Vampires as Nooses, as Vampires
Have you ever felt the need to belong? To be like everyone else? Not have to hide who you were and have someone who would except you for you, with absolutely no conditions? It's a common teenage thing to want to "be normal" but not every teenager was had that feeling for over a century. Life does put certain obstacles in your life that seem like all levels of hell to get through. Most of the time people end up giving up. It's not that simple for me. Even if I wanted to give up, that would be an obstacle in itself. I've traveled the world searching for... absolutely nothing. I've lived around most places people would only dream of visiting. I've had money and love but never have I truly belonged. Not even when I was... alive.

Do you ever experience feelings of dread in your attic or basement? If so you probably need the Ghostbusters. So way back in a time BEFORE YouTube, I was shooting little short films and video clips on my trusty Mini Dv camcorder - ON ACTUAL TAPES!!
Matt LoftusPublished 6 years ago in HorrorBack To Black: Jordan Peele Reveals Much Darker Ending For 'Get Out'
With Universal's Get Out currently tearing up review sites and the box office as one of the best horror films ever, it is certainly a thriller that gets under your skin and stays there. Cleverly balancing humor, horror, and the dark issue of racism, Get Out is almost too clever for its own good. The film is held up by its truly bizarre final act, but with a great pay-off that will have you thinking about #GetOut for a long time to come.

I hope you've cleaned the bathroom, because it looks like the Saw films are getting ready to lock us back in there for another round with Billy the puppet. Michael and Peter Spierig are taking the final out of The Final Chapter, as the hotly anticipated #SawLegacy aims to carve a new piece of the puzzle, seemingly ditching the seventh film's ambiguous ending and starting afresh.

One, two, Freddy may be coming for your, but hopefully our next trip down #ElmStreet will fair better than the boogeyman's last razor-gloved attack. We all know about the maligned #WarnerBros remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street - starring Rooney Mara and Jackie Earle Haley, the 2010 film is still haunting the infamous monster franchise to this day. It now seems that all of Hollywood has another supporter, as we have found yet another person who refuses to watch Samuel Bayer's car crash of a film.
Tom ChapmanPublished 6 years ago in HorrorNo 'Bones' About It: David Boreanaz Will Never Return To 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer'
For those seeking some '90s/'00s nostalgia, what better time is there to be alive? Reunion shows like Gilmore Girls, 24, and the upcoming Prison Break hark back to a time before Kanye ruled the world, avocados didn't cost $10, and Hilary Duff was still doing that awkward Disney swish. However, while Kenan and Kel tease they could once again flip burgers for Good Burger 2, one reunion that definitely won't be happening involves the not-so-sunny town of Sunnydale. Vampire romp Buffy the Vampire Slayer 2.0 looks even less-likely to happen if the latest alumni interview is anything to go by.

Horror fans rejoice, because the trend of gritty slashers and thinking-man's thrillers is continuing well into 2017. #JordanPeele's radical racial redefinition is inviting audiences into cinemas instead of telling them to "GET OUT." While Peele may be used to being a cult comedian, the director's first foray into a life behind the camera highlights that his comic timing also has a skill for relevant societal issues.
Tom ChapmanPublished 6 years ago in HorrorThe Doe
It started out any other December night, just laying in bed and talking about work. She was a writer and I was a general laborer, as she got to stay in the warm house, typing down words, I worked outside in the elements pushing and pulling train cars. Even though we were both different in styles and opinions, it didn't matter any because we both loved each other. Even though I didn't know it, my heart was about to break with the ringing of her phone. When she got finished and hung up the phone, she had informed me it was her father inviting us to Christmas at his place, it wasn't often we got to see him as he was always on the road. It was just a few days' notice, and a distance we had to go, I told her we should go, and we will pack the following afternoon.

Matt LoftusPublished 6 years ago in HorrorThe Story of the Doll
“Mommy, Mommy I want this one!” Little Sally Fling field was given some money to go get what she wanted. When she ran to the register and asked to buy the doll she wanted, the man at the counter said “sweetie, are you sure you want this one? This isn’t a very nice dolly.” Little Sally looked up at the man with big brown eyes and said in a small squeaky voice “I want her. She’s pretty.” The man blew out his cheeks. “Ok sweetie, you can have her, but there is one thing you should know. Never and I mean never leave her on the first step of your staircase before you go to sleep.” How’d you know I had stairs?” Sally asked in wonder. “That’s for me to know and you to find out.” With a crooked smile on his lips, the mysterious man leaves Little Sally alone with her new toy. About to explode with excitement, Sally quietly sings to her new friend on the way home. Mommy I’m in the kitchen, Mommy I’m on the floor, Mommy I want more, Mommy I’m hungry, Mommy?! Feed me!” As soon as they get home Sally run’s upstairs to play with her new doll. Around five-thirty Sally has eaten her dinner (with the company of the doll) and taken a bath, now she sits still while her mom attempts to tame the wild forest called hair on Sally’s little head. Looking at herself in the mirror Sally goes over all the freckles that her daddy calls angel kisses. There are a couple surrounding the outline of her thin yet very red lips. Then there is some creeping up her button of a nose. Following them with her eyes she sees a big puddle of them going onto her eye lids. Sally stares at her eyes noticing for the first time how pretty they were, a light brown with a hint of hazel sneaking up from the corners. She then focuses on her very curly, poofy, bright red hair that her mother is trying to put into braids. With a grunt of frustration Sally’s mom ties off the end of the braid and pats Sally’s head to let her know that she is done. Before heading off to bed Sally races down stairs to say goodnight to her daddy and older brother Nathan. Nathan, who is sixteen, absolutely adores his five year old baby sister. He sweeps her up in his arms and smothers her in kisses. Sally, giggling very hard, is handed to her daddy to say goodnight. As soon as her dad pecks her cheek Sally is lifted into the air by her brother, once again. She is rushed through the air like an airplane back up the stairs. At the top of the stairs her mother awaits to tuck her in. Distracted by all the excitement sally forgets her new doll in the hallway.
