Carrie and the Horrors of Menstruating While Trans

It was a miniscule observation that launched the story that would become a horror staple. It’s about as simple as a backstory could be.  Stephen King got the idea for his first published novel after seeing a pad/tampon dispenser in a high school girl’s bathroom during his time working as a janitor. This rectangular tinContinue reading “Carrie and the Horrors of Menstruating While Trans”

12 Movies For The Next Ice Nine Kills Album

Metalcore superstars Ice Nine Kills really kicked in the theatrics with the release of their 2015 album Every Trick In The Book, where each song was based on a classic novel (and given that their name comes from a Kurt Vonnegut reference it’s very fitting). A few of the songs on the album were basedContinue reading “12 Movies For The Next Ice Nine Kills Album”

Total Eclipse Of The Needle Drop- Bonnie Tyler’s Treat To Horror

First and foremost, in this house we listen to the full seven minute and two second version of “Total Eclipse Of The Heart”; not the four minute and thirty second version.  I’m not shy about my love for “Total Eclipse Of The Heart” and it is in my Top 3 of karaoke songs (along withContinue reading “Total Eclipse Of The Needle Drop- Bonnie Tyler’s Treat To Horror”

A Winter Isolation Watchlist

I’m not even going to attempt to sugar coat this- the winter season can suck. You have seasonal depression sprinkled on top of regular depression, stresses and anxieties of the holidays, and there’s so many things that need to be done and so many monkey wrenches that can be thrown into things.

Pet Sematary- Ashes To Ashes, Denial To Acceptance

So There was never going to be a “good” time to write this. I kept meaning to at least get a draft going then things kept happening. My dog had a mass on his heart and died…one of my oldest friends called me to tell me that she has cancer….my boyfriend suddenly had to putContinue reading “Pet Sematary- Ashes To Ashes, Denial To Acceptance”

REVIEW: Werewolves Within- Cue Savage Garden!

The third way is to be kind.” Mr. Rogers If you’re like me, you’ve never played the video game Werewolves Within but I’m confident that those who played the game and those that haven’tContinue reading “REVIEW: Werewolves Within- Cue Savage Garden!”

Time To Be Perfectly Queer About The Horror Genre

As Pride month comes to an end and corporations wash out their temporary rainbow social media profile pictures, it’s important to remember that queer and trans people are still here for the other eleven months out of the year. Queer and trans podcasters are still going to be releasing and recording episodes. Queer and transContinue reading “Time To Be Perfectly Queer About The Horror Genre”

A Year With Monsters, Blogs, and Lockdowns

I’ll have to start this with a bit of a prologue.  I used to work at a movie theater. Specifically, I was a keyholder on the housekeeping crew- that was the better way of saying I was janitor.  There were days when I truly did despise my job. It was thankless and began before dawn,Continue reading “A Year With Monsters, Blogs, and Lockdowns”
