Penny Dreadful: City of Angels
One of the best shows to date was inspired by the original horror comics. Penny Dreadful, or bloods, were cheap violent novels that were popular during the mid-to-late Victorian England. They were more or less eight pages per installment. During their time they were considered second rate and gory. Writer G.K. Chesterton was a avid defender of the up and coming genre. Chesterton argued that the novels were "the most moral part of the modern fiction." (https://www.britannica.com/art/penny-dreadful)

The Haunting
Did anyone else get shivers up their skin as they watched the popular TV show, You? If you have not seen this show, I suggest watching it, and then blowing your brains out with paranoia. The idea of You begins with a woman purchasing a book with a credit or debit card at a bookstore. Then, that innocent act tumbles out of proportions by a deranged man who thinks he is in love, but ends up destroying the girl's life. The chances of anyone having that happen to them are low. Like most people, I cannot name how many times I have used my card to pay for an item at the store. Until I saw You, I would of never second guessed the common act, or the act of giving out my name. I never realized what I could find out based on a name, until I began to proceed in some research.

ICYMI Challenge
The Stranger The Stranger is a thriller TV show on Quibi and it’s about a girl(Clare) who is an orbit driver in Los Angeles with her dog(Pebbles) they recently moved there from Kansas. Orbit is kind of like uber and picks up passengers. Clare is working one night and picks up a guy passenger(Carl E.) Unfortunately Clare realizes he’s not just an ordinary passenger, and soon realizes she might be in some deep trouble with a stalker. Clare goes to trials and tribulations to prove the truth about Carl E and why he is dangerous. Clare soon realizes Carl E is clever and is watching her every move, but the question is how? I was shocked when I saw the actor(Avan Jogia) play as JJ in this series. This made me want to watch the show even more. I like this TV series because it’s really short(9 min per episode) and it shows you the drastic measures people will go through to see you suffer. I would recommend “The Stranger” to anyone who likes intense thrillers, a little romance and drama.

Twin Peaks: visiting, revisiting
The scenery brings a surreal comfort, a nostalgia whose origins seems familiar yet unknown, like estranged towns, houses or people. There is a certain power that the Lynchian fieldwork holds: it captivates you, it comforts you and then discomforts you until you learn to switch between the two.

HBO Max & JJ Abrams to expand the story of 'The Shining' with Overlook Hotel series
When a beloved classic film is adapdated for TV, the first question is 'why?', usually followed by 'Why can't Hollywood leave classics alone? and 'Theres no originality anymore' and I'd usually agree but I think HBO Max and JJ Abrams could be onto a winner here.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Welcome to the Horror Show.'
I had long considered the use of Vinettes for horror after I was invited to review 15 Second Horror Movies on YouTube. For the most part they were pretty entertaining, so when I was asked to review another series of Vinettes (now called Toks as Vine has long since shut down to be replace by Tik Tok), I jumped on the chance.

Locke and Key Season 1 Review
Objective Critique Locke and Key is a decent show appropriate for mature children and teens with elements of fantasy and relationship drama that hearkens back to the late 90's and early 2000's. Three children, and their mom, move across the country to their father’s hometown only to discover that there was more to his old house than they were led to believe.
