Midnight Society Movie Night: US

This month join me in watching Us, for it is time, once again, for...     Come watch a horror movie with me! You don't have to leave your house. Snuggle up on your couch with some popcorn or chocolate and pop in a fun movie. You know you want to, because this movie is unnerving and fun.   Written and directed by Jordan Peele, Us arrived in theaters in 2019 and we all were dying to go. I ran to the theater and enjoyed it a lot. The film left my brain spinning with so many thoughts. A little humor. A little creepy. A twisted story of class th[...]

Midnight Society Movie Night: Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark

It is time, once again, to announce what movie I will live tweet this month! Let's watch Don't Be Afraid of the Dark for ...   That's right, friends, Guillermo del Toro, who is one of my favorites. Based on a TV movie from 1973 by Nigel McKeand (which I haven't seen, has anyone seen it?), writers Guillermo del Toro and Matthew Robbins and director Troy Nixey brought Don't Be Afraid of the Dark to the theaters in 2011. I don't remember ads for Don't Be Afraid of the Dark being in the theaters and don't remember when I bought the DVD, but I've had it f[...]

Midnight Society Movie Night: The Awakening

This month let's watch a little gem I found years ago called The Awakening. Time for... Where I tweet a whole lotta thoughts and reactions (and annoy the Twitter world) to a horror movie!     Released in the US in 2012, The Awakening, a British supernatural film, was directed by Nick Murphy and written by Nick Murphy and Stephen Volk. Florence Catheart (played by Rebecca Hall) doesn't believe in ghosts. She investigates hauntings in order to reveal that nothing paranormal exists. She heads to a boarding school to once again prove that ghosts are[...]

Midnight Society Movie Night: The Nun

It is time, once again, for Midnight Society Movie Night announcement. Horror movie friends, let's watch The Nun. Let's watch together huddled in the dark, tucked cozy under blankets. Who's bringing the cookies? Popcorn?     I posted my thoughts on the 2018 film by James Wan and Gary Dauberman in my previous post. You can read it here! About how I ran to see this movie and left a bit disappointed, and then how I rewatched it (because The Conjuring universe is one of my favorites) and discovered pieces of the puzzle I had missed. So, I need to[...]

Midnight Society Movie Night: Truth or Dare

It's time for the Midnight Society Movie Night announcement! Let's watch Truth or Dare. I don't know about the rest of you, but I've been watching a lot of very happy, very cute Christmas movies, so I think it's time for some screaming and fear. What's better than watching people try to escape gruesome deaths? Not a lot. Are you ready?   I didn't see this one in the theater. Why? Well, I was confused every time I saw the trailer, BECAUSE I JUST WATCHED A MOVIE CALLED TRUTH OR DARE I WAS CERTAIN. Complete the dare or die...tell the truth or die... Dire[...]

Giving Thanks for Turkeys and BLOOD FREAK

BLOOD FREAK is the movie to watch with your weird friends and family while you recover from your Thanksgiving feast. Don’t worry, it won’t make you crave more turkey. In BLOOD FREAK, the turkey eats you! BLOOD FREAK isn’t a traditionally good movie. It’s gloriously 1970’s, with motorcycles, bikinis, and ominous drug use. It has the weird trappings of retro horror like Elvis-style hair and mad scientists. It’s wondrous. Herschell is a Vietnam veteran who meets Angel, a religious woman, along the Florida Turnpike. Angel helps Herschell find a job a[...]

Directed by Michael and Peter Spierig and written by the Spierigs and Tom Vaughn, the story is inspired by  the legend of Sarah Winchester and her unique house.

Midnight Society Movie Night: The Forest

This month for our Midnight Society Movie Night, I will live-tweet The Forest. Directed by Jason Zada, written by Ben Ketai, Nick Antosca, and Sarah Cornwell, The Forest, an American supernatural horror film, took the screen in 2016. I didn't see this in the theater, slightly worried I wouldn't like it. Not received well, people didn't have good things to say about the movie. Though when it appeared on DVD, I bought it. Not a favorite movie of some and maybe not my very favorite ever, I enjoyed it. Not incredibly scary, I liked the creepiness, the tone, and t[...]
