Creepy Fun: The Haunting of Bly Manor

The Haunting of Bly Manor hit Netflix on October 9th, and, as you can guess, people are watching and whispering and posting with vague words and emotional phrases. As soon as I saw the trailer, I couldn't wait. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tykS7QfTWMQ And now, it's here! I've watched the first five episodes, and I like it! Creepy. Mysterious. Atmospheric. And the stories are unfolding at just the right pace. As I watched the first episode, I immediately connected this to the recent movie The Turning, which showed in theaters at the beginn[...]

And it doesn't have to be a popular show, either. There are so many choices to be had. To make things even more exciting and diverse...Netflix has created its own shows!!! One such show is The Santa Clarita Diet. It was reco[...]

Seriously.   One of the things I love most about this show is the thing that my writing partner Brian LeTendre and I talk about a lot…music.

Like the STRANGER THINGS Score? Check Out S U R V I V E

Like everyone else on the planet who is remotely interested in horror, I recently devoured the eight episode masterpiece that was Stranger Things. As someone who grew up in the '80s, this series has earned a very special place in my heart. And I could write for days about the loving homages to King, Carpenter, Koontz, Barker and many other horror masters that the Duffer Brothers wove into the show. But that's not what I'm here to write about today. See, there are few things that I love even more than horror, but one of them is music. There are places where my lov[...]
