Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping another edition of Lights, Camera, Albums into the ol’ VCR. 

In today’s edition of Lights, Camera, Albums, we’re going to cover Billie Eilish’s sophomore album, Happier Than Ever. This album is unique in that it shows Billie is wise beyond her years, however, it’s worth the reminder that she’s still only 21. I know that some of the movies I chose are erotic thrillers, but I would like to point out that I based my decisions on the lyrics, not ANYTHING to do with Billie herself. 

I’ll spare you all a soapbox today, but I have a lot to say about how Billie Eilish has been treated by the media, and would like to remind all of you again that she’s 21-years-old because I think some of you need to be reminded. I digress. 

If you’re new here, Lights, Camera, Albums is a series where I pair each song on an album with a movie. Sometimes, it’s obvious. Other times, I have to over explain myself into oblivion, and you still need to tilt your head and squint. Fun! 

I also made the decision to forego pictures on this one because some of the movies are heavier/have more intense subject matter, and it didn’t feel right to throw images with silly captions into this one. 

Without further ado, let’s jump into Lights, Camera, Albums: Billie Eilish’s Happier Than Ever 

“Getting Older” as Almost Famous 

I see “Getting Older” as being sung from Penny Lane’s perspective. She continues to follow Stillwater and other bands as she gets older and isn’t treated well. Two of the last lines really solidify this pairing for me: 

“But next week, I hope I’m somewhere laughing

For anybody asking, I promise I’ll be fine” 

“I Didn’t Change My Number” as Scream 

I have to admit that this pairing is a little tongue in cheek. Ghostface’s (literal) calling card is the phone, and I could definitely see Sidney belting this out at the end of the movie when she fights off Billy and Stu. 

“Billie Bossa Nova” as Fatal Attraction 

One night changes Dan Gallagher’s (Michael Douglas) life, as well as Alex Forrest’s (Glenn Close). Each seems to have a different impression of what their rendezvous meant, and I think this song represents Alex’s vantage point. She believes this to be the beginning of a relationship, albeit an unhealthy one, and “Billie Bossa Nova” is Alex explaining her actions to Dan. 

“my future”  as Love Actually

If this song had come out in 2003, I can guarantee you that it would’ve been on the Love Actually soundtrack. It gives the same tonal vibe as Kelly Clarkson’s “The Trouble With Love Is,” as well as other songs we hear throughout the movie. 

Out of all of the characters in Love Actually, I think this song is perfect for the Mark and Juliet arc. Mark knows nothing can come out of his feelings for Juliet, but he has to confess them to her to move on, which is the main message of the song. 

“Oxytocin” as Basic Instinct 

I’m going to be really honest and admit this was the hardest pairing for me. I knew I wanted something with a little sleaze and sensuality to it, but nothing felt quite right. Then, it hit me. I needed Verhoeven. And no, this isn’t the only time Verhoeven will pop up in this piece. 

The intense sound and vibe of this song matches a lot of the themes within Basic Instinct. From THE famous scene to the scenes in the nightclub, I just think this song encapsulates this erotic thriller. 

“GOLDWING” as Dracula 

I almost see this song as a warning from Renfield to Mina about what’s to come. If she does accept the vampiric life that Dracula is trying to seduce her into, she’s going to be torn apart, and once Dracula is bored with her, there will be another girl for him to sink his teeth into. 

“Lost Cause” as Showgirls 

Verhoeven strikes again! I think this song works in several different ways. I think Nomi could sing it to Crystal, Zack could sing it to Nomi, Molly could sing it to Nomi, you name it. At the end of the day, almost everyone in this movie is a horrible person, so you can Choose Your Own Adventure. 

“Halley’s Comet” as Only Lovers Left Alive 

Adam and Eve might be betrothed, but they rarely come together. Their love has spanned centuries, but they have different philosophies. Adam and Eve’s relationship is complex, to say the least, but they still have a love for each other, and “Halley’s Comet” illustrates this complicated romance. 

