Fear of the Dark. Top Story - September 2023.

Blood
It starts with breathing. The air is stale and musty, like a house locked against the ravages of years. The more I take in, the more pronounced the undercurrent: damp, dark, dank, earth.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Hollow Man' (2000)
OH MY GOD, THIS MOVIE WAS SO FUCKING BORING!!! I sware to god it should have failed my 30-minute rule, but technically something was always happening in the first 30 minutes. But fuck technical, the goddamn plot doesn't kick off till about the halfway mark. I mean, this movie is basically just a remake of The Invisible Man (1933). That movie gets rolling right from the punch. Mad scientist turns himself invisible and basically lets the power go to his head. That whole setup takes, what... 10 minutes? Not even? In this movie, over thirty fucking minutes are devoted to exposition before Kevin Bacon starts the rape and murder. Speed it the fuck up! Superpowers went to his megalomaniacal brain, the chemicals caused him to lose his mind, maybe a little from column A and column B, WHATEVER, just fucking get there!

Prey
Her blood-curdling scream echoed through the woods; startled birds leapt from their branches, soaring into the sky above. Blood pounded in her ears as Amy stood trembling, frozen in agony at the perpetual fear of looking down. White hot pain shook her body; nausea quickly followed. She refused to look, temporarily paralysed with shock. Unaware she was swaying, her eyes rolled, threatening to send her tumbling to the forest floor. She gritted her teeth, forcing every agonised breath between them and focused on not passing out.

Dev's Haunting Symphony
An ancient, decaying home had long been abandoned in the calm, scenic hamlet of Willowbrook, situated deep behind a lush forest. Locals told of horrible tragedies that had transpired within its crumbling walls, earning it the dark title "The Devil's Manor." It had stood as a testimony to dread and superstition for years, wrapped in an eerie quiet that sent shivers down the spines of those who ventured to approach.

In The Mirror
She keeps looking at me; that strange woman in the mirror. Her intense gaze seems to pierce my soul. She only ever vanishes when I turn away. Which means she must be me.
