Have you ever found yourself chuckling at some crude joke scribbled across a bathroom stall? Or perhaps you’ve told an inappropriate joke at work that elicited a few snickers preceded by awkward silence?

I’d like to think there’s a Peanut living inside all of us. That’s right, a Peanut. Not the salty food variety, but the Charles Schulz kind.

From growing up in a video store with countless (free) movies at my fingertips to modern day movie streaming services, the horror genre has run like blood through my veins since I was a kid.
