Sure. You might find a skeptic here or there among the guest speakers and panelists at some paracons. In general, however, most cons cater to the believers. Not at CSICon. They welcome skeptics and encourage critical thinking, reason, and skepticism. I learned about this exciting con that’s battling the “infodemicContinue Reading
For Halloween 2022, Netflix is rebooting two beloved TV classics, including The Munsters (in the form of a movie by Rob Zombie) and Wednesday (in the form of a series inspired by The Addams Family).

Would you ever participate in a naked ghost hunt to raise money for the preservation of a haunted location? I figured such an event would flop. (Pun intended.) However, instead, it was a rousing success. As one ghost hunter who bared all put it, “We do it in the darkContinue Reading

Unless something else gets added, it’s the only Travel Channel/discovery+ show with a panel at this special edition ofContinue Reading
Ever since the pandemic hit, Comic-Cons have been virtual. But Comic-Con Special Edition is a chance for fans to finally “gather in person as a community.” (For the first time since 2019!)

Are you a pumpkin/Jack-O-Lantern lover? If so, Dollywood’s Great Pumpkin LumiNights is well worth a visit when the park puts on its Harvest Festival. It’s a pumpkin lovers paradise! But it’s not just enjoyable at night. Or on sunny days. We visited on October 30, the last day of theContinue Reading
In 2020, a lot of paracons and horror fests found themselves pivoting and becoming virtual streaming events. But that went for cons of all kinds, including true crime ones. I’m not sure why CrimeCon has decided to do another At Home one this year, but it’s great for true crimeContinue Reading
