Halloween Horrors: Pitch Meeting for The Shining

What’s more Halloween than an iconic horror movie directed by iconic director Stanley Kubrick from an iconic horror novel by Stephen King mocked by iconic Ryan George? Honestly, I remember not being all that impressed with The Shining when I saw it back in the 1980s. A rewatch is probably overdue.

Halloween Horrors: The Existential Dread of Simulation Theory

How about a nice helping of existential dread for the Halloween season?

Halloween Horror: Horrific Mining Disasters

Time for some real-life horror. How about disturbing mining disasters? As difficult and dangerous as working in an underground mine is now, it was a lot worse in the 19th century. At the Snaefell zinc mine on the Isle of Man, a government inspector had passed the mine’s ventilation just two days before some 36… Continue reading Halloween Horror: Horrific Mining Disasters