“Not My Responsibility” as Dumplin’ 

I know this is more prose, but it’s on the album, so we’re covering it. When I listened to “Not My Responsibility,” I thought of Dumplin’. Willowdean (Danielle Macdonald) tries to challenge societal body standards throughout the film much like Billie does in this piece. I know Dumplin’ is a little more lighthearted at times, but the message remains the same — women need to stop being held to impossible body standards. 

“OverHeated” as The Devil Wears Prada 

I see Andi (Anne Hathaway) singing “OverHeated” as she becomes immersed in the world of Runway. She becomes more interested in fashion, has a fling with Christian (Simon Baker), and manages to both lose and find herself in the process. 

“Everybody Dies” as Tuck Everlasting 

If you aren’t familiar with the story of Tuck Everlasting*, the Tucks are a family who have discovered the secret to immortality. Jesse (Jonathan Jackson) falls for Winnie (Alexis Bledel) and leaves her with the choice on whether or not to drink from the same spring. After traveling back to town decades later, Jesse learns Winnie lived a full and happy life but ultimately chose morality. I picked these two to go together because of these two lyrics in particular: 

“I just wonder why you’d wanna stay

If everybody goes”

*Note: Tuck Everlasting was a novel first, and this is actually the second film adaptation. It’s just the one I saw first.” 

“Your Power” as An Education 

This one is really heavy, but it was one of the first pairings I made. Billie sings about someone older abusing their power by having a relationship with someone much younger, much like the one between Jenny (Carey Mulligan) and David (Peter Sarsgaard). 

“NDA” as Perfect Blue

I’m embarrassed to admit I only watched Perfect Blue recently, but I think it matches the tone of “NDA.” Mima (voiced by Junko Iwao) is so exposed to the public and has been molded into this perfect image that when she does anything to the contrary, the public is shocked, including her stalker. 

“Therefore I Am” as Bottoms 

So this one is more about a matching vibe than an actual storyline connection. Bottoms is all about female empowerment, particularly queer female empowerment, while taking down satirical male characters like Jeff (Nicholas Galitzine). The vibe of “Therefore I Am” matches PJ (Rachel Sennott) and Josie’s (Ayo Edebiri) attitudes towards the toxic masculinity within their school. Plus, I just really loved Bottoms. 

“Happier Than Ever” as 10 Things I Hate About You 

Like “Brutal,” this movie has become synonymous with Do Revenge for me. However, I used Do Revenge in the LCA for Olivia Rodrigo’s SOUR. The good news is, 10 Things I Hate About You was still available, and I think “Happier Than Ever” pairs nicely with it. Kat (Julia Stiles) could sing this to Patrick (Heath Ledger) after she finds out about the bet because they went all over the city together.  

“Male Fantasy” as American Beauty 

Oftentimes, women are only viewed through the male gaze and are expected to behave a certain way that fits into the image of perfection the viewer has created, much like how Angela (Mena Suvari) is seen by Lester (Kevin Spacey, unfortunately). American Beauty is a particularly icky manifestation of this idea, but the message remains the same. Women, especially GIRLS, don’t exist simply for male pleasure, and in the case of GIRLS, shouldn’t at all.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my favorite concept albums into the ol’ VCR. 

When done well, a concept album is truly brilliant. It’s essentially a musical without the visuals, or like with Childish Gambino’s Because the Internet or Janelle Monáe’s Dirty Computer, we have a video component to align with the album itself. 

I was watching the episode of The Broski Report where Brittany Broski took a deep dive into Ethel Cain’s album, Preacher’s Daughter, and I was enamored. To be perfectly honest, I had only heard about Ethel Cain’s album in passing, and I’m ashamed that I hadn’t taken the time to research it until the podcast. 

