The Cursed Ornament
The Hammond family’s Christmas tree was always the centerpiece of their holiday celebrations. Each year, they would decorate it with lights, garlands, and a collection of ornaments that had been passed down through generations. Among them was the family’s most treasured piece: a glass ornament shaped like a star, with intricate swirls of gold and silver encased within. It was said to bring good luck, a sentiment echoed by every Hammond who had ever hung it on the tree—until this year.

The Midnight Carolers
The town of Black Hollow was known for its picturesque snowfalls and cozy, candlelit streets during the holiday season. Every December, families hung wreaths on their doors, children built snowmen in the park, and the air was filled with the sweet aroma of roasted chestnuts from street vendors. But Black Hollow had one peculiar tradition that no one dared to question: when the Midnight Carolers came to sing, you stayed inside.

The Wreath of Whispers
It was the first snowfall of December when the Harrisons decided to pull out the Christmas decorations. The family had moved into the old Victorian house just two weeks prior, drawn by its charm and too-good-to-be-true price. The creaky floorboards and drafty windows didn’t bother them; in fact, they found the quirks endearing. For Sarah and David, it was the perfect place to raise their two children, Emily and Ben.

Terrifier 3 Becomes the Highest-Grossing Unrated Movie Ever
It's always refreshing when, in the era of blockbuster franchises and rated films dominating the box office, a little success story comes along to challenge conventional norms. Especially if this happens to be a little one that dares to break loose from genre expectations. Terrifier 3, the third in a series of horror movies made by Damien Leone, did exactly that. It became the highest-grossing unrated movie of all time, shattering box office records.

10 Vampire (and Vampiric Creatures) Movies and TV Shows!
1. Nosferatu (1922) Count Orlok (Max Schreck) is a sinister man, or whatever it is, but despite this, there is something sad about the vampire-man. Orlok seems cursed, maybe even diseased — a theme elaborated upon more by Werner Herzog's re-telling of this tale in 1979 (more on that later). It's also fairly common knowledge that "Nosferatu" was almost a lost film, and not just due to random ravages of time. "Dracula" author Bram Stoker's heirs had successfully sued to have F. W. Murnau's film destroyed, but some copies sneakily survived, which is why we can still enjoy this movie today.

Evil Elf On Shelf
It started innocently enough. The tiny elf doll arrived in a box adorned with cheerful holiday decorations and a handwritten note. The note simply read: “To bring joy and mischief to your home, the Elf on the Shelf has come. Keep him on display and let the holiday magic unfold.”

The Curse of the Christmas Ornament
Snow blanketed the small town of Wicker's Hollow, transforming its cobblestone streets and rustic homes into a picturesque holiday postcard. The Johnson family had just moved into an old Victorian house, inherited from a distant relative they had barely known. Excited to start fresh, they decided to celebrate their first Christmas in the new home with flair.

REVIEW: Possum
I've been on something of a horror trip lately, catching up not only on recent releases but several from the last few years which I'd never quite got round to watching. Possum is a 2018 film written and directed by Matthew Holness, based on his earlier short story published in The New Uncanny (which I now simply must get hold of and read). If, like me, you know Holness best as his alter ego Garth Marenghi (author, prophet, dreamweaver) then Possum is entirely unlike the kind of horror film you'd expect from him. Garth Marenghi's Darkplace was a ludicrously over-the-top, deliberately hammy, parodic horror series. Possum, in contrast, is utterly humourless. It's quite astonishingly grim and serious in its presentation and subject matter.

The Real Haunted Story Of Grunsfoort
Castle Grunsfort, which was located in close proximity to Rankham, was the residence of a young princess who was known for her resourcefulness. Even as a little kid, she was so nasty that she bit the midwife in the thumb when she was being baptized. This was the beginning of her filthy behavior. This was the beginning of her conduct that was quite cruel. Her decision to not wear boots on the day of her baptism was based on the fact that she did not want to risk getting her shoes dirty. Due to the fact that she was of the view that the cemetery was filthy, she instructed her employees to weave silky white carpets to cover the ground wherever she walked in the town. She did this because she believed that the cemetery was disgusting. She worked hard to avoid going there as much as she could and did all in her ability to do so. In spite of the fact that both of her parents had died away, she moved forward with her plans without any hesitation.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Near Dark' (1987)
Okay, so it's a stretch to call Near Dark (1987) 'Horror.' Just because something has vampires in it, doesn't necessarily make it horror. I mean, True Romance (1993) has pretty much the same premise without vampires, and that's just an Action Romance. It's like my review of World War Z (2013). The Zombies could have been replaced by Terrorists and it would have changed fuck all about the plot. Well, here we could replace Vampires with Rival Gang, or Enemy in a war. It could be the exact same story and nothing would fundamentally change.
