Prequels and Sequels

So, ladies and gents, friends and furries, yes, 13 Ghosts is the movie that haunted me as a child and to a point, still haunts me. I’ll never look at bathtubs the same.

We have another Sunday so therefor another movie article/review for you.

Looking in the Mirror
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Oct. 16, 2021
It's that turning point in your story.
Something grave has happened, and your main character is having to face a defining moment. A moment where they need to really look inside themselves, and weigh their options of who they are, who they want to be, and what it will ...
