Top 3 Creepy Events That Inspired Hollywood
Movies take their inspiration from where they can and no well is more plentiful than just life itself. It's true that there are times when the truth is a lot stranger than fiction. Sometimes the truth is just plain creepy. Here are my top 3 picks for creepy events that inspired pop culture.

These 5 Monsters from the Philippines Will Have You Quaking at the Sheer Thought of Them
Hollywood takes a lot of inspiration from everywhere and anywhere when it comes to scary monsters. Sometimes it's inspired by different cultures and expands on them or dips into pagan themes. With that in mind, I dipped into my own heritage to take a look at the top five monsters I would love to see on the American big screen. All of these monsters stem from memory as a child (because telling your 6-year-old son about stuff like this roaming around is solid parenting), and the ones on this list are the ones that stuck with me the most.

'The Walking Dead' Wants Some Tongue Action With Season Finale Tribute Zombie
Greg Nicotero is sure showing us what a 53-year-old man with a penchant for zombies can do with his tongue, and it looks like the SFX on #AMC's #TheWalkingDead are ramping up the gore for the Season 7 finale. We only may be six episodes in to TWD's 16-episode run, but Scott Gimple and co. have already wrapped up what is sure to be another blood-soaked finale. SFX aficionado and horror legend Greg Nicotero posted a video to his Instagram to celebrate the end of another sickening season, but can you spot a homage to one of the great zombie films of yesteryear?

The Dark Friendship of Oskar and Eli in "Let the Right One In"
I talked about Oskar a week or two ago and doing that got my mind rolling around about Let the Right One In all over again. It's been years since I've first seen this film and I still think about it every now and again. I suppose that's what makes it one of my most favorite movies. Thinking about Oskar, I obviously had to turn my thoughts to Eli. I made mention in the previous article how I sensed something dark in her friendship with Oskar. Now, I won't deny that there is something sweet about their relationship. They're both people who are invisible for their own reasons who found each other. They bonded over that and their relationship builds from there. However, as I think more Eli and the circumstances around her friendship with Oskar, I can't help think that perhaps there are darker things to come as Oskar and Eli's relationship develop after the end of the movie.

The Science Of Demonic Possession: How The Vatican Is Trying To Save Our Souls
In the media-savvy world of 2016, the Vatican's ideals on exorcism may seem a little outdated from its first publication of the Rite of Exorcism in 1614. This year's film #Incarnate bridges the gap between the worlds of demonic possession and science, so forget what you think you know about the casting out of evil spirits. Incarnate merges with the Vatican's new stance on how to conduct #exorcism and sees Aaron Eckhart's Dr. Seth Ember enter the psyche of the possessed.

The Terrifying And Untold True Story Of Modern Day Exorcisms
While you might think that exorcism is only the stuff of horror films like Brad Peyton's #Incarnate — in which Aaron Eckhart stars as Dr. Seth Ember, literally going inside the minds of others to banish their demons, Inception- and The Cell-style, but keeps his methods from the public — "real" exorcisms are very much keeping people awake at night. Dubbed the "Pope Francis effect," thanks to the leader of the Catholic Church's constant talk of evil and exorcisms, many people no longer consider demonic possession a superstition.

Its' Not Easy Being Mean: Songwriter Loves That 'Easy Street' Was Used To Torture Daryl On 'The Walking Dead'!
It is a method I have used before — turning my speakers to the wall at 2am and blaring out S Club 7 as a way to torture my housemate. Now it appears that the lyrical version of waterboarding has made it into mainstream TV in Season 7 of #TheWalkingDead, which unfortunately meant that the season's third outing, "The Cell," saw things looking pretty bleak for Daryl Dixon.

Iron Maiden: Could Daryl About To Be Burned In 'The Walking Dead'?
Can you hear that? It's the sizzle of burning flesh on #TheWalkingDead horizon: but just who could be facing a light steam and press? #DarylDixon may well be in the "ironing" line as everything is looking a little grim for our resident Hell's Angel. Episode 3's "The Cell" was harrowing enough, but we can only imagine that things are going to get worse for the littlest Dixon.
