off about it. It’s like Halloween meets Terminator. The soundtrack is BITCHIN’. And, the Dan Stevens bathroom scene – WOOF. That being said, I still think it’s super underrated, and it’s an absolute must see. I also have a few other…

My first exposure to the Evil Dead franchise was on a Sunday afternoon when I was 14. I had been at a band competition the entire day before, so I was exhausted and was channel surfing on the living room couch when I stumbled upon the first Evil Dead starting on Fuse (tell me you’re…
