Photos: If I Took The Substance

I don't even recognize myself in these photos of a younger version of the creature that I am. Shades of the playful inner child and the teenager that wants revenge. Both the horror shirt and my hair are now grayer, but remember we are one.

Black Christmas Watchalong

I knew I could count on our High Priestesses to pick a good horror movie that will help wash our consumerist holiday worries away. This cult favorite came out the same year as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, also inspiring slasher classics like John Carpenter's Halloween.

Plus, it's got Margot Kidder and Olivia Hussey, who said that when she met Steve Martin for the first time, he told her that she starred in one of his favorite films of all time. Hussey initially thou...

Newsletter: Wicked Pluto in Aquarius

Originally, this was gonna be a rant about liberals and conservatives. But then I remembered this newsletter is for my Patrons and not my high school diary my Mom would read without permission. This is my first year doing the thing completely on my own, and while it's been a stressful time collectively and a wild time personally, it's also been the most gratifying year of my life, creatively. And it would have not happened without all of you.

I fucking love this community. You are a wo...

Q&A: Gratitude During Seasonal Depression

What are we grateful for in times where we need to remember hope? Why was Bella depressed when she was finally rid of that annoying sparkly stalker? Why do people call it Thanksgiving instead of Thankstaking?

Come hang out after our Synthwave party and please drop your questions in the comments. Ask literally anything at all!

Photos: Coven Family Values

That time I gave being middle-aged Wednesday Addams a whirl. As you can see, there's a wide-range of emotions from "judgmental" to "annoyed" to "make it stop."

Newsletter: Day of the Dead

This newsletter is not about that awesome zombie movie, my dear horror fans. It's about Día de Muertos, the most beautiful holiday and the only cool thing nuns let us participate in Mexican Catholic school. This is still surprising to me considering there's not a single mention of Day of the Dead in that famous fairytale book called The Bible. Speaking of stories, by now you've probably cried to Disney's Coco or you're, at least, aware of badass ...

Q&A: We're All Clowns

Everyone's talking about Joker 2 vs Terrifier 3 while I love both those clowns. Did you watch both movies? What did you think? Let's talk spoilers and also ponder why these 2 movies make society so uncomfortable.

Please comment with your questions about literally anything, but also movies, music, and why I love art that makes people mad 🤡

Photos: Season of the Love Witch

According to the experts, men are very fragile. They can get crushed down if you assert yourself in any way. Tampons aren't gross. Women bleed and that's a beautiful thing. Do you know that most men have never even seen a used tampon? What a pussy.

Trick 'r Treat Watchalong
