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[...]
Pet Sematary. What a journey this story has been on, an evolution in a sense. Back in 1983 Stephen King's book entered the world. 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[...]
Happy Birthday Mary Rajotte! Our fearless spooky author friend Mary was born today. You can find her drinking iced coffee from a skull, being a rockstar and a walking database for horror knowledge. She's also wonderful and sunny, and inspires all of us daily. Michael and the Midnight team are celebrating today! Did anyone call for a pizza? Mary, to kick off your birthday I,[...]
I haven't love a book like this in such a very long time, but leave it to Kim Liggett to haunt me with her story telling. Elizabeth Banks knew what a game changer this book is, too--enough to have signed on to produce and direct The Grace Year for Universal. While this book isn't technically horror, this story is full of tension and parts were absolutely terrifying. If you love dystopi[...]
