Imaginary Fiend
Dearest Diary, My name is Lily Powell. It’s time I told my story in the hopes that when my dead body is found, someone will finally believe me. No one has ever believed me before… and maybe I’m a little optimistic that my death will prove I’m not crazy, but it’s the only thing keeping my hands from trembling as I set out to tell you what my life has been like.

Hunt for the Kansan subway monster
Ok so me Getting ordained as a pastafarian minister (June 10) was one of the best things to happen to me, always having Autism I was always the guy who was outcasted, I tried everything submitting to all the fads, and even (4 years to the day) once joined a local Mennonite community (Lyndon) which was a succsess.

Top 10 scariest Urban Legends
I've always been fascinated by Urban legends and how much impact they can leave behind through superstition. Some people will not think that Urban Legends exist, however, people who maybe believe in the paranormal and everything involved within, will believe in them.

Life’s Ruts
Life’s Ruts Tears streak down my face as I struggle awake to stop the incessant beeping. “Just a horrible dream,” I tell myself. I reach to feel the comforting warmth of my still-sleeping wife before rising. Blood red neon informs me it is five-o-eight, July second. The day after Canada’s birthday.

Azrael’s Whispers
Azrael’s Whispers Desecraters of tombs, looters plucking at baubles, that’s what we were. Crowbars levered at nails screeching in protest like babies torn from their mother's womb as we tore at the boards erected to bar entrance to this once-hallowed ground. I stared at rust flows etching down cedar planks, outlining the vestiges of the Catholic cross that once stood over the doorway. White paint crumbled, graying under the oppressive touch of the sun’s heat, only to be swept away by the breath of wind and rain’s caress to dim lands of memory’s fading passages. Haphazardly nailed plywood concealed stained-glass windows that once danced with the colors of heaven. None of us knew when this old angel of grace had been closed up, but I felt the whispers singing by my as the old doors creaked open.

Dream State Part 3
Part 3: Hello Stable Insanity. I feel insecure, I can not trust myself and the day seems so unreal yet it is very much real. I can not focus these dreams I keep having most be nightmares caused by being over worked and the shadow I saw must have been my mind playing tricks on me from not having woken up fully.

I Cower To Thee
My body started to go numb as I entered into a state of panic for, I knew my life would never be the same. It was mind boggling that I ever lived at all up until this point. My life was his to take and torture. He made me bow to him as my hands were tied up behind my back, he was my God and I his disciple. “You are a coward and you make me sick,” he scolded as he spit in my face. He then kicked me with his heavy steel-toed boot in my stomach with as much force as a bulldozer and I went crashing to the cold, hard basement floor with a loud yelp. I started seeing floating specs in my eyes and eventually fell unconscious.

EDITORIAL: Can a Horror Movie Go Too Far?
Shock value is a valuable, and versatile, tool in horror movies, and some types of horror are more reliant on shock value than others. Some movies, like Dead Alive and my personal favorite horror film, Evil Dead II, use absurdly excessive gore for black humor. Other horror films, like Pieces and The New York Ripper, show brutal violence in graphic detail for (consciously) cheap thrills. And some films, like Midsommar and I Spit On Your Grave, starkly depict abuse as a way of generating awareness for such atrocities. But whether it’s being used for comedy, exploitation, or social commentary, is it possible for a horror movie to go too far with its shocking content? Sure, plenty of films over the years have been accused of doing so, but pretentious critics have been dismissing horror movies as filth for decades, even going back to Psycho, a movie that, while fantastic, is incredibly tame by today's standards. But has it ever actually been true?

The Best Black Horror Films You Can Watch Right Now
We are truly living in a new age of horror cinema. While the genre has always included diversity and featured non-male lead characters, the genre has really taken a turn when it comes to black cinema. If you would have told someone just a decade ago that a horror movie about systemic racism would win an Academy Award, people probably would have thought you were dreaming. But it happened and diversity within the horror community has been at an all time high.