Video Source: BroskiReport

Preacher’s Daughter tells the extremely tragic tale of a young girl who is constantly abused and mistreated at the hands of the men around her. She believes she’s found peace in the arms of her lover, only to later die at his hands. It’s beautiful and horrible and everything in-between, and if you haven’t listened yet, I’d highly recommend it. 

After researching Preacher’s Daughter, I started to think about some of my other favorite concept albums and how underappreciated concept albums can be. That’s why I want to highlight a few of my favorites, so that you can listen and overanalyze right along with me. 

As with every one of these lists, my disclaimer is this — I can’t possibly list every single concept album of all time, including all the ones I love. There will be some I miss because I’m human, or I haven’t listened to them, or I just overlooked them, like I did Preacher’s Daughter. Just roll with it. 

Video Source: Ethel Cain

Additionally, I know that some of these might not be as carefully calculated as others, but they’re concept albums all the same. Again, just roll with it. 

Without any further ado, here are some of my favorite concept albums of all time: 

• Childish Gambino – Because the Internet 
• Janelle Monáe – Dirty Computer (and all of her other albums, honestly) 
• Green Day – American Idiot 
• David Bowie – The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars 
• My Chemical Romance – Welcome to the Black Parade 
• The Mountain Goats – Bleed Out (even though you could technically argue all of their albums are concept albums) 
• Pink Floyd – The Wall 
• Kendrick Lamar – DAMN. and good kid, m.A.A.d city 
• Prince and the Revolution – Purple Rain 

Honorable mention 

I feel like Ghost deserves some love here. The band itself is a concept, and they’ve created so many characters and so much lore that Ghost’s entire existence could be construed as a concept. They also put on a hell of a live show.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Rankin/Bass Christmas specials into the ol’ VCR. 

Note: Okay, friends, I somehow took a piece about the Rankin/Bass Christmas specials and made it about my dead mom, so, uh, that’s where we are. 

Friends, I feel like you’re a part of my family now. You know my annual watches. You’ll soon learn some of my holiday traditions. We endured the FFS together. The works. 

That’s why I feel like you’ll understand the love my actual family has of the Rankin/Bass Christmas specials. 

If you aren’t sure what I’m talking about, the Rankin/Bass Christmas specials include: 

• Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town 
• The Year Without a Santa Claus 
• Frosty the Snowman 
• The Little Drummer Boy 

KP put these in my stocking one Christmas, and I’ve been chasing that high ever since. 

You get the gist. 

They always play on Freeform’s 25 Days of Christmas (aka the artist formerly known as ABC Family). You basically can’t avoid them. 

However, they were staples in my house. We watched ALL of them throughout the entire holiday season, with our favorite being The Year Without A Santa Claus. 

I can quote these bad boys off the dome, and “It’s Gonna Snow Right Here In Dixie” lives rent free in my head. 

The Rankin/Bass Christmas specials hold such a special place in my heart. They remind me of KP making hot chocolate and canned french vanilla cappuccinos (IYKYK) while we all snuggled up on the couch with blankets. We’d turn on all of the Christmas lights, including the tree, so that the TV would cast a warm glow amongst all of the twinkling globes.

BRB, grabbing a tissue because I just made myself cry writing this. 

I was fortunate to have such a wonderful mother, so, as I get older, I find myself returning to many of the traditions of childhood. 

My childhood was, in no way, perfect, but KP made everything feel so magical and always made me feel so loved, even when other members of my family (daddy issues, party of one) didn’t. 

That included annual rewatches of the Rankin/Bass Christmas specials. We’d sing the songs and laugh and make fun of my sister for being Snow Miser (which, as we’ve gotten older, the roles have swapped, and she’s DEFINITELY Heat Miser). Watching these specials without her somehow feels wrong but also makes me feel closer to her. 

Video source: K A C E Y M U S G R A V E S 

Kacey gets it. 

Leave it to me to make a piece about Rankin/Bass Christmas specials somehow an anecdote for how it feels to lose a loved one. But damn it, we’re here now, so I’m going to ride this out. 

