The City of the Dead
City of the Dead is a somewhat subdued little spook show shocker wherein Christopher Lee holds forth as a professor of witchcraft studies or some damn thing, who gives a real detailed and evocative description of a witchcraft burning in a small New England town where there is always a thick layer of fog on the ground with fake tress thrusting upward toward a sky that is always dark. Okay?

"The Haunting Lullaby"
As the moon cast a pale, silvery glow across the old family farmhouse, young Sarah lay in her childhood bedroom. The creaking floorboards and the soft rustling of the leaves outside were comforting sounds that she had grown up with. Her grandmother, Eleanor, had always told her that the old house had a soul, that it held the memories of generations past. But Sarah never truly believed in such tales, until that fateful night.

Why the 'Pet Sematary' Remake Soars Above the Original
Oftentimes, the best song covers are the ones that reinvent the wheel completely. Other times, the most memorable covers are the ones where musicians incorporate the elements that worked best in the original and embellish them by adding in their own stylistic touches. Pet Sematary, based on the Stephen King story, and directed by Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer, is the latter. While the 1989 Mary Lambert version of the film still has its merits, the 2019 remake stands as an improvement in nearly every conceivable regard. Though Kölsch and Widmyer aren't names deeply rooted in the horror genre, Pet Sematary makes clear that they're two figures with an admirable flair for the fearsome.

Echoes of the Overlook: Why ‘The Shining’ Still Endures
They say a film can take a toll on an actor, but perhaps nowhere is that more evident than in the anguished screams of Wendy Torrance in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. Played by Shelley Duvall, her role pushed her to psychological lows that can be viscerally felt by the viewer. Both Jack Nicholson and Danny Lloyd, too, carry the film with their unsettling performances. The entire cast and ambiance of the film impart a palpable weight.

The House of Usher's Demise
This is my critique on another show that is streaming. The title is equivalent to a film from the 1960s with Vincent Cost. I assumed I had tracked down another series to watch.

In the celestial realm, where the cosmos danced to the harmonious melodies of the universe, there was an angel named Iblis. His name once resonated with the purest of intentions, but his fate took a different turn, and he became known as the Fallen Angel of Temptation.

To Wet the Earth With Blood
In ancient times, in the lands ruled by Druid and inhabited by Celt, human beings were burned alive on terrific bonfires, often caged (as the famous bad movie depicts) in "wicker men," tall wicker effigies in which they were imprisoned. The fires were to light the pathway of the Sun, as it fell into the kingdom of the Lord of the Dead. This Lord was SAMHAIN, ("Saveen"), and it was on his most unholy of nights when the "Hell-Gate of Ireland" was opened, and the ancient spirits so malevolent to the ursuper man, ushered forth. These creatures had been driven back, once, at the battle of Mortura, into the sea--the ancient Fomor; but, like Lovecraftian hybrids of man and monster, they would return, "when the stars were in alignment," and they needed propitiation. They, in short, demanded BLOOD.
