Hello! It's been over a month since I've posted and oh, how I've missed you! This post is a bit of a cheat since I'm not really posting anything, just announcing! I'll be back to the same old next, next Friday, but for today I have two little announcements. First off, I birthed the newest member of the Midnight Society! This little turnip's name is Esmond Matthew :D I'm 100% bia[...]
1 Ah, February. Love & romance are in the air. But don't fret, my horror loving friends. It isn't all hearts and flowers this month. We have nothing against getting all warm and fuzzy. But it wouldn't be The Midnight Society way without a little blood, guts & gore to go along with it. As it turns out, even on my vacation, I was able to find something frightfully delightful. Year[...]
I'm only about three hours into Resident Evil 7, but I am in love with this game. While the series has been inconsistent at best over the past handful of years, this latest installment is the perfect blend of horror, humor and shocking moments that has me smiling from ear to ear every moment I spend with it. https://youtu.be/rxjOFd0YNo0 Switching to first person was a great decision, as[...]
I know everyone has been waiting on the edge of their seats to learn what horror movie we will be live-tweeting this month! Well, last month watching The Conjuring was SO MUCH FUN, let's continue with The Conjuring 2! The 2016 horror sequel to The Conjuring written by Carey Hayes, Chad Hayes, James Wan, and David Leslie Johnson and directed by James Wan follows the Hodgson family's exp[...]
Dear Reader, My brain is fried, but I know what I need to recharge. And so, I pass those savings on to you. Please enjoy my Alphabet Roundup II: Happy Things I Like. What is your happy? Let us know in the comments. Then log off, power down, and make some time for shower nachos (exactly what it sounds like). Love, The Davis Girl A is for Aquarium B is for Bat C is for Cupcakes D is[...]
Short on time? Day job grinding you down? Trying to find two minutes to take a pee break? I know the feeling. Crazy work weeks make for very little time to dose myself with the dark stuff. Some of my favorite things when life gets hectic are short, compacted horror stories and films. Six words stories? Cool. I'm down. Short films that are under twenty minutes to watch? Even better. I've[...]
February is almost here. Which means Valentine's Day is almost here. The Midnight Society celebrates this holiday in a very special way. But before we get into that, how about we talk about the one symbol that is the antithesis of the day? The heart. In horror, the heart is often mangled and bloody--ripped out of some poor soul's chest. But it can also be a symbol of love and darkness,[...]
I love pretty covers and I also love badass sounding books! This one has both. World, meet Black Bird of the Gallows by Meg Kassel. Black Bird of the Gallows Her love breaks his curse. But his love spells her death. A simple but forgotten truth: Where harbingers of death appear, the morgues will soon be full. Angie Dovage can tell the mysterious new boy next door is more[...]
We're so spoiled nowadays when it comes to finding information on weird, supernatural and creepy stuff. You can Wikipedia the Amityville Horror, you can watch documentaries about ancient aliens on demand, and there's a podcast for everything from ghost hunting to past life regression. But it wasn't always that way. Back in the '80s, we watched our horror movies on VHS and Time Life Books[...]
Yesterday I took myself to see The Bye Bye Man. Don't think it... Don't say it... This horror /thriller movie, based on the chapter "The Bridge to Body Island" in Robert Damon Schneck's book The President's Vampire, was directed by Stacy Title and written by Jonathan Penner and opened on Friday, January 13th. Don't think it... Don't say it... I love movies. I love seeing them in t[...]
