He refuses to meet their demands of one thousand boys as tribute for their army, when at the last moment of the meeting Mehmed also demands Vlad’s son to take to raise. Vlad has lived a peaceful life for ten years but the legendary fighter will never allow the Turks to take the boys or his son. Vlad must make a choice between losing it all or becoming a monster.

“Women In Horror Month” Spotlight: The Soska Sisters

Jen and Sylvia Soska are the two hottest women in horror. The duo are making big waves in the horror world. The lovey ladies have acted in, written and directed several great projects . ‘See No Evil 2’ and ‘The ABC’s Of Death 2’ are just two of their latest films. 2012’s ‘American Mary’ is my personal favorite. The identical twins fell in love with horror at an early age. They both decided to go into the film industry as actresses but wanted more. The twisted twins decided to make a movie. They invested their own money and made ‘Dead Hooker In A Trunk’ with the help of Robert Rodriguez’s book ‘Rebel Without A Crew’. The movie was released in 2009 . Since then, the Soska sisters have been a force to be reckoned with. Jen and Sylvia are not just filmmakers. They are both outspoken when it come to equal rights for everyone, they’re animal lovers and amazing women.

Movie Review : ‘Ouija’

We have all heard of the Ouija board, most of us have toyed with one. In the backs of our minds there was always the question, What if it isn’t just a game? ‘Ouija’ explores the possibility that the board really can communicate with the other side and what can go wrong. Debbie, played by Shelly Hennig (Teen Wolf), broke the first rule of using a Ouija board, never play alone. She opened a door and something came through. When Debbie suddenly commits suicide, her friends struggle to understand why. Debbie’s best friend Laine (Olivia Cooke) stumbles across an old Ouija board in Debbie’s room and is reminded of how they would play with a board as kids. Laine gathers four of her and Debbie’s friends together to try to reach out to Debbie in the spirit world. The friends gather around a dark table in Debbie’s empty house and they the say the words to open the lines of

“Women In Horror Month” Spotlight: Jennifer Kent

“If it’s in a word, or it’s in a look, you can’t get rid of…” If you recognize those words or better yet, can complete the phrase then you have heard of today’s Women In Horror Month Spotlight! Jennifer Kent was the writer and director of the widely acclaimed and incredibly popular film The Babadook which is set to release on DVD and Blu-Ray this April. (So yes, to answer your question. That is the woman responsible for the reason you can’t sleep at night.) Although she is obviously a contemporary representative of women in horror, she is a great example of why women can excel in all aspects of film making, especially in horror genres. This is great news for aspiring actors and film makers – it’s comforting to know it isn’t all shrieking at the top of your lungs and getting stabbed! (Or beheaded, or haunted, or possessed… Whatever the villain’s personal shtick is.) To see more projects

‘Women In Horror Month’ Spotlight: Linda Blair

Many of you recognize the name Linda Blair because of her role in the 1973 horror classic ‘The Exorcist’. No one can deny that, even as such a young girl, Linda Blair played the role of the decade. I still can’t watch ‘The Exorcist’ alone at night. That movie is so intense and brilliant and her role as Regan was just incredible. Though Mrs. Blair has had a long history in film and been in many movies, 71 of them to be exact, her role as Regan will forever give her a place in the horror history. Mrs. Blair is still involved in entertainment, but her heart is in her charity ‘Linda Blair Worldheart Foundation’. Mrs. Blair actively speaks out on animal welfare as well as actively helping to find the dogs a forever home, which makes me respect her even more. Linda Blair we salute you ! ‘The Linda Blair Worldheart Foundation’ https://www.lindablairworldheart.org/

Champagne Jackson Kicks Zombie Ass: An Apocalyptic Horror Novel by F. A. Tallahassee

Champagne Jackson Kicks Zombie Ass, an Apocalyptic Horror Novel, blending Action and Adventure with Thrills and Chills. It’s Armageddon, supernatural stuff is going down and there really is no more room in hell. Our feisty heroine, Champagne Jackson kicks a lot of zombie ass, strings together some choice profanities and learns how to survive the horrors of a world gone mad. She has Marine Sergeant Mike Wilkins along, together with two resourceful Hispanic children, so if they work together, maybe, just maybe, the zombie horde won’t know what’s hit it. Of course, if the walking dead don’t kill you, the living will. There’s the Gravedigger Crew, a powerful black gang run by the man mountain known as Tiny Tyler, together with his lieutenant, Lord Slice, a killer midget, who’s deadly with any edged weapon.

Game Review: The Evil Within (2014)

Title : The Evil Within Publisher : Bethesda Softworks Developer : Tango Gameworks Genre : Third Person Survival Horror Players : 1 Release Date : October 14th 2014 Platforms : XBOX 360, XBOX One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 and Windows PC Towards the tail end of 2009, I started to hear rumblings that the Godfather of Survival Horror Shinji Mikami was working on a brand new Horror game. There was no title or anything just speculation. For those of you who do not know Mikami is the creator of the original Survival Horror game Resident Evil. A game in which I can remember being scared out of my mind playing in 1996 when I was 12 years old. By the way, look for me to shed some light on that game soon as the release of the HD remake of Resident Evil has hit most gaming download services (i.e. Xbox Live, PlayStation Network & Steam).

Omega Zombie by Allen Gandy

Omega Zombie is the second title I have read by Alan Gandy. (The first of which was a collaboration comic called Them.) This book is as unique as it gets. To give you a slight insight into the book’s style, I provide the description from Amazon. “Hello and goodbye. My name is Penny Goodfellow and I am about to die. Again… After tonight, there will be no more monsters. You see, I’m the last.” Great start, right? Originality 5/5 If it were possible to give a book a higher rating on originality, I would definitely do so for Omega zombie. The premise is delightfully ridiculous. (I will do my best to avoid spoilers, as always, but there were zombies, vampires, mention of fishmen, and Satanists come to bring forth the anti-christ. Oh boy!) The narrator is a 15 year old girl, and it is her destiny to destroy the world rather than to destroy it. This book flips the script