Whether you’ve recently lost a loved one, or it’s been years, this is your sign to do something to celebrate them this year. Watch a Christmas special that you watched together, get one of their favorite holiday treats, or just put an ornament on the tree for them. 

I’m going to watch The Year Without a Santa Claus, surrounded by my dogs and blankets, with a giant cup of hot chocolate, just like KP would want me to. 

Merry Christmas, Ma 🖤

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Wes Craven into the ol’ VCR. 

It should come as absolutely no surprise that I love Wes Craven (RIP). He directed one of my favorite horror franchises of all time. He wrote and directed the original Nightmare on Elm Street and New Nightmare. He also directed the original Hills Have Eyes, The Last House on the Left,  Swamp Thing, Deadly Friend, and The Serpent and the Rainbow, just to name a few. 

He’s a legend. 

One of the best cameos of all time. 

I actually met Wes Craven by accident at SXSW when he was invited to a premiere. He was super nice, and he didn’t want a bunch of fanfare around his entrance. I only got to speak to him for a few brief moments, but for me, it’s still one of my favorite little horror memories. 

I sincerely can’t tell you the first time I watched a Wes Craven movie, but I can tell you my first was either Scream or Nightmare on Elm Street. These flicks each shaped me in different ways. 

Scream established my love of meta commentary (which I know Kevin Williamson had a heavy hand in, and I don’t want to discredit that). Scream showed me it was possible to comment on horror tropes while still creating one hell of a horror franchise.

Nightmare on Elm Street, on the other hand, taught me about primal fear. How do you defeat a villain that lives within the dreamscape? Freddy Krueger is a literal nightmare, and we all have to sleep at some point. THAT’S horror, baby. 

One of Wes Craven’s biggest strengths was playing off the fear and trauma we all have internally when bringing films to life. In Scream, Sidney is betrayed by someone she loves. In Deadly Friend, Paul loses someone he loves to tragic circumstances. In The People Under the Stairs, there is so much familial trauma and classism to unpack that I don’t know where to start. 

He had a way of making movies that you could just watch straight or unpack if you wanted to. *Cue the cold open to Scream (2022)*

For fear of going on a tangent or just waxing poetically, we’ll end it here. 

RIP, Wes. 🖤

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the cultural impact of Scooby-Doo into the ol’ VCR. 

Friends, one of the best things about running your own pop culture blog is that you can talk about whatever you want, within reason. Keep this in mind as I intro today’s topic. 

Scooby-Doo and the rest of the gang are en vogue. Wet n Wild released a Scooby-Doo collection back in October, we saw the successful (albeit controversial) release of Velma earlier this year, you name it. 

The answer to “Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?” is EVERYWHERE. 

I was fortunate enough to not only grow up watching reruns of the original cartoon, but I was blessed with hits like A Pup Named Scooby-Doo and What’s New, Scooby-Doo (complete with its bitchin’ Simple Plan theme song), as well as all of the movies like Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island and Scooby-Doo and the Witch’s Ghost. And, most importantly, and I’ll save you the soapbox, The Scooby-Doo Project, which I’ll never, ever stop talking about. 

Video Source:SimplePlanLyrics 

Scooby-Doo has never really gone anywhere, but the past couple of years, you gotta admit that Scooby and Co have seen a massive resurgence. They even have their own dedicated section in Spirit Halloween, so you know they’re legit. 

I also want to give some love to Eagan Tilghman’s short, “Scooby Doo, Where Are You? In… SPRINGTRAPPED!” I know he’s received a little hate for using AI voices, and as much as I, as a writer, hate AI, ChatGPT, etc…, I think the hate he’s receiving is a bit ridiculous.  

This is a fan-made short made by a creator who didn’t have the funds to hire voice actors and pay them what they should be paid. This isn’t a major studio, nor is this a wealthy individual who could’ve hired voice actors and chose to use AI instead. I think this short is incredible and worth the watch.

