For my 2018 Resolution Project, I decided to take a page out of Lane’s book and do my own Silver Screen Resolution (hence the Take Two part of the title). There are a lot of movies out there I haven’t seen but feel like I should have, or movies that I’ve simply wanted to see and have yet to get…

With Halloween around the corner, I thought it was fitting to pay homage to the children’s series that started my love for horror: Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz.
