Internet Oddities: Possibly In Michigan
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Possibly in Michigan into the ol’ VCR.
CWs/TWs: DV, violence against women, murder, and all like topics
Welcome back to Internet Oddities, a series here on B Movies where we talk about little internet mysteries and odds and ends that I enjoy!
The subject of today’s Internet Oddities is none other than Cecelia Condit’s musical horror short film, Possibly in Michigan.
If you’re not familiar with Possibly in Michigan, let me give you a quick primer:
Friends Janice and Sharon are stalked by a murderer/cannibal, Arthur, as they go about their day. However, the two might not be as helpless as their stalker thinks.
Oh yeah, the whole thing is also a musical.
Now, let’s break it down a bit further.
With me so far?
Okay? Okay.
Video source: ceceliacondit
Early on in the film, there’s a line about how Janice and Sharon are both attracted to violent men, which sets the tone for this short film and all of its symbolism.
After the two women evade Arthur at the mall, he shows up at Sharon’s home, and then materializes with a different mask each time he blinks closer to the house. Once he appears at the door, Sharon calls Janice, terrified.
When he eventually breaks in, Arthur doesn’t have a mask on, but rather presents himself as a stereotypically attractive man, aka, as he refers to himself in this moment, a “Prince Charming.”
Arthur and Sharon then kiss and become affectionate as he tells her that she can choose to be eaten immediately or he can cut off her limbs and eat them to prolong the process. Then, Sharon responds, “But love shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg.”
Janice shows up, kills Arthur, and the two proceed to pull off a more graphic (and sapphic) version of “Goodbye Earl” (I promise I’m not making light of a short film meant to symbolize violence against women, but it’s sincerely the best way I can think to describe this scene).
Possibly in Michigan represents violence against women and the predatory behavior of some men.
And, to be clear, men can also be the victim of stalking and DV. It’s just that this particular piece of work focuses on the violence against women perpetrated by men.
I think it could also be argued that Sharon and Janice love perfume and talking in sing song because that’s how women can be viewed by men—materialistic, delicate, etc…
Additionally, Arthur wearing a variety of masks and asking Sharon if she’d like to be eaten fast or slow is metaphorical for an abusive relationship.
As someone who grew up in a house with DV, I can tell you that abusers wear all kinds of figurative masks to isolate their victims and keep up outward appearances. Also, Arthur is saying he’s eating her for the sake of love.
This represents abusers stripping away and wearing down their victims, followed by love-bombing and/or saying the abuse they’re inflicting is in the name of “love.”
The last big thing I want to touch on is the ending of Possibly in Michigan because there are a couple of different interpretations.
The first is that Janice and Sharon are besties who fought back and are able to feel safe and secure in the wake of Arthur’s absence.
The second is that Janice and Sharon are lovers who fought back and are able to feel safe and secure in the wake of Arthur’s absence.
And honestly, I subscribe to the second. Here’s why:
Whenever Sharon is with Janice or talks about Janice, we see her lying on the ground with these beautiful flowers in her hair and surrounding her.
However, whenever a man is near, an image of a corpse is often superimposed over her face.
I think that Janice and Sharon are closeted and/or don’t realize that their feelings aren’t just platonic, and they can finally be together with Arthur gone.
But again, that’s strictly my opinion.
Possibly in Michigan is an avant-garde horror musical that I fear would eat as an Adult Swim Infomercial.
It might be creepy as hell, but it’s also extremely well done.
If the CWs/TWs I mentioned up top don’t bother you, I would recommend checking it out, as well as some of Cecelia Condit’s other work on her YouTube channel.
She also has one of the most badass channel descriptions I’ve ever read.
I digress.
In my humble opinion, there’s so much to dissect that I could spend hours talking about it.
But, most importantly, it’s an internet oddity.