Much like The Brady Bunch, Scooby-Doo has become a timeless cultural figure who is almost universally recognizable. Scooby and the gang continue to transcend time, thanks to us meddling kids.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies blog. Today, we’re popping my favorite film adaptations of A Christmas Carol into the ol’ VCR. 

We all know the story behind A Christmas Carol. 

A rich a-hole gets visited by ghosts that essentially say, “Bro, stop,” and he awakes on Christmas morning as a new man. 

P.S. Ghosts, if you’re looking for some new blood, I can definitely give you names of some peeps who need to be haunted 👀

I digress. 

Dickens was paid by the word, and no offense to those who prefer the novel, but I think it’s a rare exception where the film adaptations help keep Dickens in check. 

There are countless adaptations of A Christmas Carol, from traditional adaptations to modern interpretations, making it hard to choose which ones you should watch. 

That’s where I come in. 

I’ve seen more than my fair share of adaptations over the years, including a fabulous one from last year, and I definitely have opinions. I’ll be the first to admit that some of these aren’t cinematic gold, but they’re fun, and movies don’t always need a deeper meaning. 

Now that you’re in the spirit, here are my top five adaptations of A Christmas Carol: 

• Spirited 
• Scrooge (1970) 
• Christmas Cupid 
• A Carol Christmas 
• The Muppet Christmas Carol 

Bah Humblog.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping another edition of Lights, Camera, Albums into the ol’ VCR. 

In today’s edition of Lights, Camera, Albums, we’re going to cover an artist I’ve loved since her Disney Channel days, Miley Cyrus. Specifically, we’re going to cover Miley’s most recent album, Endless Summer Vacation. 

And don’t worry, I already have plans to cover both Bangerz and Plastic Hearts, so this won’t be the last time we hear (literally) from Miley. 

If you’ve missed the other Lights, Camera, Albums, I got you. We’ve done pieces for both Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo, so you can get an idea of what you’re in for. 

Without further ado, let’s dive into today’s Lights, Camera, Albums. 

“Flowers”/”Flowers” (Demo) – The First Wives Club

This was an easy pairing for me. The First Wives Club chronicles the journey of three women (Diane Keaton, Bette Midler, and Goldie Hawn) who come together after the tragic death of their other college best friend (Stockard Channing). Throughout the movie, they regain their independence and begin to rebuild their lives after being left by their husbands. I see “Flowers” being sung from Annie’s (Diane Keaton) perspective because she has the biggest character growth. 

“Jaded” – The Holiday

The Holiday is one of my favorite rom coms of all time. I watch it multiple times throughout the holiday season. As I was listening to and studying the lyrics of “Jaded,” I couldn’t help but think about Iris (Kate Winslet) and Jasper’s (Rufus Sewell) relationship. It’s obvious how amazing Iris is and how poor Jasper treats her, including letting her be blindsided by his engagement. When Iris finally understands her worth, she kicks Jasper to the curb. Jasper had a wonderful woman in front of him, and he completely screwed it up. She “could’ve taken [him] places.” 

“Rose Colored Lenses” – The Great Gatsby (2013) 

I know that living in excess is part of the 20s, but I chose to focus on Baz Luhrman’s The Great Gatsby because no one does excess like Baz. I digress. Daisy and Gatsby know on a practical level that their love won’t last, but they’re going to keep the “Rose Colored Lenses” for as long as possible. 

Man, what a Promising Young Woman. 

“Used To Be Young” – Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood 

I can’t think of a better representation of “Used To Be Young” than Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. The entire story is told in flashbacks from when the Ya-Yas (Ellen Burstyn, Fionnula Flanagan, Shirley Knight, and Maggie Smith) were young, and it shows them as they move from carefree young women to mothers while not hiding all of the struggles along the way. 

