Shows on Hulu (That Aren't Ghost Adventures) to Spice up Your Paranormal Binge Session
Whether you’re here because you need your Halloween fix of horror, or you’re a year round connoisseur of the creepy, you were probably pulled in by the title. Hulu has officially cornered the market on paranormal investigation with their plethora of offerings in the genre. But even with all the shows in one place, it can be a daunting task to figure out which are actually worth your time. So instead of wasting your time, I wasted mine! I’ve compiled a list of different TV show offerings, all of which are sure to scare your socks off! And regarding the title, I have nothing against Ghost Adventures, but I think it’s safe to say that they’ve dominated the airwaves for long enough! It’s time to introduce some fresh favorites!

A Twin Peaks Halloween. Second Place in Costume Contest Challenge.
This Halloween I wanted my self portrait series to give homage to the one and only teenage troubled queen, Laura Palmer. I got into Twin Peaks about three years ago through a friend, who said I'd love it stylistically. (They were very right.) David Lynch, man. David Lynch. While I haven't seen many of his other works like Mulholland Drive or Blue Velvet (I know), I have recently watched Dune, which I loved, and which also stars the absolute baddie Kyle MacLachlan. But I mostly haven't gotten around to Lynch's other films because I've been so busy watching, and rewatching, Twin Peaks!

Despite My Best Efforts I still Hate the Walking Dead
I hate the Walking Dead. So if you love it and your curious why, read on. If you want to know why so you can convince me otherwise, find a new motivation. I just want something different from television. The most frustrating thing about The Walking Dead (T.W.D.) for me is the lack of a full story arch, followed by Rick just generally, closing that there is no sound decision maker.

“The Haunting of Bly Manor”: Too Many Ghosts, Too Little Horror
Beware, dear reader, as you forge ahead into this article! Beware… mostly of spoilers and not much else. The scares in this creepy tale are not that impressive for a hardened horror fan like me but it is still a pleasant watch.

The Occasional Spooking of Bly Manor
There will be a spoiler warning when I begin talking about spoilers. You know what's funny? I really liked The Haunting Of Hill House, and yet I can't remember a thing about it. For all its hidden ghosties and ghoulies, its twists and turns and time jumps, and its spooky foreshadowing of The Red Room, I cannot remember a single thing about the plot.

The Haunting of Bly Manor: (Netflix TV Show Review)
The loss of a loved one can make a person behave in ways they might not otherwise would if the person were still alive. Paranoia from superstition, in certain cases, can be common symptoms of grief, and grief can make a person behave in ways that defy logic and reason.

The Official Guide to Huluween
Hello Folks! I'm back at it with another list of spooky tv shows that I think will get you in the mood for Halloween...or, if you're like me, all year long. I'm going to be honest, there are WAY more tv shows on Huluween than Netflix. No tea, no shade, I love me some Netflix and this might be the other way around when I cover movies but I found so much good content when exploring Hulu.

The Haunting of Bly Manor (Netflix TV Show Review)
When one thinks of a haunting, a few things that typically come to mind are mist on a lake with a mansion in the background, or the sight of Norman Bates' big Victorian house with Norman standing at the top of the hill with a kitchen knife in his hand. Stephen Kings' "The Shining," a cursed hotel filled with the ghosts of people who died there, is also a great example.

100 Horror Movies in October: Update One
We're almost halfway through spooky month (although let's be honest it's 2020 so it's spooky year *laughs then cries*). I have seen many posts about the '31 days of horror' challenge which is fun but a few years ago I found what was basically that challenge on steroids: watch 100 horror movies in October. I've tried and failed several times before but now I know there's a horror community here on Vocal I thought I would document my failings for this year, and review the best and worst.
