I recently received the Supernatural: The Complete Series box set (review). When I opened the box I was surprised to find a cold pack inside the big brown box, then I discovered a sweet surprise, Warner Bros. had included a box of “Supernatural” themed chocolates from Valerie Confections. If you knew me, you would know that I have a major sweet tooth. Needless to say, I was thrilled. As I slipped off the gold bow off of the white box and opened the top I discovered brown tissue paper sealed with a logo sticker. Then, I carefully opened it to find the coolest chocolates with a “Supernatural” theme. Of course, I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t taste them all (I love my job). In all, there were eighteen chocolates. There were two types. One type was square and had a crisp, smooth chocolate shell with a flavored chewy toffee inside. The other had a chocolate shell that

One of my favorite things is opening my door to find boxes, so when I heard a knock at my door Monday I came out to find a big heavy box I was thrilled. I cut the tape and open the top and found bunches of paper stuffing. As I began digging I was excited to find my new “Supernatural: The Complete Series” Blu-ray/DVD box set. Let me tell you about it. This incredible, moving, action-packed series stars Jared Padalecki as Sam and Jensen Ackles as Dean, the Winchester brothers. Created by Eric Kripke the hit series has spanned fifteen seasons. While it is a horror series, “Supernatural” is at its heart about family. Brothers Sam and Dean Winchester, since day one, have always been on a mission to rid the world of dangerous monsters, but along the way, they have formed their own unique family while trying to save the world and each other from all types of monsters,

Simon Barrett takes us to haunted boarding school in his new horror film Seance. As usual with horror movies, there are only three ways it can go, bad, meh, and awesome. Luckily, I can now tell you that Seance is the latter of the three. First off, Seance doesn’t waste any time getting right into the spooky stuff, with a group of girls staring into the bathroom mirror, calling on the legendary school ghost, after learning it’s a prank all hell breaks loose and one girl is dead. When the new girl shows up, played by Suki Waterhouse (The Bad Batch, Assassination Nation), everything begins to unravel as the girls continue turning up dead. The question is, is it or ghost killing off the girls or is it something/someone more alive? Don’t worry, I’m not going to spoil it for you. I wouldn’t do that to you. Seance is a movie you’re actually going to want to watch for yourself.
