I wanted to share some updates on the blog and scheduling. Obviously, I haven't been posting consistently as I have in the past. Going back to a more intense, pre-pandemic schedule outside of blogging definitely contributed to my drop off, but I've also been struggling with motivation and drive. So instead of promising a post … Continue reading Blog Updates

New Post Tomorrow
This has been a long week and sleep is calling me away. I'm going to stick to the Friday the 13th franchise with a post for Part II followed by a post for a back half sequel that doesn't get nearly as much love as it deserves for its subversive humor and role in pushing … Continue reading New Post Tomorrow
Taking a Break Because of Spooky Secret Projects
My obligations sneaking up on me while I continue to binge-play video games & blog I'm working on submitting a chapter to a book (!) and an article for Pride month on a horror website (!), so I'm going to need to buckle down and probably won't be posting often this month. I hope to … Continue reading Taking a Break Because of Spooky Secret Projects

Till next time, please check out some of my favorite old posts: My Top 10 Horror Films (already updated because I'm indecisive...)“Do You Not Know We Will Judge the … Continue reading Taking a Break
Pardon the Ash from the Coal Fire….
I need a bit more time this week to write a very special analysis post on one of my favorite movies which is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year. Look for a new deep dive post in the next couple days so I can distract myself till noon on Wednesday the 20th. In my restless … Continue reading Pardon the Ash from the Coal Fire….
Why I Changed My Blog’s Name
TL;DR J.K. Rowling's transphobia is out of line with the values of a Hufflepuff and also that word is copyrighted. If you know librarians, you know we love alliteration when it comes to things we create like programs and services. So when I went to name my blog, I gravitated towards alteration and Hufflepuff Horror … Continue reading Why I Changed My Blog’s Name
Coming Soon! Horrorathon for the Mothers/Men Against Senseless Killings Foundation
I have really enjoyed visiting some not-well-known sequels to well-known horror films, and decided to combine that with a good cause. Over on Facebook, I launched a Fundraiser for Mothers/Men Against Senseless Killings (aka MASK). For every $5 donated to the local Chicago organization Mothers/Men Against Senseless Killings (aka MASK), I have pledged to watch … Continue reading Coming Soon! Horrorathon for the Mothers/Men Against Senseless Killings Foundation
Black Lives Matter
Before I write this week's "Why You Should Watch" post, I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the revolution we are now living through seeking to address systemic racism against Black Americans, and suggest some practical steps you can take if you want to get involved. You may be thinking "this has nothing to … Continue reading Black Lives Matter
Horror in the Time of Quarantine
Horror is an escapist genre that often plays with themes of isolation, contagions, and people turning on one another in stressful situations. How does it impact our viewing of these movies when our everyday lives have begun to reflect these themes? I don't know about you, but I am having a tough time not thinking … Continue reading Horror in the Time of Quarantine
