Suspect Arrested In "Down The Hill" Murder Mystery

Suspect Arrested In “Down The Hill” Murder Mystery

Internet sleuths, true crime podcasts, and youtube mystery channels at one point in the last couple of years would have talked about the Delphi Murders, or the “Down the hill” case as some call it that occurred in 2017 and shook the pillars of an Indiana community. On February 14th, 2017, Abigail Williams (13) and Liberty German (14) were hiking on and around the abandoned Monon High Bridge that was over Deer Creek, a popular hiking spot. Liberty posted a picture on Snapchat showing Abigail walking on the bridge around 2:07 pm but at 3:15 the girls failed to show up at the meeting place with Liberty’s Father.

Terror Films Gifts Horror Fans The Trailer For Anthology 'The Christmas Tapes'

Terror Films Gifts Horror Fans The Trailer For Anthology ‘The Christmas Tapes’

Halloween has passed (*sad face) so now it’s time to move on to the other upcoming holiday films, including Robert Livings and Randy Nunldall Jr.’s Christmas horror anthology The Christmas Tapes. The film centers on a family’s movie night on Christmas Eve which is interrupted by a stranger, insistent on making the next Christmas ‘classic’ film himself. Dave Sheridan (The Devil’s Rejects), Greg Sestero (The Room), and Veron Wells (The Road Warrior) star in a yuletide fright-fest like no other! The movie is described as a throwback to the anthology films of the 80s and 90s, but with a modern found-footage twist. Christmas Horror is a subgenre that we feel deserves more attention, and this film came about from us discussing the classics and how we could possibly bring something new to the table. From day one, we were aware that this film had to be fun and could not take itself too seriously. Developing each segment and the trajectory
