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.
“Kevin Bacon is even in it?” I thought when I watched the official trailer for MaXXXine, which dropped last week. Well, actually, my first thought was, “It’s finally coming out? Jeez. That was a painful wait.” Torturous, really, especially considering we were spoiled by X and Pearl, both of whichContinue Reading
“You know your friend supports your Halloween addiction when…” There are many ways to fill in that blank. (I invite you to share how you would in the comments below.) In my case, it’s when my friends make sure to share any cool skeleton finds or anything Haunted Mansion. ThanksContinue Reading
Did Vincent Gaddis start a trend when he designated the area between Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Miami, Florida, as the Bermuda Triangle? It seems so.

Why hadn’t I ever wondered what kind of legends and lore (if any) the Northern Lights had inspired? It seemed so obvious once it hit me, yet it wasn’t until I watched It’s a Wonderful Knife that I found myself pondering the question. The lights play a key role inContinue Reading
If Longlegs is as creepy as its trailer, it may prove to be one of summer 2024’s creepiest movie offerings. According to Neon, “In pursuit of a serial killer, an FBI agent uncovers a series of occult clues that she must solve to end his terrifying killing spree.” Emphasis onContinue Reading
When I started watching Bodkin, two questions nagged me. The first was, “Is Bodkin a real place?” The second was, “Is it really based on a true story involving a mysterious disappearance during Samhain?” Well, that’s not entirely accurate. The second question technically came first, but I was reminded ofContinue Reading
Have you seen the “Scarebnb Prank” that Madelaine Petsch, the star and executive producer of The Strangers: Chapter 1, pulled off? It made me understand why people strive to become influencers.

Which hotel would you envision if you read this statement: “This location supposedly was the inspiration for the Overlook Hotel in Stephen King’s thriller The Shining.” If, like me, the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, popped first to mind, I would understand that. If, however, you said the MohonkContinue Reading

“We’re already getting inundated with viewer photos of the Northern Lights,” one of the local meteorologists said during the 10 p.m. Friday news. “Look at all these sightings.
