Sarah Stubbs is an online content creator with a passion for all things pop culture, especially food and horror. The latter were both early passions of Sarahโs. Her mother taught her how to cook at a young age, fostering that passion. Additionally, her mother was instrumental in her love of horror movies, showing her movies like House on Haunted Hill and all of the Universal Monster movies before the age of 10. All of these passions played into her creating Sarah Stubbs Says, as well as her other projects like the 100 Horror Movies in 92 Days Challenge.
Sarah also co-founded the site Geeks Who Eat with her husband Matthew in 2015 and is the co-host of Final Girls Feast.

Horror films featuring veganism/vegetarianism seem to be trending as of late with titles like Vegan (2024) and Chris Cooney aka The Vegan Zombie's A44 (2025), so when I saw Meat Kills was playing at Fantastic Fest, I was definitely intrigued.

If a film has any sort of gastro elements, I'm always going to be curious. This rings especially true if it is horror, thriller, mystery, or any mix of the 3. Dinner to Die For has elements of all three. I think folks will try to soften the film's edges by simply calling it a [...]
August 18th may seem like just any other August day, but to horror fans it's a holiday in its own right. Of course I'm talking about "Texas Chain Saw Day." When audiences see "August 18, 1973," emblazoned across the screen, they know that an "idyllic summer afternoon became a nightmare."
Bring Her Back is a haunting meditation on loss, care, and the quiet horror of unspoken trauma.

The films I've chosen range from classic adaptations, such as Dracula , , and Frankenstein , to more recent offerings, such as Rebecca and , and even some that are not based on novels but feel like they are.

We need to celebrate Black Horror now more than ever. And it's not just for Black History Month but all year long.

Horror scholar, professor, and author Tananarive Due says it best: โWe've always loved horror. It's just that horror hasn't always loved us.โ For our Black Horror issue, we honor the many great Black filmmakers...
