Tender is the Flesh is the Most Disturbing Horror Novel Ever Written

Image
  Credit to  Tender Is the Flesh | Book by Agustina Bazterrica, Sarah Moses | Official Publisher Page | Simon & Schuster I've barely read this novel during this week again, and I have to say, this novel is still the most brutal horror novel I have ever read. I had read this book 2 years ago, and it still continues to disturb me in more ways than one. We follow the story of a random dude named Marcos, who is struggling to live in a dystopian world, where it's now normal to be a cannibal. An infection has wiped out all animals, and now the world can no longer eat animal meat to survive. The government gets the idea to switch to human meat, to feed the world, and it now becomes the new norm.  Marcos works at a factory where he helps to distribute human meat, and while he appears stable to his co -workers, his personal life is a nightmare. His father is now in a nursing home, his sister has given herself fully to the dystopian world, his wife had to go live with her mothe...

Resident Evil Requiem is the Perfect Ending for Leon Kennedy in the Resident Evil Franchise

Image
  Credit to  RESIDENT EVIL 9: Requiem Gameplay (2026) Leon Kennedy I'm not exactly sure what Capcom has in store for Leon's character in the Resident Evil franchise, but if his journey does end with Resident Evil 9, then this is the perfect send off for his character. Resident Evil Requiem is linked to the past of Leon, when it comes to what he went through in Raccoon City. This was an unexpected twist; and while this game is also Grace's story, Leon's story was connected so well to the rest of the game.  Leon is asked to go and save Grace from Victor Gideon, another infected scientist that dreams of spreading a new zombie virus. Unfortunately, Leon is dealing with a huge problem. Due to his past events in Raccoon City 28 years ago, that specific zombie infection has somehow infected Leon so many years later. Sherry, his assistant for the mission, is also infected, and he is determined to cure the two of them. Other survivors from the past outbreak in Raccoon City had a...

Grace Ashcroft was the Perfect Addition to the Resident Evil Franchise

Image
  Credit to  How the Truth Behind Grace In Requiem Changes Resident Evil's Past (And Future) - ComicBook.com Grace Ashcroft is one of the most fascinating characters ever brought to the Resident Evil franchise. She felt like a breathe of fresh air, and I enjoyed watching her character try to survive. The voice actor truly did a great job bringing her character to life, she felt like a real person to me that was so scared. Her slow journey from a scared woman to a courageous one throughout the game was executed so well, and her story was perfectly done! Grace is introduced as a not so confident FBI agent, who is pulled into the horror of Resident Evil when she is kidnapped by a man known as Victor Gideon. She is thrown into a zombie apocalypse, and meets Leon Kennedy, who tries to help her survive her tough journey. She meets a little girl named Emily, that she takes under her care, while trying to navigate the horrors of zombies, a giant zombie monster, and even Victor, w...

Resident Evil Requiem Perfectly Balances Action and Zombie Carnage into Survival Horror

Image
  Credit to RESIDENT EVIL Requiem — Part 7 — Gameplay Walkthrough (No Commentary) I had some doubt going into the recent entry of the Resident Evil franchise, because of the last two entries of Resident Evil 7 & 8. While the remakes were incredible, and the random stories following a brand-new character did work in Resident 7 and 8, fans like myself were wanting more of an action like experience.  Once I started to hear the crazy claims of Resident Evil Requiem being the best in the franchise, I knew I had to purchase this game. I bought the deluxe version for the hell of it, (because I wanted the Noir outfits, they looked so cool on the two main characters) and I was shocked by how AWESOME this game was. The blend of both horror and action was done so perfectly, and it almost felt like I was playing two different games mixed into one. This was like Resident Evil 7 mixed with Resident Evil 4 remake, and it created an experience I will NEVER FORGET.  I don’t remember t...

The Mandela Catalogue Continues to be a Terrifying Analog Horror Series

Image
  Credit to The Mandela Catalogue Vol.6 I never thought the Mandela Catalogue would become one of my favorite analog horror series. I have to thank this series for introducing me to this kind of horror, and Mandela Catalogue continues to blow me away with the horror and the world building behind this interesting story.  Entities known as the alternates, were created by an angel known as Gabriel, that also had its own alternate. It was able to trick people for many years, in order to make sure an alternate child would be born, known as Adam.  Now years later, in a small town called Mandela County, the alternates are slowly taking over. They have gotten so many people killed, and they also take on the forms of their own victims, to blend into society.  Several characters have been able to avoid their fates, such as one character known as Thatcher, a police officer who has somehow been able to maintain his humanity against these creatures. He lost a colleague named Ruth...

Harold is One of the Most Disturbing Tales from 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark'

Image
  Credit to https://www.scarystudies.com/harold/ To this day, I can't believe that the iconic series of 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz was written for children. I had discovered this series when I was in the fifth grade, and I remember how my fellow students would obsess over the creepy pictures for each story. Seriously, these pictures were so unnerving to look at, how did the author expect a child to get through these stories without having nightmares? Years later, I now own the whole collection. I could name so many creepy stories that haunted me during my childhood, but I think the one that deserves the crown for the best one, has to be "Harold." Harold follows the story of two men named Thomas and Alfred, who would take their cows up to the valley for a total of two months. The two men were bored with their work, and they got the idea to make a scarecrow, to scare off the birds in the garden. They decide to name the scarecrow Harold, after a...

The Backrooms is Now My Most Anticipated Horror Movie of 2026

Image
  Credit to  Backrooms | Official Teaser HD | A24 I had gone to watch Undertone in the theater, and I was not expecting to see a brand-new trailer of The Backrooms, a horror YouTube phenomenon that gained millions of fans. I instantly knew this was a trailer for the Backrooms, once the odd room was introduced, and once the camera started to move downward, my excitement went through the roof! I can't believe this movie is coming out this year, in May! I have seen some videos on YouTube about the main storyline, but I'm still confused as to what the Backrooms actually are. I'm so curious to see how Kane Pixel, the creator of the series, is going to tackle the story in the film! I'm 100% going to check out this movie in theaters, hopefully in XD! It's awesome how content creators are able to conjure up their creations and turn them into an actual film, I hope artists will be able to continue to make amazing horror stories like this, I'm beyond excited for The Backr...
