Happy Halfoween! Get out your now empty plastic eggs and fill them with fingers and eyeballs. Behead the Daffodils. Leave bloody footprints as you tiptoe through the red tulips. Keep watch for killer bunnies. As we're halfway to Halloween, I began to ponder how, in scary books and movies, we are given only half of the story. The demon has been defeated by rituals and symbols. The ghost vanquished. The insane killer with the chainsaw has been left to die in a rock quarry or lake. The vampire staked. The werewolf left breathless by the silver bullet. All the ev[...]

6 Hello, Kittens! I have a surprise for you all! So you guys obviously know how much I love podcasts, specifically The Black Tapes If you haven't listened to The Black Tapes before, head over to their website and check it out. It is awesome. In fact, I love it so much I may or may not write Alex/Strand fanfiction. (Spoiler alert: I totally do). So it gives me immense pleasure to welcome Alex and Nic to the blog!! First off, I'm dying to know how have your lives changed since you’ve started delving into the paranormal? Are you more weary of the sounds c[...]
When it comes to the media I consume, I'm a person that loves loving things. I don't like to spend time dwelling on things I don't enjoy, and I can pretty much tell you something I loved about every movie I've seen, story I've read, game I've played and album I've listened to. I approach each new piece of media with the intent of finding something about it to love. This approach has greatly benefited me as a lifelong horror fan, and especially my love of movies that others might deem unwatchable. So as I was knocking around ideas for a series of posts I could do[...]
Hey everyone! My name is Jenna J. and I am new around here!!! I am super excited to be a part of The Midnight Society!!! Like, you really don’t understand the depths of my excitement. I am a writer who loves horror, young adult novels, and watching endless amounts of Netflix. I am a twenty something girl who lives in California and works in accounting at a university. I am someone who is still trying to figure out where I belong and what I belong to. I am an introvert to the core and I am not very good with people. But that’s all the boring stuff. On to[...]
Viewer discretion is advised... Every episode begins this way. And I watch - my guilty pleasure. Real people tell their paranormal stories, ghostly encounters, possessions, and fights with demons all with the help of Hollywood effects to bring the tales to life. It began in 2005 with the TV show 'A Haunting', which played on the Discovery Channel until 2007. This show gave us the episode 'A Haunting in Connecticut', which was later made into a movie. I watched every episode, more than once. I was sad when it vanished. However, it was revived on Destination[...]
So, I had a blog idea all set, then I took myself to see... And I tossed my original idea out the window. I am a fan of the Insidious films. I've seen the first two oh so many times and I love them. The Lamberts fight to survive against an evil threatening to tear their family apart. The ideas in this movie fascinate me. The images send shudders of delight through my horror-loving brain. The character who interested me the most was Elise, the psychic, the one with the power to see what haunted them, to guide them into the Further to do what had to be done[...]
I will admit something here that I rarely say aloud because I'd get rotten tomatoes thrown at me, or cursed as I walked down the street. Here it goes--please don't judge me--I do not like British shows. I know, I know. You all love watching Dr. Who, Sherlock, The Game of Thrones, EastEnders, and Downton Abbey. I just cannot get into these shows. It might just be that I don't enjoy having to pay too close attention to decipher what the characters are saying with thick accents. I'm not sure what it is, but I have found a show with a Brit as a main character. And[...]
Haunted houses aren't real. Ghosts and demons are things movie producers have created as a setting for the scariest movie plots. Right? Wrong! In a quiet suburb of Hanover York County, Pennsylvania, sits a pretty little house. The difference between this one and its neighbors is this one is haunted. If you don't believe in things such as this...check out the video posted by FOX News. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRBTFdMuT7w How'd you like to live here? Would anyone stay in a house that is this violent? Me--I think I'd find a way to get the hell out[...]
Good morning, spooky people. Today I'd like to introduce you to two prominent figures in the paranormal community. You've probably already heard of them if you've sat through Poltergeist, The Amityville Horror, The Haunted, or The Haunting in Connecticut. You know all those times that you settle in for a good scare, and the opening sequence informs you that the movie you're about to watch is based on a true story? A few of these accounts happily point back to a couple of folks who made it their life's work to document these cases. While the film adaptations[...]
