During the Lent season, many people observe dietary restrictions as an act of penance and spiritual discipline. Traditionally, this means abstaining from eating meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all Fridays of Lent, though fish is allowed. Many also give up specific foods or indulgences, such as sweets or alcohol, as a personal sacrifice to deepen their faith.

From March 5 through April 17, some San Antonio restaurants are offering special seafood focused dishes and unique dining experiences to make the season flavorful and memorable. Below is a roundup of top spots to indulge in fresh seafood and pescatarian-friendly options this Lent. Whether you’re craving upscale seafood or a creative small plates experience, these spots have you covered. (Dean’s Steak & Seafood, Tenfold Rooftop Bar, and Corinne San Antonio, 2025)

Inhuman Kiss: The Last Breath – A Haunting Sequel That Redefines Supernatural Romance

There’s something about supernatural horror movies that fascinate me. The combination of eerie atmospheres, unsettling suspense, and the unknown is the recipe for an unforgettable movie experience. Unlike traditional horror, which often relies on physical threats, supernatural horror explores ghosts, demons, curses, and unexplained phenomena, tapping into deep-seated fears of the unseen. These films create psychological terror, leaving viewers questioning reality long after the credits roll. Classics like The Exorcist and The Conjuring create religious dread, while others, like Hereditary, explore family trauma through supernatural elements. The genre’s appeal lies in its ability to transport audiences beyond logic, immersing them in chilling, otherworldly experiences that challenge their perceptions of fear.

Inhuman Kiss: The Last Breath is a Thai movie directed by Paphangkorn Punchantarak. It is now available on demand and digital on Fandango at Home, Amazon Prime, and Apple TV. (One Tree Entertainment, 2025)

Inhuman Kiss: The Last Breath – Friends since childhood, two lonely outcasts longing to be loved meet again. However, they must subdue a bloodthirsty demon residing in one of them. It is the sequel to Inhuman Kiss.

Sai has inherited her mother’s curse of the “Krasue” – a flesh-eating monster who possesses her body at night. When Sai starts to fall in love with the strange boy next-door, they realize his genetic mutation might be the cure. But at what cost…
