A Definitive Ranking of "The Conjuring" Franchise
The Conjuring. Whether or not you like horror movies, audiences everywhere have been captivated by the franchise. James Wan first introduced audiences to the saga in 2013, with the first film, rightly named “The Conjuring”. Since then, seven more movies have been released in the universe, and at least two more are known to be in talks of production. The main draw to the films is no doubt their connection to Lorrain and Ed Warren. Ed, a famed demonologist, and Lorrain, a skilled psychic medium, have taken on hundreds of cases throughout their lengthy career. Some include the Amityville Horror house, the Smurl haunting, and The Snedeker House ( best known from the film The Haunting in Connecticut, though not a part of The Conjuring franchise).

The Word in “Hereditary”
The world is made of language. The word is primary, more primary than the speed of light, more primary than any of the physical constants that are assumed by science to be the bedrock of reality. — Terence McKenna, Shamans Among The Machines

Fragments of Horror by Junji Ito
From time to time there appears a person endowed with an intellect far above the average, someone capable of seeing things that normal man can barely observe. I am not referring to a superior being from an evolutionary point of view, but to that individual endowed with a special gift, to his or her ability to cross borders with his or her thinking.

I Don’t Believe in Ghosts, But
I grew up in the ’80s and ’90s and was much more interested in comedies or movies of youth like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off or Breakfast Club. And although I enjoyed sci-fi movies like Back to the Future or Ghostbusters, it was more for the acting, special effects, and the fact they poked fun at the entire paranormal or supernatural sci-fi genre.

Vampire Legends from the History
For millennia, mankind has been haunted by vampire myths. Some of them are based on true events, which makes them creepier. Here are some terrifying urban legends that proved out to be true for more strange stories.
Meet 10 Surreal Artists Who Are Bringing Your Nightmares To Life
Terror aficionados across the globe know that true horror is about so much more than the obvious dark, gore-laden atmosphere that you’ve come to expect from the genre. It can be conveyed through many different mediums, such as light and colour; so that a bright scene with one minute but glaringly askew detail can suddenly change and take on a more sinister tone.
Torso
The day had actually been a very nice one until we found the body. The sun had been shining; perfect day for fishing, Edison had commented, and Harker had joked that it was still up for debate--Edison might scare them away with his balding mug peeking over the edge of the boat. Edison had made a sour face, but finally acquiesced, laughing with us as we three headed down to the lakeside.

My life was saved by Christmas movies.
Presently, the recordings that I make are exceptionally low financial plan, not even close to the expert quality like others put out. I don't claim a PC, or have extravagant recording hardware as they do.

Supplicant
The pervading darkness of snow capped mountains flanking either side of their vehicle was a stark contrast to open plains like those which had accommodated Gera and Richard Wright for the past seven years. Like most things in their troubled relationship the dissonance of their individual satisfaction driving through the Adirondacks hung in the air as a perpetual indication that the afternoon was concluding. Another long day had passed in an enclosed space that threatened catharsis for two people who had long since given up on the corrupted foundations of a marriage. Despite low visibility, every intricate detail of a vibrant green forest drew Gera’s undulating gaze across the treetops as a welcome invitation to escape the familiar atmosphere. She liked the change of scenery because it reminded her that her life wasn’t always as predictable as a horizon that stretched desolately in every direction. Richard was driven by agitation to dismiss the details outside the cabin of his truck, instead failing to be captivated by the hum of it’s engine in the same way that his wife seemed to be. Attention to detail was less charming to him as a character trait. Years of compulsory etiquette replacing vested passion during arguments left him tired. A change in the environment stirred at the silent contention of change as a topic between them; he never liked it and she had always been unable to seize it.

The Sound
How it has tried, but my tortured, everlasting soul cannot forget that sound. I had been living in the house for almost two years without any issue more dire than the shower water running cold just a little bit too quickly for my comfort. I loved the house. I felt entirely comfortable residing there. Then there was the sound, and in one moment my whole life, and everything I believed about death, suddenly changed for all time.

The doorway speaks. Julianne tries her damnedest to ignore it, yet the sound is constantly nagging regardless. Ever since she moved into the house a few months ago, the seemingly ever-present white noise coming from behind the door has been a daily fixture of her experience.

“Hi, honey! Dinner is almost ready. Relax and make yourself a drink, I will have that out for you in no time!” She greets him gleefully, the same way she does every evening when he gets home from work.

'Chucky' TV Show Dropped the Ball with Nica and Needs to Do Better
When Chucky returned to our screens via 2013's Curse of Chucky, we were introduced to a new protagonist: Nica Pierce. Portrayed by Brad Dourif's daughter Fiona Dourif, Nica was revealed to be the child of a woman whom human Charles Lee Ray obsessed over before becoming a doll. Nica's paraplegia is due to human Chucky stabbing her pregnant mother Sarah, who, along with the rest of the adults in Nica's family, gets killed in the film, with Nica framed for the murders. Her fate was something different for the franchise. Unlike original protagonist Andy Barclay, she did not get a typical victory.

“When we can not sleep we pretend we are dead.” Rain splattered against the warped glass window across the room. The old clock on the wall competed to be heard above the noise. The woman leaned forward in her chair. “I don’t suppose you have trouble sleeping.”
