Happy October! The best month, for everyday revolves around horror, at least it does for me. October means a Midnight Society Movie Night special month of fun. Tis be called Midnightober Movies! Shudder TV has already been celebrating. They started the #61DaysofHalloween at the beginning of September. Every night at 9 pm EST people watch a movie on Shudder and a few of us live-tweet! https://twitter.com/Shudder/status/1311685977363144704 Shudder posts a schedule each week. I missed so many, but I'm ready to jump in now and take advantage of this party[...]

0 Everyone, we're joined via Chat by none other than creative genius, actor, and one of my favorite humans, LOTTA LOSTEN! Good afternoon Lotta! Lotta Losten (LL): Hello!!! Thank you so much letting me drag you into this chat room. LL: It’s my pleasure! I have wanted to pick your brain ever since I showed your original Lights Out short film to my writing students. LL: I remember that you told us that you showed it to your students when all of that happened and it made us SO happy! Pick away! I'm honored. Yes! A few of them were struggling with brevity in thei[...]
Social distancing may not be everyone's personal favorite, but my entire life has led to this. Don't get me wrong. I am outgoing. I can be very loud. I even love hosting parties of somewhere between twelve to fourteen people. But I'm still very much an introvert. It just takes me thirteen thousand bajillion trillion times as long to decompress and recoup from things. However, I'm related by lots of blood to lots outgoing extroverts and have made them watch A LOT of movies with me. Mostly during one of my M. Night Shyamalan-a-thons. And I have learned SO MA[...]
I am not really one for collector's editions, which is mostly because I do not have room in my dork cave for any more stuff. But I do make exceptions, and when I saw there was a Night of the Creeps Deluxe Limited Edition, I pre-ordered it faster than you can "Thrill me!" Today, it arrived--and it's beautiful: I'm a big fan of the original artwork, but this new slipcase with art from Devon Whitehead is just gorgeous. And of course, the two-disc set with both the theatrical and director's cut, as well as tons of extras is great. But let's be honest--the reason I b[...]

After many, many years of being a fan of Laurie Halse Anderson, I got the opportunity to hear her speak at Doylestown Bookshop last night. Her first novel, SPEAK, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. To commemorate this, Laurie is gearing up to release a new novel in verse which is NOT a sequel to SPEAK. Rather, it is an extension--essays and poems--about the need for more girls to SHOUT their truths. I cannot wait for this. Normally at these events I fan girl, get an autograph and a picture, then leave. This time, I learned something. SPEAK has been a[...]
Hello, Kittens!! Long time, no chat! How the hell are you guys? How's your writing coming along? Comment if you have any new releases so I can check them out! It's the time of year that there's not much I love more than curling up with a book while watching the snow fall. Once the snow starts to pile, I find myself thinking about one story every year....The Dyatlov Pass Incident. Something about that story has stuck with me since I first heard about it many (many - ugh) years ago. Maybe it's the fact that the tent was ripped open from the insid[...]
Hello, darlings, Life has been so shitty lately, so I've kind of dropped off the face of the earth. We had to put our beloved dog, Indi, down on New Years Eve. So, without further adieu, I give you the Dogs of Horror. RIP Indi. I love you. Cujo (1983) Okay, so not only is this the kickoff to my favourite Friends ship (JoChel), but it stars one scary ass dog! I never watched the movie Beethoven the same The Lost Boys (1985) Nanook, the husky, is one of the cutest horror dogs around. He makes a kill shot by knocking a vamp into[...]
I love a good deal on iTunes movies, so I promptly hit the "Rent" button when Better Watch Out was on sale for $0.99. Haven't heard of it? Well, it's a cross between Home Alone and Scream. This very campy holiday horror is perfect for those who love...80's movies. That is what this reminded me of. So if you love your horror with a ton of camp, this is for you! IMBD Summary: When you think the suburbs, you think safety, but this holiday night the suburbs are anything but safe. Ashley (Olivia DeJonge) thought this babysitting job was going to be an easy night, bu[...]
The Davis Girl (TDG): Are you ready to be interviewed, Katie Glover? Katie Glover (KG): Always! TDG: Hello, Midnight Society Readers. I am joined today via Twitter DMs by Katie Glover. Hello Katie Glover and welcome to your interview. I’ve heard about you and your witchy books and penchant for tarot reading. KG: Thanks for having me! TDG: Yes. Do you REALLY write witchy things? Like really-really? KG: Yes! Because witches are amazing and powerful and awesome and subversive. TDG: But how do you know? KG: I read a lot of books. TDG: What books? KG:[...]
