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.

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:

Whatever Happened to the Nightmares? The Wild Detour of Freddy’s Nightmares Season Two Exploring horror, film, and pop culture, all while celebrating the creators, history, and artistry that keep the genre alive.

A few months ago, I recapped Season 2 of FREDDY'S NIGHTMARES & I had a lot of fun writing about it, even if this season was extremely uneven (& forgot about the nightmares). Please check it out here: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/whatever-hap...
