According to Google, the definition of 'horror' is "an intense feeling of fear, shock, or disgust" which simultaneously explains, and somehow does not explain, why there are so many shitty movies lumped into this genre on Netflix. It's tough to find good horror these days, at least something that's not brought to us by the … Continue reading Watch This, Not That | Horror, Vol. 2

Watch This, Not That | Horror, Vol. 1
I like to consider myself a horror enthusiast, a horror snob if you will. When it comes time to pick the movies I'm going to watch for this column, I can barely get through the horror movie section of Netflix without making a sarcastic remark to myself. I'm very witty. Who decides this belongs in … Continue reading Watch This, Not That | Horror, Vol. 1
Ghost Stories: Part 3
In the winter of 2011, my husband and I moved into our very first grown-up house: a duplex. It doesn't sound grown-up but our rent payment nearly doubled so that was pretty mature for us. The duplex was fairly new so the thought of it being haunted never crossed my mind. Also, I don't believe … Continue reading Ghost Stories: Part 3
Watch This, Not That: Halloween Edition (2)
Hello, and welcome to another edition of Watch This, Not That: Halloween Edition. I'm your host, Typical Jenn, and I believe my taste to be better than the know-nothing movie critics that panned the movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose, one of the best possession movies of all time - FACT. Anyway, I spent my … Continue reading Watch This, Not That: Halloween Edition (2)
Ghost Stories: Part 2
Ever since the incident at our grandma's house, my cousin and I have been obsessed with ghosts and all things horror. Fun fact: for one of our regular horror movie nights we watched the B-rated movie Doctor Giggles and from that day forward, my cousin wanted to work in the medical field. She was 5. … Continue reading Ghost Stories: Part 2
Watch This Not That: Halloween Edition
Not that October (or any month over the last few years for that matter) is normally filled with new horror releases but thanks to the 'rona, there are now zero. But like everything else, I'm making the most of it: I'm watching horror movies I've never heard of and letting you guys know if they're … Continue reading Watch This Not That: Halloween Edition
Halloween, or just 2020?
I don't know why people keep comparing 2020 to a Quintin Tarantino film. Tarantino films are good - even the fight scenes are delightful. Tarantino movies are entertaining, which is the polar opposite of 2020. If director comparisons are what we're after, then I would like to toss M. Night Shyamalan's name in the hat. … Continue reading Halloween, or just 2020?
“The Autopsy of Jane Doe”
Here we are again. Another year. Another October where I, once again, do not have 31 posts relating to my favorite holiday for each day of my favorite month. I have about four. So, here is my first post for Typical Jenn Loves Halloween But Also Loves Procrastination So Instead Of Reading A Halloween Post … Continue reading “The Autopsy of Jane Doe”
For All The Rude People by: Jack Ritchie
A few months ago I read a book of short stories called Not For The Nervous and decided that I would include some of my favorite stories on my site during my 31 Days of Halloween. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did! "How old are you?" I asked! His eyes were … Continue reading For All The Rude People by: Jack Ritchie
A Ghost Story
I have been wanting to tell this story since I first unofficially started my Typical Jenn's 31 Days of Halloween - I say unofficial because I meant to do this a long time ago but this is the first year I've actually gone through with my Typical Jenn's 31 Days of Halloween. Now, I've had … Continue reading A Ghost Story
