A lot of great spooky content dropped for Halloween 2024, didn’t it? Netflix’s docuseries The Manhattan Alien Abduction and the Peacock series Teacup and Hysteria! were the releases I was anticipating most. But a couple of other things snuck up and surprised me, including Netflix’s This Is the Zodiac SpeakingContinue Reading
“What does a vampire smell like?” Nosferatu, a new vampire perfume from Heretic Parfum, gives us a whiff. The short answer is: “cold, pale and pellucid, the fragrance evokes the uneasy chill of encountering an apparition.” But there’s more to it than that, including why the fragrance was developed toContinue Reading
Technically, The Manhattan Alien Abduction is a good docuseries if you measure it by its binge-ability. It was on my Halloween must-binge list, and I gobbled up all three episodes of the Netflix documentary pretty much in one sitting. (Except for breaks to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters.) But it’sContinue Reading
Are there any serial killer cases, whether solved or unsolved, that you’re just done with hearing about at this point? They’ve been analyzed and talked about to death. Can’t we just move on? I feel that way about two cases: Jack the Ripper and the Zodiac Killer case. I wasContinue Reading
“Who’s this from?” I wondered when I opened the small package and discovered an Adopt A Ghost inside. It was a logical question since I hadn’t ordered it, and it didn’t include a gift message. However, it also made me wonder something else. “Do they sell this version on AmazonContinue Reading
Even before I learned about the Teal Pumpkin Project, which aims to make Halloween more inclusive for kids with food allergies, I liked to hand out non-candy treats. Partly because I have friends whose kids can’t eat certain foods. I vowed never again to see the look of disappointment thatContinue Reading
My anticipation for Peacock’s new sci-fi horror thriller series, Teacup, was high even before I learned about the Overnightmare event at the Stanley Hotel. Which in part was to promote upcoming Peacock shows like Teacup (as well as Hysteria!) and Blumhouse’s new video game “Fear the Spotlight.” In fact, Hysteria!-inspiredContinue Reading
2024’s Fantastic Fest –one of the largest horror and sci-fi film festivals in the world— offered tons of fantastic premieres, including hits like Terrifier 3 and V/H/S Beyond. But one of the festival’s coolest films was an under-the-radar gem, Strange Harvest: Occult Murder in the Inland Empire. Horror fans areContinue Reading
Highbrow cinephiles often snub horror movies as unworthy of their viewing time. Even the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), which awards the industry’s highest honor, the Oscars, is often accused of bias against horror movies. I get it. Most horror movies equate to nothing more than justContinue Reading
Alaina Urquhart, an autopsy technician, and Ash Kelley, a hairstylist, host the popular podcast Morbid, where they dissect true crime, creepy history, and all things spooky. They refer to their listeners as “weirdos” and open each episode with “Hey Weirdos.” Naturally, Spencer’s makes an obvious choice for their Morbid Collection.Continue Reading
Okay, it’s exciting enough that Netflix released a new volume of Unsolved Mysteries episodes on October 2. But even better, just in time for Haloween, of this season’s four episodes, three examine supernatural mysteries! “Mysterious Mutilations” (episode 3) explores whether humans or extraterrestrials are responsible for cattle mutilations. “The RoswellContinue Reading
Before I launch into this post, let me start by saying my thoughts and prayers are with the people of North Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Helene’s destruction. Especially those in the western half of the state. Having seen first-hand the years of rebuilding that both hurricanes and floodsContinue Reading
