Tolls of the Craft . Top Story - November 2017.
Milan, Italy, 1608. Francesco Maria Guazzo sat in concentration with intent of enlightenment, quill in hand, prepared to compose precisely 345 pages. A man before, approximately 121 years earlier, sat in the same position, by the name of Heinrich Kramer, to birth Malleus Maleficarum. Little did Heinrich or Francesco know in that moment that their workings would set to inspire men and women alike in a widely controversial topic: witch hunting. Specifically, witch hunting, witchcraft, pacts with Satan himself, and a classification of demons.

Switch.
“It’s raining again.” I thought to myself as the droplets cascade down the window by my desk. For as long as I lived here the sun seems to keep itself hidden behind the clouds seemingly afraid to come out. It’s an odd phenomenon that I’m sure scientists can chalk it up to being an unfortunate series of events. I continue to stare out into the distance watching each car new and old drive in out of the school’s driveway. I look over to my teacher drone on and on about chemical compounds and how important it is to know the scientific term of them. I glance up past him at the analog clock slowly ticking away each second until 8:15. The bell finally rings and students scurry for the exit not wanting to here another second of this “titillating” lecture. I slowly rise from my seat and started to gather my things until the teacher stops me in my tracks.

HAG - A Story Of Sleep Paralysis - Part 1
She first came to him when he was only a child, and in the hours when darkness grew from the shadows in the corners of the room. Little Ellis Peters had fallen into a sound sleep, his mother having just read to him, and sang him a song, probably 'Half Way Down The Stairs', that was always his favorite back then, and he had fallen sound asleep, his head full of the innocent thoughts of a child, unprepared for the horror that was destined to enter his life.

Everyone Is 'Axing' The Same Question About 'The Walking Dead' Season Premiere
Warning: Spoilers for The Walking Dead Season 7 "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be." It was all bloodbaths and baseball bats on the opening episode of The Walking Dead's seventh season; however, while some people were busy asking if Glenn's eye was going to pop back into place, or who will rock the handlebar mustache now Abraham is gone, others were asking:

Freddy Gets Fingered: Is 'A Nightmare On Elm Street II' The Gayest Horror Film Of All Time?
After the bloody-curdling success of 1984's A Nightmare on Elm Street, a sequel was immediately green-lit for the following year. With a change of both staff and style came A Nightmare on Elm Street II: Freddy's Revenge. Finally, Fred Krueger was back with his razor-edged glove, but this time he came literally screaming out of the closet and into our nightmares. Dubbed the "homo A Nightmare on Elm Street," it is time to dust that rhinestone fedora with some pink glitter and get ready for the gayest film since Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

The Lady of the Island
The tired, old wind now only wheezes out a few dry breaths, and the sun has gone away leaving the sky gray, dark, and cloudy while the grass becomes brittle and stiff. There is a small, abandoned road in the middle of a field leading up to a house far away from everything. In fact, it’s on its own island. The road is rough and rocky, though from a distance one can hardly tell that it is there. The woman and her husband who were left shipwrecked here ten years ago had built the house.

Is Jessica Lange Confirmed To Butcher The Competition On 'American Horror Story?'
Well what a week of American Horror Story that was – the big twist may as well have torn our heads right off, but the tone was certainly set for the "real" season of the show to begin. We had Sarah Paulson and her dodgy British accent, Kathy Bates sporting her American Realtor Realness haircut, and a whole lot of trouble heading back to the Roanoke house. In the words of Geoffrey Rush in House on Haunted Hill – "sure is a funky old house, ain't it?"

For Peters's Sake: Have We Seen The Last Of Evan Peters (Again) On 'American Horror Story?'
Well, Ryan Murphy definitely promised us a twist for the sixth episode of American Horror Story: Roanoke, but I don't think anyone was prepared for that whopper. While we're still in mourning over the loss of Evan Peters's Edward Philippe Mott from Episode 5, things looked promising when it was confirmed that Peters would be back in a different role. With a truly shocking week, did things fair any better this time round on the Roanoke ranch?