It’s Mr. Crocket’s Horrifically-Delightful World, And We’re Living In It
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Brandon Espy’s Mr. Crocket into the ol’ VCR.
CW/TW: child ab*s*, drug ab*s*, extreme gore/violence, DV, and all like topics
Mr. Crocket has been on my radar for a hot minute.
It closed out Fantastic Fest, which is always a good sign, so I was counting down the days until it hit Hulu.
I watched it this morning, and I only have one thing to say:
Mr. Crocket is one of the best horror movies I’ve seen this year.
The practical effects and puppets are incredible.
Every single person in this cast gives an excellent performance.
There’s an excellent payoff.
TL;DR – all of my horror peeps need to see this movie, especially if you love the world of analog horror.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
For those not in the know, here’s a quick rundown:
Set in 1993, mysterious little libraries containing VHS copies of Mr. Crocket’s World begin popping up in front yards across a community. However, when children start disappearing, with only the mutilated bodies of their parents left behind, it becomes clear that a friend like Mr. Crocket can be more of an enemy.
Additionally, Mr. Crocket is based on Brandon Espy’s Bite Size Halloween horror short (also on Hulu) that, at least in my opinion, served as proof of concept for this film.
This movie is like if you blended analog horror with Nightmare on Elm Street and threw in a pitch of Candyman and a smidge of The Babadook in for good measure.
It does deal with the topics of child ab*s* and neglect, but it also tackles themes of grief and the stressors of adulthood.
I also LOVE the decision to make this a mixed-media film that blends analog horror with animation and practical effects. If you plan on making a film that implores all of these different mediums, take notes because THIS is how it’s done.
I don’t want to spoil Mr. Crocket for you too much because a) it sincerely just dropped today and b) I think it’s worth experiencing it for yourself.
It’s as if Freddy Krueger hosted Pee-wee’s Playhouse, and you deserve to see this unholy alliance yourself.
Additionally, I don’t really have any criticisms for this one.
The only thing I could even potentially touch is/are the contacts they use when Rhonda (Kristolyn Lloyd) mind melds with Mr. Crocket, but again, that would just be nitpicky, and I don’t really think that criticism is deserved.
I know that this movie isn’t analog horror, but I think it reaffirms what I say about YouTube being the future of horror because there are several analog horror series I could see being successful films if they were executed this same way.
Now, I’d also be remiss if I didn’t mention the CWs/TWs.
This movie does have scenes the depict child ab*s* and drug ab*s*, and they could definitely be triggering.
As someone who had an ab*s*v* father, I totally hear you and see you. That’s why I want to make sure you don’t take my CWs/TWs lightly. 🖤
If you’re a fan of the likes of analog horror series like Not Your Normal Kids Show or Mr. Samuel’s Tea Time or any of the movies I’ve mentioned throughout your piece, definitely give Mr. Crocket a go.

Horror Highlights: 24 Of My Favorite Horror Movies
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping 24 of my favorite horror movies into the ol’ VCR.
Okay, I’m running out of clever ways to say that it’s the most wonderful time of the year, so I’m just going to say that it’s the most wonderful time of the year.
We all know that I’m a spooky girlie, so I’m truly thriving this month.
I’ve decided that since I’m thriving, and haven’t made a favorites list in a long time, that I would share some of my absolute horror favorites with you.
And, with this being Halloween 2024, I’ve decided to give you 24 different movies.
It also gives me more leeway, but I digress.
I feel like most of these won’t be surprising, but hey, there might be some twists and turns along the way.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers.
Without further ado, and in no particular order, here are 24 of my favorite horror movies:
- Alien
- Pearl
- Get Out
- Demons
- Christine
- The Guest
- The Faculty
- Ginger Snaps
- Jennifer’s Body
- Scream (1996)
- Bride of Chucky
- Christine
- American Psycho

I also want to give an honorable mention to the Fear Street trilogy because I thought it would be cheating to put an entire trilogy, but I can’t pick a favorite.

Alluring Adaptations #3: Songs I’d Love To See As Horror Movies
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping songs I’d love to see as horror movies into the ol’ VCR.
Well, friends, we all know that it’s my favorite time of the year.
The air is electric. The pumpkins are plentiful. My sinuses are completely dried out because the weather where I live goes from chilly to scorching in a matter of hours.
Ah yes, it’s fall.
And, we can’t let another day of fall go by without another edition of Alluring Adaptations.
That’s right, we’re taking more songs that I think would make great horror movies and giving you a taste of how I picture the plot.
I love this series because I don’t tend to write a lot of fiction (hence why everyone on the internet usually knows what’s going on in my life at any given moment), but it’s really fun for me to dabble in that space.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions.
Without further ado, here are four songs I think would make excellent horror movies:
“Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)” by Kelly Clarkson
Amber is a slasher-obsessed 20-something who yearns for the days of the classic 80s horror movie. After a terrible breakup, Amber turns to her favorite genre for comfort. However, when a mysterious box of video tapes appears on her doorstep, Amber finds herself immersed in the world of the movies she loves. Hopping from subgenre to subgenre and through trope to trope, Amber must fight to become the final girl she was always meant to be before it’s too late.
Think Final Girls meets Happy Death Day but oozing with 80s slasher sleaze.
“The Way” by Fastball
Grace’s sister, Sophie, has been searching for Grace and her girlfriend for three years after they disappeared on a road trip. Rumors have swirled around town for decades about the specific stretch of road they went missing on, but Sophie always thought they were just that: rumors. But after catching a glimpse of who she swears to be Grace outside her window one night, Sophie realizes that the whispers around town about never getting old and gray might have some merit…and Grace’s road trip might not have been as random as she thought.

