Hi everyone, I wrote this last night & I don’t know if it even comes close to celebrating Tim Curry properly, but I tried my best. Like so many others, his impact on my life was deep & I’m so grateful for that: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/thank-you-ti... This is open to everyone!

Thank you, Tim Curry

This one is bit emotional for me, so allow me to pre-apologize if any of this sounds goofy or silly. There have been a lot of tears today. Sometimes you get lucky as a fan and you connect with a perf...

Hi everyone! Today, THE CRAFT is celebrating its 30th anniversary so I wrote something about why it means a lot to me & to so many others as well. Features some fun tidbits from my 2016 interview w/the director & from Fairuza Balk too: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/we-are-still...

Happy Friday the 13th y’all! Last month when we were seeing the first FRIDAY, I had this idea for an article about the stories from these films & it morphed into a series. Here’s part 1 that celebrates the stories of the OG FRIDAY THE 13th: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/tales-from-c...

Also, I’ve been championing SCREAM 4 since day one (technically before if you count my review that came out a few days before release, lol) but I loved championing it for its 10th anniversary years ago. Maybe I’ll need to write something new for its 15th in April. 🤔 dailydead.com/sick-is-the-...

Even though I’m currently in the mix of celebrating indie horror this month, there was no way in hell that I, of all people, would miss celebrating the 10th anniversary of Wes Craven’s Scream 4 today....

Also, since it is the 45th anniversary of MY BLOODY VALENTINE, I figured today would be a good day to share my piece on it from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/one-and-done... I’m a huge fan of MBV & hopefully I celebrated it properly here. Any shares and/or subs would really be appreciated!

Shout out to my favorite podcast for inspiring my daughter and I to run through Wes Anderson’s entire filmography (all first time watches for her)—an incredible listen and it helped my daughter discover her new favorite filmmaker! Thanks @screendrafts.bsky.social, y’all are truly the greatest 🎥 💕

Fun Hammer news! I again had the great privilege to contribute essays for a few more gorgeous Hammer 4K restorations from StudioCanal: FEAR IN THE NIGHT, BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY’S TOMB, and DEMONS OF THE MIND. Hammer has my heart so I am beyond thrilled to be a part of these beautiful releases 🖤

Because I ended up working thru a bunch of my "break," I didn't get to do hardly anything I wanted to get done, including celebrating my work in 2025. In any case, I just wanted to share my site as I'd love some new subs (free & paid!) for the new year: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io
