I can't believe it, Zach. Nintendo just made another gaming dream come true this week when they announced that cult classic, Twin Peaks-inspired Deadly Premonition was coming to the Nintendo Switch. And as amazing as that was, the real news was that Deadly Premonition 2 was in production, and would be coming to the Switch as a launch exclusive. https://youtu.be/GHJaGBK1JW8 If you have n[...]
0 Time to announce that I'll be live-tweeting The Autopsy of Jane Doe for September's... It's everyone's favorite night! I know I have fun. EVERYONE SHALL HAVE FUN. *casts spell* When the time came to post my decision for the movie of the month, I dragged my finger down the spines of my collection of scary DVDs, and nothing screamed for my attention. Sure, many I love, many I have seen n[...]

The only thing better than a spooky book, is a spooky ghost book! Anyone who knows me, knows I live for ghost stories of any variety, which is why I'm thrilled to participate in the Dead Voices blog tour from Penguin Random House. Since I am a huge fan of good middle grade horror, it should be no surprise that I was a huge fan of Small Spaces, Katherine Arden's first book in this series. Y[...]
We've all heard it, read it on social media...possibly said it... Don't go see that horror movie. It isn't scary. It bothers me that a vague comment can send us spiraling into doubt. We get sad and disappointed before we even see it, and who needs that? I posted on FB that I was super excited to go see the new movie Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Someone commented, informing me tha[...]
Welcome to August, and a new month means a new live-tweet with me! Let's watch the 2019 version of Pet Sematary for... Written by Jeff Buhler and directed by Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer, Pet Sematary, a second adaptation of Stephen King's 1983 novel, hit theaters earlier this year. If you read my last post, you know I wasn't going to go. Then I did. And I loved i[...]

King says it's the scariest book he's written, because 'what if' is the scariest thing, especially when you're a parent and the 'what if' is the death of your child. When a truck strikes down small, baby-faced Gage, Louis can fix it, he can[...]
