Blog postI’ve watched this movie a few times now, and it never gets old. It’s always just as heart-pounding as the first time I saw it.
Hold on. Much like the movie, I’m starting at the end. Let’s back up.
Hell House LLC is an incredibly believable mockumentary/found footage flick directed by Stephen Cognetti. It follows the crew of the haunted house company dubbed Hell House LLC as it prepares for its opening night in a new location. The bulk of the movie attempts to explain why, on o -
Blog postImagine moving to a new town for a fresh start, only to find out that your child has become the target of kidnapping.
It begins when 7-year-old Jake Kennedy hears whispers outside his bedroom window. Tom and Jake Kennedy have moved to Featherbank after Jake’s mother dies, thinking they will start over and eventually forget the awful events of the past year. What they don’t know is that Tom and Jake have moved into a town that is battling demons from its own past, the “Whisper Man.” -
Blog post“He’s making a list, checking it twice. Going to find out who’s naughty or nice.”
It’s official. Santa Claus is coming to town this week. While excited children await presents and candy in the United States, in some parts of the world, children remain vigilant as they wait for their treats. These children have been told ghastly tales of frightening characters in an attempt to scare them into being good. In the first part of this list, we delved into Krampus, Pere Fouettard, and the Ka -
Blog postEveryone in the United States is familiar with Santa Claus. He’s the big, jolly guy with rosy cheeks and a white beard dressed in red that breaks into your home via a chimney (or window if you don’t have a chimney) on Christmas Eve to leave you presents under a slowly dying pine tree. If you’re good, he’ll give you what you want. If you’re bad, you’ll get coal. This is the tradition followed in the United States, but in other parts of the world, naughty children have much worse to fear during

Blog postCan a curse kill you?
According to Walter B. Cannon it can, and we can see the evidence of this all around us if we look hard enough.
It’s called Voodoo Death, and it is a very real phenomenon.
The term Voodoo Death refers to the sudden and unexplained death that is a result from a curse, typically a Voodoo curse. Essentially, this is a death caused specifically by a threat.

Blog postFor our final obscure unsolved mystery of Fiend Fest 2020, I present to you the double life of Laetitia Toureaux.
Laetitia Toureaux was an Italian woman who moved to Paris when she married. A few years later, her husband died, leaving her penniless. Taking a job at a glue factory to make ends meet, Laetitia spent her days at the factory, and spent her evenings carousing on the streets of Paris.

Blog postI always save the best for last…
In honor of Halloween week (not to mention the last week of Spooky Season), I watched John Carpenter’s Halloween (1978) for the millionth time. As with all the other times I’ve watched, it didn’t disappoint.
If you’ve never seen Halloween, the story goes like this… Laurie Strode is a babysitter in the small town of Haddonfield, IL. When escaped mental patient Michael Myers travels to the town, Laurie finds herself and her friends being stalked -
