Horde entertainment, refreshed as the seasons rot. Pull up a headstone.

Horror Watch Pick

Press Play, Check the Locks

Every horror fan has a rotation: the classic you rewatch until the tape wears out, the new release you're brave enough to try alone, and the so-bad-it's-good one you defend at parties. Around here we rate films on one scale only — would the horde stay awake for it? Check the Zombie A.C.R.E.S. Facebook page for the latest pick and the ensuing argument.

Horde Question

The Question Chewing on Us

The outbreak starts at your local grocery store. You can grab exactly one item on your way out the door. What is it — and be honest, half of you are picking snacks, not survival gear. The horde votes, the horde judges, the horde has seen your cart.

Spooky Season

It's Always October Somewhere in the Acres

Haunted houses, costume planning, candy economics, decorations that stay up just a little too long — spooky season isn't a month here, it's a lifestyle with a cornfield. When the leaves turn, the Acres goes full harvest: watch lists, costume chaos, and the annual debate over when "too early" officially ends. (It ended in September. It always ends in September.)
