'Black Christmas' (1974)
1974's Black Christmas is a dark, gory and intense view into the frighting reality of the human mind, enforced by an exaggerated and un-stereotypical approach towards horror allowing for a truly terrifying viewing that will most probably make your skin crawl! Unless it is too tight obviously...

Harbor Phantom
I had lived and grew up in Chicago for the most part of my life and in the 1970s. The places to hang out when you are in your twenties was at Addison Rocks, Montrose and Diversy harbors where you could walk the lake front on large bleached boulders that are no longer there and the totem poll that stands alone on; and let's not forget the beer can made of stone at the lake front. Enjoying the sounds of the Hari Kristnas who always had nectar on hand as you stroll from Montrose on the lake to Fullerton or you could go to Addison Rocks where all artists seem to be... adding their voices with paint to the rocks that lined the shore line, I always felt the artists should have charged admission to visualize their works of art made of chalk.

Lampago Part II
On the far side of that squalid living room, Rudy fussed over a fourth-hand electric stove while Duncan sat half-awake at a card table, their father's card table, waiting with a paper plate. Rudy looked passably human now that he shaved off his beard and muttonchops, put on his green Wigman's Grocery shirt and apron, hid his paw-hands inside cheap gloves, hid his tail inside his black slacks, and squeezed his hindpaws into shoes. Duncan, meanwhile, looked pert in his school uniform of a blue vest over a black polo shit and khaki slacks.

The Worst Horror Movies of 2017
Horror movies already don't have a particularly good reputation in the film critic world—and it's easy to see why. These movies are often poorly written, overly campy, and at times, will rely on cheap jump scares or splatter to get their "scary" point across.

Was It a Coincidence?
Everything just seemed to happen so fast.. I never even had time to recover from one death before another one happened. I was only in elementary school when all of this occurred. The first death being my choir teacher and the high school basketball team, the second death was my uncle, and the third...my newborn nephew—all occurred in January of 2008. Ten years later and I’m still not sure if it was my mind playing tricks on me because I was overwhelmed with all the sudden deaths of loved ones and people whom I cared for or if it actually happened.

The Cecil Hotel
When it comes to hotels, most of them are name brand. You see the same old signs for Windgate and the Marriot, with their offers of free breakfast and complimentary hot tub hours. There aren't many privately owned hotels left in this world, singular industry slowly becoming dominated by larger chains.

Best Horror Movies of 2017
Horror movies will always be popular because nothing is more exciting to see in the theatre then a creepy film that has you on the edge of your seat. A well-executed horror film is not easy to pull off, it takes a subtle hand who really knows when to go for it and when to hang back and build tension, and for this reason there is no shortage of terrible ones.

My In-depth Review/Retrospective of Phantasm
The Review: Hello and welcome to my first review. Phantasm is a film that is very close to my heart. This is due to the fact that it is one of the few movies that consistently frighten me with each consecutive viewing. Which for me, is rare within the American slasher genre. As I really don't scare so easily.

Anguli Pythonissam
*10 years ago* I was just laying in bed, watching my favorite YouTubers, and eating some chips, slowly dozing off but fighting the urge to fall asleep. The video was almost over anyway, might as well finish it. But my body had other plans. All of a sudden, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't move, there was a ringing in my ears, and all I could see was straight into the eyes of...something. It was a black mass, almost having a human figure, but things were just not quite right to say it was human. It had big, glowing eyes that seemed to not allow me to look away, and a mouth full of sharp teeth, dripping with blood. It was moving towards me from the corner of my room. It reached out its hand as it glided over, its limbs too long to be natural.

A Dog's Dream
Advancing towards me with that evil grin, a look of death in his eye; “Scott!!” My owner screams in my defense, but her words don’t do anything. He grabs me, lifting me off the ground. I can’t fight it. He walks over to the railing and hovers me over it. All I see looking down is the far away asphalt where I will die if he lets go.
