The Pentacle Versus the Pentagram and Why You Should Never Use Both
I've been giving this particular topic a lot of thought. After all I'm not involved with the Pagan community, so I asked myself several times, "Is there something new I can bring to the table?" But in fact, there is.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Awaken the Shadow Man (2018)'
It's official. Gravitas is my favorite shoe-string production studios since Full Moon. They just try so damn hard to make quality horror out of nothing. And they come so damn close too. They're always just on the edge of genius but can't quite deliver.

A Serious Review on 'Halloween' (2018)
Halloween was seriously hyped-up, and also seriously trashed for me, before I even saw it. However, James Charles and Kenzie Ziegler both said it was good, so I decided to take their expert opinions into account and go see it. I’ve seen pretty much every previous Halloween adaptation, sequel, or alternate universe movie (even the questionable Rob Zombie version), so I had pretty high expectations for this.

Hereditary: A Must See Horror Film
I have always been one who gets pulled into the horror genre, either by choice or by force. Growing up with two older brothers I was always watching movies in this genre. I was started on movies like the original Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, and other classics. While those movies were amazing, they basically had the same template, IE: The beginning is normal, happy and cheerful. The characters have little or no issues and obstacles. In the middle something changes that throws a wrench into everything. The rest of the movie usually consists of many jump scares, gore, or a bunch of teens running around trying not to get murdered. Sound familiar? Well, Hereditary is nothing like that…

Krampus (Pt. 1)
The winter had come early to Frankfurt that year. The wind howled outside in the dark of the night. Snow had fallen and covered the cobbled streets and brick buildings in the most delicate layer. Father gathered my brother and me into the sitting room that Christmas Eve and told us he needed our help. My brother and I were surprised when we saw a brand new piano forte sitting so beautifully by the brightly decorated Christmas tree.

Illusion
Illusion 25th April 1963, the day I was born bringing sorrow in the life of my father; it was the day he lost everything. As soon as my mother gave me birth, she died and I had to live with this reality as a curse. My father never loved me after that. My grandma was the one who took care of me like a mother. She was everything to me. Every night she used to tell me stories of fairies, witches, and magic. These stories were like a lullaby to me.

'The Haunting of Hill House'
Yesterday I was scrolling through Netflix when I finally decided to give The Haunting of Hill House a chance, only after watching the trailer for it a dozen times. Six episodes later, I decided to call it a night. I couldn't tell if I liked it or if I didn't, so instead of posting another review, I guess I'd rather ask questions about it. Spoilers ahead.

Child's Play: Chucky at 30
How did our culture come to allow Chucky from Child’s Play become a thing? Thirty years after the film debuted Chucky remains in the darkest corners of our popular culture appealing to those with a bizarre, macabre sense of humor and a deep tolerance for stupid. Personally, I’ve never had any interest in this silly horror doll nonsense. I’ve never understood the appeal.

Review: 'Slaughterhouse Rulez'
It's a strange one, this. The first film to come from Stolen Picture, the new production company created by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, Slaughterhouse Rulez is very much channelling the spirit of the Cornetto Trilogy. Shaun of the Dead came out a whole fourteen years ago and the belated third movie The World's End was back in 2013, and so a relaunch of the skewed universe of Pegg and Frost is perhaps overdue.

2:31 AM
It’s only when the pressure on my bladder becomes unbearable that I realize it is 2:31 AM. I have been sitting in front of my computer, legs crossed in my chair, traveling down a very bizarre rabbit hole of conspiracy theory videos about gods walking among us and otherworldly incursions on YouTube for almost six hours straight. I did get up three times to pee, however, courtesy of my financially-crippling addiction to Diet Coke. That stuff runs right through me.
