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.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
Can we officially declare it the summer of the Conjuring house yet? All roads —or at least screens— seem to lead there in some shape or fashion this year. It started with The Conjuring 3, then followed with discovery+’s Shock Docs: The Devil Made Me Do It. (Which, no, wasn’tContinue Reading
Ah, summer. That astronomical season that begins on Sunday, June 20, and lasts until Wednesday, September 22. Or pre-Spooky Season, as I like to think of it. Because normally (meaning pre-pandemic), the spring and summer months see the most uptick in paracons, Halloween, and horror fests. After being cooped upContinue Reading
M. Night Shyamalan’s new mystery drama thriller, Old, is set to release in theaters on July 23, 2021. It marks a milestone in the filmmaker’s career because it’s his first movie shot entirely somewhere other than Pennsylvania or the Greater Philadelphia area. But where was his new movie Old filmed?Continue Reading
Okay, there’s one on this list that doesn’t exactly qualify as an iconic horror movie artifact, but it did help create one of the most iconic horror movies ever, Psycho. It was the typewriter used to write the screenplay. (See number 2.) It’s among the horror movie artifacts that areContinue Reading
Why was Ed Warren so invested in seeing the Devil put on trial instead of Arne Cheyenne Johnson during the 1981 trial following the murder of Alan Bono? It was one of the things that perplexed me as I watched the new discovery+ documentary about the case, Shock Docs: TheContinue Reading
The Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It hit theaters and HBO Max on Friday, June 4. A new “Shock Docs” documentary about the case that inspired the movie starts streaming on discovery+ June 11. Unlike the movie, it delves into the true events that lead up to ArneContinue Reading
Full disclosure, before I go getting anyone’s hopes up: There’s been no official word from anywhere that there even will be a Conjuring 4. However, if there was, what would it be about? Heaven knows Ed and Lorraine Warren investigated a lot of cases. The CT Post compiled a listContinue Reading
Did aliens really crash-land near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947? While the world anxiously anticipates the release of more declassified UFO secrets from the Pentagon —or UAPs, as they now call them— Roswell: The Final Verdict examines the case in a new way using artificial intelligence (AI). The six-episode miniseriesContinue Reading
You know that saying, “Ask and you shall receive?” It’s worked yet again. After visiting Zak Bagans Haunted Museum in December 2019, I had one question: Is there, or is there not, a doll on the Demon House stairs? Well, someone finally responded. Not from the museum. A fellow restless spiritContinue Reading
In April I wondered if the haunted Florida jail that was for sale and making headlines galore had already sold. I’m talking about the Gilchrist County Jail, which had been hawked as “certifiably haunted.” (Which poses a problem because there is no such thing as “certifiably haunted.”) Anyway, when IContinue Reading
