February, time for hearts and flowers and chocolates and giant cuddly teddy bears...and strange, scary other dimensions with monsters and a town haunted by the past. I love watching horror movies with friends, so join me for this month's live-tweet of Silent Hill. As I searched through my movies, this one called to me. It's been too long since I've enjoyed the descent into the madness of a town haunted by secrets. We all need creepy nurses, Pyramid Head, and the rage of a little girl. Based on the horror video game, Silent Hill was released in 2006 and directe[...]

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[...]
Let’s watch a horror movie! Annabelle: Creation! Doesn’t that sound like fun? Of course it does. Watching scary movies with friends is the best! And what could be better than demons and dolls? Nothing. This 2017 horror movie was directed by David F Sandburg and written by Gary Dauberman and is the prequel to the 2014 movie Annabelle and ties in nicely to that movie. We all remember that creepy possessed doll fondly and this movie shares the doll’s origin. Because why wouldn’t you want to know? Samuel and Esther Mullins, played by Anthony LaPaglia and[...]
Tis the season! Lights! Love! Hope! And don’t forget a bit of horror. Christmas horror! A gift that becomes a bit more than you can handle. A dark spirit of Christmas ready to punish all who don’t believe. So, dear scary-loving friends, let’s watch a horror movie...NO, let’s watch two Christmas horror movies! First... A 1984 horror-comedy directed by Joe Dante. No one can resist fuzzy little Gizmo in a Santa hat! And who can pass up creepy killers singing Christmas carols? Not me. A fun destructive romp through the lovely town of Kingston Falls where[...]
I have a slight obsession with horror movies. Whenever I end up at a store, it is impossible for me to pass the movie section. Those big bins filled with cheap movies? Yeah...I lose hours of my life. Always on the look out for horror movies I haven't seen, for scary tales I haven't heard of, it has become a problem. The horror movie drawer is full...and yet, I buy. October is the perfect time for this. Horror movies get their own Halloween-y section! And so many of them are $5. SyFy channel is on its 31 Days of Halloween...playing creepy movies all the time, s[...]
We, here at The Midnight Society, are big Stephen King fans. When we heard IT was being made into a movie...we freaked out a little. Okay, a lot. The book is a monster, published in 1986 it stands at 1138 pages. The story flips between the late 1950s and the mid 1980s...27 years in-between. A great look at life as a kid versus life as an adult, how our fears change, but never leave us. I've read the book twice. Scared the crud out of me, infected my brain with ideas that creatures in the drains were going to kill me. Then the mini-series aired in the fall of[...]
We here at the Midnight Society had a blast celebrating the Summer of Screams. Not only was there an amazing writing and art showcase hosted by our amazing founder Jolene Haley (which you can check out here), but my fellow Midnighter Kathy Palm and I live-tweeted three flicks from my favorite franchise ever, Friday the 13th! In fact, we had so much fun that we can't stop just because summer is over. So, welcome to the Frightening Fall. We'll be live-tweeting more Friday the 13ths, as well as some of our favorite '80s horror flicks, throughout the next few mont[...]
The Summer of Screams concludes this week, and we're going out with a bang. Actually, it's more like a slice, or a slash, or--well, you get it. For those who haven't been keeping up, the Summer of Screams is the writing and art showcase our fearless leader Jolene Haley has been running all month over on her site. To celebrate the cam-themed horror stories that have been going up all month, my fellow midnighter Kathy Palm and I have been live-tweeting some of our favorite Friday the 13th movies. We've done the original, we've done The Final Chapter, and we'r[...]
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[...]
