Recover Your Lover
The girl, a woman really, short cropped black hair and eyes like shining onyx, she’s sitting to left of me on the bus. No, not onyx, onyx is all wrong. Her eyes are hematite, magnetic. I think of these words as I try to imagine the sort of poetry I would write for her if she were mine. I know this woman from my university, but we’ve never spoken.

Nine of the World’s Most Haunted Forests
I’m a sucker for a good wood. In fact, as a child, I used to quite happily head off into the local woods for hours on end. (Ah, those were the days, when kids used to be able to do that).

9 Horror Movie Sets That Experienced Real Hauntings
There’s something fun about watching a horror film. If you’re like me, you’ll probably view it from behind the nearest cushion/friend’s shoulder, but nonetheless, fear-factor aside, it’s always an exhilarating experience.

West Arbor Road
I've always had an affinity for horror but I don't believe everything I hear. Neither should you. Your worst fears are just stories that your mind tells itself, it’s all part of normal human anxiety. Our emotions and memories become entwined when they live in our subconscious for long enough, and that’s why they’re so hard to shake.

'The Nun' Official Teaser Trailer Review!!
Wow!!! If you guys have not seen The Nun trailer, you should watch it right now. I have watched the trailer with my sister and we were completely spooked, especially me (laugh). Now, when you start the trailer, it says, “make sure you watch the end,” which seems very intriguing, right? Also, this movie will be released on September 7 in theatres near you. I am super excited for the premiere and I cannot wait to watch the movie in person with my loving family. I feel like this movie is going to freak me out.

'Hereditary' Review
I was able to finally get seats to see Hereditary. I'll admit I came into the theatre with doubts. Back when I first saw trailers for the film, this being over the winter, I wasn't so impressed with any of it. The production company, A24, has made some great films in the past. The only one that I can say I've seen is The Witch, which I will admit to only seeing because Stephen King recommended it on his Twitter. That film was fantastic. I really am enjoying the way these films are bringing back a type of horror that is barely used anymore, that horror being the creep factor. The distaste that I have for jump scares I think is something any horror fan can agree on. The general feeling of something being wrong. Feeling unsettled the whole film, something we can all appreciate.

'American Horror Story': Crossover?
We know the drill; it’s that time of year again. Every year we come in partially blind and knowing very little about what’s involved when a season of everyone’s favorite anthology horror show, American Horror Story, makes its long-anticipated return at FX, but you don’t have to hold your breath for much longer. We finally know what this upcoming season is about — well, sort of — and it’s going to be a dream come true for super fans that love Season 1 and Season 3.

Hangman's Road
So, you want to learn the mystery of "Hangman's Road"? You want to know, exactly, why they call it Hangman's Road? Have you got a minute, my dear? Because it is rather a lot to relate. All true, by the way. I got it, first hand, from a friend of a friend, whose chiropractor's dentist got it from his dental assistant; she heard it straight from the mouth of the aunt of the policeman WHO WAS ACTUALLY THERE. So, as you can tell, it comes from an unimpeachable source.

Review: 'Hereditary' and the Art of Tension
WARNING: This review contains spoilers. Since Hereditary hit theaters on June 8, it's all my horror buddies and I have been able to talk about. All in all, I've seen it three times and each one has been a completely different experience, but one thing remains the same, the queasy pit in my stomach as Annie (Toni Colette) stares into the darkness at her mother's apparition.

Not a Love Story
He's not sure when this will end or when it began. He knows he didn't love her when it began. Or maybe he did. Maybe the Fates knew that he did and it was they that compelled him to take her. They sing to him when they see someone new that they crave, but when he saw her they screamed in agony until his stomach was twisted into knots and it felt like a fire had begun in his chest. When he took her the flames still burned but he started to enjoy the pain, and the Fates hummed softly.

Creature: Pt. 1
Creature Christopher Andrews A slim, black cat slowly sauntered downstairs into the basement. The basement was filled with small critters this time of year. The cat was hoping to catch a nice midnight snack but instead found only small chewed up bits of all the critters. At first, the cat was puzzled and wondered why there were no critters roaming about, but it dismissed the thought and proceeded to eat the small bits of vermin. Behind the cat loomed a dark figure as silent as the night, not exactly human, but not an animal either. The cat ate with it shoulders haunched unknowing that he was soon to be preyed upon.
