After several forced attempts in recent years to pick up my old passion for writing horror fiction, I was sure my creative days were over. Then a strange combination of a cycling accident and jigsaw puzzling changed all that. Late one evening in early 2021, I decided to go for a pleasant bike ride. Towards …
I’ve always loved Pet Sematary Two, which is probably one of the first movies that had me experiencing melancholy, an emotion I did not yet fully understand. It’s a special feeling, and I love it. And a lot of that melancholy was driven by the composer, Mark Governor. There’s a limited release of the soundtrack …

Kids in the ’50s gobbled up the gruesome morality tales of EC comics. These stories thrilled a generation with their depictions of terrible people getting punished for doing terrible things.

Will we ever truly be “post”-covid or is this something we will continue to carry with us for ever? There has been no better time than now to see the mysterious powers …
I’ve seen space marines fight a giant spider/scientist in Leprechaun 4. I’ve seen pianos eat giggling Japanese women in Hausu. I’ve seen people get terrorized by slugs, rabbits, exploding canaries, and vegetarian goblins. I say all this to preface the fact that, without a doubt, 1964’s Face of the Screaming Werewolf is the strangest, most …
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 …
