COVID Crisis Wreaks Havoc On Upcoming Horror Film Release Date 'Hallowed Be Thy Name'
The writer, director, and producer of 'Hallowed Be Thy Name' has informed us of a delayed date for the film release. After preparing for a release date of June 2, 2020 to all major digital platforms and cable, the film release has been postponed until later in the month. While an exact date has not yet been confirmed between Gravitas Ventures and 3rd Fathom Films, fans should anticipate the film to be available late June or early July. The film had to abandon theaters earlier this year after businesses began to shut down due to the severity of the Coronavirus pandemic. It's unfortunate to announce that the film is being affected by yet another setback under the constantly changing circumstances. While the delay is disappointing, Gravitas Ventures and 3rd Fathom films hope to have a new release date announcement soon. Fans can expect more information to circulate about this film as Gravitas Ventures and 3rd Fathom Films plan a new target date for the release.

These 5 creepy psychological thrillers are scarier than famous horror films.
Psychological thrillers are a class of films that when done correctly can be utterly terrifying and disturbing. However, they achieve this by using different techniques than conventional horror films. The genre of horror is famous for following rules and a formula that makes predicting the outcomes of horror movies far too easy. I absolutely love horror for what it is. However at times repeated jump scares can become more silly than frightening, the pattern of people consistently behaving in ways that no rational human being ever would becomes unbelievable, newer movies become reminiscent of older films that did it better, and the fear in my stomach turns into something more like amused entertainment.

What's The Worst That Could Happen?
What’s The Worst That Could Happen? Riding the bus to and from work was so routine that the execution of the task was automatic, requiring no thought or attention on my part. I considered my commute as a type of rest time. It existed somewhere on the spectrum of consciousness between sleep and watching television. While it wasn’t as physically beneficial as sleeping, it was still rejuvenating to let my mind go completely blank. Occasionally random bits of conversation from the other passengers on the bus drifted to me out of the ether and I idly contemplated their meaning.

A Tale of Two Graveyards
This is a post about the history behind a notable tomb in one of New Orleans' "cities of the dead" and two voyages on the same ship. I love the America's Historical Newspapers (Louisiana State Package) database and I fond out this shivery piece of family history via a newspaper article I found on that database I just HAD to share.

Invisible Man (Movie Review)
I watched, 'The Invisible Man', tonight and I loved every second of it. Well 'love' might be a strong word. The thing is when you rarely watch movies you become more critical of the ones you do see. I don't have anything against movies, it's just that I always say I'll watch a new one but never do, or I intentionally avoid the popular ones *ahem Marvel movies* altogether. So when I say I 'loved' a movie, trust and believe, it's an authentic sentiment.

The Paintings in the Basement
Moving from town to town was something I got used to. We typically moved closer to whoever my mom was dating. Moving gave my mom optimism on her doomed to fail relationships. This time around, the move didn’t really phase me. My mom was taking it to the next level this time, we were moving in with her boyfriend, Frank.

EDITORIAL: Modern Exploitation Throwbacks
I’m somewhat of an aficionado of exploitation movies. The good ones are awesome and entertaining, and the bad ones are just plain fascinating. For those who don’t know, exploitation movies are movies that are typically low-budget, and whose major appeal/selling point is their (often excessive) lurid content, sometimes in reference to controversial topics of the time. And I’m certainly not the only fan of movies like these. Hell, I was born after the majority of the most beloved ones were made. But in the early 2000’s (beginning with movies like Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses and Eli Roth’s Cabin Fever), people started becoming nostalgic for these movies, and thus began the market for exploitation throwback films.

They Look Just Like Everyone Else
As Allen took another drag from his Newport 100, he heard that noise again. He stopped in the middle of the sidewalk. Shielding his eyes from the summer sun, he looked around in earnest. There it was again. Was it coming from above him? It was some type of crying. He’d been walking for almost ten minutes down the left side of Willow road enjoying the warmness of the air and the occasional slight breeze that reminded him fall was on the way. He looked around the cookie cutter neighborhood where the houses were small but not that old yet. He remembered when this area was all woods, years ago when he used to play back here with the boys. Got into a couple fights back here too.
