'Lovecraft Country' TV Show Trailer Shows Us Our First Look At Cthulhu
The famed writer H.P. Lovecraft revolutionized the horror genre in a way that people had not seen before, or indeed since. The unique existential dread that his stories portrayed showed people a world where they were completely insignificant in every way, and that life had little meaning overall. In no way was this more brilliantly accomplished than with his pantheon of Ancient Ones, Elder Gods, and Great Ones. To even look upon them was to go mad. None of his creatures are as famous or popular as the Great Older God Cthulhu.

The hat that I Wanted
I walked down the street to the consignment shop. I had been there so many times before. Trinkets and treasures could always be found. I was excited because today was thrifty Thursday and everything was 20% off. I stepped inside and went straight to the perfume bottles. I am a collector of bottles and I always like to find new items. I found a few that I liked and I greedily picked them up and put them on the cashiers counter for safekeeping. I wanted to take a wander around the store to see if there was anything else that I wanted.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'The Forrest' (2016)
This movie is just plain dumb, with some of the worst fucking acting I've ever seen. I mean, 'Tommy Wiseau School of Acting' bad. Mind you, not as bad as The Bay (2012), more like on par with They (2002). If you're making movies with a budget, there's no excuse to have bad acting.

"The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson
I first read this book when I was about fourteen years’ old and honestly I can say that I lost a lot of sleep afterwards. I found it in the library and the copy was a bit tattered and old, it looked like it had been there for a while and I took it home to read at night time. Honestly, I didn’t think it was going to be that bad because by that time, I’d already read and watched William Peter Blatty’s “The Exorcist” and read a bit of Stephen King. I was pretty solid during my teens. But this book is a book that literally chilled me because different to all of those, it was a book in which your mind is completely turned and twisted and even the language makes you swallow your pride. The book is a reality of one woman who slowly loses it and yet, you lose it with her. It’s almost impossible not to feel the book in your body whilst your going through the insanity of its history, its story and every single one of its three dimensional, dark and flawed characters. Before you ask, I wasn’t a big fan of the TV show even though I did watch it - it didn’t seem to have anything similar to the book but the name. I hope they don’t do the same thing with “The Turn of the Screw” by Henry James. I really hope they don’t. But, Carla Gugino was stunning as always.

PAUSE: A Look Back at Andrzej Zulawski's 'Possession' (1981)
Mimicked just a few years ago by Massive Attack in their video for 'Voodoo in my Blood', which starred a brilliant but frantic Rosamund Pike undergoing a Satanic attack in a subway, 'Possession' is a film that exists without a great buzz. This is a shame, because it is as deserving of as much praise as any blockbuster horror we've grown to revere nowadays, and contains one of the greatest onscreen performances, I personally, have ever witnessed.

Grim Fate
The autumn leaves slowly tumbled to the ground in a graceful dance that reminded the man of a dream he had once upon a time. In the dream there were men and women whirling around in ceremonial dress around a child who was lying on the ground, completely silent. Everything was in slow motion, and while it could have been a peaceful scene, there was something wrong about it. It struck the man as more of a warning and less of a dream; almost as if there were clues he was supposed to follow in order to understand the basic nature of the scene playing out before him.

Asia's Urban Legends
Hey Ghoul Lovers! When we talk about horror and Paranormal, we definitely get intrigued by the origins of the story or how Urban Legends came about like simply asking yourself "Who is the Bunny Man actually?". Be it "Grandmothers' tale" or just stories to scare children to sleep. What if i tell you, Urban Legends in Asia are still relevant to the current generation? Trust me, growing up, the influences of superstitions had always been brought down by my previous generations and i'm sure it follows till the end.

Cree Legends
It was winter and people started out to their traditional traplines away from the Fort Albany river. Two families decided to camp along what is now known as Ghost river. This is long before contact, when Cree people traveled freely to any destination as far as they could go. This river was near Fort Albany and Attawapiskat by kilometres both sides. People either used dogsleds at that time. These two families trapped small game such as beavers and martens, snared rabbits and they enjoyed the landscapes by the riverside.
