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.
Secret File: The Case of the Hyphael Cult - Part I. Content Warning.
The city was an unforgiving, unwelcome jungle of concrete and sludge, rich and poor, heaven and hell. And most of its denizens were in hell, but unlike the biblical counterpart, these human devils were able to just tilt their head up and see the clean glinting lines of heaven above, its angelic looking citizens more purely heinous than the devils of the slums could ever be.

Horror Stories of Ghosts
In the dense woods of a forgotten town lay a haunted manor that locals feared even to look at after dusk. Known as the Grimsby House, the manor was said to be cursed by the spirit of a young bride, Eleanor, who had met a tragic fate on her wedding night over a hundred years ago. The story told that Eleanor had been left at the altar by her beloved, who disappeared without a trace. Heartbroken and humiliated, she wandered the darkened halls of the manor that night, in her wedding dress, until morning, when she was found dead in the attic. Some say she took her own life, while others claim she died of heartbreak, but from that day on, her restless spirit was bound to the house, yearning for answers.

The Night It Knocked
There was only one rule: never answer the door after dusk. That was what old man Corman told us when we moved into the crumbling farmhouse at the edge of town. A relic, he called it—a place that had seen too much. He was serious, too, his wrinkled hands trembling as he leaned in close, his breath a mix of whiskey and fear.

Beneath the Surface
There was only one rule: don’t look in the mirror after midnight. Simple, they said. Harmless, even. But we knew better. The house was older than the town itself, standing like a sentinel at the end of a long, narrow road. We’d inherited it from some distant relative, one whose name no one cared to speak of. When we first arrived, the whispers had already begun. People warned us, with eyes that darted nervously, about the mirrors. About the nights when the moon hung low and silvered the windows like frost.

The Whispering Shadows
It was a cold autumn evening when I received the letter. There was no return address, just my name scrawled in thick black ink. Intrigued, I opened it to find an invitation to visit an old manor on the outskirts of town—a place I had never heard of before. The letter claimed I was the inheritor of an estate that had belonged to a distant relative. Curiosity got the better of me, and against my better judgment, I decided to visit.

We Never Did. Top Story - October 2024.
There was one rule: don't open the door. That one rule overshadowed our lives since we had moved into our makeshift annexe of a home—not that our lives were much at all. Pariahs, outcasts, we were designed for destruction and existed for experimentation and extermination. Though we lived in fear of our sorry mortal coils being unwound, we tried to live positively.
