Apple TV+ Announces Haunting Docuseries "The Enfield Poltergeist"

Apple TV+ Announces Haunting Docuseries “The Enfield Poltergeist”

Today, Apple TV+ announced the new four-part documentary series “The Enfield Poltergeist,” which tells the riveting story of the most famous poltergeist haunting in history. Combining more than 250 hours of rare audio archive, meticulous recreation of the setting of the haunting and original interviews with the people impacted by the case, the series is an ambitious genre-bending story that explores the human fascination with the unexplained and its impact on those who live it. In 1977, the terrifying haunting of an everyday family in Enfield, London, dominated headlines across the United Kingdom and had a tremendous impact on an entire generation of children. The mysterious case forever changed ideas about the supernatural and that it wasn’t just restricted to castles and stately homes but could be experienced by anyone, anywhere. The chilling story has inspired fictionalized versions of the case, including the film The Conjuring 2, a television series and two stage plays. Over the four episodes, the events

Directors Lee Roy Kunz And Cru Ennis Discuss Their Horror Film 'Deliver Us' In An Interview

Directors Lee Roy Kunz And Cru Ennis Discuss Their Horror Film ‘Deliver Us’ In An Interview

There is a new supernatural horror film that is about to debut and it should definitely be on your radar: Deliver Us. I happened to have had the pleasure of talking with the directors behind the film that can best described as unique and stunning, two words I rarely get to use when it comes to horror films. In the film, “when a nun in a remote convent claims immaculate conception, the Vatican sends a team of priests to investigate. Concerns grow that an ancient prophecy is about to be fulfilled: that a woman will give birth to twin boys – one the Messiah, the other the Anti-Christ – and the ensuing battle will determine the world’s fate.” Lee Roy Kunz, who directs alongside Cru Ennis, not only penned the script (along with his brother Kane), but also stars as the film’s male lead, a troubled young priest. Kuz and Ellis also produced the film under their World’s Fair Pictures

Review: The Spirit Halloween Monopoly Game Is A Must Have

Review: The Spirit Halloween Monopoly Game Is A Must Have

It’s officially Halloween season, and Spirit Halloween is celebrating with their brand new Spirit Halloween Monopoly board game which is available now. This no regular, boring game of Monopoly, no. It’s based on the store that is as iconic to the holiday as ghosts and ghouls. In the box, featuring the company’s logo, you will find player pieces, that I’m guessing are made of pewter. They are in the form of a spider, a cat, a coffin, a pumpkin, and the Spirit Halloween spirit. Like the standard game, you will find cash ($10 to $500). There are also buildings, and “Trick” cards that let you buy things like costumes, but beware, there are Trick cards that put the trick in trick ‘r treat. These cars can make you do things like go back spaces. There are also Treat cards that feature cool surprises. The board and pieces really give you the sense that you are in the store. The board

Hair-Raising New Small Town Monsters Doc 'Werewolves Unearthed' Is Out This October

Hair-Raising New Small Town Monsters Doc ‘Werewolves Unearthed’ Is Out This October

Documentarian Ward Hiney and skeptical journalist Chad Christy have teamed up, along with Small Town Monsters, to chase down leads of dogman sightings in the Ohio Valley. Stories of werewolves have drifted from European folklore into modern American pop culture, percolating in the subconscious of the populace for centuries. These tales often tell of terrifying, half-man/half-canid beings that roam the forests and fields after dark. Most think of them as little more than campfire stories meant to scare children, but for some, there is much more to this than mere mythology. Now filmmaker Ward Hiney, leading Werewolves Unearthed, a new Small Town Monsters production, is set to lift the veil on the enigmatic “dogman” of North America. A recent rash of werewolf sightings in western Pennsylvania has grabbed the attention of documentarian Ward Hiney. In order to get to the truth behind these ongoing encounters, he enlisted journalist and ardent skeptic Chad Christy in an effort to film their investigation,
