Whispers in the Shadows
Whispers in the Shadows In the small, forgotten town of Ravenswood, a dense fog clung to the streets, shrouding the buildings in an eerie silence. The townsfolk, long accustomed to a life in the shadows, went about their business with a sense of unease. However, a far more sinister force lurked in the darkness.

Where is the missing child?. Content Warning.
Part 1: The Vanishing Act The quaint town of Ravenswood, bathed in the silvery glow of the harvest moon, held its collective breath on that fateful autumn night. The wind, a spectral messenger, whispered ancient secrets through the rustling leaves, casting long shadows that danced upon cobblestone streets. Unbeknownst to its unsuspecting residents, a chilling mystery loomed within the heart of their seemingly tranquil enclave—a mystery destined to unfold in a series of events that would send shockwaves through the very soul of Ravenswood.

Blumhouse's BLACK CHRISTMAS remake is a godforsaken cinematic calamity
There is a passage from Mark Kermode's 2011 book, The Good, The Bad, and the Multiplex, wherein he talked of a phenomenon in media consumption that he referred to as "diminished expectations" - in essence, the act of going into something expecting it to be completely bad, only for your opinion of it to increase in positivity upon the sight of even the barest sliver of something good within it, like a dehydrated person in a vast, barren desert being grateful for a sip of water, even though they deserve so much more, and so much better, than just the bare minimum.

BLACK CHRISTMAS (2006) is an unfairly underrated holiday-horror schlockfest. Top Story - December 2023.
With horror films, how often do we not know how good we once had it until it's way too late, and we can only appreciate something's greater value upon reevaluation, and unflattering comparison to the lesser alternatives we have in the present?

Swamp Thing
I've read a couple of issues of classic Swamp Thing, and own a few. The film Swamp Thing, starring the delectable Adrienne Barbeau as well as Ray 'Leland Palmer" Wise, was directed by the late, great Wes Craven. It co-stars Louis Jourdan, the incomparable and much-lamented late David Hess, as well as Dick Durock as Swamp Thing.

The Unseen Santa
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. Little did the Thompson family know that this Christmas Eve would be unlike any other.

Shadows of the Forgotten Tomb
Amelia's heart raced as she approached the desolate graveyard, a place long forgotten by the living. The moon cast an eerie glow, revealing weathered tombstones that seemed to whisper secrets of the past. The air hung heavy with an otherworldly chill, and an unsettling stillness enveloped the cemetery.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'It' (1990)
Let me start off by saying that there is a lot about this movie that might disappoint a modern viewer who had never seen it before. It's campy, the production quality is actually pretty low, the acting honestly isn't that great. Frankly, we have to be honest that those of us who love this movie, are really riding a lot of nostalgia. That's why we ended up with It (2017) and It Chapter 2 (2019).

Altered States
Altered States is a film starring the late actor William Hurt as Dr. Eddie Jessup, a brilliant and mad scientist obsessed with "breaking through" the barrier separating man from his "primitive, real self." To this end, he devises the use of various "sensory deprivation" tanks, which are like boilers he floats in with scuba helmets (at least in one case) while his partner, Bob Balaban (as "Arthur Rosenberg") monitors his vitals. Fellow research scientific bigwig, the loud and bellicose Mason Parrish (Charles Haid), advises him, "You're a freak, Jessup." Jessup goes to Mexico to dabble in psychedelic mushrooms with the Hinchi Indians. His psychedelic trip is an explosion of visual and auditory fireworks, depicting shimmering dual entities floating in space, the explosion of worlds, and two people, Jessup and lover Emily (Blair Brown) sitting in a garden having a quaint Victorian tea, right before walking into an atomic explosion.
