Half of this list is garbage. Seriously. So many missing actors who are mainstays in movies across the horror genre. What is up with the 90s one franchise actresses included? If you want to do the list by actual final girl character, then it makes sense to include Neve Campbell and Jennifer Love Hewitt, but otherwise…

The irony for me is that while I’ve spent so many hours reading past stories particularly during my work’s major fundraising event in Octobers past, so basically my breaks during 12 hour days, THIS year I was on medical leave and actually could have spent so many hours indulging my love for this annual tradition and…

Yeah, so using the same initial photo again is going to cause some people who are typing “scary stories” into your search bar to miss the fact that this is the updated article with the winners for this year. I kept refreshing and thought this was the one posted a few weeks back introing this year’s contest. Yes, I did…

For me, it’s the mixing and grasping metaphors that run a little too amuck within the dialogue. That’s where I think the writers are tipping their wannabe Shakespeare card when they should be satisfied that they can occasionally nail a solid Oscar Wilde for the 21st century.

What the hell are you even talking about? Where in the fuck did I say anything that you so maniacally extrapolated? I pointed out an error in the article - in the basic statement. Fuck off with your smarminess while clearly having no grasp of my comment which was just a CORRECTION of the copy. Did I fucking say I…

Do you have an actual concept of how many of these people have actually paid off the amount they borrowed and are now spending years just paying the interest that accrued? Do you know how many people were told when they signed up that if they worked in public service or education for 10 years after school, the…

Probably not the first to point this out, but “It’s been 2 years since Americans made student loans payments” is not accrurate. Thousands of us have been making payments to non federal student loan lenders like Navient this whole time, regardless of loss of income during the pandemic. 

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER. Seriously, this has to be a finalist. I feel like Stefon from SNL saying this but... “This story has everything - stranger danger, lost time, too-many-teeth vengeful ghosts, protective pooches, 911, dead birds, foreboding abodes...”

I am not going to feel guilty about loving fall, FFS. I grew up in Maine. My favorite place on the planet is the cemetery with duck ponds that was blocks from my house. Fluorescent orange sugar maples, legit ghost stories, chocolate chocolate chocolate, the one day of the year you can still play dress up, more visible…

So, I’m a huge horror movie fan and have to say that when I finally saw Green Room, having already been a fan of the director and knowing full well what it was about, I can’t really think of any other movie that had me so tense throughout. Like from the moment it started, I was so stressed and wrapped in suspense and…

We moved to a new place this spring, a year after our cat Yuna died and I still panic that her spirit didn’t come with us. She made her presence known several times during that first year and though we have her ashes with us, I haven’t felt her since we moved. Thinking about it makes me want to bawl. Our cats are our…

There’s a lot going on in this article - and a lot that loses credibility when you reduce an Asian woman to ridicule by way of hatred for white women. There’s a lot than can be debated about how allies should behave or what their role is or if there’s no such thing as real white allies in a racist system or how white…

She was running from it on pavement, not the woods, and I’m not suggesting bare feet would be easy - I was merely pointing out that Trevorrow’s movie was infamous for that scene, that choice and also the rolling up her sleeves scene. The movie painted both leads in pretty terrible, cliched stereotypes tbh. 

Don’t forget running from a T-Rex in heels.

Sidebar, but the beautiful dead girl trope kept me from thoroughly enjoying the first season of The Expanse. Even though technically, the girl in question wasn’t dead yet and her life was built up throughout the course of the season - it was the detective a la Laura/Laura Palmer falling in love with her when she…

This is, of course, because I am a lifelong cat-haver, but the entire time I was reading your story, I kept thinking, “how can you lock the door every night with the cat in there with you, what if he wants to get out?” Interesting how it ended with a ghost cat!

My mom started having dreams about her father dying two weeks before he did. He wasn’t sick - or scratch that, he actually was sick with lung cancer but hadn’t even been close to diagnosed yet. They found the lung cancer when doing an autopsy because he actually collapsed from a brain aneurysm - on Halloween night, no…

OMG, CROWS ARE THE BEST. They really get their people’s back. I leave peanuts out for them and they helped me find my escaped housecat once and swoop and caw at every single dude that comes down our street alone.

Holy shit, this story wins. It’s not even scary but amazing. And sad, and well-written...like I could seriously see this as a twilight zone episode or something!! This all played out like a movie in my head. Good job!

I’m very much the horror buff of me and my husband, and spend much of my October seeking out horror films I haven’t seen yet to marathon, but he is into the supernatural and alien subgenre and is also a general documentary geek, so it’s funny you say that because I started to watch by myself and realized this was one…
