A First Look At ‘Incident In A Ghost Land’ From The Director Of ‘Martyrs’

From the director of Martyrs, Pascal Laugier, comes the home invasion thriller Incident In A Ghost Land.

However, during their first night in this new home, murderers break-in, pushing Colleen to fight to save her daughters’ lives.

I Put A Spell On You; A Look At Witches…

What would Halloween be without witches? Let’s face it, they are the true face of Halloween besides that grinning gourd you stick a candle in on your porch. But, why do we associate witches with evil and dark purpose? Is it that they are portrayed as ugly child eating folks who can make your life a misery with a spoken word or thought against you? Well, your next door neighbor who is sick of your dog pooping on their Sunday paper could be just as guilty as that. And, you may want to burn them at the stake to teach them the error of their ways too. So are you a witch with dark purpose in mind now too? That’s the thing about people, they all perceive evil in their own way. It is also said that ignorance is bliss and as noted in the Judeo Christian bible, knowledge is evil. This brings us to a person who many believe

‘The Conjuring’ Franchise Hit With An Almost Billion Dollar Lawsuit

While the new Conjuring universe may be continuing to expand, Warner Bros. may be in hot water. They have been hit with a massive lawsuit. In 1980, Gerald Brittle penned ‘The Demonologist’ for Ed and Lorraine Warren. Part of the deal between Brittle and the Warrens was that any future films that featured the events in the book had to have his approval before being made. In 2013 Warner Bros. and New Line released The Conjuring that went on to be a massive hit. The follow up centered on the Enfield Poltergeist, both stories were part of the book deal.

Movie Review: ‘Annabelle: Creation’ Crafts A Truly Creepy Origin Tale

Samuel Mullins worked as a toy-maker, and his specialty was crafting custom dolls. He worked from a shop situated in a building that lay adjacent to the home he shared with his wife Esther and their young daughter, Annabelle. One of his creations was a very distinctive looking doll, which was intended to be a limited edition of only 100. However, following the tragic death of young Annabelle, in a tragic accident, only one of these dolls would ever exist – the one he completed just prior to her death. Fast forward 12 years, as we join a group of orphaned girls accompanied by a nun, who are traveling to their new accommodations. The orphanage they previously called home has closed and now Samuel and his wife Esther, who is now a bed ridden invalid, are offering the displaced young women lodgings in their spacious, secluded farm house. Prior to their guests’ arrival, the house was filled with very little

Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Julie Harris

Yes my Little Monsters, ’tis Wednesday and that means it’s time for us all to come together to celebrate another wonderful Woman of Horror. Now not all of these lovely and talented ladies have an extensive horror resume, and such is the case with today’s featured lady, Julie Harris. But that’s not to say that her contribution is not a significant one within the horror genre, and it’s a contribution we’ll get to in a minute.

She would go on to attend and eventually graduate from Grosse Pointe Country Day School, during which time her family encouraged her to pursue the performing arts.

Movie Review: Beacon Point Is A Sci-Fi Thriller Fueled By Paranoia, NOT Big Effects

Zoe is a young woman looking to live life on her own terms. She has quit, or at least intends to, so that she can avoid falling into the same work-a-day drone trap her father did. The first step, or rather many steps, is a ten day hiking trip along the legendary Appalachian Trail. She will be accompanied by two half brothers (Brian and Sam aka Cheese), a computer programmer (Dan), and a trail guide with a VERY sketchy past (Drake). They begin their ten day trek, but rather than continue traveling along the marked trail, they are led off trail by Drake. He justifies this by claiming that it will make for a better and more exciting hiking trip since taking the main trail really doesn’t require any skill or assistance from a guide. And while Robert Frost may have waxed poetic about taking the road less traveled by, this group of hikers will learn that they would have
