“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.

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
“What’s your problem?” The woman sitting across from me didn’t ask it out loud, but that’s exactly what the look she gave me conveyed. “Sorry,” I said sheepishly, hoping she’d forgive my squeak of excitement. I mean, I understood. I was in a doctor’s office, after all. Whether you’re illContinue Reading
The first I heard of Apartment 7A, a prequel to Rosemary’s Baby, was on September 26, the day before it started streaming on Paramount+. It’s haunted me ever since. Why? Well, first of all, how did that miss my radar? Not that I’m a huge fan of Rosemary’s Baby, butContinue Reading
A lot of fans were bummed when The Holzer Files bit the dust. But Discovery Channel may have an antidote. Sort of. They’re rolling out a new series with a similar vibe. Except, instead of ghosts, demons, and hauntings, it’ll explore mysterious creatures. Lost Monster Files premieres Wednesday, October 9Continue Reading
“This didn’t really happen…did it?” I thought as I watched the trailer for The Manhattan Alien Abduction. Funnily enough, that’s the question at the heart of the forthcoming Netflix docuseries.
