Another month means another live-tweet, and I have chosen The Possession of Hannah Grace. The 2018 thriller/horror film directed by Diederik Van Rooijen hit the theaters last fall and I went. Because why wouldn't I? As I sat in the theater with my popcorn, I stared at the screen with one big question filling my mind. "What do you bring to the table, Possession of Hannah Grace? I've seen lots of possession movies. So...what do you offer?" So many possession movies exist out there in the world, to release another one seemed risky. I k[...]

0 The Davis Girl (TDG): Everyone, I am joined via Google Hangouts by fellow snack-loving, D&D playing, Dungeon Master himself, author Tom Torre. Welcome Tom! TOM TORRE (TT): Pleasure to be chatting with ya! TDG: Fun fact, I might have screamed when I saw your tweet about "Dungeons And Drafting" but what in the world *is* it and why does it sound so amazing? TT: Dungeons and Drafting is this bizarre concept I had been dabbling with for the last few years that has finally come to life! It's basically taking four awesome authors, throwing them together[...]
Hello, horror movie lovers! I am a big fan of the Insidious movie series, so when the newest chapter released earlier this month, I WENT! So let’s talk scary. INSIDIOUS: The Last Key The fourth in the series, but the second in the story's timeline, this horror film directed by Adam Robitel, written by Leigh Whannell, and produced by Jason Blum, Oren Peli, and James Wan follows my favorite character Elise Rainier played by Lin Shaye as she faces the horrors of her past. In Insidious: Chapter 3, Elise returns to using her gifts to help others and makes pea[...]
So, I took myself to see a movie this week... Annabelle: Creation. Yes, I took myself. Yes, I truly enjoy seeing scary movies alone. Though there were two other people in the theater, *sigh* they didn't scream or bother me, so I let them live. Let's be honest...Annabelle, The Conjuring movies...I'll happily go see ANY AND ALL of them. Possessions. Demons. Ghosts. Creepiness. These are a few of my favorite things. So, we all know Annabelle, that is based on a real doll tucked safely away behind glass guarded by priests and the Warrens. We saw Annabelle...one[...]
It's that time again! To bring together all the lovers of the scary and creepy on Twitter for a live-tweet. Let's watch a horror movie! This month...Annabelle. A 2014 American horror film directed by John R. Leonetti, produced by James Wan, and written by Gary Dauberman, Annabelle was truly a delight to see in the theaters. And by delight I mean a creepy good time. We met Annabelle briefly at the beginning of the movie The Conjuring...remember? Well, we did miss her and wanted to know how this doll came to be...you know, evil. Well... Back in the 1970s, th[...]
Ah, February. Love & romance are in the air. But don't fret, my horror loving friends. It isn't all hearts and flowers this month. We have nothing against getting all warm and fuzzy. But it wouldn't be The Midnight Society way without a little blood, guts & gore to go along with it. As it turns out, even on my vacation, I was able to find something frightfully delightful. Yearly trips have become an awesome new tradition for myself and my fiance, Chris. It's always cool to go somewhere new, to discover those things that are different from the place y[...]
It's Demon Week here at the Midnight Society, and I'm happy to recommend a book about a demon from my favorite modern horror author, Clive Barker. The book is called Mister B. Gone, and reading the book is a demonic encounter in an of itself. Mister B. Gone is the story of a demon named Jakabok Botch, a story that the demon himself narrates for the reader. Actually, he's not so much narrating as he is speaking directly to the reader, as if he's there with you, telling you his life story. He is constantly warning you that reading his story will not end well for yo[...]
My parents let me watch way too many horror movies. I can remember watching Halloween when I was maybe, five years old. I watched the Exorcist when I was around seven. After, I remember sitting in my bunk bed, terrified to go to sleep. Because if I did, what would stop a demon from possessing me? I've always loved scary movies. But I've also been fascinated by the stories these scary demonic possession stories are based off of. Are they real? Or just real-ly fake? To this day, I find this topic so interesting, terrifying, and strange. To kick off Demon Week,[...]

Based on the true story behind how I started writing ghost stories [with headings brought to you by Florence + the Machine as performed by the Capital Children's Choir]. Regrets Collect Like Old Friends Picture it: Williamsville, NY, 1991. I was in fifth grade at a small Catholic school with the same dozen-and-a-half classmates I'd been with since kindergarten. We were more like indifferent siblings than anything but we were a decent group. Quiet. Silly at times. Competitive to a fault. And then, there was our teacher. Let's call her: S[...]
