Dreaming of the End
The cruel sun beats down, it's one malevolent eye unblinking, and the sky was its co-conspirator with not even a wisp of cloud to soften the harsh rays. In front of me stood four or five creatures, all blurry and muffled, like I was watching them through plexiglass. They spoke, the creatures, as if they were human. But they did not speak a human language. It was a strange combination of flowy words and harsh pronunciations. A loud crack sounded above like thunder in the cloudless sky that tapered off into the high pitched drum of a trumpet. It shook the ground with its soundas if it was pulling the ground apart. The sounds from the sky gave a hint of raw power and warning at what was to come.

Not Caught Up With 'Ash vs Evil Dead' Yet? Here's a Handy Guide to the 'Evil Dead' Universe
Now listen up, you primitive screw-head! Not my words, but words from the mouth of Ashley Williams, the main protagonist in Sam Raimi's undying horror series that is The Evil Dead. I've been completely bonkers about these ever since I first caught the original movie on late night television here in the UK. It gave me the drive to pick up a camera and make my own crazy movies, not to mention be afraid of books with scary faces on the cover. However I'm aware that not everyone knows the history behind the Starz series, so I'm going to take you through time and space into the world that is — put simply — groovy!

Time To Enjoy The Little Things: 'Zombieland 2' Ready To Bring Back The Original Cast
We all remember the rules of surviving Zombieland; whether it be the double tap or working on your cardio, Ruben Fleischer's film had us splitting our sides in the midst of an army of the undead. #Zombieland was heralded as the American Shaun of the Dead and would surely deserve a second outing. However, it seemed like the apocalypse was over when the 2009 film failed to spawn a sequel. For nearly a decade now, we have been talking about whether we will ever see Columbus, Wichita, Little Rock, or Tallahassee again. Now, the film has come crawling out of the rotting grave it fell into with some news on where the hell Zombieland 2 is.

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.

A Series of Dreams
I was always told that it's a good idea to write down your dreams. Lately I've been having several but I can't remember any of them.

Blue Tidal
About five years ago I lived downtown in a major city in the US. I’ve always been a night person, so I would often find myself bored after my roommate, who was decidedly not a night person, went to sleep. To pass the time, I used to go for long walks and spend the time thinking.

The Room at the End of the Hall
Not to far away from me, off the side of a busy road, there has always been a building that stuck out in comparison to all of the others. Surrounded by contemporary buildings is a single house-like structure made of stone. It looks like something out of an old movie or a painting. When I was a small child, I was always curious about this building, but the sign outside of it changed from time to time, and, because I wasn’t able to read and I never wanted to distract my parents from paying attention to the road in front of them, I never asked.

Midnight Kiss
Chapter One: A Night to Remember Chapter One: A Night to Remember The air was cool and crisp as I stepped out into the night, the door creaking closed quietly behind me. Tonight’s nightmare was even worse than the last. This time I was unable to shake the feeling that this had indeed been a distant memory from my childhood, one that my mind seemed desperate to erase. It was so vivid, so…REAL.

Followed Me Home
When I was younger, I used to love scaring the shit out of my friends when it came to the paranormal. I would tell ghost stories and sneak up behind them to scare them. And as we got older we would go walk through cemeteries at night and try to be amateur ghost hunters. There was one night and the weeks following it that I will never forget.
