As a serial expat, location-independent work is always on my mind.Through my traveling and living abroad, I've been lucky to connect with all sorts of people and learn about their passion projects. One that I've been following from the get-go is my friend Sarah's boutique jewelry business, Soul State of Mind Jewelry. If you know Sarah, you know that she loves jewelry! I can't count the number of times I've seen her wearing a beautiful new piece of jewelry and asked where she got it from. It's ...
Oh, this poor little post.I've sat down to write this maybe 10, maybe 20 times? Never got past the first sentence.I haven't posted anything, really, on my site since the beginning of February. Before that, I had couple posts in three or four months. I'd love to say I've been busy with my job, or traveling, or a new hobby - but the reality is none of that is true.What has been happening, though, is I've been struggling with my health.Since arriving in Japan, I haven't been feeling 100%. ...
My first stop on my surprise trip to Roatan last summer was Roatan Divers. Not only was I super excited to see the owners, my friends Saaya (who counts both Japan and America as home) and Karl (who hails from Sweden), but I had a big goodie bag stuffed full of Japanese treats for Saaya that I wanted to deliver! There's a long list of things that are difficult to get on Roatan, and stuff from Japan is (understandably) pretty high on that list.I've watched Roatan Divers for years. I first ...
When I went back to Roatan this past summer, there was one new place I was itching to dive at: Tobri Divers.During my time living on the island, this tiny south-side boutique dive resort was run by a German couple and was marketed almost exclusively to Europeans. I didn't know anyone who had worked there or had dove with them. It was almost completely off my radar.Fast forward to my trip in the summer of 2017, where my good friends Irma & Martijn had returned to the island and taken over ...

Norwegian horror film Cadaver takes place during the aftermath of a nuclear disaster, where a starving family -- played by Leonora (Gitte Witt), Jacob (Thomas Gullestad) and their daughter Alice (Tuva Olivia Remman) -- finds hope in a charismatic hotel owner Mathias (Thorbjorn Harr) who lures them to his unusual dinner theater who promises them shelter and food.
Attendees wear creepy gold masks to differentiate them from the actors who wander around the hotel acting out scenes that include both sex and violence. Soon it becomes apparent this isn't a typical dinner theater.
Bad Hair, a horror satire set in 1989, follows an ambitious young Black woman (Elle Lorraine) who gets a hair weave to succeed in the image-obsessed world of music television. However, her flourishing career comes at a great cost when she realizes her new hair may have a mind of its own. While this is a dark comedy, it also touches on serious themes like what it means to deny your own culture and roots to succeed in a superficial world.
Based on Clive Barker's horror anthology book series, Books of Blood follows three tales tangled together by one thread. A self-professed medium who channels the dead via bloody graffiti, a troubled traveler who is sensitive to noise and two criminals seeking payment from a bookseller all intersect into one complete tale of terror.
Spiral tells the story of gay couple Malik (Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman) and Aaron (Ari Cohen), who along with their 16-year-old daughter Kayla (Jennifer Laporte) move to a suburban small town in the mid-'90s to settle down and establish roots. At first, the neighbors seem welcoming, but soon disturbing things begin to happen.
Malik suspects it's all part of a larger plot to drive him and his family out of town, but there may be even something more sinister at play that threatens the lives of those he loves most. This movie is a creepy slow burn with an unexpected ending.
If you enjoyed Netflix series The Haunting of Hill House, you're in for a treat with The Haunting of Bly Manor. This Gothic romance-influenced ghost story is based on Henry James' stories The Turn of The Screw, The Romance Of Certain Old Clothes and The Jolly Corner.
The Haunting of Bly Manor follows the lives (and possibly deaths) of the inhabitants of the stately mansion. Dani Clayton (Victoria Pedretti) is a young American au pair hired to watch over the unusual young children -- brother Miles (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) and sister Flora (Amelie Smith) -- who live at Bly.
There's also housekeeper Hannah Grose (T'Nia Miller), house chef Owen (Rahul Kohli) and gardener Jamie (Amelia Eve). A mystery surrounds the deaths of the children's parents, as well as the previous governess Rebecca Jessel (Tahirah Sharif), who drowned in the nearby lake. And what about the mysterious Peter Quint (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) who keeps lurking in the shadows of Bly?
During a night of wild Saint Patrick's Day parties and drunken hijinks, three friends band together to save a college town from a vicious horde of body-switching aliens. This is more of a dark comedy than a seriously scary movie. But it's fun to see a horror film take place during a holiday usually reserved for celebrating green beer and leprechauns.
As part of the new Blumhouse horror movie series, Nocturne goes inside the halls of an elite music arts academy, where timid musician Juliet (Sydney Sweeney) wishes she could be more like her more accomplished and outgoing twin sister Vivian (Madison Iseman). When Juliet discovers a mysterious notebook belonging to a deceased classmate, she becomes obsessed with the scribblings and sheet music inside. Juliet starts to become more emboldened as she competes with her sister in both music and love -- with dangerous results.
In The Wretched, rebellious teen Ben (John-Paul Howard), who is struggling with his parent's imminent divorce, faces off with a 1,000-year-old witch living beneath the skin of the woman next door. No one will believe him when he claims the witch is out for blood and "feeds on the forgotten." So he takes matters into his own hands.
If you grew up watching horror films during the '90s then you know exactly who Joe Bob Briggs is. The comedic host of The Last Drive-In -- now on Shudder -- knows every tiny bit of behind-the-scenes trivia there is about movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre to Halloween.
With the sassy mail girl Darcy, Texan show host Joe Bob hosts regular horror movie marathons while revealing interesting tidbits about the actors, directors and special effects experts. He often goes on entertaining rants about the movie business and the horror film industry in general.
Italian horror film The Binding centers around Emma (Mia Maestro), who must fight the mysterious and malevolent curse intent on claiming her daughter Sofia (Giulia Patrignani) while visiting her fiance Francesco's (Riccardo Scamarcio) devout mother Teresa (Mariella Lo Sardo) in southern Italy. The movie pits the characters' modern lives and traditional values -- modern medicine versus herbal medicine, Emma's instinct versus Teresa's old world knowledge, etc. Fair warning: This the kind of horror movie you probably shouldn't watch while sitting next to your in-laws.
Encounters with mermaids, fallen angels, zombies and other strange beasts drive broken people to desperate acts in the horror anthology Monsterland, based on the collection of stories from Nathan Ballingrud's North American Lake Monsters.
