This writer’s Twitter thread about his stay in a creepy log cabin is the stuff of nightmares

TwitterFacebook

Log cabins are a bit of a problem for writers.

On the one hand, they make pretty great places for a nice retreat — somewhere quiet and out of the way where you can really focus on that latest project. On the other hand, they’re scary as hell.

This is something Tom Taylor — Marvel and DC Comics writer and creator of TV series The Deep — recently discovered firsthand.

Taylor is currently working on a bunch of different projects: Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man for Marvel, DCeased for DC Comics (a horror book which sounds very appropriate in this case) and a feature film. To get his head down and focus, he decided to spend a few nights in a log cabin in the Australian bush. Read more…

9 scary movies that are surprisingly sexy

TwitterFacebook

Warning: Some super light spoilers lie ahead.

As any decent witch will tell you, spooky and sexy are not mutually exclusive.

The horror industry is a beast with as many subgenres as Medusa has heads. You can go gothic or slasher, found footage or torture porn, classic monster or heady nightmare—the possibilities are practically endless. 

But some horror fans’ needs are a little trickier to hunt down than others’. For example, what if you want to watch something that’s just a little… sexy? No, not full-blown horror erotica. Just a regular scary flick with some racy elements. Where do you find something so specific? Read more…

Here’s the scary movies you should watch this month

Halloween is my happy place. Sure, Thanksgiving is tasty. Christmas is cheery. My birthday is nice. But Halloween is my everything.

Growing up, my sister and I would cling to ABC Family’s 31 Nights of Halloween, blankets and candy corn in hand. We would consume hour after hour of “family friendly” scares in anticipation of All Hallows’ EveBeetlejuice, Hocus Pocus, Clue—ABC Family had it all.

17 terrifying creepypastas guaranteed to keep you up at night

The age-old tradition of telling ghost stories around a campfire has gotten a digital upgrade with creepypastas — scary stories or pictures that spread across message boards, becoming internet lore that are discussed both on and offline.

People around the word share their bizarre and terrifying creepypastas, hoping that the tales will gain popularity and become classics, often quoted or cited by horror fans and frightened netizens.

Like with the ghost stories of old, not all creepypastas are particularly scary or good, even if they are frequently passed around. Reading a long story with an interesting title or image is no guarantee of a frightening payoff, and the writers often forget that just having someone meeting a quick and unfortunate fate does not an interesting story make.

Mom discovers secret basement in her kitchen that’s almost certainly a portal to hell

TwitterFacebook

It sounds like the perfect start to a horror film, doesn’t it?

One minute you’re going about your business in the kitchen, maybe doing a spot of hoovering or something. And then the next minute, CLUNK — the hoover catches something in the floor. A loose tile. 

Flash forward five minutes and you’re standing there looking into what is quite clearly the back entrance to the underworld.
