If I showed you this cover, what would you think? As someone who has been reading books since the end of 2022, mostly horror, the cover of any book is important. You may not read the back first but the cover will tell YOU whether or not it’s worth investing. And like with eating, we... Continue Reading →
Stephen King’s The Stand: Book (1978) vs Miniseries (1994)
Ohhhh I’ve been dreading this one. And not for bad reasons but overwhelmed reasons? Look, we’re talking about Stephen King and his works and those can be a manifesto type of situation but we don’t have time for that! I’ll say up front, last read, picked up a few new thrifted books and one was... Continue Reading →
Seasonal Horror
We’re still in summer and yet I’m itching for fall. Mostly because I need my sweatshirt and sweater weather to come NOW cos it’s been so hot.

I really focused more on horror media towards a kid... Continue Reading →

Favorites: Ranking ANOES Franchise
Overdue for a long, long time. The Nightmare on Elm Street franchise is my favorite franchise in the genre. There are only 9 films under its belt and a tv series Freddy’s Nightmares that will be excluded out of this list for the fact that it is a series. Finally, I am going to rank... Continue Reading →
AYAOTD vs Goosebumps: Which One is Better?

Rewatching Goosebumps TV Series
This week, I decided to go back… way back… to exactly 1995. How old was I in 1995? I was 8. The perfect age for this particular show.
