Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Prince of Darkness' (1987)
Cosmic Horror developed from the idea that there are measurable forces, tangible entities, and connected realities, all of which are scientifically feasible. This actually has been a bit of an issue with horror in general. There really isn't a need to have tangibility in horror. Why does Michael Myers keep getting back up? Is it some mystical force? Sure! It could be anything. It could be demons, the spirit of Samhain, evil incarnate, whatever. It honestly doesn't always need an explanation. That was my critique of The Hallow (2015). Sometimes scientific plausibility kills the mood of horror.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Man-Thing' (2005)
So, I should start off by saying, this movie was released a full three years before the MCU really took root with Iron Man (2008). It seems like they were exploring concepts and how seriously fans might take the material pulled from the comics. I guess they figured it couldn't hurt to throw Man-Thing on the table just to see how it would be received. But this movie never got any spotlight. I mean, Man-Thing is one of my favorite Marvel Creations and I heard nothing about this movie. I didn't even know it existed until the day before this review. It's like Marvel's dirty little secret, and I can tell you why. It's BAAAAAAAAD. Ho-Ly-Fuck is it BAD. It's like a series of laughable tropes strung together in such a way you'd think a 12yo wrote it. It's kinda like Frankensein's Army (2013). That movie was like if 12yo me was given the clearance to write a script for a movie, and this movie was no different.

THE BELL WITCH
The haunting began sometime in 1817 when John Bell witnessed the apparition of a strange creature resembling a dog with the head of a rabbit. Bell fired at the animal but it disappeared. John's son Drew Bell approached an unknown bird perched on a fence that flew off and was of "extraordinary size." The daughter Betsy observed a girl in a green dress swinging from the limb of an oak tree. Dean, a person enslaved by the Bell family, reported being followed by a large black dog on evenings he visited his wife. Activity moved to the Bell household with knocking heard along the door and walls. The family heard sounds of gnawing on the beds, invisible dogs fighting, and chains along the floor. About this time John Bell began experiencing paralysis in his mouth.[3] The phenomena grew in intensity as sheets were pulled from beds when the children slept. Soon the entity pulled hair and scratched the children with particular emphasis on Betsy who was slapped, pinched and stuck with pins.[4]

"The Haunting Echo of Forbidden Love"
Once upon a chilling night in the small village of Ravenscroft, whispers of a ghostly presence echoed through the narrow cobblestone streets. The tale began with a dilapidated mansion perched atop the hill, its dark silhouette casting an ominous shadow over the entire village.
