The Haunting of Hill House: How Drama compliments Horror
At its core 'The Haunting of Hill House' is a family drama, centred around the lives of the Crain family, with splashes of horror mixed in. Based on Shirley Jacksons gothic-horror novel from 1959, the series goes back and forth between modern-day life and flashbacks to each characters childhood, starting with Steve, the oldest.

A Creepshow Animated Special
Some may have never heard of Shudder. To be fair, they recently hit one million subscribers, and growing. I on the other hand, specifically became a member for a Shudder Original Show, Creepshow. Based on the beloved 80's dark, comic horror film and subsequently influenced by EC Horror comics of the 50's. George A. Romero and Stephen King crafted a cartoonish yet frightening anthology. Stories cater to different tastes. One thing stands out though, and thats the Fun! "The Most Fun You'll Ever Have... BEING SCARED!" If you like your camp dark, join us as a counselor.

TVD Characters Ranked
With The award winning 2009-2017 tween vampire drama leaving Netflix this November , I decided it was time for a re-watch/final season watch. While there are massive ups and down for all the characters, this article will showcase the top ten and reasons why. Some emissions may shock you but frankly, Elena doesn’t deserve to be in the top ten anyway.

The Second Coming of Holliston
Let me tell you everything I know about Holliston. It currently resides in Massachusetts. That ended faster than expected. That is the extent of my knowledge of the location. My knowledge of Holliston the universe is growing quickly. The television show paints the idea that in this universe horror references abound, and horror celebrities inhabit the strange, absurd, rock fueled, scare grasped world. There are no sitcoms on quite like Holliston. Perhaps never will be. Yet, it never quite got the fanfare it deserved until it was all but too late.

Shows on Hulu (That Aren't Ghost Adventures) to Spice up Your Paranormal Binge Session
Whether you’re here because you need your Halloween fix of horror, or you’re a year round connoisseur of the creepy, you were probably pulled in by the title. Hulu has officially cornered the market on paranormal investigation with their plethora of offerings in the genre. But even with all the shows in one place, it can be a daunting task to figure out which are actually worth your time. So instead of wasting your time, I wasted mine! I’ve compiled a list of different TV show offerings, all of which are sure to scare your socks off! And regarding the title, I have nothing against Ghost Adventures, but I think it’s safe to say that they’ve dominated the airwaves for long enough! It’s time to introduce some fresh favorites!

A Twin Peaks Halloween. Second Place in Costume Contest Challenge.
This Halloween I wanted my self portrait series to give homage to the one and only teenage troubled queen, Laura Palmer. I got into Twin Peaks about three years ago through a friend, who said I'd love it stylistically. (They were very right.) David Lynch, man. David Lynch. While I haven't seen many of his other works like Mulholland Drive or Blue Velvet (I know), I have recently watched Dune, which I loved, and which also stars the absolute baddie Kyle MacLachlan. But I mostly haven't gotten around to Lynch's other films because I've been so busy watching, and rewatching, Twin Peaks!

Despite My Best Efforts I still Hate the Walking Dead
I hate the Walking Dead. So if you love it and your curious why, read on. If you want to know why so you can convince me otherwise, find a new motivation. I just want something different from television. The most frustrating thing about The Walking Dead (T.W.D.) for me is the lack of a full story arch, followed by Rick just generally, closing that there is no sound decision maker.

“The Haunting of Bly Manor”: Too Many Ghosts, Too Little Horror
Beware, dear reader, as you forge ahead into this article! Beware… mostly of spoilers and not much else. The scares in this creepy tale are not that impressive for a hardened horror fan like me but it is still a pleasant watch.

The Occasional Spooking of Bly Manor
There will be a spoiler warning when I begin talking about spoilers. You know what's funny? I really liked The Haunting Of Hill House, and yet I can't remember a thing about it. For all its hidden ghosties and ghoulies, its twists and turns and time jumps, and its spooky foreshadowing of The Red Room, I cannot remember a single thing about the plot.

The Haunting of Bly Manor: (Netflix TV Show Review)
The loss of a loved one can make a person behave in ways they might not otherwise would if the person were still alive. Paranoia from superstition, in certain cases, can be common symptoms of grief, and grief can make a person behave in ways that defy logic and reason.
