The voice used enhanced the … Continue reading Response to Berenice and Last Respects →

Even though horror themed works are supposed to scare and thrill, they can stir up emotions deep inside you, under all of those scared emotions. After reading “Last Respects” from Tales from the Crypt I was sad that Anna died and that Tony, her husband, couldn’t go to his wife’s funeral and that he ended … Continue reading Don’t Get Too Emotional Now
