## Resource

This week we're covering 2006's PETRIFIED, or, as it should have been titled, SPACE MUMMY VS. NYMPHO ACADEMY! That's right, that milquetoast title is hiding one of the weirdest concepts we've encountered so far. Luckily, we're joined by someone uniquely qualified to cover both the mental health and evil mummy sides of this coin: Brian Finnerty, a contributing writer to Macabre Daily and a certified counsellor!
