I’m so excited and pleased to announce the last Midnight Marauder of 2015. What the heck is Midnight Marauder? The Midnight Society’s Midnight Marauder is a member of the Midnight Society team. He or she is someone that goes above and beyond to contribute to the Midnight Society, to our readers, and embraces the wonders of macabre like no other. According to the dictionary, a marauder is one who roves and raids in search of plunder and we’re always roaming the world of shadows to bring pieces of it to you. What does this mean? The winner of the Midnight M[...]

Currently for NaNoWriMo, Brian and I are writing our new series, ORCHARD POINTE #1. Without giving too much away (though Brian did give away a few more hints today...that's right Brian. I see you.), it’s a young adult novel series that was inspired by some of our favorite creepy movies and novels and television shows and our HUGE imaginations. Currently we are sitting over 30,000 words, and if I’m being honest, it’s mainly due to the unwavering dedication of my incredible writing partner Brian LeTendre. I am so proud of our book. I really can't explain it o[...]
I love Halloween. More than Christmas. More than Thanksgiving. More than Disneyland or sunny weather or adorable baby kittens. I have so many wonderful Halloween memories. So many that it's kind of hard to count them. When I looked at my calendar today and realized that there's only six days to Halloween, I couldn't believe it! There are so many wonderful memories. So many amazing costumes. I’m sure the rest of the Midnight Society gang will have plenty of fun to share for our Halloween Traditions week! Today I wanted to share with you my top three memo[...]
Happy Slasher Week!!! Wait, that sounds weird when I say it out loud. *shrug* Happy slasher week! As most of you know, slasher horror is one of my favorite kinds of horror. Growing up, I absolutely loved Michael Myers, Jason, Freddy Krueger, and everything in between. Cabin in the Woods was A-MAZ-ING. Scream is still one of my go-to favorite movies of all time. Our love for the slasher genre is what led to Brian and I writing our book together. What is it about slasher books and slash[...]
Today we kick off Ghost Week here at The Midnight Society! Some people are skeptics when it comes to ghosts. Not me. I have never been a skeptic. Why? I’ve lived in a haunted house. I have experienced things that cannot be explained. I have seen orbs with my own two eyes, in the middle of a cemetery at midnight flitting through the sky. And no, I hadn’t been drinking at the time. In honor of Ghost Week, I thought I’d tell you a little story about one of my first ghostly experiences at an old house I lived in when I was a child. With t[...]
Another spirit has arrived in the graveyard! Poor thing...she never saw it coming. This post is long overdue as Jenna already has one post live (and many more planned), where she talks FEAR. We're delighted to have her spirit join our ranks. Please welcome, Jenna! ***** Welcome Jenna Johnson! Jenna Johnson of Riverside, California was found late yesterday evening covered in blood and surrounded by her own books. It seems she was impaled while once again attempting to re-organize her bookshelves. She left behind a legion of unfinished manuscripts an[...]
My fabulous friend Ezekiel shared the BEST website with me today. Have you ever said, “I wish I could feel the warm embrace of Jason Voorhees.” How about, “I desperately want to wrap Halloween around my neck.” What about, "If I looked like Freddy Krueger, I'd get all the girls." Well, your life is about to change! Especially if you're one of those on-it people who do all of their holiday shopping before October and you've got a horror lover on the list. It appears that MondoTees.com has anticipated this and already has the COOLEST clothing and a[...]
I've always been fascinated by the phenomenon of sleep paralysis. According to numerous web articles, Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon in which a person temporarily experiences paralysis. This can be while they falling asleep (referred to as Hypnagagia) or while they are awake (known as Hypnopompia), When I say paralysis, I mean the person is not able to move, speak, or react to anything. They are stuck, held within the silent prison cell of their own body. It Gets Worse... If being paralyzed, but acutely aware of what is going on around you isn't ter[...]
Let's just say that the séance to cleanse the house of spirits didn't go exactly as we'd planned... The Midnight Society has claimed another life and we're quite pleased with ourselves...poor girl...She didn't see it coming. Our line-up and blogging team is made up of Amy, Faith, Kim, Timon, Kathy, Brian, Kira, Jennifer, and Jolene. And now, we’ve got one more spooky spirit on our side of the spirit realm. ***** Welcome Jenna Lehne! Jenna Lehne failed to close the circle - to sever the connection, if you will - and died the way most ama[...]
