Liars Into Lessons
It begins with an itch under my skin; an insistent need to destroy something, to rip into someone and hear them scream. And it always starts when someone lies to me. When that lie turns into something bigger and I end up being used, end up being made out to be a monster? That itch becomes a rash that spreads and spreads until I can no longer tell if I ever had clear skin.

The Interesting Origin Stories of Fictional Serial Killers
Serial killer films: they are interesting, action-packed, and leave you guessing (usually) until the very end. Some are intended to make you laugh, others to give you nightmares. In this article, however, I have chosen two of the most famous fictional serial killers to discuss: Hannibal Lecter and Norman Bates. Why? Because their Netflix series' Hannibal and Bates Motel are amazing precursors to the movies that were released so many years prior.

'Tales From the Crypt' Review
Hello again, Boils and Ghouls. As of writing this review, it is in the month of May and of course, Christmas is still a long time away. Although with this fiendishly festive episode, you don't have to wait for Jack Frost to nip at your nose, or Jolly Ol' Saint Nick to come to town, but in this case, this Saint Nick is anything but Jolly.

Can We Have a 'What We Do in the Shadows' but With Every Mythological Creature?
As of recently, FX confirmed a 10-episode TV series adaptation about the acclaimed Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement's What We Do in the Shadows (2014), and both of them are working on a spin-off of the movie called We're Wolves. The horror comedy focused on the lives of a group of vampires that live in Wellington, New Zealand, recorded as a mockumentary. So, think of The Office but with vampires, which is the best concept possible. If they approached vampires, and now wolves, it raises the question: why not every single creature possible? To take a myth or creature, add comedy and an unusual setting for them, and somehow make it work. As a contribution, here are some of the endless possibilities I've thought about.

10 Best Ghost Story Books
Nothing quite says spooky and timeless like a good ghost story. During the old days, people would gather around campfires and talk about the spooks and goblins that lurk on castle grounds.

Supernatural Events at the State Fair
It all started out as a normal summer night at the fair. The smell of overly fried foods and cotton candy that filled the air would soon turn into the smell of fear. The sounds of laughter would soon turn into piercing sounds of screams and uncertainty.

It's More Than Just a Nightmare
I awoke to deafening screams and something cascading down my cheek, slowly dripping down my neck. My eyes fluttered open. It was dark, with the exception of a flickering red light in the distance. My heart was just about to leap out my chest. "Oh God....please...." I lifted my hand to touch my face, but the realization that my hands were restrained behind my back struck me like a hammer to a nail, dead center. A voice rang through my head, "Don't worry child...it'll only hurt a lot."

Stephen King may be the best horror writer of all time, but there have been many classic horror stories that have come out in recent years.

'10 Cloverfield Lane'
So is this film a sequel and connected to Cloverfield? Err, well, no and kind of are the simple answers. Writers Josh Campbell & Matthew Stuecken (if you believe the sources) wrote a woman in confinement script called The Cellar and then was retitled Valencia. Then, at some point, JJ Abrams gets involved and the start of the film is very slightly tweaked, and a brand new ending connecting it to the Cloverfield world is developed.
