Whatever the reason might be, the genre is definitely one of those things you either love or hate. Sometimes a horror movie is just creepy enough to win mainstream appeal.

How Watching 'The Simpsons' Treehouse Of Horror Specials Helped Me Become A Horror Lover
Like many millennials, I grew up watching a lot of television. Shows like Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Ren & Stimpy, Dinosaurs, and many more gave me social references and jokes that I still make to this day.

5 Things From 'The L Word' That Didn't Stand The Test Of Time
Showtime's The L Word was groundbreaking. While the very subject of the LGBTQ+ community was downplayed after the AIDS epidemic hit, the late 90s and early 2000s brought the community into a bigger light with a different perspective in television and film. Shows like The L Word aimed to depict the lives of queer people as "normal," along with giving queer actors a chance to play a version of themselves on television. The series has a loyal fanbase and was instrumental in a lot of Millennial-age queer people seeing representation for the first time. However, there are a lot of things that the original series did that didn't really hit the mark by today's standard.

The 5 Worst 'Shameless' Characters Of All Time
The very principle of Shameless was to have characters who were morally corrupt. Whether it was drug abuse, sexual promiscuity, criminal activity, or infidelity, the show really showed the full spectrum of shameless behavior. In the sea of less than desirable characters, some did manage to clean up their act and make something out of themselves. Carl became a police officer, Lip got sober(ish), and even Kevin and Veronica decided a change of scenery was best for their situation.

The 5 Best 'Shameless' Characters Of All Time
As the title suggests, Shameless is a show all about Chicago residents who are all unapologetically (and shamelessly) themselves. Throughout the show's 11 seasons, we followed the Gallagher family and their supporting characters on the quest to merely survive in the rough South Side of Chicago. While watching the Gallagher family we saw drugs, alcohol, weapons, sexual mishaps, teen pregnancies, infidelity, and just about every kind of criminal behavior you could think of.

Why We Should Be More Forgiving of Harper in 'Happiest Season'
If you're like me and pretty much every other member of the LGBTQ+ community, you were ecstatic about Happiest Season hitting Hulu. The film directed by queer actress/director Clea DuVall dropped on Hulu this past week, and already, viewers have a lot to say about the Christmas-themed romantic comedy. Not only is it the first major Christmas release to feature a same-sex couple, but it also amps up LGBTQ+ representation by featuring queer actors. Aside from this, the story itself has gained quite the response from viewers.
