Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.

There are so many streaming channels now that I can’t keep track of them all. I’m not sure if I remembered there was a HauntTV, but I’m glad there is. Ads are fine, too. (Dash to the kitchen for a snack!)
LOL! I have to admit, there are times I love watching Ad-free, BUT it also lends to me sitting on my butt not moving for long stretches. Ads DO prompt me to take a break and get up, and even though I’m trying to stay out of the kitchen more…where do I usually end up?
