October Horror Movie Challenge: The Curse of La Llorona (2019) - The Conjuring Series

I think after this, I only want to run a Monsterhearts game in the mid-1980s during full-blown Satanic Panic. It was a complete blast.

Urban Fantasy Fridays: Monsterhearts
Last week, with Little Fears, we explored childhood monsters. Now, this week, I want to explore the most horrifying years of all, High School. With @lackingceremony.bsky.social 's Monsterhearts.

October Horror Movie Challenge: The Curse of La Llorona (2019) - The Conjuring Series
Is The Curse of La Llorona really part of the Conjuring Universe? There are connections with characters, but it doesn't include the Warrens at all.

Every day I’ve been getting angrier when I think about how maga, the so called alpha male bros, always punch down at people who are less fortunate or struggling.

This isn’t manliness. It’s cowardly, it’s shameful, and it makes you look like a tiny little douche face
