At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

This is some dark, sick shit. Our kids deserve a better country than this. We all deserve a better world than this. We have no choice but to defund and dismantle DHS and ICE, and prosecute every ghoul who brought us to this terrible place.

Dressing For Dread: Julia Cotton’s Costumes in HELLRAISERΒ (1987) Welcome to Dressing For Dread, a style analysis focusing on key characters in horror films. Clive Barker's HELLRAISER needs virtually no introduction. But for the sake of this post, lets shift the focus away from the iconic BDSM-inspired costumes of the Cenobites towards the film's most endearing human villain. Dashing antagonist Julia Cotton (Clare Higgins) gives in to viciousness in the name of love and lust.

Hey, as a librarian I have to tell you

You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

Three New Kid-Friendly Horror Novels That Are ActuallyΒ Scary Goosebumps may have been "the training bra for Stephen King," but the treasured R.L. Stine series also paved the way for whole subgenres to flourish. Middle Grade and Young Adult horror novels are booming and have been for awhile. Unlike novels from past decades, modern genre titles for kids aren't necessarily afraid to be scary alongside being spooky and eerie. Besides, if…

I'm very neglectful of Blue Sky. Still, I cast my latest link into the ether and hope it finds a reader looking for scary kids' books that are actually scary.

Haunt Worthy: The Living Dead MuseumΒ (PA) There are more than a few bucket list locations for die-hard horror fans. Monroeville, PA is one of them. Considered to be the birthplace of the zombie, the Evans City/ Pittsburgh/Monroeville area was the stomping (and filming) grounds for director George A. Romero. His legacy includes Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead…

Checked off a big one on my latest Haunt Worthy entry. What's Haunt Worthy? It's a blog series where I visit and review the coolest museums around.
