The holiday season is here and it’s time to shop for gifts but there are a couple problems, someone on your list is into collecting creepy things, you’re being forced to get a gift for someone you really don’t like. Fear not (or do fear) the perfect gift is here for you, your very own Robert the Doll! Who’s Robert? Before there was Annabel, there was a doll dressed like a little sailor living in Key West Florida. Why say he’s “Living” in Key West? Many believe that the straw-filled toy is, in fact, alive due to malevolent supernatural forces. Robert was given to a boy, also named Robert, by a house servant in the 1900’s, since then Robert’s family would hear Robert talking to the doll and thought Robert would talk back to himself, changing his voice, but Robert would claim it was the doll talking. Neighbors reported seeing the doll move from window to window while the family

This holiday season, a serial killer couple decked out as Mr. and Mrs. Claus are painting the town red, with blood, in Once Upon a Time at Christmas. The film hails from the team behind The Last Scout, White Collar Hooligan series, and the vampiric TV series Age of the Living Dead. Sayla de Goede and Simon Philips star as the way too jolly, murderous couple. Brook Fletcher, Laurel Brady, Jeff Ellenberger, Devon Mary Doherty, and Christina Vernucci co-star. From the Press Release: Couples that slay together; stay together! Meet Santa and Mrs. Claus: he’s a one-eyed fiend, she’s a curvy, bat-swinging blonde. This serial-killer couple is terrorizing the holidays in an upstate New York town with a series of horrific homicides. Though the victims seem random — a mall Santa, a smooching couple, an innocent family — high-schooler Jennifer and clever cop Sam begin to unravel the sinister pattern behind the slayings. Can they stop the murders before Christmas

Halloween is very nearly upon us, my Little Monsters, and it’s a time when we like to surround ourselves with all manner of, shall we say, spooky shit. We watch our favorite horror films, adorn our homes with decor, or whatever it may take to create the mood that is befitting this ghoulish holiday. But sometimes we need a little something extra to create the proper atmosphere or ambiance, and the right music can absolutely do it. That’s why I have chosen to share five of my favorite (for one reason or another) creepy classical music compositions…in no particular order. Danse Macabre is a “tone poem” that was written by Camille Saint-Saëns and is based on a French legend. According to the legend Death would appear every year on Halloween at midnight and would request the dead to rise from their eternal slumber and dance about on their graves for him as he played a tune on his violin. Upon

Now I know what you’re thinking, my Little Monsters, “wasn’t there a HorrorHound Weekend in Indianapolis just a month ago?” Yes there was, but the good folks at HorrorHound have decided to return to Columbus, OH and make it a part of their regular annual rotation. So just when you thought all the horror related festivities around Halloween have ended, HorrorHound Weekend keeps them alive by holding another rousing weekend of everything we love to fear at the Crown Plaza Columbus North, just after Halloween, on November 3rd, 4th and 5th. As we make that downhill run towards Christmas, HorrorHound will help kick it off with a Christmas themed convention. There will be celebrity guests from such movies as Gremlins, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Silent Night Deadly Night, Jack Frost, Black Christmas and even A Christmas Story, as well as many other genre favorites. They will also be holding the Ink Fusion Tattoo Festival, a retirement party for Fritz the
