I look froward to this challenge every year. This will be my 5th year participating and the 6th year it has been done. The basic idea is to watch 100 horror movies that you have never seen from August 1 to Halloween. Shockingly I have only completed this challenge once and that was in 2022... Continue Reading →
Have you ever heard a name and thought you knew who they were talking about but couldn’t figure out why? Joe Lansdale is that person for me. I have read The Drive-In, and the movie Bubba Ho-Tep is a guilty pleasure of mine, but for some reason I never make the connection to Mr. Lansdale.... Continue Reading →
Heart-Shaped Box Let me start with an apology. Even though, there is no way Joe Hill will actually see this or even care that I was harsh to him, it will make me feel better and clear my conscious . So here I go… This is my second read of this book. My first time... Continue Reading →

With this, I have also gotten the urge to write reviews again.... Continue Reading →

Your usual stool is waiting and I have some Halloween Spirits I think you’ll enjoy. Life has been absolute bonkers for me. I had intentions to mix these myself... Continue Reading →
Incidents Around the House I have always loved scary stories. Hauntings, demons, and crazed slashers were the subjects of my library picks for many years. What started with R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps graduated to Stephen King and Clive Barker. Yet, up until recently I really only knew of a select few authors who wrote horror. The... Continue Reading →
Stream (2024) I first heard about this movie from a twitter post by the amazing and talented Felissa Rose when this was in the pre production phase. The more information that started to come out, and the list of horror icons that were signing on to this project steadily grew my excitement for this. Check... Continue Reading →
