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[...]

It's that special time for sharing sage advice with the teen in your household. It's College Tour Time! You’ve spent the last few years being stalked by killers through your high school and neighborhood. You've dealt with high school drama, maybe even gotten your heart broken. But you survived!

College won’t always be easy, but people to study and hang out with will make it easier. You'll end up going throu[...]
Short on time? Day job grinding you down? Trying to find two minutes to take a pee break? I know the feeling. Crazy work weeks make for very little time to dose myself with the dark stuff. Some of my favorite things when life gets hectic are short, compacted horror stories and films. Six words stories? Cool. I'm down. Short films that are under twenty minutes to watch? Even better. I've collected a few recent finds to share with you today, and yes, I'm keeping my blather brief. Short Horror Films The Smiling Man You might've seen the other Smiling Man video in c[...]
This week has been something else. I wash my hands of it. When I have a week like this, I've learned to build in down time. And tonight, I do so by thinking about what I want to watch this weekend. My goal is to go through any and all of these seven gems which--for one reason or another--scared the ghosts right out of me the first time I saw them. And then some. #7: THE BOY. Discovered it when I recognized that girl from the zombie show. Holy fekking sheeeet. The only thing worse than a doll is a doll that may or may not be possessed. https://www.youtube.com/w[...]
The ever-so amazing Kira has a list of her essential J-Horror movies here for you to pick from and I previously mentioned the movies you can find on Amazon streaming and Netflix here. And as I mentioned before, J-Horror is my favorite horror. I think K-Horror (Korean) and C-Horror (Chinese) are really spectacular as well, but J-Horror was kinda my first and you always have special feelings for your first. And previously, our wonderful Erica mentioned how she has trouble with gore movies, so it got me thinking--I used to hate gore too, but now I can stomac[...]
So I am the one to blame for J-Horror July. I used Birthday Month Privileges to talk everyone else here at the Midnight Mansion into letting me have this. So yay~ A Quick Lesson On Why J-Horror is Better than American Horror I love J-Horror. It's my favorite, and I think historically the best. You don't see the Japanese remaking American horror movies (you don't really see anyone remaking American horror movies, tbh) but you do see Americans constantly remaking Japanese horror movies, to name a few: The Grudge, The Ring, Shudder, One Missed Call, Pulse, and so[...]
What up, loves. Yes, this post is a wee bit on the late side today, my apologies. I forgot to hit "post" instead of "save" and whatnot. BUT, as you probably already know if you follow the blog, it is HALFOWEEN! We are halfway to our holy holiday. How are you celebrating Halfoween? Me? I'm going to Tribeca Film Festival next weekend, with tickets to the horror movies. Because, well, it's me. And I live in New York, and I figured I should probably go to that 'cause I live here and all, and what other movies would I see but horror movies? Let's breakdown t[...]
Hello Kittens, I hope your holidays were delightful. My better (but far less scary) half got me a nest for Christmas, so I spent a ridiculous amount of time in my papasan chair, colouring in my Sherlock book and reading, swaddled in fluffy blankets and wearing a frog onesie. It was majestic. Now that the holidays are over, it seems we're getting a delightful pile of fresh new horror. flicks We kicked it off with KRAMPUS, and have THE BOY coming out soon, which looks awesome. But the one I'm most looking forward to is THE FOREST. THE FOREST is about Aok[...]
It's that time of year, when I plant myself in front of the Hallmark channel and watch cute movies until my insides glow like Christmas lights and my heart grows three sizes. And I love it. Usually when January hits, I watch non-stop horror just to reduce my heart to normal size and counteract the glow of the season. But maybe I need a bit of balance during the month of December. There are alternatives to sickly sweet love stories and tales of finding the holiday spirit, maybe a few where the Christmas spirit tries to kill you. When a new scary movie release[...]
