WWAC Shares Spooky Stories of Unexplainable Phenomenon
It’s October, which means I try to devote each evening to watching a horror film, ranging from classics like Nosferatu to personal favorites like Poltergeist to ones I just never got around to watching like The Omen (the original—it was okay).

My First Horror Movie: Friday the 13th

If there’s one thing we love here at WWAC, it’s making adorable avatars of ourselves in various formats. With the upcoming release of The Peanuts Movie, we happily Snoopy-danced our way over to the Peanutizer to produce these little gems and share our special memories of Charlie Brown and the gang.
