Dream chaser extraordinaire! Judy tends to be a tad sarcastic and kind of goofy! She is an avid admirer of all things supernatural, paranormal, celestial and mystical. She loves to read, write, and watches way too much TV. She enjoys many genres of film and music (and let's be honest, most music from the 80s). She also has a wicked sweet tooth. Cupcakes beware.

Seventh Circle of Hell. Retrospective: Sleepy Hollow – “The Lesser Key of Solomon”

Seventh Circle of Hell. Retrospective: Sleepy Hollow – “The Lesser Key of Solomon” 2

In the first ten minutes of “The Lesser Key of Solomon,” we get a love sonnet (of sorts), humor, drama, and torture. If that’s any indication of what’s in store, you don’t know the half of it. This week’s episode gives us a glimpse of the real darkness both Ichabod (Tom Mison) and Abbie (Nicole Beharie) are going to be battling.

Leap of Faith. Retrospective: Haven – “Lost and Found”

Leap of Faith. Retrospective: Haven - "Lost and Found" 4

From beginning to end, “Lost and Found” is riveting. You sit on the edge of your seat waiting with bated breath for what is coming next. From creepy children stealing kids from their homes, to mediation with a very muscular Duke (Eric Balfour), and Lexie (Emily Rose) finally realizing all is not what it seems, “Lost and Found” starts and ends with suspense.

Nightmare Monsters. Retrospective: Sleepy Hollow – “For the Triumph of Evil” 6

The plot thickens as this week’s episode, “For the Triumph of Evil,” starts to delve into the darker side of Ichabod (Tom Mison) and Abbie’s (Nicole Beharie) unusual alliance. To call this a friendship isn’t quite true…yet. This unlikely duo are still exploring the nuances of working together on something much grander and frightening than they could imagine and what they must face in this episode is nothing short of terrifying.

Vampires In Haven? No, Just Bloody Troubles. Retrospective: Haven — “Bad Blood” 8

Who’s leaving bodies drained of blood around town? Well, as much as I would love for there to be a vampire roaming the streets, sadly, it’s just another “trouble” wreaking havoc on the citizens of Haven. Of course, the sanguineous blob literally sucking the life out of people, is on a mission. It’s after one person in particular … Nathan.

Feel the Burn. Retrospective: Haven — “Survivors”

Feel the Burn. Retrospective: Haven — “Survivors” 14

“Survivors” is a complex and entertaining episode. There’s obviously the macabre with the burn victims, and tension, animosity, and humor…mostly from Duke. I wasn’t sure how I would feel with Audrey being out of the picture for so long with the regular crew in Haven but I quite like the suspense of her discovering who she is without the help of her old friends.

Heads Will Roll…And Evil Will Rise. Review: Sleepy Hollow – “Pilot”

Heads Will Roll...And Evil Will Rise. Review: Sleepy Hollow – “Pilot” 18

Waking up 250 years after the Revolutionary War, Ichabod finds himself in strange surroundings as asphalt now replaces dirt roads, and with a “Starbucks” on nearly every corner, adjusting to the new world will take time.Unbeknownst to Abbie and Ichabod, they are both intertwined in a destiny to save the world but their journey will be treacherous. Throughout the Sleepy Hollow pilot, there are many dark and ominous references to the end of the world, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and demons. The supernatural and occult theme is definitely not for the faint of heart but there is also a dose of humor splashed in for good measure.

Conference Call: HAVEN’s Eric Balfour – Excited for the Season and Fan Appreciation

Conference Call: HAVEN's Eric Balfour - Excited for the Season and Fan Appreciation 20

Eric Balfour talks about what’s ahead in HAVEN Season 4: I love his answer to a question about his character Duke being either the ‘good or bad’ guy,”…it’s why I love playing the character, because he is completely human and he is fallible.” And a fan question came up asking if he’s wearing socks or not…I’m even more curious to know the back story now! Balfour also speaks animatedly and spiritedly about his new cast members Emma Lahana, Christian Camargo, and Colin Ferguson… what I am DYING to find out more about is, as Balfour put it, “how deep the connection and bond is between Duke and Audrey.” WHAT!

Stormy Troubles and More Gas Leaks. Review: Haven — “Fallout”

Stormy Troubles and More Gas Leaks. Review: Haven — “Fallout” 21

“Fallout” takes us on a wild and stormy journey. So much has changed in the quaint town of Haven, Maine yet, somehow, it seems the same…if that makes sense. As advertised, Haven returns six months after Duke and Audrey go into the barn. However, time passes differently in the barn because what is six months for everyone else feels like only mere minutes for Duke. With a splash, Duke is transported out of the barn into an aquarium in Boston. How or why, no one knows…yet. Now Duke must find his way back to Haven to figure out what happened to Audrey. But Duke won’t be traveling alone.

Conference Call: HAVEN's Lucas Bryant Talks About Season 4 and More! 22

Conference Call with HAVEN’s Lucas Bryant. I absolutely adore Bryant’s wry humor and sarcasm during this conference call. The way he talks about Eric Balfour’s “great, strong arms” embracing him in a hug in the season premiere episode “Fallout” had me riveted. (Insert giggle). And of course, Bryant would like to take all the credit for the show’s success…he was totally kidding. And I had to ask about the perpetual “gas leaks” that seem to plague Haven, Maine. Bryant says that will be addressed this season.
