Mind games taken way too far; explore the disturbing genre of psychological thrillers that make us question our perception of sanity and reality.
Living Nightmare
I was running through the underground, dodging little children, crashing into older people, and bumping through barriers with my ticket, knowing if I didn't run any faster I was going to miss the last tube. I don't know why I was running through the underground or why I was determined that I had to get the last tube. I could easily turn back and go up to the main roads and get a taxi.

The Watcher
I watched her, through the hazy window of her bedroom. Her eyes, her lips, her hair. She fascinated me. The moonlight played on her face... on her lips. I watched her shuffle in her sleep for what seemed like the perfect eternity until I felt the sun on the back of my neck. I watched her again for a short moment before she woke, rose from her disheveled bed and stretched away the stiffness from sleep. I watched her make breakfast: cinnamon oats, just like yesterday. I was truly intrigued by her. Her life, her love for her dog and her body, perfectly proportioned.

Captured and Bound
Her eyes flutter open, and she slowly regains consciousness. She lifts her head and her eyes immediately follow the single ray of light that falls into the room, she looks towards the window and realizes she is underground. Her thoughts are sluggish, and she feels sick, her first instinct is to get up and run, but as she tries to move, she finds that she is bound to her seat. There are chains on her feet, and her hands are tied to the arms of the chair, she pushes herself forward to find even her waist is locked down to the chair by a tight leather cloth. The stress she applies to get out of the chair is too much for her, and she has to stop lest she becomes unconscious once again. She takes a long deep breath only to find that the air makes her lungs burn and she coughs up a combination of blood and bile. She feels like screaming, kicking and crying but she knows she must remain calm.

Piecing Together The Puzzle: Directors Give Us A First Look At 'Jigsaw'
For six years and seven installments, we saw pretty much everyone get mangled, maimed, and mauled by the Saw franchise. Starting a horror revolution back in 2004, the final installment — ironically dubbed "The Final Chapter" — was just a shadow of its former glory as the series hobbled off into the distance like Dr. Gordon himself. However, seeming to round off the tales of those who were still alive, the Jigsaw case file seemed closed. Well, that was until now.

He Was 'Night' In Front Of Your Eyes: Did You Spot M. Night Shyamalan's 'Split' Cameo?
When you have finished picking your jaw up off the floor following that shock ending from Split, let's look back at what great Easter Eggs you might have missed. Critics certainly aren't "split" on their opinion of the film, calling it Shyamalan's greatest work in years and a return to form for the 46-year-old director, but did you spot the man himself in there too? What elevates #Split from your standard abduction #horror is its shocking, and frankly amazing, ending, including that cameo from Bruce Willis. Willis returns to his role as David Dunn from 2000's #Unbreakable, setting up not only a sequel, but a whole Shyamanlaniverse of films. I wish I could say that #MNightShyamalan's cameo does the same, but it isn't quite as memorable.

How Horror Helped Me Face Myself. Top Story - November 2017.
The second you tell someone you’re a horror fan usually either one of two things will happen: They’ll light up and say “me too!” They’ll give you a weird look that says “oh you’re one of THOSE people.”
