I’m quite sad that Fright Fest has come to an end. I thoroughly enjoyed celebrating my favorite genres with you; I hope you did as well. Althought Fright Fest is over, my love of the horror & thriller genres continues, so stay tuned for a new feature on my blog, specifically spotlighting these genres!
