French Horror Has Me Entranced
I’ve come over all Gallic recently. For some time now, French horror seems to be leading the way when it comes to taking risks, courting controversy, while delivering some outstanding shocks and lingering torment!

I'm Sad We Will Never Get a Rated - R Jurassic Park
I recently started reading the Jurassic Park book, that I had no idea existed. I only read a couple of chapters, and now I'm so sad that we are never going to get a Rated - R Jurassic Park. The book starts off so strong, and I couldn't believe how violent these deaths were.

Horror in the High Desert 4: Majesty - A Frustrating Experience
My review of the first three films in the series can be found here. *** I'm officially frustrated. The long-awaited fourth and penultimate film in the Horror in the High Desert series, Majesty, adds little to pique interest in the overall lore. Instead, it becomes more tangled, adding more characters and lore that muddy the water even more instead of clarifying it. I defended the first three movies with the caveat that the last two movies needed to pick up the pace.

Fall of the House of Usher
I wrote this a while back when The Fall of the House of Usher first aired, but thought I’d post for those who haven’t seen it yet.

When Horror is Heard But Not Seen
It’s a common point of discussion amongst horror film fans: Is it better to see the monster or leave it up to the viewer’s imagination?

The Bug Attack from King Kong (2005) Will Traumatize Me Forever
I'm one of those horror fans who is a massive fan of the Monsterverse of Godzilla and King Kong. I have watched so many of these films already, and really enjoyed how brutal these beasts can be, going after anyone that would dare to mess with them.

My Dog Barks At The Same Blank Wall Every Night at 3 AM. I Finally Bought A Thermal Camera To See What He's Looking At. Max is a Golden Retriever. If you know anything about the breed, you know they don’t have a mean bone in their body. Max loves everyone. He loves the mailman, he loves the neighbors, he even loves the vet. He rarely barks.

My Apartment Building Only Has 10 Floors. The Elevator Just Stopped At Floor 11.
My Apartment Building Only Has 10 Floors. The Elevator Just Stopped At Floor 11. I’ve lived in the "Eclipse Towers" for five years. It’s a standard, boring concrete block in the city center. Ten floors. Four apartments per floor. I live on the 8th. I know every crack in the sidewalk and every stain on the carpet.

When the Chainsaw Was Born in Blood
Have you ever woken up in the dead of night, heart pounding, convinced something's just... off? Like the air's too still, or there's a shadow where there shouldn't be? Yeah, that gut-twisting moment hit me hard the other day when I stumbled across this old video from MrBallen-the guy who spins those strange, dark tales that stick with you long after the screen goes black. It got me thinking about how real life can out-creep any ghost story. You know, the kind of stuff that makes you double-check your locks. So, buckle up; I'm about to unpack three wild, true accounts from that vid, each one weirder and more unsettling than the last. Let's dive in, shall we?

December 25th Repeats
I wake up to bells. Not church bells—those stopped ringing years ago—but the cheap electronic chime of my alarm clock playing a distorted version of “Jingle Bells.” The sound drills straight into my skull. My eyes open before I can stop them.

The Carol That Knows Your Name
The first time it happened, I thought I was mishearing it. Christmas Eve had settled into the apartment like dust—quiet, soft, unavoidable. Outside, the city glowed in muted colors, strings of lights blinking in tired rhythms, as if even joy needed rest. I sat alone at the small kitchen table with a cup of reheated coffee, the radio murmuring to fill the silence. I always kept it on during holidays. Silence had a way of remembering things I tried not to.

The Night No One Heard the Screams: A Haunting Story of Silence, Shadows, and the Questions That Still Linger
Introduction: When Silence Became the Loudest Witness Some nights slip quietly into history, leaving no trace beyond a date on a calendar. Others linger, heavy with unanswered questions and a silence so deep it feels deliberate. The Night No One Heard the Screams belongs to the second kind. It’s a phrase that chills the spine because it suggests something went terribly wrong—yet nothing stopped it. No neighbors called. No alarms rang. No sirens broke the darkness in time.
