Why Dracula Would Make A Terrible Roomate (And What He Can Teach You About Toxic Energy)

Let’s set the scene: you’ve finally found a place in this hellish rental market. A charming gothic flat. Decent rent. High ceilings. Creepy castle vibes included. Your new roommate? Count Dracula.

How Watching Horror Movies Can Help You Deal With Life (And Why Dark Copers Have It Figured Out)

Let’s get one thing straight: horror movies aren’t just for cheap thrills or late-night scream-fests. They’re a dark, campy, blood-soaked survival manual for real life.
