It is time, once again, for Midnight Society Movie Night announcement. Horror movie friends, let's watch The Nun. Let's watch together huddled in the dark, tucked cozy under blankets. Who's bringing the cookies? Popcorn? I posted my thoughts on the 2018 film by James Wan and Gary Dauberman in my previous post. You can read it here! About how I ran to see this movie and left a bit disappointed, and then how I rewatched it (because The Conjuring universe is one of my favorites) and discovered pieces of the puzzle I had missed. So, I need to[...]

0 Am I a little late to talk about The Nun, movie-lovers? Maybe. Or maybe not. Because sometimes movies need a second chance. Sometimes parts of the story we think are missing... aren't. Story by James Wan and Gary Dauberman, The Nun hit theaters September of 2018, AND I RAN TO SEE IT. Could not run fast enough. Seriously. The Conjuring universe is one of my very favorites, and a film dedicated to the creepy nun that haunted the Warrens in The Conjuring 2 sounded perfect. I held my hopes held high and left the theater slightly disappointed. The atmosphere of t[...]
I know it's February, but it's always a great time for some trick-or-treating with a bit of murder and mayhem. So this month for Midnight Society Movie Night, join me on Twitter for Halloween! Halloween...a slasher film released October of 2018 written by David Gordon Green, Jeff Fradley, and Danny McBride, and directed by David Gordon Green brings us back to the story of Laurie Strode and what being a survivor means. Remember all those Halloween movies? We all watched them. Well, forget every one except the first, because this movie[...]
When you find a great horror book, you share the news. So, I'd like to draw your attention to The Harpy by Julie Hutchings. The blurb from Amazon: Charity Blake survived a nightmare. Now she is one. Punk-rock runaway Charity Blake becomes a Harpy at night—a treacherous mythical monster who preys upon men just like the ones who abused her. Struggling through an endless stream of crappy coffee shop jobs, revolted stares, and self-isolation during the day, Charity longs to turn into the beast at night. Doing the right thing in all the wrong way[...]
It's time for the Midnight Society Movie Night announcement! Let's watch Truth or Dare. I don't know about the rest of you, but I've been watching a lot of very happy, very cute Christmas movies, so I think it's time for some screaming and fear. What's better than watching people try to escape gruesome deaths? Not a lot. Are you ready? I didn't see this one in the theater. Why? Well, I was confused every time I saw the trailer, BECAUSE I JUST WATCHED A MOVIE CALLED TRUTH OR DARE I WAS CERTAIN. Complete the dare or die...tell the truth or die... Dire[...]
Last year I feasted mine eyes on a few Christmas trees all trimmed out with creepy, a white tree with black ornaments and a tree decked out in skulls. I WANT TO DO THAT, but I don't want to copy one. So I share with you, my creepy Christmas (Creepmas?) tree experiment, my attempt to find my very own interpretation of a spooky tree. An odd conversation, as my husband discovers me staring at a seven foot slim artificial tree with an eerie light in my eyes. Husband: Do we need this tree? Me: I think so. I need a horror tree. I'm going to decorate it all creepy. An[...]
The Midnight Society is BACK! So, that means Midnight Society movie night returns, where everyone is welcome to join me on Twitter to live-tweet the creepy and dark and weird. Why? Well, if you're like me, you have people in your life who just don't 'do' horror. I go to movies alone. I watch at night in the dark when everyone is in bed. BUT...it's fun to share the terror with friends, with people who like the shadows as much as I do. My goal is to have a scheduled live-tweet once a month and maybe a few surprise movie nights, just because. So welcome to... AN[...]
As you may have seen, we've been celebrating Vicki all day for her unbirthday! Click here to see part one. What do we love about Vicki? So talented! So fabulous! Always ready to cheer for her friends. Always happy to celebrate good news or offer to haunt anyone who gets in her friends' ways. The perfect person to read anyone a bedtime story...as long as they like creepy. So, dear Vicki, I ordered you a big bunch of balloons for your unbirthday. Red balloons. The color of love, of fire, of blood. However, the clown they have delivering them looks a wee bit odd[...]
Horror movies are my favorite thing. Ever. Watching scary movies with friends is a luxury I lack, so each month I live-tweet a tale of terror to share my love of the dark and weird with everyone. This month for our Midnight Society Movie Night...let's watch Winchester! Join me, horror friends, for a night of ghosts! Directed by Michael and Peter Spierig and written by the Spierigs and Tom Vaughn, the story is inspired by the legend of Sarah Winchester and her unique house. I saw this one in the theater and had a great time! You can read my thoughts about the[...]
A friend recommended the Lockwood & Co. series to me. I bought book one: The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud. I started reading it and ran here to share this middle grade horror delight! Be happy. Be excited. Be prepared for the creepy. Blurb... A sinister Problem has occurred in London: all nature of ghosts, haunts, spirits, and specters are appearing throughout the city, and they aren't exactly friendly. Only young people have the psychic abilities required to see—and eradicate—these supernatural foes. Many different Psychic Detection Agenc[...]
