Horror Fridays: The Terror







Dear Visitors,

This has to be one of the best series I've seen in a while. Thank you, AMC!

This show s based off of a book that was based off of true events...if that makes sense. The Franklin Expedition is a real historical event where two ships were sent out to discover a new route through the Arctic. The ships and their crew were never seen again. So what happened to them? In Dan Simmons wrote a historical fiction book about the event with a supernatural twist. I haven't read the book yet but it's my list and now that the semester is FINALLY over, I can enjoy myself!

Back to the show, what makes it so scary and intense is the vastness of the unknown. They're in the middle of nowhere with supplies running low, no way to contact help, their ships stuck in the ice, scurvy, paranoia, and some mysterious monster slowly hunting them down one by one. That acting, of course, is lead by Jared Harris, Tobias Menzies, and Ciaran Hinds and this cast makes the show. AMC really knows how to pick their actors.

I believe that this show is just a limited series but I think it would be totally cool if AMC decided to make an anthology series like American Horror Story but about mysterious/unexplained/horrific events like the Franklin Expedition. They can do event like The Donner Party, The Dyatolov Pass Incident, etc.

Check it out!

With Love,
M.G.

Welcome To My Haunted Library

Dear Visitor, Welcome to my haunted library. I'm so glad you could join me. Here's some background on how I ended up here. Originally, I collaborated with a friend on a different blog known as Damsels With Chainsaws. I was known as Damsel Bruja. It was great for a while because we are both great lovers of the horror genre. But alas, great empires will fall apart. This election was a real sore spot between us. I thought that our friendship could endure. I'm of the mind that you are allowed to have different political opinions and still be the best of friends. I guess my politics was too much for her. What resulted was being blocked on twitter, no texts, no calls, no emails, and no continued collaboration on our blog. Now understand, I don't blame her one bit. I've always believed everyone is entitled to their feelings and beliefs. All I can do is hope that we will reconcile and pray that she and her family continue to be happy and healthy. An

Danger in The Mist

Dear Visitor, How about THE MIST? I have been excited for this show for a while! Although, I was a little underwhelmed. Right out the gate they pile on a ton of Social Justice issues. I'm all for using entertainment to discussing real issues, but it was all on the nose. There was rape, slut shaming, homophobia, racism, comments on "toxic masculinity", and evil white cops. I think they could've used the rest of the season to bring up all these issues. You know, spread out the issues to push the story along. People are going to be confined to small spaces; claustrophobia and paranoia are bound to set in. I'm really worried that this show is going to be constant virtue signaling and so far other commenters are saying the same thing. I did enjoy how scary The Mist seemed. It was horrifying to see Brian's dog get his head ripped off. I hate seeing animals get hurt, even if it's fake. There was also this uptight bitch that got her jaw ripp
