There is nothing better than a good horror movie to give you a scare. It’s exhilarating watching a scary movie and being terrified by events unfolding on screen. Then there are the jump scares that will have you digging your nails into the armrest of your couch as the tension rises. And while the scares are part of what makes horror so good, it’s also the characters. From the final girl to the unlucky victims, horror movie characters are the driving force behind any horror flick, particularly the villains. Think about your favorite horror movies and more likely than not, the one thing they have in common (besides scares) is the big bad who terrorizes the on-screen character. All the...
There are few movies as divisive amongst genre fans as "The Mist," which celebrates its 15th anniversary today, November 21, 2022. The film was the third of three Stephen King adaptations from acclaimed writer/director Frank Darabont and a massive departure from the classical, more serious stories like "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile.""The Mist" is a story about humanity under pressure and the choices you make when all the chips are down. It also happens to have a lot of creepy-crawly monsters waiting to jump out of an ethereal mist and eat people alive.The movie follows David Drayton, an average family man who is both tough and empathetic. He's modeled after movie poster artist Drew Struzan and it's through...
Going to therapy can be a wonderful step in taking care of your mental health and learning healthy coping mechanisms. Sometimes, all we need is an unbiased, outside perspective to help us work through trauma, sort out our fears and uncertainties and remind us that we are enough just the way we are. I often leave a therapy session feeling 10 pounds lighter than I did an hour prior, as I’ve been reminded that I don’t have to let stress be a massive burden on my shoulders. But the thing about therapy is that we don’t all have the time, money or resources available to go. It can be incredibly expensive if not covered by insurance, difficult to squeeze into...

When you talk to someone about "The Walking Dead," one question inevitably comes up, and no matter the answer it's met with a word or nod of understanding. To an outside observer, it may sound a little bit like we're talking about sobriety. "When did you quit?" "I quit three years ago," or six, or seven. By my calculations, based on the difference between the highest point of the show's ratings and the lowest, there are at least 14 million of us walking around who once watched the apocalyptic drama series live, but stopped tuning in somewhere along the way. Maybe we're the real walking dead, or maybe it's the people who chose to keep trucking through the zombie series that felt like...
