Blog postHappy Halloween everyone. Here’s a story, my gift to you on this most wonderful of days.
The Fiddle is the Devil’s Instrument
When Cannon Danvers invited me to one of his famous séances, my first inclination was to decline. Others would have given their right arm or other critical body part to receive such an invitation. Cannon Danvers was a name whispered from the shrouded cities of the Far East to the still-smoldering capitals of Europe to the hills of Kentucky, where -
Blog postAs we conclude our tour of the best horror music out there, let’s do something different. We’ll kick it off with a song I include every year during this event: “Dixie Drug Store.”
Now a more classic telling of the story of Marie Laveau–with a New Orleans jazz flavor.
Sticking to the New Orleans theme, an ode to the murderer who his said to have inspired a century of jazz traditions.
And now, for something completely different. Another kind of horror tune, and one of -
Blog postHorror shorts never die. Here are four more horror shorts for your Halloween enjoyment.
First, a unique take on the “somethings in the room with me” trope. Be sure to watch with your headphones in.
Beautiful and creepy, sometimes what you forget is more important than what you remember.
There’s nothing more frightening than technology these days. See Google do some evil

Blog postThe title says it all!
Whisper
A simple concept that I’m surprised I’ve never seen before, Whisper will have you ditching your smart speaker.
I Heard It, Too
You’ve probably read the two sentence horror story, and here it is put to film in this creepy short. Cute kids always get me, man.
Mikus
Sometimes childhood is best left behind. Not a lot happens here that will surprise you, but a fun ride nonetheless.
The Midnight Jester

Blog postPossibly my favorite post I’ve ever done was on horror shorts. Seriously, these 3 to 10 minute films are better than half of what you find in theaters today. Enjoy.
5. The Jigsaw
Based on a classic story of horror, The Jigsaw is a delightfully creepy film that combines some of my favorite horror tropes: storms, old-timey records, and haunted objects.
4. Cargo
A short so good they made a full-length film out of it, but I can’t imagine what a movie could do that -
Blog postWhen you think about Disney, you probably don’t think about horror. But you would be wrong.
Very wrong.
Everybody has their inspirations. The classics, the old Hammer movies, Lovecraft, Poe, King, whatever. But for me, as much as anything else, it was those old Disney cartoons in the Octobers of my youth.
Cartoons were different back then, kids. It’s almost like they weren’t for children at all. They were mature, often violent, and occasionally terrifying. Two stick ou -
Blog postIf you know me, you know I’m obsessed with missing persons. The idea that people can simply disappear off the face of the earth in this day and age terrifies me. But no disappearance haunts me more than that of Brandon Lawson.
On August 8, 2013, at around midnight, Brandon Lawson left the home he shared with his girlfriend to drive to his father’s house. He’d had an argument with her, possibly over his drug use. Although sporadic, he had taken meth that day. Whatever the cause of the -
Blog postIt’s almost Halloween, and some of you haven’t even watched a horror movie yet. Not sure what you’re thinking, but it’s not too late! Here are three horror movies to watch before Halloween.
Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon
Before there was Cabin in the Woods, there was Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. Both films take place in a world where horror is real, albeit not necessarily in the way the horror movies make it out to be. And both are fantastic.

Blog postOrdinarily on Friday, we highlight some of the best songs out there with a horror flavor. Today, we’ll do something a little different. Enjoy a reading of the classic work, “The Call of Cthulhu.”

Blog postNormally on this page we look to horror that entertains. But today and tomorrow, I’ll be delving into true horror, into some of the greatest mysteries yet to be solved. This one you may have heard of, but I bet the one you see tomorrow will surprise you.
On February 2, 1959, in the midst of a blizzard and sub-zero temperatures, nine experienced hikers cut through their own tent pitched on the side of a mountain and fled into the darkness. Half dressed, they made their way down the slo
