Reed Alexander's Review of 'Housebound (2014)'
Yeah, this was a pretty cheeky movie. I can appreciate that about horrors that also want to be comedies, though it's very dry humor and isn't for everyone. I think the cast and crew were from New Zealand. I'm not fully positive about that, but they definitely had the dry humor that would typically go with the region.

Since the disease outbreak life in our quiet little town has quickly diminished into a war zone. There was no signs, no steady descent into madness. It was an unexpected bomb that dropped at our feet.
K MathisonPublished 7 years ago in Horror8 Podcasts That You Should Never Listen to in the Dark
Everyone loves a scary story. We watch horror movies, read countless Stephen King novels, and subscribe to Reddit threads such as No Sleep just for that tiny, primal thrill. But everyone has a limit, a line that's drawn by the sliver of light underneath the bedroom door. The dark ignites all of our deepest fears, and listening to a scary story while swathed in it is liable to get you a ticket on the Nightmare Train. But if you're one of those people who relishes forced insomnia, here are eight podcasts that you should never listen to in the dark.

"I'm not gonna hurt you. Wendy? Darling? Light, of my life. I'm not gonna hurt ya. You didn't let me finish my sentence. I said, I'm not gonna hurt ya. I'm just going to bash your brains in! Gonna bash 'em right the fuck in!"— Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance to his on-screen wife, Wendy, played by Shelley Duvall

The echo of her four--inch stilettos bounced from wall to wall in the dark corridor, the musky smell of damp trying to overpower her liberal spray of Chanel perfume, her crisp white lab coat displaying her name in blood red embroidery on the left breast pocket. She pushes hard on the double doors and blinks in the bright florescent light shining overhead in the hospital basement. She stops to take in the sight in front of her, ten standard hospital beds all lined up against the far wall looking like white marble dominoes laid flat. The room was an average size operating theatre and held all the equipment you would expect in such. She got to work reading each file slowly to ensure she had all the information needed. Each bed held a male ranging in age from 18 up to 70 and they all looked petrified, as most patients do in hospitals.
Michelle BridgesPublished 7 years ago in HorrorCursed Movies: 'Poltergeist'
It's that time of year when we think about all things scary and spooky. Many of us love a scary movie, but what happens when the truth behind those movies is scarier than fiction? There are some films that are considered cursed movies. This is when a movie with a spooky premise has several terrible or strange things happen while they are being filmed. This doesn't include any movie that went over budget or didn't make much money even though they had a lot of backing from the studios. This is only movies that are supposed to be scary, and have had some awful things happen to the cast and crew while filming, or even right after! Cursed movies send a chill down your spine and make you rethink taking a role if you are an actor! This will be a first in a series of posts about some very real, and very scary cursed movies

Her fingernails scrape my thighs as she tries to hold herself up, hooking her fingers to my leg for support. A guttural moan slips out; drawn as she arches her back, eliciting a chorus of ear splitting pops and cracks the further she goes. With a free hand she grips her jaw, moaning and screeching as she continues to twist and turn, disregarding her breaking bones as she does so. I consider kneeling down, and maybe trying to un-twist her myself; but instead I just watch as she writhes on the floor, my friend cradles her crooked head and neck.

The Hooded Nightmare
A man stood there, staring at her. The stranger who always haunted her in her dreams. He was standing in the middle of a field with dead, decaying animals as far as the eye could see. The fowl stench of animal flesh made her gag. She tried to hold her breath, but she gasped for air. Breathing in the horrid smell of the atmosphere around her only made the queasiness worse. Tears were streaming down her cheeks from the depressing sight and the pain aching in her throat. There was nothing she could possibly do, but stand there and be helpless, she hated the feeling. As she stared at the mutilated animals, she noticed something odd about the colors of their fur and their size. They were nothing like the animals she encountered in reality. They were bigger than animals she had ever seen. Different shades of blue and white danced on their fur along with other dark colors. The fur was sketched with black and silver markings inked all over their bodies.
Movie Review: 'Halloween Pussy Trap Kill Kill'
How does a movie manage to be only 77 minutes long and still feel tedious? By ripping off the Saw franchise minus the wit and the skill? That’s certainly the case that is made by the new horror movie Halloween Pussy Trap Kill Kill which feels twice as long as it’s barely theatrical release run time. This dimwitted wannabe exploitation horror flick from former God-sploitation director Jared Cohn, director of the equally tedious God’s Club, wants to marry Saw to Herschel Gordon Lewis or Roger Corman but lacks even the skill to match those low budget heroes of the drive-in genre.

Poveglia Island is a small island located between Venice and Lido in the Venetian Lagoon in Italy. It is located at 30126, Venice, Italy. This island has been used for many things but the most popular way it was used was for quarantining people who fell ill with the Black Plague. The surviving buildings of the island include a cavana, church, hospital, asylum, prison, bell tower, and housing and administrative buildings for staff that once worked there.
Kaitlin KarawackiPublished 7 years ago in HorrorThey Live
Classic horror literature and its many inspirations, rip-offs, and retelling's, came from very real sources and sometimes have a way of being a sort of social commentary. Characters like Dracula, Frankenstein, the zombie, and The Wolfman, though they're way beyond what's naturally possible, have a way of being perfect characterizations of humanity at its worst, or its most tragic. This is why in more ways than one, the horror genre, much like comedy, can tell certain truths we'd rather avoid about ourselves and the world around us. Monsters like vampires, werewolves, and science experiments gone wrong bound inside books, movies, or shows. They live and walk among us.
Benjamin Alexander HousePublished 7 years ago in Horror"My Review of Mummy 2017"
Well, I really don't like horror movies, as a rule, but this one is certainly an exception and I would recommend anyone that is a Tom Cruise fan to go and see it or rent it; whatever you have to do!
