The 5 Scariest Things That Have Ever Happened In Movies

One thing’s for sure: There’s been no shortage of horror films over the years. Indeed, it’s extraordinary to think that the project widely regarded as the first-ever “horror” film was a three-minute short recorded in 1896! Le Manoir du Diable (or The House of the Devil as it was known across America) was crafted by George Méliès. And as Far Out Magazine alluded to looking into the film’s history, its reputation stems largely from its having the first scene depicting the transformation of a man into a bat –– the first vampire scene. Perhaps it’s not overly frightening to watch now, but it certainly highlights the power of a scene (as well as how far the horror genre has come in terms of special effects and blood-curdling storylines!). Thinking of the genre in these terms –– of iconic scary scenes, that is –– it’s awfully difficult to narrow things down. But we’ve put together a list of worthy moments that

Epix‘s highly-anticipated upcoming series “Chapelwaite,” inspired by Stephen King’s tale Jerusalem’s Lot, is set to premiere later this month. “Chapelwaite,” which we deemed “the best new series of the year” in our review, stars Academy-Award winner Adrien Brody and Emily Hampshire. “Set in the 1850s, the series follows Captain Charles Boone (Brody), who relocates his family of three children to his ancestral home in the small, seemingly sleepy town of Preacher’s Corners, Maine after his wife dies at sea. However, Charles will soon have to confront the secrets of his family’s sordid history and fight to end the darkness that has plagued the Boones for generations. Rebecca Morgan (Hampshire), an ambitious young woman who left Preacher’s Corners to attend Mount Holyoke College and has returned home with an advance to write a story for the new and prestigious Atlantic Magazine.  Her writer’s block lifts when Boone arrives in town with his children, and despite her mother’s protests, Rebecca applies to be the governess of the infamous Chapelwaite manor and the Boone

Terrifying Movies To Watch With Your Girlfriend

Many guys believe that girls are tender and sensitive creatures, so they don’t like films that demonstrate violence, blood, and mystic things that make you have a terrible cold feeling in your stomach. However, there is a category of ladies who will share a movie night with you only under one condition – you will watch some terrifying movies. Some women like to rattle their nerves, especially being in the company of a man. As a rule, horror movies don’t get film awards, but they can boast of an army of fans. People enjoy watching thrill moments that are happening on the screen, sitting safely at home. So, if your girlfriend adores such films, you can offer her, “ Do my math homework for me in exchange for a terrifying movie.” The Devil’s Backbone (2001) It was directed by a Spanish screenwriter known for fantasy and horror movies. The director had the opportunity to create this genre of films before.

Man Left Terrified After He Stumbles Across A Creepy Scene In The Woods

It is not rare for people to find creepy things while exploring in the woods, but one man found something not only odd but scary. James Rankin was hiking in the secluded woods in Long Island, New York when stumbled across an eerie scene, dozens of missing persons posters taped to trees. As he films his discovery, you can hear the terror in his voice as he says, “I’ll cut right to the chase because I might die. Look what these are,” as he zooms in one of the posters with the picture and information of Jennifer Kesse, last seen in Florida back in 2006. As he explores the area and posters, you can see that someone is camping nearby. He also finds what looks like an old cage built out of limbs. After hearing a voice he takes off running, clearly he is truly scared. After he posted the video on Facebook the local police were alerted. They determined

Cynema: Ed Wood–Hollywood’s Whipping Boy

No Respect Apparently Michael Medved, the respected film critic gets the credit with dubbing Edward Wood, Jr. the “worst director of all time” by referring to Wood’s crowning film achievement, Plan Nine From Outer Space as perhaps the worst motion picture ever made. This is not only to come to the late Mr. Wood’s defense, but to also show how off the mark Mr. Medved was in his 1980 book The Golden Turkey Awards. Wood is the antithesis of Cynema–his passion and love for film makes him one of Hollywood’s greatest directors. Say what you want about Plan Nine, Bride of the Monster or Glen or Glenda…bad films, yes. Bad directing, absolutely. However Ed Wood was not a cynic. This column will show why films like Jaws The Revenge, Godzilla 1998 and other big budget films are far worse than anything Ed Wood ever put out, including Plan 9. By many accounts, including his own, Plan 9 From Outer Space
