The story is odd in the beginning and gets slowly darker as it progresses. Our protagonist, Mr. Harris, has slowly become more and more obsessed with his own skeleton – which he only sees as a symbol of death, as an enemy. He sees his skeleton not as a part of him, but as a separate entity continually working against him… eventually coming to believe his skeleton is trying to kill him. While it's obvious the man is quite mad, it's still an interesting journey as he plunges further down into his madness as the story moves forward.SOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Skeleton” by Ray Bradbury: https://amzn.to/3TY0esqWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. =====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

While New Nightmare has its moments of creativity and strong performances, it ultimately falls short of delivering the thrills and chills that fans expect from a Nightmare on Elm Street film. It's a thought-provoking entry in the franchise, but one that lacks the cohesive storytelling and visceral scares that made the original films classics. For die-hard fans of the series, it may be worth a watch, but for those seeking a truly terrifying experience, it may leave you wanting more.

Valentine's Day is supposed to be about love, but leave it to Hollywood to remind us that sometimes your girl gets snatched up by a 500-year-old vampire with a hairline worse than LeBron in 2014.

From shadowy corridors to seductive stares, Nosferatu takes romance to a toxic, undead level, proving that no man is safe when a vampire with 500 years of game pulls up. And speaking of legendary cinematic moments, I had to bring up one of my own—yep, my old music video got a mention in this episode.

And it'll likely show up again somewhere this year as well. In this episode we'll look at how Nosferatu isterrifyingly relevant even still today, the controversial making of the film – and the lawsuit by Bram Stoker's wife, how the director of the film was involved in the occult… and how you would not have wanted to miss the film's premiere which was an unforgettable, epic event all by itself.

This week, I'll explore the peculiar true story that inspired William Peter Blatty to write the  book and screenplay for the 1973 hit film "The Exorcist."  This is the story of a boy around 14 years old who experienced something truly bizarre back in 1949. And unlike Regan in the exorcist, whose story is completely fabricated, this one is well documented, with lots of credible witnesses. And while we've known his story for quite some time, we only just learned his identity a few years ago. And he's not at all what you'd expect. Let's fix that.

Prisons had once been thought of as just holding areas to punish people.  In the late 1800s, a movement started that aspired to a higher ideal of  reform, rather than punishment. Eastern State Penitentiary was built to  launch that reformation in the American penal system. The prison's  edifice is formidable and resembles a castle. This eventually became the  most famous prison in the world. The prison ran for 142 years and today  serves as a museum that offers both historical and ghost tours and  hunts. Officers, inmates, staff and visitors have all reported haunting  activity for decades at the  prison. Join us as  we explore the history and hauntings of the Eastern State Penitentiary!
