Bush Gardens/SeaWorld’s Howl-o-Scream has been going strong every year for the better part of 2 or 3 decades. They have a different theme every year, and it’s a “smaller” event to visit than Halloween Horror Nights, but just as much fun. Whether Orla...

Forensics and Chill: True Crime of all kinds for the aficionado
Forensics and Chill: for my aficionados who aren’t quite satisfied with all things fiction, I “got-chew”; these are some of my absolute favorite storyteller-researchers (journos) with horrifically REAL, true cases from every era
Get your notebook an...
I just really love how Megan Lee, this journalist, dives into stories, respectfully and yet with enough passion that you could listen forever. She manages to stay neutral enough, reporting the objective facts, seemingly disinterested in the petty pol...
Dark Asia with Megan
Now this channel is easily one of the best on all of YouTube… Paul Brody delivers tales of antique true crime in a respectful way yet his voice is magnetic, holding you to every word. Most of these events take place in the West, EU, UK, and USA, prim...
Well, I Never
Kris Collins does all kinds of awesome sketches but she also has a True Crime show, a horror film with @CelinaSpookyBoo, as well as their ghost show. She reports the traumatic events of homicide cases accurately, with deep respect, and even donates h...

Classic Sinema (Golden to Modern Age 20th century)
The ORIGINAL, by Roger Corman features a young and brand new actor by the name of Jack Nicholson! While this is also considered comedy (again, dark humor at best), you know with Corman’s name on it as producer that it’s got some high strangeness as t...

The ORIGINAL Midnight Movie, get your popcorn and props ready for the amazingly quirky ride that cemented musical theatre and film into one sticky bun of a production…and managed to garner even more acclaim after going to video than any film ever mad...
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Well have you ever wondered about your kid—or a relative’s or friend’s? Wonder no more: this movie also serves as a guidebook and cautionary tale: be warned, I think Damien is not unusual, especially this time of year bwahaha
Watch The Omen
Probably the scariest movie of all time, how can you skip over The Exorcist?? Maybe not entirely grindhouse, certainly classic 1970s
The Exorcist
1980s Nightmare Fuel, Fun Hell rides, and dream-screams
Night of the Demons is a cult classic—there are actually 4 of them if you count the 2000s’ remake—but the original is just pricelessly kitsch ‘80s comedy/horror done right, with gore. Laughs and screams all night long.
Night of the Demons (1988 film) DVDs & Blu-ray Discs
Nothing beats the original, my beloved Beetlejuice, which is a True Classic—and now also Vintage Tim Burton, so it really never goes out of style!
Beetlejuice
Another classic musical, although this 1980s version is legendary, with names like John Candy, Steve Martin, Bill Murray, and starring Rick Moranis, there was the original before this (to be found in my classic cinema list)… talk about baked dark hum...
Little Shop of Horrors
1990s Horror revisited
Ok so if you’re not into gore or terror, there are some more mildly spooky Disney classics mostly from the 1990s. Hocus Pocus is just magical, The Nightmare Before Christmas is a fave for any Tim Burton fan, and Haunted Mansion is a classic. Hulu has...
27 Nostalgic Disney Halloween Movies
The remake of the classic William Castle film is all kinds of 1999 fun; end of the 90s and the 20th Century, it’s rife with camera tricks and music of that time. Starring Geoffrey Rush and a host of other 90s actors, it’s almost opposite of the origi...
Watch House on Haunted Hill (1999) - Free Movies

No Halloween would be complete without my beloved Beetlejuice, and this is the ever-awaited sequel, which honestly, is pretty darn good. Maybe I’m biased. Maybe it’s because I waited years for it, and of course maybe it’s just because the original ca...
