Room 306
The Desert Pine Motel sat on the side of a forgotten highway, its neon sign flickering between red and dead. Travelers only stopped there when they had no choice—when their cars broke down or the night stretched too long and empty. The rooms were cheap, the paint chipped, and the silence too heavy.

The Mirror That Knows Your Thoughts
It started with whispers. Not loud ones, not even clear—just faint murmurs that seemed to crawl through the room whenever Emily stood in front of her new antique mirror. She had bought it at a flea market in a small coastal town, drawn to its dark wooden frame carved with swirling ivy and strange symbols. The seller, an old woman with pale eyes, had smiled when Emily admired it.

Isle of Serpents
Nathairden House materialised out of the crepuscule like a pale spectre, and I, Frederick Lewis, was struck by its singularity. Visibility this evening is dismal due to a griseous miasma coating the entirety of the surrounding marshland.

The History of Halloween
Long before pumpkins glowed with candlelight and children roamed the streets in costumes, there was a night of fire and fear, of spirits and change. The story of Halloween begins more than two thousand years ago, with a festival called Samhain—a Celtic word pronounced “sow-in,” meaning “summer’s end.”

Demon With A Steel Hand
October 26, 1984 A sphere of chronal energy formed then dissipated, leaving behind a bent-over naked man. Bloody time travel and its constraints. He stood, dropping the clothes and other items he had brought with him. He dressed in his armor-plated clothing and then put on the holster and pistol, then finally threw on a trenchcoat, hiding the pistol. He then grabbed the monocle and fitted it over his right eye. He sighed, feeling much more comfortable. It sure would be nice to time travel fully dressed. Howard MNM walked off into the night.

The Ballistic Gastropod
It's easy to ignore the small things in life. Until they become hard to ignore. It was out there. Somewhere. And I, Dov Shannon, was worried about when it would show up.

The Brood
The Brood is a thoroughly sickening and repellent horror experience — but not until the climax and conclusion of the picture. It hovers over brutal, gory killings performed by seemingly child-like mutant dwarfs in little white suits. These are the minions, or so it seems, of psychiatric cult guru Dr. Raglan, played with subtle undertones of high menace by the late, great Oliver Reed. (Curiously, upon watching the film, we learned that co-starring lead actress Samantha Eggar — who also did a turn in the regrettable Mexican demon-possession flick Demonoid (1981), which is utterly forgettable but does have a great movie poster image of a bluish-black, sword-wielding demon with big-time horns — total eighties cheese heavy-metal album cover image — had literally died the week before. And they say there’s no greater structure to the Living Universe.)

Bloodred Metamorphosis
Drip, drip, drip. That fucking faucet. Fuck it. Drip, drip, drip. The marching cadence for my descent inward provided an almost four-to-the-floor backbeat for my transformation.

V/H/S Halloween is an Urban Legend Extravaganza
This is one of my favorite additions to the V/H/S franchise. I knew I was already going to watch it, since it was only going to be based on Halloween. I was not expecting every single story to be based on some kind of urban legend, and each segment was so awesome in its own way. The gore in this film was next level brutal, and no single person was shown any shred of mercy in any of these short films.

The House That Waited for Winter
Elliot Crane didn’t plan to stop that day. He had been driving aimlessly through the Vermont countryside, the late November air thin and gray, searching for something he couldn’t name. The trees stood bare, skeletal, and the sky had that flat white color that promised snow.
