A Day in the Life of Grandma Bau
Administrator Yuan poured the tea to go with the opened pomegranate. He had learned to deal with many unusual situations during his time as supervisor of the Tongli Family Hospital. Most of them he just put under the header of “Grandma Bau”: the occasional missing corpse, disappearing orderlies, objects moving without visible force, even the somehow common “I loved talking to that old woman; who was she?” He even named his antacid tablets his “Grandma Bau pills” as she was the reason he went through so many.

In the Mouth of Madness is a Total Madhouse of Confusion and Terror
I can't believe I had no idea that John Carpenter had directed this film. The only reason why I started watching this movie, was because I had heard from so many horror fans that this film has a huge cult following. I had no idea of the story, only that I knew that the main dude in this film was the main character who came out in the first Jurassic Park.

All is calm in the world, nothing moves, not even a whisper of a shadow. The moon shivers overhead guided by the clouds and the cat purrs itself to sleep.

Saw: Worst to Best List
Saw is a successful horror film series that began in 2004, centering on the character John Kramer, known as the Jigsaw Killer. Kramer is a civil engineer who, after being diagnosed with cancer, decides to test his victims' will to live through elaborate traps and deadly games. Rather than directly killing his captives, he offers them a chance to survive if they demonstrate their will to live, which often involves inflicting physical pain or making difficult moral choices.

The Manuscript of Marovik
It was a dull evening in early October when the train to Marovik Station came in two hours late. In a quiet compartment, **Anna Petrov** sat staring at a dusty old notebook she’d found in her mailbox that day. It had no return address. The cover was black leather, edged with a faded silver emblem she didn’t recognize. The words *“Marovik”* and a circled cross were etched in the corner.

“The Real Aladdin’s Lamp: What I Found Inside an Old Chest Changed Everything”
It all began one quiet evening in my grandfather’s old farmhouse. The air smelled of dust, wood, and forgotten time. I had come to clean the attic — a place no one had touched in decades. There were boxes full of newspapers, old letters, and family photographs.

The Engagement
A screeching cackle was heard outside the window. The treble within in it was shrill and sharp. Sitting alone with your legs folded on the couch, your ears perk up. Head turns and cold chills like pin pricks have your hairs erect. The blackout curtains do not really allow any insight as to the origin of such a sound. The couch is a forest green faded suede loveseat that you sit upon. Patterns of long periods of lounging are visible. The curtains are a similar hue. The walls are a dark and dull crimson painted only a few months prior. To the back of you sits a white 3 inch diameter candle, which is lit, as the soul source of light in the room.

Netflix Spins a New Hit with Monster series
Netflix subscribers have come a long way. Long ago we waited for our DVD to arrive in the mail to watch the latest flick. Then RedBox took over the new movies on DVD point of interest, and Netflix evolved into a subscription channel for anyone who could download the app or add the channel to their cable package. While some Netflix subscribers who are into Horror and Fantasy shows may still be patiently awaiting another season of "The Witcher" or "Stranger Things" (like me) we've had to find other shows to get on with, and I found the Monster series on Netflix an acceptable replacement along with "Wednesday" (the girl from the Addams family) which only aired 16 episodes at 2 seasons. Fans into Goth Theater like this kind of stuff, and Halloween lovers tend to enjoy the Horror Genre. It seems that Netflix is carving out a niche in the Horror and Fantasy genres by serving their subscribers a buffet of spooky entertainment. I'm satisfied, and applaud the Netflix Big Dogs for switching to Fan Servitude over stuff like "13 Reasons Why" which was simply too controversial.

MyWarlock Origin Story, or Why My DM Will Never Let Me Write Character Backstories Ever Again
When I entered the hovel I shared with Jackson, it was hard to miss the smell of brimstone in the air and the red light coming from the kitchen.
