The Circleville Letters - The Town That Was Watched
There are some names that stay with you... When I was a kid, I had a best friend who lived one block from my house. His mother’s name was Mary. Their last name was Gillispie. I never thought twice about it. It was just the name on the mailbox. Just the woman who waved from the porch when we rode our bikes past her house in the late afternoon light.

The Game That Predicts Death
It was called “Final Hour.” No developer name. No company. Just a black icon with a white clock. The description read:

Find the Rabbit
As red surrounded him. He tasted copper in the air. The door to Daniel’s other life closed before him. It was a one-way trip. That’s what the strange woman — hope fucked from her face — said. One-way trip.

Did Dead Silence Deserve so Much Hate?
I have watched Dead Silence years ago, and I thought it was one of the coolest concepts I have seen in the horror genre. The plot was pretty entertaining, and even though there were several cheesy moments, the film was genuinely creepy when it came to the dolls. The kills were gnarly, and the main character had a great motivation with wanting to solve the mystery behind his girlfriend's murder.

The Last Car
One of the weirdest television episodes to ever air, "The Last Car," Season 2, Episode 19 of "Tales from the Darkside," has all the earmarks of an absurdist, surrealist dream. It's the sort of short film that David Lynch might have admired, something that could have been transposed onto the template for his "Twin Peaks" without skipping much of a beat. Like every dream (in this case, an interminable nightmare), it must be interpreted, picked apart, and digested for meaning and symbolism. What is this metaphor saying to the viewer?

I Rented a Haunted Airbnb for the Discount
I thought I was just saving $48 a night. Instead, I spent three nights sharing a house with something that never came upstairs—but definitely knew my name.

Double Trouble
"The Hitchhiker" and "Freddy’s Nightmares," two Eighties anthology horror sleaze series that epitomize the era’s vast anxieties about rapidly changing social norms, each feature first-season episodes that hint at dark, twisted psychological mechanisms. No surprise there. Each, in its own way, opens up the mental sewer below the viewer, revealing the catarrhal slop that flows, like feculent sludge, beneath the conscious mind, in that dark netherworld of the limbic system where monsters dwell.

Researchers believe they understand why the noses of Triceratops were so large.
Triceratops have been characterised for almost a century by its visible features, including as their enormous beak, horns, and frills. However, what we couldn't see at all might be the true surprise. According to recent CT scans, this horned dinosaur redirected its snout's primary blood arteries and nerves through its nostrils rather than its jaw.

Bell book and Candle
I sit on the wooden pew with my head bowed, concentrating on the green chequered pattern of my pleated school skirt. The chapel is small and located in the old Manor House part of the building. The alter stands in front of a large bay window looking out on the grounds and the ha-ha wall beyond. A single candle drips warm wax at its centre filling the air with frankincense scented smoke.
