5 Horror Novels that are Not for the Faint of Heart

Image
  Credit to Here’s why R-rated horror movies are making a comeback on the big screen I have recently started on my second batch of books, and I have been so impressed with the horror stories I have read this year. It’s like 2026 was the year meant for extreme horror, and so far, I have not been the least disappointed in the books I have found! The deaths in these novels are also pretty tough to read, and I can’t believe that I accidentally found a bunch of horror novels that stuck to the genre of gore. Only one of the books wasn’t as gory, but the implications behind the deaths was pretty shocking enough, so I thought it had to be included in the list! I guarantee that many horror fans are going to love these messed up stories! Picture of the five books.  5. Psycho by Robert Bloch I was so happy that I finally got to read the book, that was the story behind Alfred Hitchcock’s movie version of the novel! I was not expecting the over the top murders depicted in the story! We fol...

Primate is the Perfect B - Rated Horror Movie of the Year

Image
  Credit to PRIMATE Review — Knight Krier I was thrilled that I finally got to check out this movie in theaters. I decided to wait until I was able to go on $5 Tuesday at the Cinemark, because since this was deemed to be a B — rated horror movie, I wanted to wait for $5 Tuesday. I don’t really like to spend money at the theater when it comes to particular films, and I definitely misjudged this film before watching it.  It was pretty mixed with reviews, so I was expecting at least, a decent watch. Instead, I was met with a heartfelt family horror film, who invite a group of friends to spend time with them at their home, only to be ruthlessly attacked by their pet chimp, named Ben.  The movie perfectly sets up the family’s love for Ben, and he represented a symbol of love for the family. He had belonged to the main character’s mother, who had sadly passed away from cancer. It made sense why the family adored Ben, they saw him as another member of the family. Watching the gr...

John Carpenter's The Thing is a Paranoia Induced Nightmare of Body Horror Terror

Image
  Credit to John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982). The Thing is a timeless classic that I keep finding myself returning to. I have seen this film a total of 6 times, and every new watch feels like a different experience. I would study every detail of the film, and it does surprise me how I forget certain parts of the story. I think it has to do with the terror that I feel coming from the main group of men in the story, because it’s one of the few horror films where I feel so sorry for the victims.  I consider this film to be in the top 5 worst ways to die in a horror film. The thought of being trapped in the middle of nowhere with no way out, knowing that something not human is hunting you is the worst feeling in the world. It’s a different level of terror that I hope to never experience, and it’s brilliantly executed by the main cast in the story.  Each man in the group plays a huge part for the film, watching these men try to survive against something that scares the shit o...

Horror Fans Would Love Dragon Age Inquisition

Image
  Credit to  We Want Comics: Dragon Age – Multiversity Comics Dragon Age Inquisition was my first medieval RPG game that I started to play during my college years, and I instantly fell in love with the game. Even though the gameplay was a bit mixed with many fans, the story, the characters, and the horror elements presented throughout the story are what makes the game work for me as a fan.  We focus on the Inquisitor, a random character that we get to play that becomes the leader of a kingdom, using a power to hold off a huge threat known as The Fade, along with an old foe that is determined to end the world. We as the player work together with multiple friends and comrades to defeat all kinds of demons, people, or even monsters.  One sequence that worked so well for me was when the player has the choice to side with a group of knights, powerful soldiers who are willing to fight alongside the player. The Inquisitor is pulled into a nightmarish hellscape during the Fa...

Resident Evil Requiem Looks Like a Promising Horror Entry for the Franchise

Image
  Credit to  Buy Resident Evil Requiem | Xbox I have watched a new trailer for Resident Evil Requiem, and it looks like it's going to be another worthy entry for the franchise. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard introduced an actual scary game, while Resident Evil: Village did a mostly action-packed game with old school references.  Resident Evil Requiem appears to be a combination of both games, introducing two different points of view for the story. Leon is going to be the combat heavy point of view, while our new character, Grace, is going to be the survival horror aspect. I love how realistic the character of Grace feels. Putting a brand-new character that has no experience in the world of Resident Evil is a genius move, because we will be feeling the fear of the horror we are already familiar with.  It's also so cool that Grace has absolutely no experience with guns, like in one part with Leon during the demo, when he hands over a gun for her to use in combat. We see Gr...

Why Evil Dead Rise is the Most Disturbing Film in the Franchise

Image
  Credit to  Evil Dead Rise (2023) - IMDb While every single Evil Dead film is pretty disturbing in their own ways, I think the fifth entry is the most messed up film in the entirety of the franchise. Evil Dead Rise features a family as the victims this time around, that are targeted by demons after one of the family members opens up the book of the dead.  This film instantly does not hold back on the family's struggles to survive, and the first thing that the demons do is possess the mother of the three children. Her sister is the one left to protect them from the demon's wrath, determined to defeat the evil plaguing her family. Every single loss in this film feels like a gut punch, knowing that this is a family we are watching getting broken apart in such a horrific way.  I felt so sorry for the sister, knowing that her own sister was the first to die, along with her nephew, and one her nieces. What's even more horrific, is that the dead family members even merge i...

I'm Having a Lot of Fun with My YouTube Channel...and My Brain Feels Weird

Image
  Screenshot of my YouTube Channel I have recently been working on my YouTube channel, creating a lot of random videos that contain some of my favorite horror movies, videogames, or even other random topics. My goal is to eventually reach about 2,000 followers one day this year, and I'm determined to make that happen! I'm planning to upload a video every 5 days, that will be based on random topics that come to my head once in a blue moon.  I was planning to write a random article on another horror topic today, but my brain feels like a wire is loose from my thoughts/ideas.  This article will be my shortest one yet, but I still wanted to write something for today.  I told myself that I would post one a day on this site, or in another other writing platform that I use! I know that I missed a couple of days in the beginning of the month, but I'm determined not to lose my posting streak!
