I love going to the movies and love horror movies, so this week, I took myself to see Black Christmas. The trailers hinted at screaming and running and hiding and killing with sorority girls (AHEM WOMEN) and a creepy masked invader, all wrapped up with Christmas lights. Sounded fun! I went, with no other expectation than to enjoy myself. I did enjoy myself! And left with a head full of thoughts, unusual for a slasher movie, right? The 2019 film, directed by Sophia Takal, and written by Takal and April Wolfe, is the second remake of the 1974 movie Black Christ[...]

0 It's February the month of hearts and candy and love... or we could watch a horror movie. If you're like me, when it comes to scary, the list of people willing to share the experience is slim, or none. So I am bringing us together on Twitter for a live-tweet each month. In honor of Valentine's Day, I have chosen the slasher film My Bloody Valentine from 1981. I have not seen this! And, even though I got the DVD in the mail, I will resist watching until the live-tweet. *pets DVD case* I will resist! So if you want to see some in the moment Kathy reactions to th[...]
I feel comfortable talking about this now, because it's actually going to happen. This franchise is so near and dear to my heart that I din't want to get my hopes up until it really started to come together. A FRIDAY THE 13TH game is being developed, and it has the potential to be amazing. Right now, there is a Kickstarter project in it's final week, and the funding goal of $700k is almost 90% funded. I would be shocked if it did not reach its goal now. (although you can help it by getting on board here if you're interested). Check out the intro vid[...]
I was initially going to post this week about my favorite slasher Jason Voorhees, and why I love him so. But my fellow Midnighters have done such a great job writing about different slashers and why they’re so great, I decided instead to write about the Woodsview Harvester. The Harvester is the slasher that Jolene and I created for our new Woodsview Murders series as our love letter to all the slashers that have come before. I can honestly say creating a slasher was one of the items on my writing bucket list. I literally grew up in the era of slashers. Texas Ch[...]
Hello Kittens, Happy Slasher Week!! Like my fellow bloggers, I'm a giant fan of slasher horror. I grew up hiding underneath my blankets, thinking the soft cotton would guard me from Freddy's claws. I know that if you're afraid of something in your house, you run outside...not upstairs. While I was terrified of these killers, I respected them. As I grew up, I developed a fondness for a certain type of crazed killer. Females. Nothing gave me the chills quite like a kind, motherly type cutting someone's throat. So, in honor of Slasher Week, I give you my[...]
My October Fear Fest series of let's plays continues this week with the second installment of UNTIL DAWN. For those that missed the first couple episodes, you can watch them here. If you haven't heard of UNTIL DAWN, it's essentially a game where you as the player are directing your own slasher film. Every choice that you make has a ripple effect on the story, and who lives and dies will do so because of your decisions (or lack thereof). For #OctFearFest, I'm doing a let’s play series with UNTIL DAWN, and I’ll be posting the episodes both here are over[...]

In addition to being a huge horror fan, I'm a lifelong gamer. So, anytime those two interests can overlap, it makes me very, very happy. And it just so happens that a game arrived recently that not only combines my love of horror and games, but does so with my favorite kind of horror movie--the slasher film. UNTIL DAWN is a game where you as the player are essentially directing your own slasher film. Every choice that you make has a ripple effect on the story, and who lives and dies will do so because of your decisions (or lack thereof). For #OctFearFest, I'll[...]
