Jenny's Horror Stories
Jenny usually felt plain. She thinks her life could completely exchange if she regarded distinct, perhaps like someone in a film. Her mother and father usually insist that she's lovely just the manner she is and that there is splendor in being her own unique character.

World best Horror Stories
It was disgustingly difficult for Oiwa to look at her father's dead body. It was the only thing that had ever been able to make her break free from her abusive marriage to samurai Iemon. And now, even as her husband and brother-in-law vowed to find the killer, she was stuck in her unhappy home with just Kohei, the household servant, to see her anguish.

The Haunting of Hollowbrook House
In the heart of the small, forgotten town of Hollowbrook, a menacing secret lay hidden within the decaying walls of an ancient mansion. For decades, Hollowbrook House had stood abandoned, shrouded in an air of foreboding. Many whispered tales of eerie apparitions and strange happenings that had occurred within its gloomy corridors. The locals knew better than to venture near the cursed structure, but one fateful night, a group of daring teenagers decided to test the legends that had plagued their town.

The Film That Scared Me Most as an Adult: Hereditary. Content Warning.
Trigger AND spoiler warning --- For much of my adult life, I didn't think very highly of the horror genre. I still enjoyed a good scary movie, but entire years seemed to go by without the slightest deviations from the standard old formulas. Each year brought with it a new onslaught of blockbusters with a recycled series of jump scares and ghastly looking ghosts, demons and ghouls. I'd grown to accept that the horror genre as a whole was something tired and contrived.

3 Iconic Horror Movies That Haven't Aged Well
I might be a bit of a modernist, but I'll always give credit where it's due. In the case of so many of history's most famous movies, sometimes a story can truly endure through the generations (The Shining, Alien, the best episodes of The Twilight Zone).

'Pet Sematary: Bloodlines' - A Cinematic Offbreed Fit to Its Name
I might've been fashionably late (by several decades) with my first Pet Sematary review. Being a 90s child, though, I suppose I have my excuses. But there's really no reason I couldn't at least grace the world with my thoughts on the 2019 remake before a pandemic swept the world. And for that, I owe you all an apology, and a promise to do better.

The Intrinsic Terror of 'Pet Sematary' (1989)
Of all of Stephen King's stories, perhaps none is more innately chilling than Pet Sematary. Where Stanley Kubrick's The Shining terrifies the viewer with its slow-rolling and measured portrayal of isolation in the sprawling Overlook Hotel, what director Mary Lambert's Pet Sematary provides is utterly visceral in its simplicity. Where The Shining opens to a car slowly winding its way up a desolate mountainside, Pet Sematary's introduction to the characters is marked by the abrasive passing of a speeding tanker. Pet Sematary is devoid of the subtletly that defined the Kubrick horror classic.

The 'Halloween Trilogy': Because 10 Halloween Movies Weren't Enough
Watching the new Halloween Trilogy is funny when you know Jamie Lee Curtis - not as the veteran actress who made her acting debut four and a half decades ago as Laurie Strode in the original 1978 Halloween movie - but as the rigid, hot dog-handed, mixed martial arts-trained, self-stapling tax attorney from Everything Everywhere All at Once. Even with a list of credits that stretches back to the days of Jimmy Carter's presidency, it's hard to unsee her for her role in that famously bizarre, interdimensional odyssey of a film.
