The Polish Painter Who Created Nightmarish, Untitled Paintings
Zdzisław Beksiński was a Polish painter, photographer, and sculptor. He became famous for his unconventional paintings and photography that had elements of dystopia and surrealism. Even though his art and photography were criticized by many conventional painters and photographers of his times, he continued to refine his trademark existential style.

Child of the Witch
The shop windows of Orwell Steel flared bright red. Inside, men in charred denim jackets, some wearing thick leather vests or aprons, stared with black reflective goggles into coal fires and blazing welding torches. Classic rock tunes played loudly from an old brown speaker mounted in a high corner of the shop. Men on duty gave complete attention to their work, never looking up from the screaming torches in their thick gloved hands.

The Owl of St Barnabas. Runner-Up in Return of the Night Owl Challenge.
We lived in the city when I was a child in the 1980s. It was and old industrial city that hadn’t changed much since the 1800s. There were new buildings here and there but that was in the centre, where I grew up much of the old mills and warehouses still stood alongside the old tenement buildings. We lived in one of them. It had been converted in the 1950s but it still looked tired. My parents had done a great job making it homely but to a young boy it’s lack of outdoor space was always a problem. There was no green space around us for me to play in and though on Sundays, when they were both off work, my parents would try their best to find me somewhere to play it was short lived. During the week there was nothing for me, especially during the school holidays. As I got older I began to wander and soon I found the only grass anywhere near me. The churchyard of St Barnabas’ became my quiet place, my countryside.

10 Best Horror Movies to Watch on Netflix
I’m a big fan of horror movies. When I was 6, I asked my dad if I could watch Child’s Play. Well, I didn’t just ask him, I annoyed the hell out of him until he said yes. It was love at first sight. Since then, I’ve been watching every single suspenseful, eerie, scary, supernatural, or however you wanna call them, a movie I can.

A Definitive Ranking of "The Conjuring" Franchise
The Conjuring. Whether or not you like horror movies, audiences everywhere have been captivated by the franchise. James Wan first introduced audiences to the saga in 2013, with the first film, rightly named “The Conjuring”. Since then, seven more movies have been released in the universe, and at least two more are known to be in talks of production. The main draw to the films is no doubt their connection to Lorrain and Ed Warren. Ed, a famed demonologist, and Lorrain, a skilled psychic medium, have taken on hundreds of cases throughout their lengthy career. Some include the Amityville Horror house, the Smurl haunting, and The Snedeker House ( best known from the film The Haunting in Connecticut, though not a part of The Conjuring franchise).

The Word in “Hereditary”
The world is made of language. The word is primary, more primary than the speed of light, more primary than any of the physical constants that are assumed by science to be the bedrock of reality. — Terence McKenna, Shamans Among The Machines

Fragments of Horror by Junji Ito
From time to time there appears a person endowed with an intellect far above the average, someone capable of seeing things that normal man can barely observe. I am not referring to a superior being from an evolutionary point of view, but to that individual endowed with a special gift, to his or her ability to cross borders with his or her thinking.

I Don’t Believe in Ghosts, But
I grew up in the ’80s and ’90s and was much more interested in comedies or movies of youth like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off or Breakfast Club. And although I enjoyed sci-fi movies like Back to the Future or Ghostbusters, it was more for the acting, special effects, and the fact they poked fun at the entire paranormal or supernatural sci-fi genre.

Meet 10 Surreal Artists Who Are Bringing Your Nightmares To Life
Terror aficionados across the globe know that true horror is about so much more than the obvious dark, gore-laden atmosphere that you’ve come to expect from the genre. It can be conveyed through many different mediums, such as light and colour; so that a bright scene with one minute but glaringly askew detail can suddenly change and take on a more sinister tone.

Torso
The day had actually been a very nice one until we found the body. The sun had been shining; perfect day for fishing, Edison had commented, and Harker had joked that it was still up for debate--Edison might scare them away with his balding mug peeking over the edge of the boat. Edison had made a sour face, but finally acquiesced, laughing with us as we three headed down to the lakeside.
