The Creepy Carnival of Souls
My name is Jessica Nettles, and as an independent author, I appreciate excellent independent films. I recommend Carnival of Souls (1962), which is a very early indie film directed by Herk Harvey (his only directoral credit). Yes, it’s black and white. Yes, it’s quiet, low-key horror that doesn’t move like the horror of today.Read More
Jason is an icon. From the moment he first popped up out of the water he was cemented into pop culture. He would cleave his way through countless teens and young adults right into our hearts. The thing is that he was not a one note undead killer from the get go. See unlike most horror icons, Jason evolved. He started out as a victim, an innocent child whose death was tragic. He was brought back as the killer for the sequel and stuck a bag on his head (BTW, my story “Sacked” from 3 Sisters is a reference toRead More

There are movies you watch because they’re great, and then there are movies you watch because they somehow feel like childhood. The Monster Squad is very much the second kind. Not that it isn’t great, more that it is a movie that feels like it was assembled in a laboratory specifically designed to appeal toRead More
October has always felt like the perfect month to let the movies take over. The weather gets colder, the leaves start changing, the days get shorter, and suddenly watching something creepy, autumnal, nostalgic, or just a little weird feels like an obligation rather than an indulgence. Daily Halloween movie challenges have become a beloved October tradition for exactly that reason.So this October, I’m turning this very blog into one giant celebration of Halloween and Fall Films.For the entire month, there will be a movie recommendation every single day. Thirty-one days, thirty-one films, and hopefully a whole lot of opinions, arguments,Read More
Pac was unlike any wrestler before him. Yes, there have been other athletic short guys. Yes, there have been other muscular flippy dudes. There had even been guys that could do most of what he did in the ring. But none of them had that aura that defined PAC. I first became familiar with him from his work in Dragon Gate. In a company full of super talented super athletes, he still stood out. In particular the first match of his that I can recall in any detail was him, Masato Yoshino and BxB Hulk vs CIMA, Naruki Doi andRead More
There are wrestlers you watch. There are wrestlers you cheer for. And then there are wrestlers who make you stop and think, How the hell did he just do that? PAC was one of those wrestlers. He was The Man That Gravity Forgot. I don’t talk about my love of wrestling like others do; in fact,Read More
It’s been a long time since I sat down and blog what was going on in my life. For the most part, I have been focusing on writing and publishing tips. But this year has been a roller coaster of work and personal growth. Which has been an amazing roller coaster. Work- So, we will start here. I started a full-time job Dec of 2025. Which has been great for my mental health, and I love the job that I have. I mean, I would love for my writing to be my full time writing but I feel one dayRead More
If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, did it really fall? There’s a strange kind of silence that comes after releasing a book. You spend months, sometimes years, shaping something out of yourself, imagining the moment it enters the world as some kind of thunderclap. Then six months pass and only a handful of people have bought it. No crowds. No sudden career shift. No dramatic validation. Just a few sales notifications scattered across half a year like pebbles dropped into a well. I thought I was supposed to feel devastated byRead More
8-Bit Theatre: Waiting for the Punchline, Fearing the VoidI didn’t binge 8-Bit Theatre. This wasn’t a weekend adventure for me.No, I lived with it.I was already a Final Fantasy obsessive when Brian Clevinger started posting those early strips in the way back of 2001. I knew the NES sprites by heart. I knew the game’sRead More
