The House That Waited for Winter
Elliot Crane didn’t plan to stop that day. He had been driving aimlessly through the Vermont countryside, the late November air thin and gray, searching for something he couldn’t name. The trees stood bare, skeletal, and the sky had that flat white color that promised snow.

100-Word Scary Movie Reviews. Top Story - October 2025.
Down a Dark Hall (2018), Director: Rodrigo Cortes If somebody asks me what this movie is about, I just say, “I have no idea.” I try to look past a low IMDB score because maybe it’s wrong. Down a Dark Hall is a scattered story that makes no sense. The main reason why I watched this film was for its cast. AnnaSophia Robb, Uma Thurman, and Isabelle Fuhrman are all talented actresses. They do their best with a confusing script that was in the dark from when it first began. Rodrigo Cortes had a promising direction and a good story at heart, but not much effort was enforced.

When Edgar Allan Poem Met Elizabeth Barrett Brownie
The mansion was dark. From dusk until dawn, virtually none of the thirteen rooms were ever lit, even though both residents were routinely up all night.

The Slumber Party Massacre
A pretty tepid entry in the realm of Eighties slasher cinema, The Slumber Party Massacre at least delivers what the title suggests — a massacre at a slumber party. As Edgar Allan Poe proclaimed, “Only this, and nothing more.”

SEASON 2 : Whispers from the Lantern: The Keeper's Lament
Chapter 3 The drive back to the mainland was a tense and silent one. The team, a group of hardened professionals, were now a group of terrified children. The whispers from the lantern room were still in their minds, a constant, low murmur of sorrow and grief.

Bates Motel is the Perfect Horror TV Show
I remember how awesome this show was the first time I watched it back in 2018. I had started college for the first time, and when I had some free time to spare, I would immediately go back to watching this show. I knew that Bates Motel was great, and the hype was definitely 100% deserved.

Halloween Killer
Halloween is a special time of year, it means free candy and dressing up as your favourite fictional character. It is a holiday especially loved by those who love horror. However, once upon a time in Saint Francis, Milwaukee, there was a murder in the 31st of October unlike anything anyone had ever seen. A strange call was picked up by the police that night, at exactly 9:35pm. There had been a teenage house party that had already gotten out of control, young women were screaming in the background of the telephone call as the caller cried; "oh my god, there's been murder in my house! Somebody dressed in a Halloween mask and blue overalls, looking like something out of a horror film!" "Slow down, remain calm!" The operator breathed, "how many are injured?" "Injured?! Somebody's dead here!" "But nobody else was hurt?" "No!" "Ok... What happened?" "I think it was a guy, it might've been a girl, I don't know! They- they were dressed up head to toe, I couldn't make them out beneath their stupid Halloween costume." "You said they wore a mask, can you describe it to me?" "Ok, ok..." The caller calmed down, but the people in the background still cried and yelled in terror. "It was green, like a glow in the dark hockey mask... I think." "Ok, that's a good start. Is the killer still in the house with you?!" "I- I- I don't know!" The caller screamed. "Ok, lock you and your guests in a secure room. Please tell us your address and no matter what, stay on the line!" "Ok... Ok!" The caller told his address, then said, "everyone follow me, we got to hide someplace safe!" "Where are you all now?" The operator asked after a few minutes. "We're all in my bathroom, I locked the door." "Is the lock good?" "Not really." The caller sighed. "Well don't worry, we've sent two police cruisers to your home address, you must stay on the line but remain quiet until help arrives, do you understand?" "Yes..." The caller whispered, nervously.

Whispers Beneath the Willow. AI-Generated.
There was a willow tree at the edge of the village — tall, ancient, and always trembling, even when the wind was still. No one went near it after dark. The elders said the roots were tangled around something not meant to be disturbed.

The Mothman: The Winged Omen of Point Pleasant
It began with red eyes in the dark. Not glowing like flashlights, not reflecting like animal eyes... they burned, steady and unnatural, staring out from the abandoned TNT plant on a cold West Virginia night in 1966.

Echoes of the Forgotten. AI-Generated.
The village of Ravencroft had a secret. Not the kind whispered at night or scrawled in diaries, but one that lived in the shadows of every abandoned house, every overgrown path, every cracked cobblestone.

Kuchisake-Onna: The Terrifying History of Japan's Slit-Mouthed Woman
Of all the terrifying Japanese characters of folklore, the Kuchisake-Onna, or the "Slit-Mouthed Woman," is maybe the most terrifying and enduring. Her story is a complex blend of ancient myth and modern urban legend, a ghost whose history is as vague and malleable as the black it is said to haunt.

Homicidal
Homicidal (1961), along with Psycho (1960), and—God help us—Ed Wood’s Glen or Glenda (1953) [1], expose the societal prohibitions of the era regarding gender-bending, transvestism, and the basic flaunting of societal conventions, especially as it relates to identifiable sex roles and how a person identifies, gender-wise. We have the same debate raging today, the same sense of taboo and the same prejudices played out on a much more open and more furious scale—also with a greater sense of understanding and acceptance. William Castle, the famed provocateur and impresario who shocked the heinies of Eisenhower-era America by wiring their theater seats for The Tingler (starring the always incredible horror thespian par excellence Vincent Price), here delivers a passable little thriller readymade to ride the coattails of the box-office success enjoyed by Psycho, which had the cross-dressing Norman, who imitated a woman for a reason entirely unrelated to actual transvestism.
