Rapt in Plastic
1993 was the year we discovered not who killed Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee)—we had already learned that a year or two previously, if memory serves. After her killer was revealed, her homicidally incestuous entanglement with demon-possessed father Leland (Ray Wise) came to an end, leaving the series, which had hinged on this particular salient plot point, feeling adrift, and soon to be given the unceremonious axe. What was left over, the remains, though not as their mysterious, tragic, all-American, blue-tinged beauty Laura might suggest, were not washed up on a riverbank, wrapped in plastic, but would go on to become one of the cult hit television oddities of all time.

Again
Again Memory breaks. Reality repeats By Joey Raines The toilet handle had been broken so long that it had become part of the house. A crooked piece of metal, hanging uselessly, unmoving. For weeks, he ignored it. For months, he allowed it to remain the same. Until one night, he finally decided to fix it.

A wicked man
The candle burned low in the cramped room, casting long shadows over the peeling wallpaper. Vanya sat hunched at the table, his fingers trembling over a half-written parchment. His stomach ached - not from hunger, though he had not eaten - but from the weight of a thought he dared not speak aloud.

The road below
Chapter One — The Engine of Damnation The road did not end. At midnight, when the last stretch of blacktop split open into ash and fire, the Trans Am carried Elias across the threshold. The tires shrieked, sparks spitting from the rims, but the car didn’t falter. The wheel vibrated beneath his grip, alive, trembling like a beast that had caught the scent of blood.

Voices
It’s a demon, he thought. It has to be. For the past week, he had had migraine-like headaches which he believed was a supernatural occurrence. This spirit, had gained entry to his mind, and now it wanted to get out, but it couldn’t, so banged away at his skull in an attempt to find an exit, rather like a spider in a bath, unaware of the plughole from which it came. He took all the pills he could without overdosing, but they didn’t work. He tried to convince himself that the voice inside was his own conscience, but concluded that a demon had taken over, and demanded to be let out. It didn’t possess him enough to control his actions, but it still resided in his mind.

Whispers of the Forgotten: A Descent into Eldoria Manor
Season 1 Whispers of the Forgotten: A Descent into Eldoria Manor Chapter 1 The wind howled its mournful song, a dirge for the dying day and the ancient secrets it stirred. Eldoria Manor stood silhouetted against a bruise-purple sky, a monolithic scar on the horizon, its skeletal chimneys clawing at the clouds. Locals whispered of its blight, of the unspeakable acts that stained its foundations, but for Professor Alistair Finch, a seasoned parapsychologist with more skeptical victories than genuine encounters, Eldoria represented a new kind of challenge .. a legacy he couldn't afford to ignore.

What is Splatterpunk Horror?
I always forget that splatterpunk horror is a thing. It’s a genre that stands for extreme, graphic violence, that is meant to test the viewer to see how much they can handle when it comes to huge amounts of gore.

Make - Up (2019) is an Interesting Experiment that Pretends to be a Horror Film
I kept hearing from fans online that Make - Up was a pretty good horror film. I had been wanting to watch it for a long time, and I finally got the opportunity when I discovered the film on Tubi. After watching the film, I have learned one thing: Make - Up is not a horror film.
