Absolute Batman Looks ‘Absolutely’ Wicked

Image
  Credit to  Absolute Batman Isn’t A Superhero’s Journey — It’s A Full-On Horror Story I have recently heard of a new Batman comic that has gained a lot of popularity from DC fans. I did hear some hype over this new series, but I didn’t get why fans were making such a big deal. Once I feasted my eyes on the new design of Joker in this series, I was instantly hooked. It’s so ballsy how the creator of this new series is willing to give fans a brand-new vision of our favorite crime fighter in the city of Gotham. I love it when I find great concepts/ideas of Batman comics like this! Even though I haven’t read the series yet, I have a feeling I’m really going to enjoy checking out this series! The designs of the villains in this comic book are INSANE! Credit to Google Plus, the villains have very different personalities compared to the villains we all know and love/dislike from Arkham Asylum, but the changes feel so fresh and original! From what I have seen so far of the villains: ...

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is a Heartbreaking and Disturbing Tale of Tragedy and Evil

Image
  Credit to Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me — An Unflinching Portrait of Despair — Reactor Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is the prequel story into the final moments of Laura Palmer, a young girl who was murdered in the small town of Twin Peaks. This movie was unbearably hard to watch. What this poor girl went through before she was murdered was brutal, and I was not expecting to feel so torn over this character. Throughout the entire show, her life was revealed to the viewers through clues, but finally getting to see what she had gone through was absolutely awful, and I hated every second of it.  Kudos to the actress who played Laura Palmer, she is phenomenal, and I can’t believe I didn’t see her in other films, other than the work of David Lynch. She deserves an Oscar award for her performance in this movie, she is a horror icon in my eyes after watching the film! The movie begins with the first murder of a young woman, before Laura Palmer.  Credit to Twin Peaks: Fire...

Twin Peaks: Beyond Life and Death is One of the Best Episodes of the Series

Image
  Credit to Laura Palmer — Meanwhile (Reversed) After an odd season 2 of Twin Peaks, I was so glad to see the show go back to the old roots of David Lynch’s work. He had directed the final episode of season 2, and it ended with a huge twist that must have pissed off fans for years. This episode goes back to the scary horror elements that David Lynch is known for, and poor Dale Cooper finds himself in a game of life or death.  Once his new love named Annie is kidnapped by a serial killer known as Windom Earle, he travels to the woods to find her. He is told about The Black Lodge, a place that only appears when two planets align. If you don’t enter The Black Lodge with courage, your soul will be lost. Dale Cooper bravely ventures into this strange realm but finds himself terrified when he encounters the creepy strangeness of this place.  Meanwhile, Audrey Horne is determined to help her father with his business. She goes to the bank to chain herself to the doors, as a way t...

Twin Peaks Season 2 was a Rollercoaster of Horror and Cliches that Still Finished with a Bang

Image
  Credit to Under the Sycamore Trees: The Night ‘Twin Peaks’ Went Off the Air I finally understand why Twin Peaks season 2 has been a mix for so many fans. I enjoyed this season regardless of its flaws, but I feel it’s important to discuss why this season felt so odd. Apparently, there is a whole history to this season, and its pretty shocking how so many directors/writers were involved in the second half of season 2.  The history to season 2 is quite a lot, and I’m planning to talk about this in a future article. Let’s just say that the network decided to interfere in David Lynch’s masterpiece, and it led to creative differences and frustrations. This was a shame to hear about, because it makes me wonder what kind of season we would have gotten if David Lynch had been fully involved.  The first half of season 2 felt like David Lynch’s influence. Credit to Twin Peaks: la seconda stagione non è ciò che sembra | Anonima Cinefili The first half of season 2 was focusing on th...

How Did People Assume The Blair Witch Project was Real Footage?

Image
  Credit to ‘The Blair Witch Project’: Into the Black — Film Daze The Blair Witch Project is considered to be the horror movie that began the found footage era among the horror genre. The found footage aspect in this movie was shot so well, with only a $60,000 budget. The footage felt so authentic, and the reactions/emotions of the three main cast members did a fine job. It truly felt like I was watching an actual documentary of what happened to three people in the woods, and the mention of the three of them still missing to this day was a nice take for the creepy storyline.  And I wanted to clarify…that I am aware that this is a movie.  Just a scary movie that was expertly shot with the use of a camera.  I have no idea how people believed this was real footage.  Did it really have to do with the awesome advertising the writers did for the release of their film?  They put up missing posters of the three cast members, used their real names for the movie, and...

What is the Real Ending to The Lighthouse?

Image
  Credit to ‘The Lighthouse’ Review: Dark Nights, Troubled Souls, Hairy Men — The New York Times The Lighthouse is a special kind of horror film. We follow the story of two men stuck on a small island working as lighthouse keepers, and both men slowly lose their mind as their stay on the island builds up to complete chaos. When they realize there is no one coming to pick them up from the island, both men go down a path of madness.  Howard (the young one, I’m addressing the characters by their last names, because they have the same first name), gets obsessed with the thought of wanting to be with the light within the lighthouse, and after they overstay their welcome on the island, Wake decides to go after the light on his own. He kills Wake (the older man), and he finally ventures up the lighthouse steps to the light.  Upon touching it, Howard screams in agony, and falls down the stairs. The movie ends with Howard crying in pain as seagulls are eating his insides.  Wh...

The Crow: Wicked Prayer Was Hard for Me to Take Seriously

Image
  Credit to  The Crow: Wicked Prayer | Rotten Tomatoes This is one of the few horror movies that I wasn’t able to finish. This movie…feels kind of like a rip off to the original masterpiece. I should have already known that this movie was going to suck. I had already heard from several family members that the first three were pretty good, but they never bothered to mention the fourth movie.  I finally get why they never told me about checking out the fourth one.  The Crow: Wicked Prayer is so freaking dumb. The acting in this movie was so questionable. And that’s because we had three decent actors that I was already familiar with in the horror genre.  Danny Trejo from Dusk Till Dawn. David Boreanaz from the Bones TV show.  Edward Furlong from Terminator 2, where he played the kid.  All three of them gave out great performances in their own horror movies, so why did they seem off in this movie??? Most likely it had to do with the script, but I think it ...

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...