“Hung Up” by Madonna
Haley is sick of dating apps. They’ve swiped, messaged, and gone on failed date after failed date. All that changes when they come across Jess. Jess seems to be funny, smart, and everything Haley is looking for. There’s just one problem: Jess isn’t real—she’s the AI assistant built into the dating app. But when Haley finds themselves actually falling for a real person, Jess might be a bit more hung up on Haley than they realized.
Video source: Madonna
“Shut Up and Dance” by WALK THE MOON
Carter is a professional photographer known for capturing abandoned venues. After getting a tip from a colleague, he sets off to a dance hall to get pictures for his next installation. Much to Carter’s surprise, when he arrives, the dance hall appears to be open and fully-functional. There, he meets Angela, who he spends the night dancing with and talking to. The only weird thing is that anytime he asks Angela any probing questions, her only response is, “Shut up and dance.”
Whenever Carter tries to return to the dance hall the next day to try to get Angela’s number, he’s only left with more confusion as the building seems to be in a complete state of disrepair. However, when he returns that night to grab the lens he dropped, an all-too-familiar neon sign is glowing from the bar. As Carter falls harder and harder for Angela, he realizes this woman is his destiny, but he’s going to have to choose between the land of the living and the ghosts of the past.

“Congratulations. You Are Still Alive.”: A Spotlight On James Wan
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of James Wan into the ol’ VCR.
On February 26, 1977, James Wan was born in Malaysia.
When he was in elementary school, his family moved to Perth, Western Australia.
I couldn’t find a whole lot of information about James Wan’s early life outside of the fact that he went to Lake Tuggeranong College and then graduated from RMIT University.
Then, in 2004, James Wan and Leigh Whannel brought one of the most iconic horror movies of all time to the big screen: Saw. Additionally, he and Whannel would go on to executive produce all of the following sequels in the franchise, with James Wan also co-writing Saw III.
From there, James Wan would go on to direct, co-create, produce, and, simply, bring to life some of the best franchises and horror movies ever, including The Conjuring and Insidious franchises, and one of my personal recent favorites, Malignant—not to mention founding Atomic Monster.
And, lest we forget, James Wan also directed Furious 7 (but we’re not going to talk about his dalliances with Aquaman).
There’s not much more that I can say about James Wan that hasn’t already been said.
James, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤
Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite James Wan content*:
*Note: Similar to Jordan Peele’s spotlight, I’m pulling from all the content James Wan has been a part of, not just the content he’s directed.

Drawing A Blank #6: Even, Even, Even, Even, Even More Cartoons You May Have Forgotten About

Y’all already know that we couldn’t get through October without another edition of Drawing a Blank.
If this is your first time with this series, welcome!
To give you a quick TL;DR, Drawing a Blank is a little series where I curate a list of cartoons I watched as a kid that you may have forgotten about over the years.
And yes, I’m listening to all of the theme songs while writing this piece.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions.
Without further ado, here are 10 cult-classic cartoons that’ll make you wish you could burn a CD:

