I may not be Scorsese or Coppola but here’s my unsolicited opinion on their opinions on the MCU!

A Special Spooky Flick-List For All My Scaredy Cats.
Do you love Halloween, but are scared of your own shadow? You’re not alone. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, but I’d be lying if I said I was a fan of outright horror. Heck, I’d be lying if I said I can watch the Thriller music video by myself without the lights on….
