🍾🥂🎉 HL Turns 10! — Fondest Halloween Memories?

It’s been a decade now since I first started Halloween Love. In all that time, the project never went Big Time™ (though I always try and offer people big time fun) or made a single penny of profit. Thankfully, passion was always the primary goal, and the idea of profit barely an afterthought, otherwise I

A Taste of Texas Part 2

Terror in the Aisles. That was the film which pushed my obsession with Texas Chainsaw Massacre into a full-blown case of fanaticism.

Party Like it’s 1999 Giveaway

Contestking is the winner! Congrats! Kubrick’s 1999 that is. I’ve always fantasized about going to one of these masquerades. Real life often disappoints though.

They have their place in horror history, of course, but for me the best stories with vampires in them are only good because of everything else going on around them.
