Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.

“Again?” I groaned when I saw the email from Gofobo inviting me to watch the official Wonka trailer. “Do we really need another remake?” No disrespect to Johnny Depp. As far as character actors go, he’s a legend.

Are you a sucker for “based on a true story” or “inspired by” movies? I am. Big time. That’s why the forthcoming horror movie, Heir of the Witch, caught my attention. Victoria Bell, the movie’s writer, director, and star, drew inspiration for the movie from her grandmother, who was actuallyContinue Reading
Even though the trailer had piqued my interest, I put off watching Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. I’m aware of the D&D game, of course, but I never played it. Other than that it’s a fantasy-based role-playing game (RPG), I don’t even really know anything about it. But didContinue Reading
