It's so unfair that we only celebrate mommies one day out of the whole year, so we here at Spooky Tuesday are taking the initiative to up the ante. This month, we're proud to present Mommy Issues May, a four-week slate of episodes dedicated both to mommies with issues and those who have issues with their mommies (because we're inclusive like that). And you know we had to start off strong, which is why we're covering Goodnight Mommy (2014) for our first episode. This Austrian horror flick is from the same team that went on to make The Lodge (2019), so you know it's going to be fucked, and it also features the ~spookiest~ thing of all: identical twins.
