I LOVE the Friday the 13th Series. It's my favorite horror franchise of all time, and I adore each and every entry into the series (except that 2009 reboot--holy crap that sucked). Friday the 13th is a HUGE influence on The Woodsview Murders series Jolene and I write together (look for those Easter eggs!), as well as my solo horror stories. If I could only watch one horror franchise for the rest of my days, it would be this one. So, since our theme for March here at the Midnight Society is graveyards, I decided to revisit one of my favorite scenes from the Frid[...]

0 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[...]
I know everyone has been waiting on the edge of their seats to learn what horror movie we will be live-tweeting this month! Well, last month watching The Conjuring was SO MUCH FUN, let's continue with The Conjuring 2! The 2016 horror sequel to The Conjuring written by Carey Hayes, Chad Hayes, James Wan, and David Leslie Johnson and directed by James Wan follows the Hodgson family's experiences in the London Borough of Enfield in 1977-1979, based on the true story of The Enfield Poltergeist. Strange things are happening in the Hodgson's council house... Peg[...]
Yesterday I took myself to see The Bye Bye Man. Don't think it... Don't say it... This horror /thriller movie, based on the chapter "The Bridge to Body Island" in Robert Damon Schneck's book The President's Vampire, was directed by Stacy Title and written by Jonathan Penner and opened on Friday, January 13th. Don't think it... Don't say it... I love movies. I love seeing them in the theater. I wish the theater sold dark chocolate M&Ms...but peanut had to do. I was the only one in the theater. I love when that happens. Don't think it... Don't say it[...]
If you don't know about my love *cough*obsession*cough* of live-tweeting horror movies, well... WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? In my little real life world, I have no horror-loving friends, so I turn to my Twitter buddies to share in everything scary. Because watching movies with friends is better. Join me! We have ever so much fun! *hides the bloody knife* This month... A 2013 supernatural horror directed by James Wan and written by Chad Hayes and Carey Hayes. Meet the Perron family...Roger and Carolyn and their girls Andrea, Nancy, Christine, Cindy, and April. Th[...]
December's theme for the midnight society is horror origins / creepers of horror. I'm a huge fan of knowing film locations and with this months theme, I wondered where one of my favorite slasher flicks, Friday the 13th might have been filmed. Friday the 13th and the saga of Jason Vorhees is one of my all time favorites. In fact, I also really love the filming location. It has the beautiful lake, a very camp-y feel, and is surrounded by beautiful trees and wildlife. I did a little digging and uncovered the fact that Camp Crystal Lake is a real place and[...]
I love horror movies! I love to live-tweet them too! Once a month, precious, I tweet all my thoughts and feelings as I watch a scary movie. I didn't know how much fun it would be. To be able to watch it with others makes it more fun. Through Twitter, we can connect over our love of the creepy. Last month my horror friend Andrea and I had a BLAST live-tweeting the movie Lights Out. Neither one of us had seen it, so it was a lot of great first reactions. I haven't been so scared watching a movie in a loooooong time. I held my breath through most of it, but you bette[...]
It's October History Week at the Midnight Society, so of course I wanted my post to be related to horror movies in some way. So I decided to look back at the history of horror film releases in October, and what I found was kind of interesting. Over at www.the-numbers.com, you can check out movie releases by month and year. So, I started looking back at what horror films were released in October back in the day, and outside of a few milestone movies, October didn't really become a month known for horror flicks until the early 1980s. In fact, October didn't reall[...]
It's October! Time for #SocietyScreams, a month of spooky Halloween fun! So in honor of this fabulous time of scariness, I'm having extra movie live-tweeting creepiness! Next week is demon week, so I'm jumping on that train by live-tweeting all three Insidious movies. Monday, October 10th (YUP THAT'S THIS MONDAY, AHHHH!) at 9 EST, join me in watching... Movie cover for Insidious from google images A 2011 supernatural horror film was written by Leigh Whannell and directed by James Wan. The Lambert family Josh (Patrick Wilson), Renai (Rose Byrne), t[...]
I'm writing this through droopy eyes, with a mug of tea that's long grown cold. For today, we had the Nephews. Don't get me wrong. I love everything about the tiny creatures, but three kids that are three and under is nutty. It doesn't matter how hard you try to tucker them out or how many treats you give them, you will eventually lose control of the asylum. You are, at any given time, one bite away from pure pandemonium. Once the kids went to bed, Matt and I collapsed in the living room. We ran through our usual banter about never having sex again now that t[...]
