Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
I am very pleased and exited to bring you this interview with artist Lewis Barrett Lehrman, Painter of Dark™. If his name sounds familiar it’s because I’ve written about him and his work here before. (See Dabbling in the Dark Arts.) Mr. Lehrman allowed me into his Haunted Studio (figurativelyContinue Reading
I have another noteworthy blog to share with you this week: GhostTheory. I’ve had it on my Blogroll for a while, but lately it’s stood out to me because of an article I’m working on. (“Haunted or Hype?” which has spawned more than the original article I hoped to writeContinue Reading
October was great. There were tons and tons and tons of shows on TV about myth monsters, such as wolfmen, vampires, and Bigfoot. Two shows in particular really grabbed my imagination, though. And both dealt with the same subject matter: the Yeti, or Abominable Snowman. I’ll get to them inContinue Reading
Today’s Movie Monday feature, Death Do Us Part, comes to me courtesy of friend and fellow writer Lisa Logan. In addition to writing fiction, she’s also a Senior Acquisitions Editor for Eternal Press and partner in crime with her husband Mike in their film company, Dragonfyre Entertainment. They actually wrote,Continue Reading
Sometimes a blog just really grabs me. I like it instantly and am hooked just as fast. That’s what happened when I found Fiona Broome’s Hollow Hill. I’m still a relatively new follower. I’m not even sure how I found it. (Likely culprits are either Twitter or Ghost Hunting Theories.)Continue Reading
I thought I’d explore something a little different for Friday Fun today: the demise of scary monsters. As some of you are aware I’m nuts for zombies. I think movies and books based on them are great fun. I also think they’re one of the last of the remaining “classic”Continue Reading
Before last night’s premier of Ghost Hunters Academy I’d read SF Universe peg it as the “Hell’s Kitchen for Hunters.” Catchy title. But then I thought of Steve and Tango as the instructors and had a hard time picturing them being anywhere near as intense as Gordon Ramsay. I wasContinue Reading
On October 25, I received a really neat email from a very nice gentleman by the name of William Mayor about Warehouse on the Canal in Canal Fulton, Ohio. That was during the midst of the Halloween Blog Party Giveaway madness. I had just enough time to thank him forContinue Reading
The Reeds came to my attention last week thanks to a post on Shock Till You Drop. As movies go, especially horror ones, it’s premise is not new: something bad happened somewhere, people died, their ghosts now haunt the place and terrorize all who dare trespass there. But you knowContinue Reading
No, I’m not referring to the Michael Jackson movie. I’m referring to the housekeeping I’ve been doing lately. Namely, trying to find a new post-Halloween skin (or “theme” as they’re technically referred to) that I liked. I loved, loved, LOVED the graphics I had for the Halloween skin. Spooky andContinue Reading
Yes, I switched the skin again. I loved that one with the hot air balloons and the big moon. (“Gold Moon” is I think what it’s theme was called.) However, there were some issues with some of the widgets. Dagnabit! So…I hunted some more. Even though there’s no fancy graphicsContinue Reading
When I started Movie Monday last week I featured two. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do that every week, but it seems I will again this week also. I totally just stumbled across this next movie by accident. Excuse the pun which is about to follow,Continue Reading