Salem’s Lot Is A Whole Lot Of Bad
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Salem’s Lot (2024) into the ol’ VCR.
Look…
I’m always going to be a bit of a harsh critic when it comes to film adaptations of Stephen King novels (I famously hate Doctor Sleep).
My criticism doubles for Salem’s Lot because it’s my favorite novel of his.
I went into Salem’s Lot with an open mind.
I was hoping that maybe, just maybe, it was stuck in development hell and didn’t get a theatrical release because of some red tape.
But deep down, I saw the writing on the wall. I knew that it probably wasn’t good and had been recut and reshot into oblivion.
And, unfortunately, my gut was right.
Before we get started, let me drop in one of my trademark disclaimers:
The great thing about movies is that we can discuss and debate them. Just because I think a movie is great doesn’t make it a good movie, and just because I think a movie is awful doesn’t make it a bad movie. Also, making a movie is extremely difficult and incredibly badass, and I don’t want to detract from the process.
Alrighty, let’s get into it.
Do I think this iteration of Salem’s Lot is unwatchable? Not necessarily.
But do I think the weird CGI choices, like the glowing crosses, and the weird performance choices, like Pilou Asbæk’s decision to play Straker as though he’s Nicholas Cage in Renfield, do it any favors? No, no I do not.
Additionally, to invoke one of my battle cries, they need to pick a lane.
There are times where Salem’s Lot swerves into comedy horror’s lane (which I don’t agree with), so I think we should’ve just stuck to a full-on horror approach. But, if they were going to go comedic, they should’ve fully committed.
As I mentioned earlier, it’s also obvious that this movie was poked and prodded, and I personally would love to see the original cut.
The pacing of this movie is also WILD.
I know that Salem’s Lot is around 439 pages long, so there were definitely going to be some cuts.
But to go from Ben Mears’s arrival to vamps in like 25 minutes is insane.
And, to invoke another one of my battle cries, I think this one would’ve worked better as a series.
I can’t help but think about how well Mike Flanagan’s Midnight Mass worked because he was able to build tension and let the vampirism slowly seep throughout the town.
I also think Mike Flanagan could’ve made one hell of a Salem’s Lot remake, but again, he already made Midnight Mass, and I don’t want people to think of him as a one-trick pony.
The 1979 miniseries adaptation of Salem’s Lot still reigns supreme for me, but I do think that if the source material was placed in the right hands it could be usurped one day.
But please don’t take that as an invitation to make another half-assed adaptation.
I don’t know if my little heart could take it…and I have a bad knee and don’t drive, so I couldn’t curl myself up in the trunk at the drive-in if Barlow turned me because my heart was giving out.

Hilarity Meets Horror: A Spotlight On Jordan Peele
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Jordan Peele into the ol’ VCR.
Like Samara Weaving’s spotlight, I don’t have a dramatic intro for you on this one, as it seems Jordan Peele doesn’t use a stage name.
Born on February 21, 1979, Jordan Peele was raised by his mother in Manhattan.
He allegedly loved movies from a young age and knew from the age of 12 that he wanted to become a director.
His education includes The Calhoun School and two years at Sarah Lawrence.
After leaving Sarah Lawrence, Jordan Peele would go on to perform at The Second City in Chicago, Boom Chicago in Amsterdam, and act as the host for MTV’s Comedy Weekend 2002.
In the early 2000s, Jordan Peele became a cast member on Mad TV, where he would go on to meet Keegan-Michael Key. The two regularly appeared in sketches together over the years, until Jordan Peele left Mad TV in 2008.
Jordan Peele appeared in movies and shows like Wanderlust and Children’s Hospital, and would then go on to star in Key & Peele with Keegan-Michael Key from 2012-2015 and the movie Keanu in 2016.
In 2017, Jordan Peele released his first horror film, Get Out, and the rest is history.
He’s gone on to direct Us and Nope, develop a reboot of The Twilight Zone, produce shows like Lovecraft Country, co-write and co-produce Candyman (2021), start Monkey Paw Productions, and much, much more.
There’s not much more that I can say about Jordan Peele that hasn’t already been said.
Jordan, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤
Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite Jordan Peele content*:
*Note: This list is going to be a little different than usual because Jordan Peele has produced, written, directed, and starred in so much content that I’m going to pull from everything he’s been involved with.
- Us
- Nope
- Get Out
- Candyman
- Key & Peele
- Monkey Man
- Wendell & Wild
- Lovecraft Country

No More Funny Business: Some of My Favorite Clown Horror Content
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping clown horror content into the ol’ VCR.
Clowns have never been a fear of mine.
I’m not down to clown by any means, but they don’t scare me.
They did bother my mom, though, so watching It (1990) in our house was always fun growing up.
I digress.
Video source: Artinistus
Okay, this commercial makes me understand coulrophobia a bit better
With the release of Terrifier 3 right around the corner, I thought it would be fun to throw out some other clown-centric horror content to keep you satisfied in the interim.
These recs range from camping classics to black comedies, so you’ll be laughing, crying, and everything in-between.
Also, for some reason, most of these movies are gory as hell, so I would HIGHLY recommend doing a little research before watching them.
When you put something silly on in the thrift store and wait for your friend to turn around
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions.
Without further ado, here are 10 clown-centric and clown-adjacent horror content that’ll make you never look at a balloon animal the same way ever again:

A Girl Can Stream #2: More Fake Streamer Movie Categories That Should Exist
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping more fictional streamer categories into the ol’ VCR.
If you happened to miss the first edition of A Girl Can Stream, here’s a quick recap.
TL;DR – In true Baillee fashion, I loved a joke so much that it’s stuck with me for years, and I wanted to replicate/expand upon it.
I’m going to give you some streamer categories that I made up as well as content that fits the bill.
That’s all you really need to know.
This is also one of those series that I probably think is way funnier than it actually is, but c’est la vie.
