Hello, lovelies! I'm sitting here, sipping a little brew I whipped up in the cauldron (spearmint AND peppermint tea - I'm crazyAF), researching witches. I was originally going to take things back a few hundred years but I decided to keep this post a bit more current this time around. Growing up in a predominately Christian home, I was raised thinking witches were Hallow[...]
1 I SAW STEPHEN-FREAKING-KING IN PERSON! If you've ever read any of my posts, you'll know how truly amazing this is for me. The man wrote the book that changed my life. Made me a reader. So, to actually see him with my own eyes...It was just so cool. I wish he would have spoken longer, but nevertheless, I'm glad that I was able to have the opportunity. To hear Stephen and his son talk about[...]
God, I love Twin Peaks. And I love David Lynch. I recently posted on my own blog about what an inspiration Lynch is for me, particularly in how he stays true to his ideas. But for this post I want to focus on something else, because I know that Lynch's work is not for everyone. Some people find the pacing of Twin Peaks agonizing, it's humor cartoonish and it's soap opera presentation off-[...]
Okay, my creepy-loving friends, time to announce the chosen movie for my monthly live-tweet. For June, let's watch a horror movie...GET OUT. The 2017 American horror film was written, co-produced and directed by Jordan Peele, his directorial debut. I have not seen this. AAAAHHHH! I tried to go to the theater, but the schedule was mean and said no. So I have no witty insights to share[...]
It sounds like some scary movie or some spooky urban legend (perfect for urban legend month this month), but sometimes real life is all the scarier. The Watcher house is very real. And very scary. Before we begin, I ask you to not disturb, visit, or bother this house or its owners in any way... let's continue. According to the news, the address is 657 Boulevard,Westfield, NJ[...]
Hello, Dearies, How are you? How's life? Working on anything neat? Write any really awesome lines lately? Draw a cool picture? Show me. My brain needs some inspiration. I haven't written in weeks. So my apologies if this post is smeared in coppered flakes of rust. We've been discussing Urban Legends round the MS campfire. I've been digging into my city's online vaults for a tale[...]
The legend of the vanishing hitchhiker varies; however, a few parts remain the same no matter who tells it--a hitchhiker is trying to catch a ride while on a dark back road. Once picked up, he/she disappears without explanation. Many TV shows have created their own versions of this legend, but I have found 2 favorites: Constantine and Supernatural. Constantine- Season 1, Episode 5: Dance[...]
In my last blog post, I shared a local urban legend that I'd heard while growing up in suburbia about the old Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital. But that isn't the only urban legend to haunt Toronto's city streets. When I started to do a little poking around online, a number of familiar stories came up pretty quickly. The one I'm going to share today has it all - murder, mystery and purport[...]
As I've mentioned here previously, I've been playing through Resident Evil 7, and I'm constantly impressed by the nods to old horror stories and movies this game has. One of my recent sessions involved giant insects, and as someone who really hates bugs, it added a whole extra layer of terror for me. You can watch me freak out here: https://youtu.be/-Ju6y3NIpYk Anyway, those giant insec[...]
