This month let's watch a little gem I found years ago called The Awakening. Time for... Where I tweet a whole lotta thoughts and reactions (and annoy the Twitter world) to a horror movie! Released in the US in 2012, The Awakening, a British supernatural film, was directed by Nick Murphy and written by Nick Murphy and Stephen Volk. Florence Catheart (played by Rebecca Hall) doesn't believe in ghosts. She investigates hauntings in order to reveal that nothing paranormal exists. She heads to a boarding school to once again prove that ghosts are[...]

0 It is time, once again, for Midnight Society Movie Night announcement. Horror movie friends, let's watch The Nun. Let's watch together huddled in the dark, tucked cozy under blankets. Who's bringing the cookies? Popcorn? I posted my thoughts on the 2018 film by James Wan and Gary Dauberman in my previous post. You can read it here! About how I ran to see this movie and left a bit disappointed, and then how I rewatched it (because The Conjuring universe is one of my favorites) and discovered pieces of the puzzle I had missed. So, I need to[...]
I know it's February, but it's always a great time for some trick-or-treating with a bit of murder and mayhem. So this month for Midnight Society Movie Night, join me on Twitter for Halloween! Halloween...a slasher film released October of 2018 written by David Gordon Green, Jeff Fradley, and Danny McBride, and directed by David Gordon Green brings us back to the story of Laurie Strode and what being a survivor means. Remember all those Halloween movies? We all watched them. Well, forget every one except the first, because this movie[...]
It's time for the Midnight Society Movie Night announcement! Let's watch Truth or Dare. I don't know about the rest of you, but I've been watching a lot of very happy, very cute Christmas movies, so I think it's time for some screaming and fear. What's better than watching people try to escape gruesome deaths? Not a lot. Are you ready? I didn't see this one in the theater. Why? Well, I was confused every time I saw the trailer, BECAUSE I JUST WATCHED A MOVIE CALLED TRUTH OR DARE I WAS CERTAIN. Complete the dare or die...tell the truth or die... Dire[...]
The Midnight Society is BACK! So, that means Midnight Society movie night returns, where everyone is welcome to join me on Twitter to live-tweet the creepy and dark and weird. Why? Well, if you're like me, you have people in your life who just don't 'do' horror. I go to movies alone. I watch at night in the dark when everyone is in bed. BUT...it's fun to share the terror with friends, with people who like the shadows as much as I do. My goal is to have a scheduled live-tweet once a month and maybe a few surprise movie nights, just because. So welcome to... AN[...]
Because it's Oscar month (this Sunday!) and because a horror movie has been nominated...let's watch Get Out. This fabulous 2017 horror movie directed and written by Jordan Peele, not only made us cringe and shudder, but made us think about how we look at, how we think about, and how we treat people of color. Chris, a black man, journeys to meet his girlfriend's parents, his white girlfriend's parents. The visit should be fine, but from the very beginning the trip tumbles into a mess of weird and creepy. Get Out addresses the true horror of racism, not only a d[...]
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[...]
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[...]
This month will be a special horror movie live-tweet event! We will be heading to summer camp and watching THREE movies. All in the Friday the 13th franchise. Why? Well... Our fabulous fearless leader Jolene hosts a writer/artist showcase where she posts stories and art on her blog. Each year she has a different theme and likes these creations to be a little creepy. I have been honored to be a part of the last three themes: haunted house, harvest festival, and haunted hotel. This year will be my fourth. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to unite artists, to c[...]
I'm late with the announcement, but I didn't know if I would have a free Friday. BUT I DO!!!! So let's watch a horror movie!!!! For July...Sinister. This 2012 British-American supernatural horror film was directed by Scott Derrickson and written by Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill. And scared the living whatever out of me. The Oswalt family moves into a new house. Isn't that always how it starts? Ellison Oswalt is a true crime writer, so he moves his wife and two kids into a house where people were, well, murdered. Yeah...like that... He's t[...]
