If Ed Gein Lived in 2025, Would He Still Be a Monster? by NWO Sparrow
When the Closet Turns Into a Coffin: The Real Horror Behind Ed Gein and America’s Fear of Gender Ryan Murphy has never been afraid to walk us through America’s darkest corridors. With his new Netflix series Monster: The Ed Gein Story, he’s about to pull us into the heartland of mid-century Wisconsin, where repression and religion built the kind of monster only small-town America could produce. The horror of Ed Gein’s story isn’t just in the grave-robbing, skin suits, or mutilated bodies found in that isolated farmhouse. It’s in the way America taught men like Gein to hate themselves long before they learned how to harm others.

Netflix Spins a New Hit with Monster series
Netflix subscribers have come a long way. Long ago we waited for our DVD to arrive in the mail to watch the latest flick. Then RedBox took over the new movies on DVD point of interest, and Netflix evolved into a subscription channel for anyone who could download the app or add the channel to their cable package. While some Netflix subscribers who are into Horror and Fantasy shows may still be patiently awaiting another season of "The Witcher" or "Stranger Things" (like me) we've had to find other shows to get on with, and I found the Monster series on Netflix an acceptable replacement along with "Wednesday" (the girl from the Addams family) which only aired 16 episodes at 2 seasons. Fans into Goth Theater like this kind of stuff, and Halloween lovers tend to enjoy the Horror Genre. It seems that Netflix is carving out a niche in the Horror and Fantasy genres by serving their subscribers a buffet of spooky entertainment. I'm satisfied, and applaud the Netflix Big Dogs for switching to Fan Servitude over stuff like "13 Reasons Why" which was simply too controversial.

The Vanishing: Five Lost in the Bennington Triangle
Prologue — Cold Wind Over Glastenbury The wind comes down off Glastenbury Mountain like a long, patient breath. It moves through the black spruce and red maple, rattles the old logging roads, and combs the cleared lines where a town used to be. If you stand quiet enough, you can hear it whistle through things that are no longer here: clapboard houses, mill wheels, footfalls. Voices.

The Scariest Basement Story You’ll Ever Read
Imagine this: it’s late at night, and you’re tucked into bed, the house quiet except for the usual creaks and groans of an old home settling. Then, out of nowhere, you hear it-a faint tap, tap, tap coming from somewhere below. You freeze, straining to listen. Is it the pipes? A branch against the window? Or… something else? That’s exactly where the Bowen family found themselves in the fall of 1986, and let me tell you, their story will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

The Sounds From the Attic: The Hinterkaifeck Mystery. Content Warning.
I. The Wind Over Hinterkaifeck The wind still moves through the place where the farm once stood. A lonely patch of earth in Bavaria, swallowed by grass and overburden. Locals say the ground there feels wrong, like it hums faintly when the night grows too still. They call it Hinterkaifeck, though the farmhouse itself is long gone. All that remains is the story. And what a story it is dear readers...

The Good Reverend: A Tale That’ll Leave You Speechless
Picture this: a snowy afternoon in rural Michigan, January 1909. A man in a black suit, cloak billowing in the icy wind, kisses his wife and kids goodbye, hops on his horse, and gallops off into the fading light. Sounds like the start of a cozy Western, right? But hold on-this isn’t that kind of story. This is the story of Reverend John Carmichael, a man whose journey to a nearby town took a turn so bizarre, so chilling, it’ll make you question what you think you know about the human mind. What happens when paranoia twists reality into something deadly? Let’s dive in.

Blood on the Mountain: A Chilling Tale from the Appalachian Trail
Imagine this: you’re standing by a quiet creek, the kind where the water whispers secrets as it slips over smooth stones. The air is crisp, the forest alive with the hum of nature. You cast your fishing line, hoping for a bite, but instead, you hear a voice-low, unfamiliar, creeping through the trees. Your heart skips. Is it a friendly hiker? Or something else entirely? That’s exactly where Ricky Williams found himself one fateful afternoon in May 2008, on the banks of Dismal Creek. And let me tell you, this story? It’s one that’ll make your skin crawl.
