The Crow and Comfort by Rie Sheridan Rose

In May of 1994, I fell in love with a dead man. Sitting in a darkened theater, mesmerized by the action on the screen, I was watching The Crow, starring Brandon Lee, who had been killed making the film. I was profoundly moved by the film. I saw it nineteen times in twenty days…or maybeContinueContinue reading “The Crow and Comfort by Rie Sheridan Rose”

Delve Into the Mystery of Easter Island, by Nora B. Peevy

On a tiny island located about 3,700km from Chile lies one of the most intriguing mysteries known to mankind – Easter Island. However, the people who live there don’t call it Easter Island.

Celebrating Women in Horror Movies During Women in Horror Month By Dawn Colclasure

In horror movies, women play a variety of roles: The victim, the Final Girl, and the hero. For a long time, women in horror movies did not have positive or empowering roles, as their roles were mostly for the purpose of eye candy or to be the damsel in distress. Most horror movies of theContinueContinue reading “Celebrating Women in Horror Movies During Women in Horror Month By Dawn Colclasure”

The Real Elizabeth Bathory vs. the Fictional Elizabeth Bathory in Curse of the Blood Witch by Dawn Colclasure

Say the name “Elizabeth Bathory” and most people will conjure images of a woman bathing in bathtubs filled with blood in their minds. Or they might recall watching a documentary exploring the historical scandals surrounding Bathory during her lifetime. And most historians worth their salt will claim that we have it all wrong.

Album Review: Journey Through the Dying Lands by Bog Wizard (Reviewed by Tommy B. Smith)

Michigan stoner/doom metal outfit Bog Wizard describes their sound as “nerd doom,” being inspired by fantasy, Dungeons & Dragons, and the satanic panic, among other influences. Their latest release, Journey Through the Dying Lands, opens with the chirping of birds and a lone, roaming bass line which leads to the first of numerous slow-crunching riffs.ContinueContinue reading “Album Review: Journey Through the Dying Lands by Bog Wizard (Reviewed by Tommy B.

The Fourth Killer in Scream TV series Season 2 – by Kasey Hill

Note from the editor: My bad! Kasey Hill sent me this article back in October, but I was so distracted by seasonal articles, by editing two anthologies, and by trying to keep a balance of book, music, and movie reviews, that time got away from me! If you are a fan of SCREAM (or aContinueContinue reading “The Fourth Killer in Scream TV series Season 2 – by Kasey Hill”
