Like any kid, I liked Halloween as much as you’re supposed to. Come October 1st, I picked out a wacky costume, geared up for thirty or so days and then walked the streets filling a bag or bucket with candy that would probably only get half eaten. Then, on November 1st, it was over, I …

Look, it’s pretty simple, I was just a kid who was 9 about to turn 10 in the summer of 1993 when the movie Jurassic Park was released. Every fiber of my being was primed for its arrival. Hell, I was even reading the novel by Michael Crichton to get my proverbial fix before the …
Greetings friends, my name is N.R. Van Slambrouck and I, as much as anybody, want to see the long, oft-rumored Guillermo del Toro Haunted Mansion film.

It feels a perfect fit for those who are attracted to the mysterious and mesmerizing! “Supernatural” is about the surreal chemistry of love and desire, and the intense magic of it when equally-matched.

My name is Heath and I am from Nashville, TN. Ever since I was young, I loved horror films. I grew up on Freddy and Jason, but also fell in love with many other ’80s horror films by renting them from our local Family Video based solely on the VHS cover art. One aspect of …

In 2007, I took a vacation to a small green cabin in Northern Michigan. The setting inspired me, and I wrote most of the first draft of The Haunting of Cabin Green: A Modern Gothic Horror Novel while sitting inside the cabin. During the next 10 years, I launched a career as a Dark Art …
