Video Games, the mention of that word brings up many images the most common one being someone who’s wasting their life over “Cheap” entertainment. Well, a gamer like me and others can say one thing; it’s an expensive hobby and we get a lot of enjoyment out of it. Video Games and Gaming itself has evolved over the years and has developed a strong subculture and industry that brings in billions of dollars a year, combining revenue made by the Gaming industry in 2017 they made $108 Billion in total, more than oil company Gazprom made last year ($102.1B)!

The Avant-Garde Charm Of ‘A Page Of Madness’

When we think of Japanese Horror (J Horror) we think of movies like Ju-on (‘The Grudge’) Ringu (‘The Ring’) and classics like Kwaidan but those we’re dealing with the supernatural, things that some will feel they have a zero and donuts chance of encountering or telling themselves “It’s just a movie.” But an experimental film in 1926 took everything a step further by touching on the subconscious fear of the audience, reality itself. The film, A Page of Madness was directed by Teinosuke Kinugasa and released in Japan in 1926 and was feared lost after WWII till Kinugasa rediscovered the film in 1971 in a storehouse that he hid it in. The silent film has received a lot of mix reviews, a lot of the negative ones are based on the fact that they literally don’t know what’s going on. Unlike most western silent films movie buffs are used to, Japanese silent films did not have intertitles, we now call

Evelyn Dick: The Torso Murders

I recently moved from Canada and so, to celebrate that life change, I thought that I would do a quick article about one of the most notorious crimes and trials in Canadian history. You cut off his legs… You cut off his arms… You cut off his head… How could you Mrs Dick? How could you Mrs Dick? This once-popular nursery rhyme discusses the murderess Evelyn Dick (born October 13, 1920) in Beamsville Ontario. She was found guilty for the press-titled Torso Murders. In 1946, a group of children playing found a human torso…just the torso. It was finally determined that he torso belonged to Evelyn’s (late) husband, Donald. It was discovered that his arms, legs, and head had been disposed of in the furnace of his own home. His wife, Evelyn, who was well known for her beauty, was quickly arrested, found guilty of the murder, and sentenced to hang. However, she was acquitted and remained free until the

New Comic “Morte” Drops Later This Month

Ever feel like no-one else can understand you? Well, if you’re the protagonist of “Morte”, that’d be because all your neighbors are hungry dead. With only one single word of dialogue, “Morte” tells the silent story of one man’s journey through the zombie infested remains of the world. The last living human, there’s nothing left to save, nothing to fight for; just base survival. Morte can be purchased for $4.00 digital, with a print release to come out at this year’s Day of the Dead convention. I know I’ll be picking one up.

Rob Zombie Narrates Charles Manson Documentary

The death of Charles Manson went without nearly as much fanfare or celebration as he had expected. This monster did absolutely heinous acts that amount to far more than orchestrating the murders he is famous for. He was a true life villain. And on December 3 on REELZ a Rob Zombie narrated documentary will be airing which focuses on Manson. This film is special because it will include Manson’s final words to media and family, Rob Zombie is the perfect pick for narration as his interest in Manson is very publically nearing obsession. “Narrated by musician and director Rob Zombie, the documentary focuses on the Manson family murders told from Manson’s perspective using never-before-seen case files, pictures and exclusive interviews with Manson himself from inside California State Prison.

‘Ghost Ship’ And Dead Crew Wash Ashore

Sky News reported that over the weekend in Japan a derelict wooden vessel washed ashore on Sado-an Island in the Sea of Japan. Japanese Coast Guard and local Police discovered the skeletal remains of eight men on board. Authorities believe the men are North Korean after life-vests with Korean writing where found on board as well. The conclusion that the men were North Korean came due to rising tensions between North Korea and the United States and a famine that’s occurring inside the isolated dystopian country which leads to the conclusion that these eight lost souls were fishermen sailing out in unfamiliar waters in the Sea of Japan to fish, a trend among North Korean Fishermen over the past year. Last week eight fishermen who identified themselves as North Korean were found on board their boat that was drifting in the Sea of Japan, they had experienced a problem with their vessel which resulted in it becoming disabled.
