Which Horror Icon could it be?! I went to the awesome and fun Party City today with my family and my Halloween spirit kicked into a new dimension. While there I finally found these Horror Properties Figural keyrings. I wanted to open it and let the world watch like all these other unboxers do so here it is!

Rick Grimes against Negan: this is the only war I want to see happen! The new season of The Walking Dead won't open like The heart-thumping, tear-jerking, shocking episode we got for The seventh season, but AMC promises that It will be just as incredible. The Walking Dead returns October 22 on AMC. The first episode is titled "Mercy." It will run for 67 minutes including commercials. Here is a statement from AMC:  “Rick and his group, along with the Kingdom and Hilltop, have banded together to bring the fight to Negan and the Saviors.”   I'm ready for this! Are you?

For those of you who don't know, I have been hosting a horror movie challenge on Instagram #SeptemberHorrorChallenge and one of the day's challenges was "Favorite Remake." I mentioned that IT was favorite remake and that made some people obsessively hover over that post ready to correct me with false information.  The main things I have been getting: "It is not a remake. It's a new adaption." "It is not a remake. It's a new vision." And recently "It isn't a damn remake." Well, sorry to bust your balloons, but guess what? It is a remake.  Why is It a remake? Well, because there was already an adaption. It crawled into the movie world (mini-series-TV-movie-thing) and was MADE. 27 years later (just as Pennywise comes back to feast) there is a new It movie. So It has been REMADE. Sure, they are both different adaptions of the book and obviously stem from the book--the book is the mother ship, duh. But e...

No Jason Voorhees this year, but hey, we get a new Halloween Special from Spongebob! I am a huge fan of the famous Spongebob Halloween episode "Spongebob Scaredy Pants." Halloween isn't really Halloween until I have watched that episode. Years later, we get a new special! And it's a Friday the 13th special in October! "The Legend of Bookini Bottom" premiers at 7pm EST on Friday, October 13th. Watch the trailer below!

1. Melody was enjoying the cold autumn weather. The sun was off in the distance, leaning happily drunk to the side of the faded blue sky. She was walking down her neighborhood with both hands being warmed by her pumpkin spice coffee. She was crunching the yellow, brown, red, and orange leaves under her red Converse. She looked down smiling enjoying the colors of the fall when a blood splattered leaf turned over revealing a severed hand. She screamed. 2. Jerry woke up needing to go to the bathroom. He had been drinking beer after beer while watching a marathon of horror movies. When he got across the dark hallway to the bathroom his wife was standing in the opening of the bathroom. The light was off, but she was still standing there with her back turned to him. "Babe? You wanna move outta the way? I gotta pee," he said. "Jerry, where are you?" his wife called from their bedroom. Jerry's head snapped back to the bedroom, and when he turned to the bathroom th...

​ Doug reached for his phone, telling him to wake up in a mellow tinkling tone. It was like a calm, relaxing stroll through a sweet rain forest. As soft and innocent as the alarm sound was, Doug wanted to throw his phone at the wall in shatter it into a million tiny pieces. He wanted--no--he needed  more sleep. “It’s already 4:50 a.m.? Son of a—” “Huh? Whuh hon?” Doug’s wife turned to his direction with her eyes shut, gripping the comforter in her arms like an old lover. Doug envied her. She looked so comfortable. He recently started to appreciate sleep since landing a new job which was the total opposite of his graveyard shift. Thinking about sleep at work made him want it like drugs. Ah, I can’t wait to go home and sleep. “Nothing, babe. Just didn’t sleep at all. Go back to bed, love. I’m gonna get ready.” His wife was already off to dream land embracing her warm comforter. She mumbled something incoherently and smacked her lips together. Doug hesitantly got up to empty...

Each season tells a story worth remembering for generations. I have always wanted to read Different Seasons by Stephen King. I had heard it was different than his more notable works, so I picked up the stories of haunted hotels, telepathic teens, vampires, and ghosts first since I am a horror fan (although later on in life I have read many fiction without horror).  So I finally read Different Seasons . I believe King wanted to maybe distance himself from being labeled--only labeled as a horror writer, so he came up with some stories that stray away from his domain. However, two of the stories (Apt Pupil & The Breathing Method) scream of horror. Finding a dead body and being swarmed with blood sucking leeches is also horror. Being convicted for a long stretch of time inside a prison with "the Sisters" is horror, too.  But classifying as horror or not, these stories are compelling, rich, thought provoking, they make you laugh, smile, cringe, feel shocked, an...

Is the new "It' movie a remake or an adaption? I am currently hosting a horror challenge for September on Instagram: #SeptemberHorrorChallenge and after I posted that my new favorite remake is the new It movie, some people (kids, let's be honest) have told me that the new It movie is not a remake, it's an adaption. Well, kiddos, lookit here. Yes, the mini TV series 'Stephen King's It' is an adaption. Sure. And the 2017 It movie is an adaption and a remake. Say no all you want. Correct me all you want. The movie was already made once, thus causing the new adaption to be a remake because guess what?! It has already been made, and it has been  made again! Science is terrific, ain't it, sonny! So next time these little Bill Skarsgard obsessed tweens and weirdos shipping two children together come for your head insisting that It doesn't qualify as a remake, send them over to Uncle Eddie's blog. Wait. Why did I even write this? Keep it c...

I didn't choose the Halloween life. The Halloween life chose me.  Ever since I was a kid, and I first watched this Shape who returned on a Halloween night with a white mask, and only made the noise of breathing, stalking a girl behind the bushes in the neighborhood, I was mystified and intrigued.  After that, watching horror movies my dad rented (I was shocked when I saw a snowman getting touchy-feely with a girl in the shower), I was also watching a show about these kids who sat around for a palaver of scary stories in the woods. Soon after that I was reading these kids books that were scary and had dripping slime on the letters, and also watching the show of that one. Years later, here I am. I'm still into horror movies and books. I am a horror writer, artist, blogger, and Halloween enthusiast. Everyday is Halloween for me, but I go the extra mile once September says hello and sits down, kicking summer in the ass until next time.  I am here to wri...
