This 1972 BBC TV film by British screenwriter Nigel Kneale still holds up today and will leave you feeling very unsettled. It’s been cited as a direct influence by American director John Carpenter, but unless you’re a UK horror nerd you’re unlikely to have even heard of it. The storyline and approach to the ghost …
Things are actually starting to get a little weird on this front. I’ve become a bit obsessed with Ghoul-Aid, which apparently has been discontinued (and I never got to try it). You can find it in candy and Jammers form, but other than vintage packets on eBay, you can no longer find the Ghoul-Aid single …
Halloween Love: I’ve been seeing your mug for about as long as I can remember, in terms of DVD special features that is. Maybe as far back as 2005? Do you recall the first DVD you ever appeared on? Your first ever IMDb credit, however, shows 1993. I take it long before ever getting officially …
She heard it again, that ominous creak in the dark. With the blackout rendering her bedside lamp powerless, Susan felt trapped in her bed, closed off from escape by the darkness. Fear slowed her mind, but eventually she remembered the flashlight on her phone. She turned on the phone light and the room was bathed …
Like many humans, I’ve seen a UFO. After observing the unusual sight, I made sure to document what I’d seen, as it was very interesting, and I wanted to remember all the details for future reference.

I’ve been somewhat addicted to writing two-sentence horror stories over the past couple years. I don’t even spend time trying to come up with them though. They just pop into my head (usually when I’m half asleep) and I make a note of them if I’m not too tired, in which case they disappear into …
Marilynn tries out various Halloween snacks.
When people think of horror movies, they think of theatrical releases. You know… long lines, popcorn, the rustling of candy bags, and slight mumbling before the movie begins. Going to the movies used to be an experience. Almost as if time stopped and you ventured into another dimension. Of course, because of covid, that experience …
Halloween has always had a special place in my heart. I’m not really sure why, my parents didn’t make a big deal out of it. I would dress up in a costume made by my mom every year and would trick or treat around the small town we lived in. But it wasn’t something that …
