vintage
Special effects may be lacking, but vintage horror films still manage to keep our palms sweating and blood pumping; a look back at retro horror films, stories, books and characters that prove everything is scarier in black and white.
The Ninth Hour of Malachi : SEASON 3
SEASON 3 Chapter 9 FATHER PAVEL’S PRIVATE JOURNAL: Entry dated November 5th, 2003. We found the root. It is a chamber beneath the foundation, clearly pagan. Ana is down here, but she is barely visible, encased in some type of crystalline growth...the stone has accepted the entity, and the girl is the final mortar. The anchor is here, not a relic, but a crude, petrified heart. Malachi will not yield until we destroy the physical core of its power.

For the faint of heart, beware! Hong Kong Fox Spirit Murder Incident
Today, I'm going to talk about the sensational fox spirit murder case that rocked Hong Kong in 1981. During that time, everyone in Hong Kong, from tea restaurants to office buildings, from taxi drivers to neighbors, was talking about this case. At night, when they turned off the lights to sleep, they had to keep a close eye on their children's cribs, afraid that something strange might come knocking at their door. This case was not groundless. The level of strangeness from start to finish was even more terrifying than the fox spirit stories in "Liaozhai".

Lose The Roses
New Orleans, 1925 Gazing out her bedroom window while wishing on the brightest star in the night sky, Stella tracks her mother’s stealthy traverse into Mrs. Hawthorne’s immaculate rose garden. Rows upon rows of roses, all colors and sizes sway in the evening breeze, a sultry dance. Their perfume fills the night air, peppery and sweet. The lustrous blade of mama’s pruning shears shines under a full moon, glinting. Why Mama steals Mrs. Hawthorne’s roses, she doesn’t understand.

Reasons I (and everyone else) Would Be Burned As A Witch
The events in Salem were but one chapter in a long story of people being hunted, tried and killed for acts of witchcraft. Although, arguably the most famous, the Salem Witch Trials occurred late in the sequence, with hunts and executions beginning in Europe, around 1330.

Something Watches from the Tree Line...
The first sign is never what people expect. It isn’t a scream. It isn’t a shape. It isn’t even fear... The very first moment is the instant the woods stop sounding normal. Hunters, loggers, campers, soldiers; people who spend their lives outdoors, all describe it the same way. Birds go silent. Wind drops. Insects vanish as if someone flipped a switch. The forest doesn’t explode into chaos. It holds its breath... And that’s when people realize they are no longer alone in the way they thought they were.

The Zodiac Killer: Randomness as Rehearsal?
California, late 1960s... The country was loud. Televisions glowed late into the night. Radios carried voices across highways and into homes. America was watching itself, war overseas, unrest in the streets, optimism colliding with anxiety in real time. And in that noise, something learned how to whisper.
