'Body Bags' is Gory and Cheesy 90s Fun

Image
  Credit to A Look Back At ‘Body Bags (1993) On Its 25th Anniversary — PopHorror I was really wanting to watch a horror movie last night, and I stumbled upon a John Carpenter film I have been wanting to watch for a long time on Shudder. I was not expecting to enjoy the film as much as I did.  Body Bags is an anthology film that follows three stories that will entertain you with its insane carnage. It features so many awesome horror legend cameos, such as John Carpenter himself as the storyteller, Wes Craven, Debbie Harry, and more.  I loved every story, and I loved how brutal the film was! Here is a quick summary of each story in case any of you lovely horror fans are interested in checking this film out! The Gas Station Credit to Body Bags (1993) — Black Horror Movies A woman decides to work at a 24-hour gas station for the night. Unfortunately, there is a serial killer on the loose, killing women. This does not stop our main protagonist from working the shift, and...

Hatchet For the Honeymoon is a Original Study into the Mind of a Serial Killer

Image
  Credit to  Crappy Movie Reviews: Hatchet for the Honeymoon (1970) I had to include a bad, fun movie for the spooky season. I honestly didn’t know what to watch for today, so I decided to choose a terrible slasher movie on purpose. Instead of being super bored… I actually enjoyed it ? I think it had to do with one of the main plot points that I honestly thought was kind of genius for a serial killer point of view…because the killer’s main reason for killing was kind of…dumb. The story follows a handsome young man named John Harrington. He is a serial killer who goes after young women. He is aware that he is a madman, and that no one will ever suspect him of being a killer. He’s a bit weird. He likes to make out with mannequins. I wish I was joking. He sees himself as a child haunting his adult self. He even decides to put on lipstick and put a wedding veil on top of his head. Why? I honestly have no idea. He’s a madman. He even admits it, so I guess that makes sense? Now let’...

Why Are People Obsessed with Conspiracy Theories?

Image
  Credit to Where do people believe in conspiracy theories? | YouGov I don’t get why people tend to fall for conspiracy theories. I am aware how fascinating it can be; how crazy people can become when they fall down the rabbit hole, but why do they allow themselves to get trapped? I like to avoid conspiracy theories, whether it be political, science related, or supernatural. I don’t see the need to let myself fall for something like that. And I honestly don’t care to learn more about any of them.  Deep down, I’m scared of conspiracy theories.  I’m afraid of allowing myself to believe in any of them. Why would I want to delve deeper into a mystery that I obviously will never learn the full truth?  The last thing I need is going insane.  Like come on. I’m a horror fan. I’m happy with the imagination I already got stored in my head, I don’t need to add something that would crack my head open like a walnut.  I don’t need that crazy shit in my life.  Want t...

'In a Violent Nature' is a Unique Spin on Slasher Horror

Image
  Credit to Sundance: ‘In A Violent Nature,’ a slasher film — TownLift, Park City News I was expecting to get bored during this film, watching a killer wander the woods for hours. I was not expecting the film to kick off so crazy after the beginning offscreen death, and I found myself cringing from how brutal each death was in the movie.  And I loved how the ending caught me off guard, leading down to a conclusion I wasn’t expecting.  We follow the point of view of a killer named Johnny, who comes back from the dead after some asshole named Troy steals a necklace that belonged to his mother.  I’m not kidding here, this piece of shit is the reason why all of his friends die.  After Johnny kills a random dude who is caught by his own bear trap in the woods, he comes across the group who is carrying his mother’s necklace. He spots Troy with it, putting it into his pocket while a dude named Ehren is telling the origin story of how Johnny became a slasher.  From...

5 Horror Books that Any Horror Fan Would Love in 2025

Image
  Credit to CS Lewis on the Value of Reading Old Books 2025 has been my year of reading so many new novels or reading old ones again that I really loved. The good news is that I now have a lot of room for new books. I recently was given two new bookshelves from a friend, and now I have two empty shelves that are waiting for new books to occupy that empty space! I can’t wait to start all over again, and not have any more room for my books lol. I am currently writing this, hoping it doesn’t rain anymore.  My fridge is not going to fill itself up with food lol.  In the meantime, why not talk about horror novels that any horror fan would love? Picture of Corpse with books.  5. The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager So far from the Riley Sager novels I have read, I think this one has the strangest plot twist reveal in the third act.  Despite that plot twist that caught me off guard, I loved how great the build up was. We follow the story of Casey Fletcher, who...

What is Thalassophobia?

Image
  Credit to Photo of Bubbles Underwater · Free Stock Photo Thalassophobia is a phobia where people who have an intense fear of the ocean or deep bodies of water. People fear water, because they are scared of what might be lurking beneath, or they are terrified of drowning.  For me, it’s what kind of threat could be in the ocean.  This is a silly thing to say, but I’m going to just say it.  I’m scared that deep sea monsters could be hiding somewhere in the ocean.  It could be my love of horror talking here, but I am freaking scared of what the hell could be out there in the deepest waters. I do believe that sea monsters actually do exist…or maybe they used to. Hopefully. But think about it.  What if some of these sea monsters actually exist? Or are still alive? Lurking in waters that are impossible to navigate in the world? Thinking about it scares the shit out of me.  I sometimes picture myself in a small boat in middle of the ocean, frozen in pure fea...
