Before he gave us Goosebumps, he frightened us on Fear Street. Launched in 1989, three years before Goosebumps came onto the scene and made him a household name, R.L. Stine created a lesser known series of books called Fear Street. It was just a few years earlier that Stine made the transition from comedy to …
One of the ironic things about writing about horror movies for a living is that I spend so much time writing about them that I oftentimes find myself with little time to actually sit down and watch them – go figure! It is for this reason that I almost always begin every new year with …
I’ve never formally introduced myself since joining the Halloween Love team a few weeks back, and I’m thinking right about now is the absolute perfect time to do so. My name is John Squires and that little avatar at the bottom of this post is me. But don’t scroll down there just yet. It can …
