I am still squeeing and flailing about the IT trailer. September has never felt so far away! I would love to gather up all my horror-loving friends and go see it together! Sadly, that might be a little difficult, so we'll have to settle for live-tweeting scary movies. And this month, I wanted to take a trip back in time and watch an oldie, but a goodie. Let's watch... A Nightmare on Elm Street! The 1984 classic American slasher film written and directed by Wes Craven brought us the stuff of nightmares. This is the film that began the whole gory series. I love i[...]

2 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[...]
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[...]
Happy July, horror movie watching friends! It's time to announce the movie I will be live-tweeting this month. I hope everyone can join me and add your tweets to the mix. This one is a good one. YES! Guillermo del Toro's dark fantasy! Dark fantasy, Kathy? I thought we were going to watch a horror movie?!!?!?! Don't worry, there is plenty of creepiness in this show to qualify it as a horror flick. First, meet Ofelia. She's special. This is her story of how she must fight to save herself and her mother. Her imagination takes her on a journey of self-discov[...]
Hellllloooooo, horror movie fans! It's April! We are celebrating Halfoween! DUDE, WE'RE HALFWAY TO HALLOWEEN! So...wanna watch a movie? A creeptastical movie? I do. After a couple of months of oldies (but goodies!) My Bloody Valentine and Leprechaun, I decided to dive into my drawer full of scary movies and find a newer one to watch in April. What? Don't you have a drawer full of horror movies? AND THIS IS NO APRIL FOOLS JOKE, KIDS! This movie seriously messed with my mind when I saw it in the theater. Alone. Meet our main characters... Siblings Tim a[...]
It's Horror House month here at the Midnight Society, so I just had to do a DIEmonds in the Rough on one of my favorite '80s horror flicks--Night of the Demons. Not only is it a b-horror classic, it's a nice twist on the usual haunted house movie. Because as Angela states when things start to go wrong: "This house is not haunted...it's possessed." In Night of the Demons, a group of kids decide to have a Halloween partry at Hull House, an abandoned mortuary. When party organizer Angela convinces the group to conduct a seance, they summon forth demonic spirits tha[...]
Hello, horror lovers. It's me, your scary movie buddy. I love watching shows that send me racing up the stairs at the end of the day, that cause me to leap into bed to avoid the reaching claws of whatever lurks underneath. And I am happy to watch by myself, because I have to, because no one here has any interest. But I sure do love sharing the experience with friends, with those who enjoy the creepy as much as I do. Which is why once a month I live-tweet a horror movie. And a few of us are having a super good time. It is horror/haunted houses month here at The[...]
When it comes to the media I consume, I'm a person that loves loving things. I don't like to spend time dwelling on things I don't enjoy, and I can pretty much tell you something I loved about every movie I've seen, story I've read, game I've played and album I've listened to. I approach each new piece of media with the intent of finding something about it to love. This approach has greatly benefited me as a lifelong horror fan, and especially my love of movies that others might deem unwatchable. So as I was knocking around ideas for a series of posts I could do[...]
This week is Ghosts Week for Midnight Society's #OctFearFest, and today I want to talk a bit about the ghost of the Springwood Slasher. Perhaps you know him by a different name--Freddy Krueger. When people think about what Freddy is, the word ghost doesn’t immediately jump to mind. And over the course of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, he became something much more than a ghost (we can chat about the Dream Demons another time). But at the start of the Elm Street saga, Freddy Krueger was definitely a ghost. Specifically, a vengeful spirit. Like the spiri[...]
