HLC - "Dexter" the worst best show ever

1/21/2022
I recently finished the "Dexter" reboot "New Blood" about a week ago and I wanted to talk about Dexter's eight-year-long run and review the earlier seasons, give my impressions and talk about how the show failed to deliver in the later seasons. I also do a full review of "New Blood" and give an extensive run down on the imaginary eight season I would have preferred "The People Versus Dexter Morgan." Enjoy!

HLC - I completely rewrite "The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It"

6/25/2021
A super duuuuuper long episode of the Horror and Lit Club in which I ramble at length about home repairs, Castlevania, my take on the new pride flag, and in which I deliver a roughly two-hour-long script revision of the new Conjuring movie from James Wan. I say that the Conjuring is a Blumhouse feature a bunch of times during this, which is incorrect, but it's so like a Blumhouse movie I decided to forgive myself. Just letting you know ;) The script doctor is the last like two hours or so...

SiT Chapter 18 - The Painting

6/18/2021
Ash has proven to herself beyond a shadow of a doubt that anywhere she exists, if Mike’s there, she can — and will — kill him. He’s no longer a stain in her heart, but there are other problems. She’s trapped in Ashley Colon’s version of reality with no way out, and even if she had one, it wouldn’t fix what was wrong with Gun Cotton. With little else in the way of options, she reaches out to the one person she knows might be able to help. It’s clear that the events Ash’s presence in Gun...

SiT Chapter 17 - The Clinic

6/4/2021
It’s clear that the events Ash’s presence in Gun Cotton has set into motion haven’t been slowed in the least by her return to her own time. After a lifetime of letting herself be slowed, sidelined, and stalled, she’s ready to break through into the shadowed history of her house’s basement. What she finds on the other side of the rough will be the beginning of the end of the life she’s known for thirty years. But knowing she has to face it, and wanting to, will make all the...

SiT Chapter 16 - The Return

5/21/2021
Ash’s desperate gambit in the Doctor’s hidden clinic has paid off, returning her home as though from a dream. Faced with the revelations of the clinic, many questions have been answered, but many still more remain. Ash finds that Gun Cotton has taken a turn for the worse while she’s been gone. If she was really gone at all. In any case, it’s readily apparent that her work isn’t yet done, and this moment of happiness might be little more than a brief reprieve. Support us on Patreon:...

The Doctor’s threats, and his condition, make it all too clear that Ash’s time in the Starling household is rapidly coming to a close. Doped on morphine and left to fend for herself, she’s swept up into the arms of a girl with the same name as long ago student, Coraline. And bearing the same ethereal glow as her golden ghost. With the clock set against her, Ash will be forced to delve into the house’s most awful secrets, or risk becoming one of them. Support us at...

SiT Chapter Fourteen - The Sickness

4/16/2021
Ash realizes she’s stuck in this iteration of the house once she finds the house doesn’t even have the garret she’s been looking for. Gone too is the typewriter, though she can still hear it faintly. She adapts to her new job as a housemaid while trying to figure out a way home and the meaning behind that other her's urging to "find the Medusa. Find the Artist.” It’s painfully clear, however, that the doctor’s own tenuous grip on sanity is rapidly slipping, and she might run out of time...
