(un)Common Facts About Horror Movies
Horror movies have been popular for years. Everyone loves to be scared so long as they know it isn’t real. Something about it excites us as humans. And if you are in the horror fandom, there are certain things that you just know, that everyone knows. Maybe that fact is that Stephen King hated Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of The Shining. Or maybe that there are curses surrounding some movies like Poltergeist and The Exorcist.

Bad Girls Deserve Flowers Too
Sometimes the girls are plucky, innocent, hysterical victis of chance and fate as they escape certain death. Although sometimes the girls aren't the heroes, and instead the very thing you ought to run from. Saucy, lovely, nasty, never afraid to get down and dirty for their desires, and most unwilling to let a good deed go unpunished. Fiona Goode from American Horror Story, Amanda from SAW, Nancy from The Craft . . . the list can just go on. All women with a little damage, and a lot of repressed issues, who wear them as proudly as Chanel coats and velvet matte lipsticks.

What is Witchcraft?
Simply speaking, there are many forms of witchcraft. There is the light magic, and the dark. Light magic being love potions and similar things like protection spells, and dark magic being voudou and houdou or anything similar to it. While many believe there is no such thing, I assure you that witchcraft is real. There are many mistakes that beginner, or baby witches make in their journey through the many years of this lifestyle. One big mistake is always binding spells. Binding spells should not be done unless you know what you are doing. It is a spell you have to be very specific while performing. I've seen many witches make this mistake. Another mistake? Trusting witchtok. You know, the usual witches who post videos all over Tik Tok. Not all of the information from there is correct, considering a majority of baby witches on there got the bright idea to attempt a hex on the sun and moon (never do this, ever).

The Rise of the Shonen-Horror Genres
In the past few years, the horror genre has been quite successful in both the manga and anime world. Horror-tinged Shonen like Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, and Chainsaw Man has been all the rage. Wildly popular series like Bleach, which was focused on monster-hunting, didn’t rely on gore or spookiness in its storytelling. However, the recent Shonen Jump horror series have been paradigm-shifting as they are completely changing the manga world.
