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.

As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.

Like I wrote about yesterday, his new project, Fear Clinic, premiers today. But his all time greatest role, one he immortalized, was Nightmare on Elm Street’s infamous villain Freddy Krueger. It inspired me to implement something new, something I enjoy on other people’s blogs: a theme day. So, I introduceContinue Reading
The bad news? I didn’t get to the drawing for the winner of the AMC gift card as early as I’d hoped to today. The good news? At least there weren’t any hiccups with the uploading of the drawing video this time! (But there were plenty of hiccups during theContinue Reading
I learned about a new show that’ll debut tomorrow thanks to a post on Screamstress: Fear Clinic.
