Proud to admit that I am a horror junkie. However, my definition of what falls under the realm of horror entertainment is fairly wide. Horror is an emotion experienced differently by individuals. These are short reviews of the movies, television series, novels, comics, albums, and any thing else which crosses my path if I feel like falls into the wide world of horror entertainment.

Lost Girl, Season 1 (2010)
Starring: Anna Silk
Synopsis:
A succubus who is just learning her powers tries to solve the mystery of why she is what she is and remain neutral in an age old battle between the Light and Dark Fae (supernatural creatures)
My Take:
It's a decent premise, especially with a succubus named Beau in the lead role, as she masquerades as private eye. Naturally all the cases end up having a connection to the secret Fae World. The show does a fine job creating its own mythos of fairytale and supernatural beings. Most of the secondary characters are intriguing and refreshing characters not normally seen in a horror style show.
The human sidekick, Kenzi, did tend to get on my nerves a bit. And poorly written one liners come fast and furious towards each episodes end. The writers should cut down on those.
Favorite Episode: "Vexed" (episode 8)
In this episode shit hits the fan as Beau tries to help a Fae on death row, who just happens to know something about her past. Both sides don't like her interfering as it breaks the old laws.
Review: In the Middle (but in a positive, take a chance kind of way)
