Welcome to the inaugural edition of Horror-Writers Film Club. We thought it would be a good idea to have members of the staff watch the same movie, then have a conversation about it. For this first Film Club, Lisa, Shawn, Chassity & I sat down to watch The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh […]

Rare Exports
Classified as Adventure/Fantasy/Horror, “Rare Exports” is a delightful, little Christmas tale from Finland. I wish I could say that I love it as much as everyone else does. I don’t. Way back in 2010, my husband told me a story of hearing a horror movie get an amazing review on NPR. (Yes, I listen to […]

TWD S4, E8: Too Far Gone
The Governor begins this episode by doing a brilliant job of placing blame on the group in the prison for the demise of his former utopia. He spoke grandly of not wanting to hurt people and kind of sounded like a logical guy. Of course, these people have no idea that Hershel and Michonne are […]

TWD S4 E8, “Too Far Gone” by Dusty
What I’m drinking: Bell’s Winter White Ale. One of my favorites this time of year. They take familiar winter spices and put them into a white ale, giving it a different character than I’m normally used to in this type of beer. It’s a nice comforting winter beer, but a more subtle flavor than most […]
