Hey, Valentine’s Day is tomorrow! If, like me, you’re a) single and b) older than twelve, then that probably doesn’t mean much to you. Still, I’m no Scrooge. I don’t hate romance, or even cheap candy. I don’t hate ghosts either, but I really, really don’t want to look at Valentine’s Days past. So, half…
This week…well well well. If last week was the calm before the storm, this was the storm that was as fierce as a complicated simile that went nowhere. I am at this weird limbo where I can’t tell if the writers are idiots writing themselves furiously in and out of corners, or if they’re geniuses.…

What!? Is it Christmas already?? At first glimmer, Donner Pass is pretty in the same way as The Burrowers. Historical horror tends to have that same…
Holy jeeze consistency. Here’s episode 3. I am less impressed this week. I don’t know, you guys. As I’ve mentioned before, “The Following” takes itself pretty seriously.

Oh, man, let me tell y’all about my awesome Wednesday. So, it started out unlike a regular Wednesday. Normally, I get to sleep in on Wednesdays, but I had to wake up early for an extra section of my theatre class. This didn’t bother me, though, because rather than an actual class, we were just…
