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.

0 Most of you know that I absolutely adore Gretchen McNeil, not only as a badass author but as a professional and creative that I admire immensely. One of my favorite novel series of hers is Get Even. Guess what? It came to Netflix! TODAY! Here's a little bit more about Get Even.

What did we ever do without Netflix? Seriously? Once upon a time, we had to wait an entire week in order to watch the next episode in our favorite show. Now, we can binge watch umpteen seasons of shows like Friends in a matter of a month! But then what do you do when you finish watching all of these old favorites? You find something new.

One such show is The Santa Clarita Diet. It was reco[...]

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[...]
