We haven’t done one of these in a while, and with Halloween approaching it’s time to scary up the playlists! I don’t know about you, but a good Halloween song can make an eh day a lot of fun. So I’m going to go through a few of my favorites, and some newer songs that … More Macabre Music Monday!
So I have this quirk..I may not completely believe everything that I read, but there’s a part of me that kind of wants to. My grandmother was the same way – very into UFO conspiracy theories and life in outer space. Granted, I’m not so big on that end of the spectrum, but there are … More Monster Monday: Cryptozoology and Real Hauntings
You may not realize it if you follow this blog, but I stinkin’ love Halloween. (heh. heh. heh.) There’s something freeing about this time of year, whether it’s walking through the leaves or wondering what’s grabbing your leg while you’re trying to rake them. (What? You don’t do that to people?) I actually grew up … More Howloween Blog Hop!
So I’ve been thinking lately about that age-old topic that gets my blood boiling…women and horror. I feel strongly about gender equality in genre, I think that we have a lot to contribute to the dark genres, and when I happened upon an old post about the top 25 women horror writers you’ve never heard … More Thoughts on Women Horror Authors
So, I really wasn’t kidding when I said I wanted to grow up to be Elvira. Horror hosts and anthology shows are things that have always intrigued me. Shows like The Twilight Zone, Tales from the Dark Side, Tales from the Crypt, and on and on…they’re fabulous. Where else can you get such a range … More The full range of horror
If you’ve hung out with me, read my posts, or been around me for any amount of time, you know that eventually I’m going to say something about Cthulhu. I can’t even remember at what point I even discovered H.P. Lovecraft – I think I heard references to Call of Cthulhu or something and was … More Monster Monday: Cthulhu and the Eldergod Brigade
So I want to take a look at some stories that specifically freak me out in some way. This week, we’re looking at a tale by my favorite of favorites, Ray Bradbury. This spooky story is found in his collection of shorts titled The October Country. If you haven’t read this gem yet, do it…it’s … More Fear Friday: The Next in Line
Sorry for the delay – things have gotten ahead of me and I didn’t get a chance to sit down until right this second. I’d like to shine the spotlight on monsters I have an affection for on Mondays, and give examples of some of my fave books/movies that feature them. So, this week, since … More Monster Monday: Vampires
It’s fairly obvious that my love of fantasy and my love of music really fuel In the Red. That comes across pretty blatantly, and I probably don’t even have to say that’s the case anymore. Yet there’s something else that fueled that story, or rather something that I discovered part way into the piece. In … More Fantasy, Rock n’ Roll, and…Getting Spiritual?
Those who know me know that there is one musician, one artist, one creative person…and then there is everyone else. I think we all have one particular influence that burns into our lives and helps us realize what all is possible. For me, that person is David Bowie. I realize that he’s that way for … More Music Monday: And Along Came Bowie
