I don’t watch television often—if I do at all these days, I’m probably ill or sad and unable to read, and my quirky “comfort” default is to marathon Hannibal.

Yes, there’s a massive gap in recent films. I’ve been in and out of college the last decade, working overtime, or distracted by writing, painting, and photography.

I have a lot of catching up to do.

Fun facts:

Tapes or DVDs I actually wore out and broke growing up:

• Aliens
• Return of the Jedi
• Beetlejuice
• The Crow
• The People Under the Stairs
• The Nightmare Before Christmas
• the original It (with Tim Curry)

I started watching the Twilight Zone when I was 3. (When my mom caught me sneaking into the living room and realized I wasn’t scared, almost anything went as long as it had no sex scenes.)

My childhood TV show were:

• the Twilight Zone
• the Outer Limits
• Tales from the Dark Side
• Alfred Hitchcock Presents
• Tales from the Crypt

I often snuck downstairs to watch terrible midnight B horror films with everyone fell asleep. (I repeat, terrible 🤣 total waste of time except that this was how I discovered CARMILLA).

ALIENS came out when I was five.

I BEGGED to see it.

Obviously, that was a NO.

Undiagnosed autistic kid that found a new special interest that I was… I didn’t relent. I drove them CRAZY.

My parents screened it. Said absolutely NOT.

I continued.

My grandma (who I watched Alfred Hitchcock Presents with every weekend) said, “Let her watch it with all of us during the day this Saturday. She’ll insist we turn it off. Be prepared to sit up with her all night afterward.”

Five year old me, a foot from the screen throwing popcorn everywhere:

“COOOOOOOOL!!!!!”

When the Queen was revealed, I distinctly remember touching the screen and purring, “she’s BEAUTIFUL!”

After that… no restrictions. Clearly, I’d be fine.

I had the director’s cut version memorized by the time I was 7.

My mom and I had weekend horror marathons.

I was not allowed to pick out movies without her in the video store after I terrified the 20 year old clerk when I was 13 by telling him DEAD ALIVE was hilarious 😆

Last funny story:

As a sophomore in high school, my friends had a sleepover and rented THE EXORCIST

I was mini famous for falling asleep in the middle of the most famous scene, even with them all screaming around me 🤣

Good memories.
