That’s what they’re called, people! Really and for real. Witch Balls. They hail from waaaaay back, when people would hang them in their windows and in front of doors to catch evil spirits. The wicked spirits would be so entranced with the shiny glass ball that they’d become trapped inside. I have come to two conclusions from this: 1. Evil … Read More

You know how Frozen has that thing with Kristoff, Sven, and the carrot-sharing? Yeah. That. But with an apple.
Talking to your Daughter about “Pretty”
My daughter is six. I’m not afraid to have “The Talks” with her.

Teach Your Children by Scaring Them: A Podcast

We discuss Women in Horror month, breaking stereotypes, … Read More

Who wants to spend their Saturday morning in their pajamas, hanging out in my bedroom? It’ll be a slumber party! Kristen Lamb has created the ONLINE We Are Not Alone con.