“Thousand Miles (feat. Brandi Carlile)” – Burlesque 

Christina Aguilera’s Ali seems to have had a difficult past but is trying to create a solid foundation for her future. She falls for Cam Gigandet’s Jack, gets a gig at a burlesque club owned by Cher’s Tess, and she finally starts to get her feet on solid ground. She may have traveled a “Thousand Miles,” but she’s finally starting to let go of the past. 

“You” – Practical Magic

I really like these two together. In Practical Magic, Gillian views love as an intoxicating and chaotic force, while Sally wants stability and connection. I think “You” does a good job of capturing both of their perspectives. 

Which era of Taylor Swift is this?

“Handstand” – American Pie

I have no idea how the physics within this song work, so it’s impossible to find an exact match, and I think it needs a silly movie with an iconic sex (?) scene. Additionally, the only other idea I had was to pair this with Bring It On and continue on with my Missy and Torrance fan fiction. 

“River” – Friends with Benefits

We all know what this song is about, so I chose a movie that revolves around sex. Friends With Benefits is a rom com, but it starts out with two people just looking to get their freak on. However, they eventually do become a couple, so it works with all of the lines about children as well. 

Note: I don’t condone an ounce of Mila Kunis’s recent actions and think the letter she wrote was truly heinous. We fully support the victims here on the B Movies Blog. 

“Violet Chemistry” – Ava’s Possessions 

For some reason, this was the easiest connection for me. I think “Violet Chemistry” works on two levels: with Ava and her demon, and between Ava and Hazel. Hazel (Annabelle Dexter-Jones) wants to keep her demon around, and she attempts to show Ava (Louisa Krause) the benefits of possession. On the flip side, Ava and her demon are interconnected now, so it’s all about the dance they do. 

This is exactly how I look when I think of a new idea for the blog, and Elliott also likes it. 

“Muddy Feet (feat. Sia)” – John Tucker Must Die 

I know “Muddy Feet (feat. Sia)” is a lot more intense than John Tucker Must Die, but they both have two common threads: infidelity and revenge. The only thing missing in the song is the thong, but I do believe that bit has already been taken by Sisqo. 

“Wildcard” – Pretty Woman 

I like to think that “Wildcard” would be the song Vivian (Julia Robers) sings to Edward (Richard Gere) towards the beginning of the movie when they’re starting to fall for each other, but neither can fully commit. Because, y’know, it’s a rom com, and we have to have our ebbs and flows to get the big payoff. 

“Island” – Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again 

First and foremost, this movie made me BAWL MY EYES OUT when I watched it on a date one time, and I haven’t been able to watch it for reasons I won’t mention here because y’all already know what I’m gonna say. Anyways. 

When I relistened to “Island” for this piece, I thought of Donna’s (Lily James) journey to Kalokairi and how devastated she is when Sam (Jeremy Irvine) leaves her to rejoin his fiancé. This island is becoming her home, but it now has memories of Sam, reflecting Miley’s sentiment. 

“Wonder Woman” – Barbie 

I know that “Wonder Woman” is about Miley Cyrus’s grandmother, but I think it’s a perfect representation of how many women feel. The line, “Never know she’s broken, only when she cries,” punches me in the gut every single time I listen, and it reminds me so much of America Ferrera’s speech from Barbie. Being a woman is so exhausting, and I think it’s easy to forget that we’re allowed to show emotions, let alone have them. 

Whenever we inevitably get Mamma Mi3, I really want Dolly Parton to play Cher’s sister.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some alternative Christmas hits into the ol’ VCR. 

Now, friends, you know I’m a spooky queen, through and through. However, I still fuck with Christmas. 

I put up trees (yes, multiple) and lights. I drink hot chocolate. I wear tacky sweaters. The works. 

However, I have two Christmas playlists: one that’s more traditional and one that’s more punk rock.

Christmas classics might be, well, classic, but I’m also a sucker for a Christmas song that breaks the mold, or a cover that takes the original song and gives it grit and grime. 

