This month will be a special horror movie live-tweet event! We will be heading to summer camp and watching THREE movies. All in the Friday the 13th franchise. Why? Well... Our fabulous fearless leader Jolene hosts a writer/artist showcase where she posts stories and art on her blog. Each year she has a different theme and likes these creations to be a little creepy. I have been honored t[...]
5 TLDR: I Am Not a Serial Killer is amazing and I would probably sell organs to get the rest of the books in the series, if there was a short supply. Long version: The name Dan Wells kept popping up on all of the Goodreads lists that I searched. It's usually of the dark variety, such as murder or serial killers, etc. I had skimmed a few reviews of I Am Not a Serial Killer for about ten se[...]
Having seen and loved everything from Invasion of the Body Snatchers to The Thing to The Hidden, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what I was in for when I started watching Perry Blackshear’s They Look Like People. I was wrong. https://youtu.be/MrsUOmKlAzI They Look Like People is psychological horror at its best. The movie establishes a level of tension in the opening scene tha[...]
The Davis Girl (TDG): Are you ready to be interviewed, Brian C. Baer? Brian C. Baer (BCB): Let's do this! TDG: Ok…here we go. Hello Midnight Society Readers! I am joined today via Google Hangouts by Brian C. Baer. Brian, please say hello to our readers. Say it Brian. BCB: Hiya! TDG: Is that it? BCB: Um, yes. I think so. Brevity is the soul of[...]
This morning, Brian and I took to Twitter and sprinted. It was awesome. We were both up early and it was nice to have someone out there who was writing at the same time. Together, we decided that what would make it even better would be YOU! Anytime one of us is writing, we will post to the hashtag #MidnightSocietyWritersClub. And then all you need to do is join us in our writing time. Po[...]
I'm late with the announcement, but I didn't know if I would have a free Friday. BUT I DO!!!! So let's watch a horror movie!!!! For July...Sinister. This 2012 British-American supernatural horror film was directed by Scott Derrickson and written by Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill. And scared the living whatever out of me. The Oswalt family moves into a new house. Isn't tha[...]
You've seen those Hollywood creature features. You've hung out with Jenna as she compared Brendan Fraser & Tom Cruise in their respective Mummy movies. But that doesn't mean there still aren't secrets about mummies just waiting to be unearthed. I'll be the first to admit - I am OBSESSED with Ancient Egypt. I'm not even sure when it started. I mean, I hated history class in high school[...]
The spirits are swirling in excitement today because one magical person was born today and the universe and its otherworldly entities are celebrating! Happy Birthday Mary Rajotte! We got together with the ghosts and planned a little celebration. Don't forget the Ouija board! Mary, you are so kind, clever, and uber talented! Really, it's not fair to the rest of us but we forgive you[...]
I've said it before and I'll say it again--Jolene Haley is amazing. And this past week, she gave me the best birthday present ever--a print proof of our book Harrowed. If you follow Jolene or I at all, then you know we're hard at work on getting Haunted (the second book in the Woodsview Murders series) ready for release. But Harrowed will always be our first love, and we still have big p[...]
From a very young age, I've been obsessed with Indiana Jones (my dog's name is Indi!). Something about discovering ancient remains and disturbing the peace was so thrilling. I also loved a little film called George of the Jungle and vividly remember having my first real crush on a man...the ineffable (but extremely effable) Brendan Fraser. Imagine my delight when The Mummy came out a few y[...]
