'Psycho' (1960)—A Movie Review
Oh, look, pull up right here! Hmm, The Bates Motel. Sounds like a cozy place to rest for the night. Running away with stolen money, Marion Crane is in a struggle between right and wrong. Driving along the roads on a rainy evening, it isn’t until stopping at The Bates Motel when everything takes a dark turn of events.

Carrie (1976): The Real Reasons This Film Is So Scary
Hey, mean girls! If you pull a horrific prank the shy girl at prom, don't be surprised is she burns the whole school to the ground. That's what a shy girl did in the horror classic Carrie. Based on Stephen King's novel, Carrie is about a girl who gets bullied in school and terrified by her Bible-thumping mother. Over time, she develops telekinesis and uses that to seek revenge on the people who tortured her.

Addams's Deception
Dear Readers. When Charles Addams created The Addams Family, he portrayed the characters as lovers of the dark side of nature. That’s why I believe IMDb classifies The Addams Family as a 2019 3D computer-animated comedy-horror film. I however do not see the horror. Instead, there is the unoriginal homage to the concept that ordinary people are the real monsters. With Halloween night being near, it is fair to say that we expected more macabre then corny puns.

'Eli' (2018)
Do you know what happened to the boy who asked too many questions? He got answers? Eli is a horror you can watch on Netflix, and it’s not bad at all. But it takes a long time before the conclusion in the story surprises you completely. The introductory part reminded me a bit of Midnight Special. A very young boy whose daily life is limited to a plastic-insulated room and who can’t leave the house without wearing a weird looking sort of spacesuit. Apparently Eli (Charlie Shotwell) developed an autoimmune disease at a later age and exposure to outside air and sunlight is life-threatening to him. Together with his parents, Rose (Kelly "10X10" Reilly) and Paul (Max “Spectral” Martini), he’s on his way to the only rescue that remains for him. A completely sterilized old mansion (a house that looks like a typical haunted house) where Dr. Horn (Lili Taylor) applies a specific gene therapy to treat medical cases such as Eli.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Children of the Corn' (1984)
You know... for such a great classic, its two central themes really just don't make any sense. Not the whole evil children thing. But maybe it's a part of that?

Top 9 Underrated Vampire Movies
Vampires are cool. Vampire movies might just be a little cooler. In honour of Spooktober, I'm gonna count down the top nine movies about vampires because I want to talk about vampires, and I feel that vampires don't get the credit and attention that they deserve! Also, I'm not going to talk about any of the Dracula movies, because hot take: EVERY DRACULA MOVIE IS BAD. Gary Oldman has a terrible wig in the Coppola one, aside from Bela Lugosi's performance, the original is boring, and I haven't seen Dracula Untold, but somehow I doubt it will change my mind. So without further ado, Vampire Movies.

Horror Movies
Personally, I like to celebrate Halloween the entire month of October. I like to get in the spooky mood by watching horror movies. You can basically find them anywhere; Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Disc, and they tend to release in theaters around this time as well. While this list isn’t ranked, I do think these are the best of the horror movies.

'Little Monsters' (2019)
Can we play the shooty game, Uncle David? I don’t want us to get in trouble, Felix. We’ll have to play it with the sound off.

11 Best Horror Movies from the 1950s. Top Story - October 2019.
The 1950s were a period of time where horror started to become a part of the consciousness of the American population. It wasn't quite something that was taken seriously as it would become in the 1960s, but it was still certainly fun. In this blog, I'll be talking about the best 11 horror movies from that beginning era. They're not entirely in order, except for the first one.

10 Netflix Originals Perfect for Halloween Night
Since I'm too old to go trick or treating now... I usually find myself watching a horror movie to celebrate October 31st. I also don't want to pay extra for my night in. Which is why I felt the need to make a list of 10 Netflix exclusive Horror movies (okay, it's mostly movies, there are also a couple of t.v. shows and a collection of short stories from different animators). The good news is that these are all Netflix Originals! So no matter what country you are in, these titles should be available to you on Netflix. Hope you liked to get scared. Happy Halloween!
