Nobody puts baillee in the corner

From the open chord of Bowling for Soup’s cover of “Little Red Riding Hood” to the gratuitous low-rise jeans, this movie is so 2004 it hurts. However, the little winks to the horror genre and how everyone and their mother managed scored a part in this movie make it worth while.  We start with a…

Hell Fest, Blood Fest, and Haunt make up my 2018/2019, masked killer with some slightly paranormal undertones trifecta. I chose Hell Fest because it was the first one I saw of the three, and the ending is just :chef’skiss:. Hell Fest focuses on Natalie, who after returning home on a break from college, reunites with her friends and potential love interest…

One Dark Night is like a mix of the final act of The Craft sans the group being witches,  Phantasm, and the gooey-ness of Prince of Darkness but with really cool jackets and complete that quintessential, easily-80s, funky orchestral soundtrack. This was another first time watch for me, and I dug it! (Pun intended)  One Dark Night serves as a cautionary tale…

It should come as absolutely no surprise that I’m a massive John Carpenter fan (I even have the Laurie Strode tattoo to prove it). I love Body Bags because it’s like the camp and twisted humor Tales from the Crypt found their way into an Adam Wingard joint that they let early Tim Burton have major creative control with…

Recently, I was on a friend’s podcast, and we spoke briefly about an old October tradition my mom and I had. You see, there was a video store in the Kroger in my hometown, so we would rent Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and The Halloween Tree from the video store, and we would grab a pack of these…

While it’s been sitting my queue for a hot minute, I sincerely didn’t know what to expect from Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight because I had avoided reading anything about it. I am happy to announce I am absolutely smitten with this little gem. Part comedy, part horror, and wholly entertaining, this little treat gives us…

Some cinematic teenagers spend their adolescence dancing and singing through the hallways; others accidentally murder someone around them and take vows of silence. Today is October 2, we’re clearly discussing the latter. I present to you five offerings of teenybopper crime that are riddled with guilt, revenge, and in some cases, resurrection. No bones about it, these…

It’s no secret that I’m an absolute sucker for a slightly derivative romantic comedy, and there are double points if it is a teen romantic comedy. I’ve acquired a little collection of favorites over the years, and I’ve been noticing a common theme: all of the heroines write some sort of article or love letter…

For weeks, I’ve had “write” on every single to-do list I’ve made. It’s stayed sandwiched between tasks like “laundry” and “clean apartment.” While all of those tasks continue to be crossed out, “write” hasn’t. I’ve started writing some blog posts again, but I felt like I still hadn’t found my voice enough after everything that’s…

As the last year of my 20s is creeping up on me, I’ve been thinking about genuinely everything. The past. The present. The future. The time I thought I could pull off gauchos. All of it. I still have so much to learn because I’m only 28, but I also feel like I’ve grown so…
