31 days of Halloween, day 30: disability rep

October 30, 2019October 19, 2019Leave a comment

I've tried to collect horror here with positive (or at least, not damaging) portrayals of disability.

31 days of Halloween, day 27: high school horror

October 27, 2019October 16, 2019Leave a comment

High school was not the greatest time of my life, which must be why horror stories set in high schools are so common.

31 days of Halloween, day 24: Horror on Ice

October 24, 2019October 16, 2019Leave a comment

If there's one thing I fear, it's the coming of winter each year. I hate being cold, and I know I'm not alone - which is probably why this list was so easy to make!

31 days of Halloween, day 22: Boogeymen

31 days of Halloween, day 22: boogeymen

It's one of our earliest fears, the boogeyman in the closet. This creature goes by many names, but a few things remain the same: he is a shadowy entity who preys on children.

31 days of Halloween, Day 20: Book/Movie Pairings II

31 days of Halloween, day 20: book / movie pairings II

October 20, 2019September 30, 2019Leave a comment

I'm coming at you with a few more book/movie pairings. I chose not to pick book-to-movie adaptations, but rather books and movies that complemented each other.

31 Days of Halloween, Day 19: Creepy Dolls

31 days of Halloween, day 19: creepy dolls

Dolls are totally creepy, even when they aren't in a horror movie. And when they are, you'd better watch out...

31 Days of Halloween, Day 18: Fairy Tales Gone Bad

31 days of Halloween, day 18: fairy tales gone bad

October 18, 2019September 30, 2019Leave a comment

Dark fairy tales are one of my favorite things. I love taking a familiar story, especially one that ends "happily ever after" and, well, making it not end that way. Some of the original fairy tales are pretty horrific on their own, actually.

31 Days of Halloween, Day 17: Highway to Hell

31 days of Halloween, day 17: highway to hell

October 17, 2019September 30, 2019Leave a comment

Discovering the unknown can dredge up a variety of fears, and where best to meet the unknown than on a road trip? Instead of snacking on gas station food and singing along to the radio, these stories take us on a literal journey as the characters try to escape the monsters that follow them.

31 Days of Halloween: Attack of the Katies

31 days of Halloween, day 16: attack of the Katies!

October 16, 2019September 30, 2019Leave a comment

Being a horror lover, I am always excited when I find a horror novel with my name in the title. It has happened more often that I thought it could. There are plenty of scream queens named Katie too!

31 Days of Halloween: Imaginary Friends

31 days of Halloween, day 15: imaginary friends

October 15, 2019September 30, 2019Leave a comment

Little kids are usually pretty creepy in horror. One of their creepiest habits is having an imaginary friend, who usually turns out to be a ghost or a demon.
