35 Years: A Look Into the "Chucky" Franchise
Today is an epic anniversary in the horror genre: 35 years ago today, Child's Play was released in theaters. This film was basically released on a wing an a prayer; little did anyone involved know that a film centering on a doll possessed by a serial killer would become this big time phenomenon that spawned six sequels, a reboot film, and a TV series that is still running now. Absolutely legendary!

Faustiversary
"Sign here, here, and initial here." Lindsay Edwards was involved in the final stages of what was introduced to her as a lucrative business deal, and at a young age. She's only 25 years of age, but she's had the goal of being a high-level influencer since junior high. When Lindsay first met with Lucinda Ferrell, the woman who presented the opportunity and the contract that Lindsay was signing, the young influencer saw it all as an offer she couldn't refuse.

Avalanche Game 8 Recap: Shuffle Off to Buffalo
As the saying goes, "You can't win 'em all," and the Colorado Avalanche found that out in Pittsburgh when the team was blanked by the Pittsburgh Penguins. The loss snapped a 15-game road winning streak, but even so, the Avalanche entered their latest contest already at 4-1 away from Ball Arena. The three-game East Coast swing concluded in Buffalo, as the Avs were facing off against the Sabres. The Sabres are expected to end their league-long playoff drought this season, but they are off to a shaky start. As for Colorado, they're looking to rebound off their first loss of the season.

History of the NFL Playoffs (Part II: The AFL and the Super Bowl - 1960s)
For the first 40 seasons of the National Football League's existence, the league stood as the primary source of pro football, with the league's standings determining which team is crowned as the NFL Champions for the first 13 seasons (1920-1932). The 1932 season ended with a tie atop the league standings between the Chicago Bears and the Portsmouth Spartans, leading to the two teams facing each other in a playoff game for the NFL Championship. The success of that game led to the NFL Championship Game being instilled on the following year, and from that point, the game was played between winners of the East and West Divisions (later the Eastern and Western Conferences).

Villainess Review: Ashley Fallon (Charmed)
Hard to believe that the original Charmed series is celebrating 25 years this month. I remember seeing the first promo for the series, which aired on The WB for eight seasons between 1998 and 2006. Originally, the series starred Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, and Alyssa Milano as a trio of sisters who discover that they come from a family of wiccans. The series was the last great brainchild of the iconic Aaron Spelling, and regarding the three stars, Doherty played the eldest sister, Prudence "Prue" Halliwell, Combs played middle sister Piper Halliwell, and Milano portrayed the youngest sister, Phoebe Halliwell.

Reviewing VC Andrews' Dawn (Part 1: "Dawn")
So this year, Lifetime is returning to the VC Andrews pool with their adaptation of the legendary author's Dawn series. As we all know, Andrews' most known work was, of course, Flowers in the Attic, and we've seen Lifetime air not only that adaptation, but the prequel series as well. I'm somewhat familiar with Andrews' work, though I've never read the books. I have watched the films, though, especially the Ruby series, which I absolutely loved!

Thank You, Willie O'Ree. Top Story - February 2023.
Funny story; a fear I had when watching hockey as a kid was that I wouldn't be able to find the puck, hence why I was grateful to the NHL on FOX for giving us the glow puck. I never thought I'd be into hockey as much as I am now. And no, it wasn't because I'm Black. Mainly, it was because I didn't have cable as a kid. Basketball, baseball, and football were available daily without cable, but hockey really wasn't. I followed everything via the sports section and only watched the All-Star Game because it was on a non-cable channel. When I got cable in 1997, I watched more hockey...way more.

Villainess Review: Anna Ivers & Mildred Kemp (The Uninvited)
I remember actually seeing The Uninvited at the big screen, doing so on the very weekend that it came out. The film was released on January 30, 2009; I saw it the day after (January 31), and I remember that date because a) it was three weeks after The Unborn (a horror film) was released, b) it was one week before The Pink Panther 2 (which featured a very amazing villainess) was released, and c) it was Super Bowl Weekend--I saw this film one day before watching the Pittsburgh Steelers win Super Bowl XLIII.

Villainess Review: Dr. Sepi Chamanara (Elementary)
I've been a diehard fan of the CBS series, Elementary, since the beginning; having watched all seven seasons religiously. I really loved the modern take on Sherlock Holmes, and it has immensely pleased me as a fan of villainesses. Season Six, IMO, had some of the best female baddies, with one example being shown in the season's 17th episode, "The Worms Crawl In, The Worms Crawl Out."

Top 3 Female Killers Who Should Have a Lifetime Film
Lifetime has featured some compelling true crime films as of late, mostly centering on notorious real life female killers. In February 2020, Lifetime released a film about Stacey Castor, fittingly titled, Poison Love: The Stacey Castor Story, starring Nia Vardalos as the titular murderess. Stacey Castor murdered both of her husbands via antifreeze poisoning, and in 2007, she even resorted to attempting to poison her own daughter, Ashley Wallace, and framing her for the murders of her father and her stepfather. Ashley survived the attempt, and Stacey was arrested and later convicted of the murder of her second husband and the attempt on Ashley. She was sentenced to serve 51 years in prison, though Stacey died in prison in 2016.
