The infamous Borden house in Fall River Massachusetts has been placed on the housing market! The historical site and Bed and Breakfast could be yours for a head-splitting (pun intended) two million dollars to own and operate according to the macabre realtor listing. The house was the site of the infamous Borden Ax Murders that gripped headlines at the time as the prime suspect of the murders was a woman named Lizzie. Lizzie Borden was accused of murdering her father, Andrew, and Stepmother, Abby, with a hatchet on the morning of August 4th, 1892.

Review: ‘The Wheel’ Is A Frightening Flick From Masters Of The Genre

While Ferris wheels can be a lot of fun, they can also be frightening as proven in Nikhil Bhagat’s fantastic short horror film The Wheel, set to be released this February. The film finds a woman (Molly Buecher) alone in a big empty house while her husband is on a trip shopping for antiques to sell in their shop. When he sends home an old toy Ferris wheel he has no idea of the terror it will unleash on his wife. The first thing I noticed right off to bat about The Wheel is its fantastic cinematography, rich look, and great camera work, which is top-notch and better than we usually see in short films. The acting from Molly Buecher was great and she really sells her fear which feels authentic. The dark entity who appears in the film is creepy as hell and has a killer look and design that we haven’t seen a million times before. This terrifying
