Easter Horror
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers As Easter is fast approaching (well, it’s happening in the next few days to be exact) I thought it would be an interesting idea to take a look at what Easter horror films are floating around out there and giving them the same treatment as those for Christmas. Please …
Strong Female Characters
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Truthfully, this article may have been the inspiration for this whole blog – it’s just taken a long time for me to write it.
