Technically, The Mortuary Haunted Mansion wants couples (plural) to enter their Blood Wedding Ceremony contest.

Psychic crystal ball with danger skull and crossbones warnings sign in it

“Who knew there were dangers of being psychic?” I remember thinking once upon a time while listening to a program on the now-defunct Paramania Radio.

Sharksploitation key art

Sharksploitation is among the three serial killer documentaries streaming this summer. At first, I thought it was somewhat of a stretch including Sharksploitaiton on that list.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves key art

Even though the trailer had piqued my interest, I put off watching Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. I’m aware of the D&D game, of course, but I never played it. Other than that it’s a fantasy-based role-playing game (RPG), I don’t even really know anything about it. But didContinue Reading
