We’re crushed to hear that Catherine O’Hara has left us. Horror fans know her work in BEETLEJUICE and THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (as well as a memorable appearance in TALES FROM THE CRYPT), but her body of creativity beyond genre is an epic one. Our condolences to all who loved her.

Hey y'all, I'm a bit nervous that I'll be losing my FT job sooner than later (long story) so I wanted to get better at sharing my work just so maybe I can keep building my audience there. 1st up, here's a piece I wrote on a horror classic:
Eternal Night: Dracula: Prince of Darkness at 60
Exploring horror, film, and pop culture, all while celebrating the creators, history, and artistry that keep the genre alive.
