MJ's @alexmiller16mm.bsky.social thinks you should do yourself a favor and watch THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVES DOWN THE LANE this Halloween season.

#TheLittleGirlWhoLivesDownTheLane is now streaming on various platforms.

THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVES DOWN THE LANE is a Hitchockian Halloween thriller — Moviejawn

by Alex Miller, Staff Writer  One of the scariest things about the movie is coded in the title. Is there anything more creepy than putting the word "little" in front of "girl?"
