'American Killing' (2019) Review
Getting scripts out on time for episodic productions can be emotionally draining on the writers. It takes a massive toll on the writer’s ability to function in the real world. Consequently, when a production they put everything into is under threat of cancellation, some people find it impossible to cope. They look for a way in which they can vent both their anger and their creative talents in a singular explosive project which could elevate their name in the eyes of the viewing public. Jeb, with his cartoon series on the verge of cancellation, is one such creative talent.

I See Red
It's only 4 more blocks to grandmother’s house. When I told my friends I was fine walking home from the bar alone, it was before Jake Wolff showed up. I had taken the same walk thousands of times before; 6 blocks down Main Street and then a right on Country Club and a left on James. If I had somehow lost my vision, I could make my way home from Finn’s without missing a beat.

Fear and Fiction. Top Story - August 2019.
When we discuss horror in literature, there are several things to keep in mind. What are the cultural currents of the time? What is its era? What characterizes the fear which might be felt by those special few who vie for terror? It is with the mind towards these questions that we should look at horror, viewing it with the strong views that Lovecraft did. He attached horror to several themes present within his own time—in particular eugenics, quantum mechanics, and theosophy. These different themes influenced the way he viewed horror and the way his society would receive his horror. The difficulty of modern times is analyzing how horror should go forwards. We have seen the H. P. Lovecrafts, and Edgar Allan Poes, and Stephen Kings.

Reed Alexander's Drunk Horror Review of 'Forced Entry' (2019)
My wife just got done paying tribute to Baron Samedi, and that means I had to drink some black rum. And to get the taste of the black rum out of my mouth (sorry Baron, it's just not my drink, no disrespect meant), I cracked open the bottle of Lagavulin 16. I'm not getting paid for that, I just like Lagavulin 16.

Haunted Places USA - Third Bridge Aurora, Colorado Ghost Hunters Drums
Third Bridge History There are some places, for some reason, that posses a mysterious trait. In Colorado, there are many places: The Stanley Hotel in Estes park is believed to be haunted in a variety a ways; and from personal life experience, I would agree. Stephen King got inspiration for his movie classic, The Shining at the Stanley hotel. Colorado's ghost towns, abandoned mines, and historic hotels report common occurrences of paranormal activity.
