I stole this Lydia Deetz hoodie from Frank when I met him, and if you look underneath it's like "Night of the Living Dead" under there. Like all bloody veins and pus. Shout out to Cameron Rice for taking these cool pics of my utterly alone ass πŸͺ¦

Back To The Future Watchalong

Even though this coven is a democracy, I have to be the tie-breaker sometimes. It was so hard to choose but I had to go with the masterpiece that is Back to the Future!

This movie is a clinic in how to make a movie, with its iconic characters, quotable dialogue, incredible soundtrack, and groundbreaking special effects. No other movie blends science fiction, comedy, adventure, romance (and incest?) so perfectly.

So grab your Pepsi Perfect and favorite intoxicants as we ...

Newsletter: Nostalgia is a Seductive Liar

Many of us remember grieving the death of Kurt Cobain and being woken up by a couple of Manchester lads singing "You and I are gonna live forever." So Oasis reuniting is making us lose our collective minds, not to mention they were so dramatic we thought there was a better chance of Joy Division reuniting (RIP Ian Curtis.)

Demand for the Gallagher brothers reunion tour will absolutely dwarf that seen for Taylor Swift. Brits spent hours moving up th...

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Review

Reboots and modern sequels are a dark room. One big dark room. Was the new Beetlejuice one of them? I have strange and unusual thoughts. Thanks to Catherine O'Hara, nerds who love Tim Burton, and the GOAT: Michael Keaton. πŸ’œπŸŽ¬βš°οΈπŸ’€πŸ’šπŸͺ¦

Hot Ones Challenge

My friends agreed to do the hot sauce challenge. Did our friendship survive? What about their tongues? Haleigh knows what's up and we both think actors are pussies, along with the rest of our friends. Please enjoy the tears and the laughter and some more tears 🌢

Q&A: Alien Romulus + Disneyfication of Society

Did you watch the new Alien movie? Are you a Disney adult fanatic or are you sick of your favorite IP suffering through Disneyfication? Do you even care about any of these big franchises or you just wanna watch the next Luca Guadagnino?

Please comment with your questions about literally anything, but also movies, music, and why I'd rather watch Ellen Ripley and her cat until I die than RDJ's Dr. Doom ✨

Alien Romulus Review

Got to see the new Alien movie with my friend April at the Egyptian Theater, where the 1979 masterpiece premiered. Here's our quick out-of-the-theater review. No spoilers! Thanks to Beyond Fest, the American Cinematheque, and practical effects πŸ‘½

Photos: On The Internet, Everyone Can Hear You Scream

Alien is one of my favorite franchises, mainly because I fucking love H.R. Giger and his incredible art. So in honor of Alien: Romulus coming out, here are some photos of me wearing an awesome xenomorph piece from La Femme en Noir collection. Ellen Ripley forever πŸ™Œ

Face/Off Watchalong

It's been almost 3 decades since Paramount released the most ridiculous action movie directed by the legend that is John Woo. The coven has decided we're gonna watch the most absurd premise, with big explosions, and possibly the most excessive acting we've seen from Nicolas Cage and John Travolta. So grab your popcorn and favorite intoxicants as we figure out why this movie made $250 million at the box office 🍿

Newsletter: Vampires Good. Superheroes Bad. Elections Mid.

Between the Olympics and the Vampire Lestat reveal, it's a big week for dramatic and liberating French antics. Meanwhile, across the pond, Americans live in a bubble of such enormous repression, it appears JD Vance has a worrying couch kink. But more on that later. Speaking of horror, I never thought I’d be a ...

It's my birthday month so here are some photos from when I first embraced wearing animal prints to go with my black animal thick hair. I kinda miss it now that it's covered in grays, but alas, they say the best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles πŸ˜‰

Q&A: Comic Books & the Cosmos

Robert Downey Jr. is Dr Doom! Lestat is a Bowie inspired vampire rock star! Deadpool & Wolverine is here! Do we care? Are we sick of comic book movies? Is Dr. Doom an Aries? It's that time of the month to ask me anything!

Please comment with your questions about literally anything, but also comic books, movies, vampires, astrology, tarot, the cosmos, and why you can find my ranking of the MCU in the trash ✨

Bram Stoker's Dracula Watchalong

2 of my favorite vampire movies back to back?! This coven continues to bring the funk and the joy. Bram Stoker’s Dracula gets made fun of plenty, due to it's soap-opera like romance and Keanu's hilarious attempt at a British accent. But it will always be dear to my heart cause of its incredible production design, soundtrack, costumes, cinematography, hot 90s actors, and masterful goth vibes. So grab your popcorn, favorite intoxicants, and join me in watching this staggeri...

June Vlog: BuffyCon, Fred Again & MaXXXine Premiere

Living in Los Angeles is expensive and loud af. I might have to move one day. However, while I'm here, I'm really appreciating all the art this city can offer. Especially live music, movies, and gatherings with friends that mostly consume or make art. So here are the nice things I got to do in June, not including going to the most memorable memorial service ❀️

JAAAAAAAMES! Oh wait, wrong movie. Infinity Pool is still Mia Goth's funniest performance, though. Her best performance is definitely Pearl, but man, was MaXXXine a fun time at the movies.

Fright Night Watchalong

The Fright Night remake is great, but the original still stands the test of time with its beautiful 80s camp, amazing soundtrack by Brad Fiedel (The Terminator), an and even hotter Jerry Dandrige played by the legendary Chris Sarandon AKA Jack Skellington, Prince Humperdinck, and Detective Mike Norris from Child's Play. So grab your favorite snack, intoxicant, and join us for one of my top 5 vampire movies of all time 🍿

The Love Witch Watchalong

Samantha Robinson is one of the most beautiful sociopathic witches I've ever seen on screen. This horror comedy came out in 2016 and it looks and feels like it was made in 1960s Technicolor. It was directed, written, produced, edited and composed by Anna Biller, a crazy talented person! So bring your popcorn and favorite potions as we watch a hilarious, thought-provoking meditation on the battle of the sexes 🍿

Newsletter: Happy Pride! I’d let Billie Eilish eat me for lunch

One of my gay BFFs texted me saying: "I wanted to make a gay joke but my parents already did." This, of course, got an applause from me and I would like to applaud all the beautiful queers in this coven for being yourselves. I'm so thankful you're here and may your life be full of blessings and rainbows, but not the rainbows that get photoshopped into some late-stage capitalistic brand during the month of June.

Speaking of, we made it through our first month without DJ Bruja R...
