Hidden Horror Gems

Rather than watching the usual fare of Halloween movies like Halloween and Friday the 13th, SPM would like to suggest students try something new to mix things up this Halloween.

Kicking & screaming

Write what you know. So goes the adage ingrained in countless creative writing students every semester, and so goes Kicking and Screaming for its creator.
