House of Dark Shadows
"Dark Shadows," as almost everybody knows, was a short-lived though wildly successful cult gothic television soap opera that aired in the late sixties, getting canceled comfortably one year before this feature film was made. It was the immensely long and rambling saga of the Collins family, who were haunted by an endless variety of gothic horror tropes, from the iconic vampire Barnabas (played so excellently by the quintessential bloodsucker Jonathan Frid) to the green-skinned Frankensteinian Adam (Robert Rodan); to werewolves, ghosts, demons, witches, and what-have-you. "Shadows" danced all the gothic, Lovecraftian, Stokerian, and Poesque skeletons out of the closet, played with them awhile, got bored, and then put them back before moving on to a new story arc. Stephen King, in the pages of his horror monograph Danse Macabre, called it a "Mad Hatter's tea party." He was not far off.

The Eerie of Shivalaya Sanctuary
In the core of a failed to remember town, settled in the midst of murmuring trees and repeating quietness, stood the old Shivalaya Sanctuary. Its endured stones demonstrated the veracity of hundreds of years of petitions and contributions, yet underneath its tranquil exterior prowled a story saturated with fear.

First Ghost. Content Warning.
The myth of ghosts has been a fascinating and diverse topic across cultures and centuries. It dates back to ancient civilizations such as Egypt and Mesopotamia, where spirits were believed to linger in the earthly realm after death. In Greek mythology, spirits of the deceased wandered the underworld, while in Norse mythology, the spirits of the dead resided in Valhalla or Hel. Across Asia, beliefs in ghosts varied widely, from vengeful spirits seeking justice to benevolent ancestors watching over their descendants.

Campfire Horror 5. Content Warning.
He wasn't much of a talker. Usually, he would only mumble a simple "Hi Ashley" His voice was barely audible above a whisper. However, his gaze would linger on Ashley for too long, almost like a moth drawn to the light. He never gave her a malicious look but a shy admiration.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Friday the 13th' the franchise.. Content Warning.
I'm gonna defend this fucking movie... Yes, this franchise eventually gave us Jason in Space (2002). But it's an old-fashioned slasher flick that really is underappreciated for what it was. Because the first in the series was actually well thought out, and even pretty solid by modern horror standards.
