Happy Birthday to one of the coolest cats around! Mary, today we celebrate you!!! All of the spirits got together and planned something special because we think you're amazing, creative, and so resourceful.

We all know him as the unstoppable force of good, fighting evil daily with his talents like writing, podcasting, wild puns, and knowledge of 80's hair metal. But today we shall also know him as BIRTHDAY BOY! Happy Birthday Brian. And in order to properly celebrate, we decided to throw you a concert. Enjoy! I called up Quiet Riot to see if they'd be willing to open thi[...]
I’ve been exploring a bunker. I need to escape to save my sister. The computer is reporting wildlife outside, and the radio is giving instructions on what to do if I feel the urge to eat my neighbor. Before this, I explored a house with a secret. Thunder boomed outside, and my recorder picked up music when there was no one else in the room. And there was that thing with the s[...]
Hereditary is an interesting film that any horror fan needs to see. I think my expectations were set a little too high when people started calling it the new Exorcist. In my opinion, it's not even remotely close to The Exorcist or The Exorcist III in terms of scares or quality of storytelling. For me, Hereditary was an interesting occult tale that has more in common with The Ninth Gate t[...]
There's something creepy about zombies. Sure, perhaps it's the carnal rage or unquenchable thirst for your brain. That certainly makes me prefer to never encounter one. I like my brain where it's at, thank you very much. But at the very core, I think it's deeper than that. There's something unsettling about things that should be dead, but did not stay that way. I think that's also why I lo[...]

Helllllo, Kittens! I feel kinda bad for referring to you guys as kittens for the last year or two, since I've recently become a cat owner myself. And let me tell you about Velociraptor. She's a complete jerk. Love her, but holy hell. The cat is a dick. One cannot simply talk about a kitten without sharing a photo. Anyhoo. Our founding mother / one of the greatest humans alive,[...]
As a visual and tactile learner, I judge books by their cover. And fifty percent of the time it works. Every time. Eric Smith's The Girl and the Grove was no exception. Since filming, I am halfway through the story and am happy to report that Eric Smith delivers what Jake Nordby's cover design promises. Tenfold. The Girl and the Grove is earthy, honest, and mysterious. And even thou[...]
