Texas Frightmare – Day 2

The second day of the Texas Frightmare Weekend was a lot of fun. I picked up this Hell Bunny dress from the vendor LIX at the convention on Friday. I thought the B-movie pattern was perfect for a horror convention and it was a lot of fun to wear. That night I got a bit dolled up and we went to the party for the convention. We had the pleasure of meeting some fantastic people. I didn’t get a chance to take photos of everyone but for all the folks we met, thank you for being so kind...

Wardrobe Diary: Rock show in Dallas

♦ Top & Fishnets: Torrid ♦ Jeans: Gussied Up (cut down to shorts by me) ♦ ♦ Boots: Fluevog Operetta Hjordis ♦ ♦ Bracelet: Antique shop in New Orleans ♦ Husband’s Pocketwatch: Alchemy ♦ Sorry the photos are a bit dark and grainy.

Gary did the poster for the event and was invited to be a...

While investigating the building, one of the crew discovers some old session tapes. These tapes set the tone as tension builds and the men begin to argue amongst themselves....

Movie Mondays: Horror Edition

I watch a lot of movies. Whenever I am hanging out in the living room on my computer or reading chances are there is a movie playing in the background. I was trying to figure out why I love movies so much and I think it is their ability to create a shared experience with very little time investment on the part of the viewer. You give them two hours of your life and they can take you through a lifetime’s worth of horror and joy. Sure, some may be duds but you still have to admire all the...

Movie Review: You’re Next

On Monday Gary and I caught the second screening of You’re Next, another TIFF Midnight Madness selection. I did not take the time to read anything about the film beforehand (I am a bit lazy that way) so all I knew going in was that it was a home invasion film. Oh and some friends liked it so much after the Saturday night premier that a round of 2:00 am texts followed when the film was over. My expectations were not incredibly high. I hoped the film was going to be good but with my...
