Welcome to February and the announcement of which horror movie I will live-tweet this month. Join me for Satan's Slaves on... I might have said that I received the best Christmas present: Shudder TV! I have scratched the surface of this horror-centered service and am loving every minute. Creepshow is a winner, for sure. But there are so many movies! I decided to scroll through the list to find this month's creepy fun, and came across Satan's Slaves. The title intrigued me. The tag line "She comes back for the last[...]

0 Happy New Year! With the new year comes more Midnight Society Movie Nights! This month I will be watching and live-tweeting The Witch in the Window! Come join in the fun of... Written and directed by Andy Mitton, The Witch in the Window released in November of 2018, and I haven't seen it. BUT I GOT SHUDDER TV FOR CHRISTMAS! I haven't had time to delve into the wonders of creepy that this will allow me, but I shall soon. SOOOOON! When I do, I'm going to enjoy all the horror and share it with you, because I'm nice that way. Horror friends are[...]
I fly a decent amount for work now, and it’s one of the few times I can catch up on some of the newer horror flicks, as well as old classics that make their way to in-flight entertainment services. Welcome to another installment of Airplane Movie Reviews. I became an instant fan of Alexandre Aja's when I saw High Tension in the mid-2000s. But it was the masterpiece that is Piranha 3D that made him one of my favorite horror directors of the modern age. Yes, I said it--Piranha 3D is a masterpiece. If you don't believe that, you haven't seen it. Anyway, the idea[...]
I love going to the movies and love horror movies, so this week, I took myself to see Black Christmas. The trailers hinted at screaming and running and hiding and killing with sorority girls (AHEM WOMEN) and a creepy masked invader, all wrapped up with Christmas lights. Sounded fun! I went, with no other expectation than to enjoy myself. I did enjoy myself! And left with a head full of thoughts, unusual for a slasher movie, right? The 2019 film, directed by Sophia Takal, and written by Takal and April Wolfe, is the second remake of the 1974 movie Black Christ[...]
Tis the season for happiness and lights and love and...horror! You betcha. I shall continue my tradition of live-tweeting two movies this month, because Christmas time demands it. For a special Midnight Society Movie nights, let's watch Gremlins and Krampus. There's nothing like Christmas horror. Even the season of hope has a dark side. First, let's watch the chaos unfold as rules are broken and terror invades a town in Gremlins. This 1984 film written by Chris Columbus and directed by Joe Dante delighted me as a child. From adorable Gizmo to terrif[...]
Big Stephen King fan here, all us Midnighters are. When Doctor Sleep hit shelves in 2013, I was excited. A sequel to The Shining? One of my very favorite books? The answer to what happened to Danny Torrance? Yes please. I loved the book, but I'm not here to talk about that. Yesterday, I bought a ticket and a lot of popcorn, and took myself to see the movie based on Doctor Sleep. I'm not here to compare the movie to the book, because I read it a long time ago and comparing the two causes frustration. The movie should have its own space, be its own entity. Alt[...]
Welcome to November! For all those who will be Nano-ing, you might need a break by the end of the month. For everyone else, you also need a night of horror fun. So join me in my live-tweet of Brightburn for... This movie directed by David Yarovesky and written by Brian and Mark Gunn hit theaters earlier this year and gives us a different take on the superhero genre...an anti-superhero, if you will. I watched many Brightburn trailers as I haunted the theater last winter and spring. At first, I was intrigued, but wasn't sure I needed to see it.[...]
I fly a decent amount for work now, and it's one of the few times I can catch up on some of the newer horror flicks, as well as old classics that make their way to in-flight entertainment services. Welcome to another installment of Airplane Movie Reviews. My excitement for a new Child's Play film immediately dissipated when I found out that not only would this new Child's Play be a reboot, but it would not involve series creator Don Mancini, or the legendary voice of Chucky, Brad Dourif. I had absolutely no intention of ever seeing this film. But being trapped o[...]
It's October and time to announce the choice for Midnight Society Movie Night! Once again, I flipped to Netflix and found a film I haven't seen. Let's watch We Have Always Lived in the Castle. We Have Always Lived in the Castle is a 2018 mystery thriller directed by Stacie Passon and written by Mark Kruger and based on the novel by Shirley Jackson. But you live-tweet horror movies...this does not say horror... Yeah, well. Horror is lots of things, and people keep talking about this movie, which makes me want to watch it. Since, I've[...]
Time to announce that I'll be live-tweeting The Autopsy of Jane Doe for September's... It's everyone's favorite night! I know I have fun. EVERYONE SHALL HAVE FUN. *casts spell* When the time came to post my decision for the movie of the month, I dragged my finger down the spines of my collection of scary DVDs, and nothing screamed for my attention. Sure, many I love, many I have seen numerous times, many I will watch again. But I wanted something I hadn't seen, to disappear into a new story. To escape. I want to watch and be able to react without knowing what[...]
