“Will they have a supernatural episode again?” I wondered as I started watching the trailer for Netflix’s Unsolved Mysteries: Volume 4. Halfway through, I got my answer. Yes. And it looked like it was going to be about Mothman. Which I had mixed feelings about. The Mothman that terrorized—and wasContinue Reading
“Do you remember the Bagman?” the email subject line asked. It included a first look at the trailer, poster, and a still from the forthcoming horror movie. The poster with the creepy cracked-hand finger pressed against the mouth of the doll with the voodoo-ish-looking button eyes intrigued me. No. I’veContinue Reading
I wouldn’t consider myself a full-blown set-jetter. More of an occasional one. But I have been known to curate trips that include visiting places where movies (horror or otherwise) were filmed. One place I’m curious to check out but haven’t made it to yet is Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco, the real-life BoyContinue Reading
Round the Decay says it drew inspiration from horror movies like Pumpkinhead (1988) and Cube (1997). Interesting choices considering it also promises to deliver “a fresh take on the monster movie formula with roots extending into psychological and folk horror.” Will it? We’ll have to wait and see, and we’llContinue Reading
Vacation Friends was the first movie that came to mind when I watched the trailer for Speak No Evil. The pitfalls of what may happen when you befriend strangers on vacation inspired both. Except, where Vacation Friends used humor to highlight how that could go sideways, Speak No Evil honesContinue Reading
With the demise of Travel Channel, we sure don’t see the release of ghost-hunting shows like we used to, do we? (That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Some were getting pretty ridiculous.) However, in addition to Ghost Adventures, Discovery Channel is now the place to watch what once were otherContinue Reading
Recently, I was caught off guard by a CNN Travel article about Mussolini’s World War II bunker opening to the public. Why? I’m not entirely sure, but I think it has to do with Hitler. When I think about the “bad guys” of WWII, I often forget it was plural.Continue Reading
Ghosts on Canvas wall art. Gothic cat trees with coffin beds. A NOLA Crypt Horror Ornament. These are just a few of my favorite creepy things in the Skareporium that are included in the Prime Day 2024 deals. And I’m not just impressed because they’re on sale. I’m amazed thatContinue Reading
Historically, horror movies get a bad rap. Granted, some deserve it. (Just like any other substellar movie.) But horror movies usually have questionable plot lines that beg us to stretch our imaginations and abandon disbelief. Often that’s not done well. And just as often, the storyline isn’t the only thingContinue Reading
“What in the world is an Aztec Death Whistle?” I wondered when I saw the skeleton/skull-like face that sported a spiky, feather design on top of its head. My perplexion continued when I read more of its description, which included the words “loud” and “screaming.” The “loud” made sense, butContinue Reading
“Will Sci-Fi World really open this time?” That’s what I wondered when I wrote about the museum’s announcement that it was finally set to open on May 27, 2024. As I explained in that post, “It’s a valid question since this wouldn’t be the first time they announced an opening date.”Continue Reading
The “fun or frightening?” part of the title about Olympic mascots reeled me in. However, one sentence in particular sent me down the research rabbit hole. “Over the decades, the world has welcomed snowmen, sasquatches, cowboy-hat-wearing bears and aliens to the Olympic stage,” the CNN article reported. “Wait. What? ThereContinue Reading
