I often wonder how I came to love horror movies so much. I grew up in the 90s, right during the prime of Full House and Family Matters. But, there were tv shows and books out there especially made for children that I think are the reason I came to love the horror genre. One... Continue Reading →
My Favorite Ghost Story
Horror is easily my favorite movie genre, but to be honest, it really takes a lot to scare me these days. Whether it be from desensitization or just that things aren't that scary, it's hard to find a movie that really leaves me feeling unsettled. From someone who has seen almost every horror movie out...

The Fourth Kind: An Underrated Treat
For as long as I can remember, I've always been fascinated by space. When I was younger I remember really wanting to go to Space Camp and to be an astronaut when I grew up. Sadly, neither happened, but my curiousity for space never dwindled, in fact it grew, especially when it comes to life... Continue Reading →

Zombies, Parkour, and More
It's finally September which means that it is finally spooky season! I may or may not love Halloween more than Christmas.

The Genetic Opera. Repo takes place... Continue Reading →
For your Quaranstreaming Needs: Netflix Edition
If you are one of the lucky ones who gets to work from home right now, I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty jealous. My husband and I both work in jobs that require us to be there in person. I did get a small taste of working from home a few months ago though, and... Continue Reading →
Chrono Trigger made me an RPG addict
I'm feeling nostalgic today so I wanted to write about one of my favorite video games of all time, the game that got me into video games, Chrono Trigger. I was pretty young when my brother got it for our Super Nintendo, but I remember feeling so engrossed in the story, so much so that... Continue Reading →
30 Day Geek Out Challenge…in 1 Day
This week I found a 30 Day Geek Out Challenge and I thought, wow, I could totally do that! But then I remember that I work full-time and have a newborn baby so realistically doing this for 30 straight days? Yeah, probably not going to happen. So then I thought I would just answer all...
