You know you're a Resident Evil girlie when muscle memory is so locked in that you've beaten the the tutorial button prompts to the punch.

Which is to say I'm cracking into RESIDENT EVIL REQUIEM. 😍😱

My oldest cat just stole a Brussels sprout off my plate. I was shocked but thought I'd let it play out to see if she's a secret herbivore. Nope, the thief thought she'd snatched something worthwhile but immediately rejected her loot.

Cats.

One of my favorite bits out of all the F13 movies is the outhouse singing between Demon and Anita in Part V. I can't explain it, other than it just makes me happy. I could never hate the musical Jason movie.

This message is brought to you by Demon's "oooh, Baby" jingle currently in my head.

I bet you didn't know that India remade THE POOL. What's even crazier is that TU YAA MAIN blows the original out of the water!

This year is a very special year for horror fans, because it's the first time in eleven years that three Friday the 13ths will be taking place in a single year!

That happens to be the maximum amount of Friday the 13ths that can exist in a single year, and it won't happen again until 2037.
