Witchy Willey's Blog of Peculiar Interests

     I mentioned in my review of  The Exorcist novel that I had started reading Stephen King’s novel IT at one time, but many of the details tested my patience on becoming interested in reading any further… granted I was a lot younger when I attempted this in my Grade 10 year.  I wanted to release a review of the book before the new film comes out but as I am emotionally invested with my husband and my wonderful circle of friends, I simply am short of time right now.  My older sister and I rented the 2-part VHS version of the TV mini-series many times as children.  I also recall scaring the crap out of her BFF when she watched it in our creepy unfinished basement with her!  I slowly walked into the basement without them noticing and yelled on top of my lungs during one of the scary scenes. 😈      In celebration of the new upcoming adaptation of Stephen King’s masterpiece, I have allowed a 10th grade high school student I met...

Hi all, last night's interview with Spaced Out Radio went very well and you can listen to the recording here!  Thank-you to  Dave Scott, his team and all who listened! Listen to "Aug. 29/17 - The Shadows of Ouija with Ryan Willey" on Spreaker.
