vintage
Special effects may be lacking, but vintage horror films still manage to keep our palms sweating and blood pumping; a look back at retro horror films, stories, books and characters that prove everything is scarier in black and white.
The Haunted Mansion
Introduction The small town of Foxwood was tucked away in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. It was a peaceful place with a population of just over 2,000 people. The town was known for its picturesque scenery and quaint atmosphere. However, there was one thing that the locals knew about Foxwood that the tourists never did – it was home to a haunted mansion.The mansion was an imposing structure that sat atop a hill overlooking the town. It had been abandoned for decades and was said to be haunted by the ghost of its former owner, a wealthy industrialist. The locals whispered stories about the mansion and the strange things that went on within its walls. Some said that the ghost was in search of something, while others believed that it was simply looking for a way to pass the time.

The Forgotten Village
Deep in the heart of a dense forest, there lies a small village that has been long forgotten by the outside world. The village, named Ravenswood, was once a thriving community, with a bustling market, a school, and a church. But something happened, something terrible, that caused the villagers to abandon their homes and flee into the surrounding woods, never to be seen again.

Dark Shadows: Beyond the Grave Review
Over time, the Dark Shadows audios from Big Finish Productions have built up from their rather humble beginnings into huge sprawling arcs. Whereas the early Dramatised Readings were isolated chamber pieces with only one or two actors, the range has since expanded to feature much larger casts of characters, and more complex storylines that feel closer to Dark Shadows' roots as a soap opera than those early storylines did. This culminated in 2013's run of releases: a series of stories set in 1973 that, while focusing on individual characters, built up a wider threat to the inhabitants of Collinsport. This storyline came to its zenith with "Beyond the Grave", a story that is perhaps unlike any other Dark Shadows audio, before or since. Told through found footage, this release really pushes at the bounds of what a Dark Shadows episode looks like, and probably goes beyond them in many ways. As such, it ends up being perhaps the single most scary Big Finish audio in the company's mammoth discography, which is quite the feet considering the number of scary stories the company has released.

distorted reality
What should I do? I previously discovered a secret passageway, and the door to it has since vanished. I have already tried looking for the catch while pretending to drink from my water glass with one hand hidden behind my back. Now all of the painted wall is just a single solid panel. That access point has been blocked! I use the opportunity to toss my head around while brushing my hair in an effort to give the impression of composure while frantically searching every corner of the room for additional ideas.
