Thanksgiving is just two days away, and for a lot of Americans that means three things: turkey, football, and awkward family dinners. My particular brand of awkwardness this year will involve my grandmother finding out that I have blue and purple hair. Though it's hardly earth-shattering, I am really dreading that conversation, fiends. But if … Continue reading “What? No Pudding?!” 5 of Horror’s Most Awkward Family Dinners

Happy Birthday, Winona Ryder!
Happy birthday to Winona Ryder, patron saint of strange and unusual girls! As was foretold, Stranger Things 2 premiered this weekend.

Monster Monday: Ghostbusters