That being said, there is one Christmas song on this list that is arguably the best Christmas song of all time, and I won’t be taking any questions at this time. You’ll probably be able to guess what it is, but in case it isn’t obvious, the outlier is “Last Christmas.” 

I’ve sung this at birthday karaoke with my friend, Brooke, and my birthday is in August. Don’t mess with “Last Christmas.”

So, friends, grab your black lipstick and your favorite reindeer sweater, and enjoy these alternative Christmas covers and songs: 

• “Last Christmas” by Wham! 
• “It’s Gonna Be a Punk Rock Christmas” by Majorettes 
• “Sweet Christmas” by Shonen Knife
• “Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want to Fight Tonight)” by Ramones 
• “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by My Chemical Romance
• “Santa Baby” by Everclear 
• “Frosty the Snowman” by Fiona Apple 
• “December” by Regina Spektor 
• “Yule Shoot Your Eye Out” by Fall Out Boy 
• “So Much Wine” by Phoebe Bridgers

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some snowed in horror into the ol’ VCR. 

Now, friends, I don’t live in an area where it snows frequently, but I have been snowed in a couple of times in the past couple of years. 

I can’t imagine living in an area where inches or feet of snow are commonplace, and that’s why I only visit these places within the confines of my own living room. 

Snowed in horror is fun because it can go in several directions. You can take the supernatural route like Dead Snow, or keep the horror psychological like in some of our picks today; being confined or trapped in an area you’re unfamiliar with that’s cutoff from the outside world is terrifying enough. 

My social anxiety cropping up at the most inconvenient time

With the winter season in full swing, I wanted to give you all a few snowed in scaries to choose from, ranging from supernatural to paranormal to psychological. 

So grab your blanket and hot chocolate, and enjoy these frozen frights: 

The Shining: I’m a writer, but I’m not a “drag my family to a hotel and then succumb to my alcoholism and try to murder them” writer. 

The Thing: I love dogs too much, so I’d immediately be a goner. 

No Exit: This is why I always keep my headphones in when I’m in public settings. 

The Lodge: At least Kevin McCallister never gaslit a deprogrammed family member. 

Till Death: If I was handcuffed to Megan Fox, I wouldn’t be mad.  

More like Mac-Ready to fuck shit up, amirite?

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some creepy Christmas into the ol’ VCR. 

Now, friends, I know the holiday season is a time of pretty lights and wholesome Hallmark content. However, there’s a dark side to all things holly and jolly. 

That’s where holiday horror comes in. 

Holiday horror is fun because it subverts our expectations of the traditional, heart-warming holiday movie. Instead, we’re met with the likes of deranged Santas, murderous housewives, and centuries-old entities that drag naughty kids back to Hell. 

Tis the season. 

Get this guy some eggnog.

Listen, I put up my Christmas tree and swear at string lights that aren’t twinkling properly just like everyone else. I drink hot chocolate and wear tacky sweaters. I even abide by my own set of holiday traditions. 

But, my creepy little heart yearns for the spooky 365 days a year, and I know that many of you share the same sentiment. 

That’s why I wanted to throw out a few of my favorite gingerbread gorefests. 

And don’t worry, if you’re like me and still need some ooey gooey Christmas cheese, we have a list for that, too. 

There’s no amount of pizza money that can take away her trauma. 

Without further ado, here are some of my favorite holiday horrors:

• Krampus: My sexuality is the way Adam Scott says “honey.” 
• A Christmas Horror Story: Xavier Thorpe’s origin story. 
• Better Watch Out: Home Alone, directed by Christopher Landon. 
• SIlent Nights 1 & 2: I think this needs to be updated for modern times, so the line should be “GARBAGE AND RECYCLING DAY!” 
• Christmas Bloody Christmas: If you told me this was based on Tickle Me Elmo, I would believe you.   
• “All Through The Night” – Tales From The Crypt: Santa Baby, don’t hurry down the chimney tonight.
