A Nun's Dark Secret
The Nun's Curse It was a cold, stormy night when Sister Mary entered the dilapidated convent situated deep in the heart of the woods. The once grand building now stood in disrepair, a haunting reminder of its former glory.

The Vanishing Act
Detective Sarah Williams peered at the old Victorian house from her unmarked police car. It stood at the end of a quiet, tree-lined street, shrouded in an eerie mist. The place had a reputation for being haunted, but that wasn't what had brought her here.

Happy Birthday to Me is a mess of a slasher film from 1981, starring the cute-as-a-button Melissa Sue Anderson who was better known as Mary (Mary, quite contrary?) on that old show Little House on the Prairie, where Dad was a teenage werewolf. (I'm just too goshdamned witty this morning for my own good.)
5 Great Folk Horror Movies
Folk Horror, as everyone knows by now, is my all-time favourite sub-genre. It is a beautiful blend of all the different fears of urban life: a fear of belief, a fear of cults, a fear of the countryside and a fear of isolation. City dwelling has turned us into rats running in a maze and so, the silence and eerie calm of the tall grass, the long stretches of countryside or the depths of the forest would obviously make our stomachs turn and brains turn mushy with terror for a while.

The Amazing Colossal Man is an amazingly funny film from 1957 about a big bald man in a diaper ("Glenn," played by Glenn Lagan). He got to be that way, poor Glenn, from rushing out onto the atomic test range to save a downed pilot, and having radiation from the new deadly "Plutonium Bomb" wash over him. As the scientist and doctor (William Hudson and Larry Thor, respectively) yack on (and on, and on) about afterward, this led to his "cells regenerating too rapidly" (not an exact quote), so that Glenn just keeps growing...and growing...and growing.

The Unpleasant of Harrowford House
Part I: The Heritage The rambling home known as Harrowford House had been an installation of the field for ages. Settled profound inside the woods, the house oozed a ghostly marvel, its greatness covered in secret and murkiness. Legend had it that the Harrowford family had been reviled, and their house was supposed to be spooky by malicious spirits.
