LEOPARD- I laid on my stomach sinking my teeth into the juicy goat before me. Each bite was tastier than the last as I ripped the skin and flesh off of my dead prey. I paused, sensing someone coming.

Reel Wild Cinema (1995-97)
The Mid-Nineties were a time of relative ease, strangely, on the American landscape. Despite race riots, political scandals, the uprooting of cultural mores, and the gradual emergence of mass casualty violence in the form of domestic terror and school shootings, it was, by and large, still a period where American preeminence was unchallenged, a fixity on the world stage, one that could be relied upon. I lived in a little blue house, under a vast, sprawling Midwestern blue sky, at the edge of farm fields and on a street with well-clipped lawns. And I thought I was PUNK.

Whispering Pines Memorial Forest
“It is my pleasure to unveil an innovation in burial services.” The investors looked uncomfortable as they sat in the hot sun on the edge of John’s latest investment. When the tech mogul had bought five hundred acres of swamp land, people had speculated that he meant to build another factory for his microchips. Tech magazines had floated the idea of everything from warehouses to a new robotics division and everything in between, but none of them could have guessed his intentions. His stock price had doubled since the announcement, and investors seemed to be holding their breath to see what would come out of Yomite Solutions this season.

5 Cerebral Gore Films Featuring Women: When Slasher Meets Women's Horror. Top Story - January 2024.
Horror has a long history of murdering its woman characters. This happens because horror films uphold the gender ideology that women are far less superior to men. One might argue that the lack of a woman’s gaze or relatable women characters leads many women spectators to not fall in love with the slasher genre. While Carol Clover’s coined Final Girl trope might make women pumped up about seeing a woman survive a horror film, that doesn’t mean all women would identify with the Final Girl (especially if she’s written stereotypically). I’ve discovered that there’s a new horror genre: a genre that combines slasher, cerebral (psychological horror), or women’s horror that is often directed, written, produced, and/or starring women. Coined by Amy Jane Vosper comes a new hybrid horror genre: cerebral gore.

REVENANTS
Thomas Munro journeyed deeper into the forest and the everlasting night. The village of his beloved Catherine couldn’t be much farther now. But he had been foolish. Rather than stop at the inn a few miles back, he’d chosen, instead, to continue his journey, arrogantly believing he could arrive just before nightfall. Catherine, his sweet and fair fiancee, had been right about him: he was indeed a very daft man.

The Unseen Santa
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. Little did the Thompson family know that this Christmas Eve would be unlike any other.
