Far Cry 5 — Haunted House
I’m a big fan of the Far Cry games, but I have to admit, my interest in Far Cry 5 was almost exclusively this haunted house. ;) Snaps of My Journey Through the Game
The Strange, Sad Saga of Alphonso DeNoble
Rondo Hatton (1894-1946) — an actor whose facial and bodily features were distorted by a condition called acromegaly — was tastelessly touted in the 1940s as the only movie monster who didn’t need makeup. He typically played characters with names like The Creeper, Moloch the Brute, and Mario the Monster Man. Three decades later, Los …
Demons & Possession with Ed
Ed and I are seated at a campfire, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. All around us, thick copses of trees, barely perceptible in the dark. If we focus our gazes up long enough, we can see the stars. I am sitting opposite him across the fire, contemplating making another s’more, and he’s watching me, …
Conversations with Ed
Hello! I’m Jen the Strange, and I am here to translate some information from my good friend Ed (not alive, RIP) who is here to answer some questions about ghosts, life, the afterlife, and everything in between. Let me introduce Ed. Ed is a musician and a writer, but I think he is especially fond …

The Suffocating Horror of ‘In a Glass Cage’
There was no logical reason that I feared iron lungs as a child. The medical devices were not in wide use during my lifetime; I certainly never knew anyone who used one. Still, I was both repelled and fascinated by the very idea of a machine that did your breathing for you and kept you …
The Forgotten Frankenstein Sitcom of 1979
CBS had no shortage of classic prime time comedies in the 1970s. This was the era of All in the Family, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, M*A*S*H, and more. For some reason, though, the network just couldn’t get a foothold on Wednesday nights. It became a veritable Bermuda Triangle of comedy, with show after show …
The Scariest Video Games of All Time
Of all the ranking lists I’ve published (or ever will publish), this might be the most difficult and the most divisive. It’s certainly the one I’m most nervous about — that I’ve been putting off for a few years now actually. It’s time to let ‘er rip. I would consider myself a pretty serious gamer, …
My Review of Visage
Visage Definition: To face; confront; brave. When the PR team for Visage contacted me about reviewing it as a serious contender for one of the scariest games of all time, I was skeptical (that’s what the marketing team for every “scary” movie or game says). But now? It definitely made the list. I would describe …
Tales from the Shoebox: “Ronny, A/V Dude”
This is Ronny, the sweetest A/V nerd that ever walked the earth. He would never do anything to hurt anyone, until one day when he was hired by a motel manager to install security cameras. It seemed like an innocent gig at first, like any other. But when he realized he wasn’t being asked to …
