April has definitely seen its share of tragedies. Does it mean it’s cursed? I used to think so, but Cursed Films explained why that’s unlikely. Last year fellow writer Keith Langston introduced me to Shudder’s five-part series. If you haven’t seen it and are a horror movie cinephile, I highlyContinue Reading
In “April, Saturn, & Mercury Retrograde: Something Wicked This Way Comes,” I shared a theory that April is a cursed month. People with birthdays, anniversaries, or other happy April dates didn’t take kindly to the supposition. Understandably. But what they didn’t understand at first was the theory doesn’t speculate thatContinue Reading
Two things immediately caught my eye about The Banishing, which begins streaming on Shudder on April 15. One, Jessica Brown Findlay, who played one of my favorite Downton Abbey characters, stars in it.

If you could go back to visit any point in time, what period would you choose? One of the three periods of the Mesozoic Era (Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous)? Or has Jurassic Park ruined such an adventure for you? Maybe something more modern, like the Roaring 20s? The Victorian era? TheContinue Reading
Fish swim in schools so it stands to reason that mermaids would too, right? In fact, learning how to operate that monofin skillfully requires lessons. That’s what AquaMermaid School does. Teaches people “how to swim like a mermaid.” Did you read that and think, “AquaMermaid School? Is there such aContinue Reading
Something has been gnawing at me for a few years now. It has to do with a piano and a ghost they call the Lady in White that’s reputed to haunt the Queen Mary’s Starboard Lounge. Which, if I understood a section on Weird California‘s site about the ship, isContinue Reading
A special two-hour episode called “McCormick Farm” is among the new episodes of Portals to Hell that start streaming on March 20 on discovery+. (The other one is “Hotel Monte Vista.” New episodes follow every Saturday after that until May 8.) It’s a sort of an investigation first for JackContinue Reading
Have you heard of the Medical Medium, Anthony William? He’s sort of our time’s answer to Edgar Cayce, who some consider the “father of holistic medicine.” I’m not really sure when I first learned about the American clairvoyant and mystic who was also called the Sleeping Prophet because of theContinue Reading
