Sarah (Jeanne Dessart) and David (Nicolas Couchet) are a couple of orphans what lived a hard knock life indeed! Their Uncle Simon (Michel Coste) put the murder biz on their parents, and they spent most of their lives separated at different orphanages. Oh, there’s another thing about ol’ sinister simon; he loves himself the black magic, and he sent Sarah one of those ghoulish grimoires all the rage with witches ages 13 – 45.

One of the most popular paranormal series on TV today (and one of my personal favorites) is Travel Channel’s “The Dead Files”. The series follows psychic empath Amy Allan and retired NYPD homicide detective Steve DiSchiavi. The team splits up with Amy heading to the location plagued by paranormal activity while Steve investigates the location’s history. In the end, the two meet with the families to discuss their findings and how to move forward and solve the issue. I sat down with Steve to discuss his role in the series and his experience prior to joining the show which is now in its thirteenth season. Outspoken and brutally honest, Steve holds nothing back. Horror Fuel: “How did you go from being an NYPD detective to starring on “The Dead Files?” Steve: “You want the short version or the long version? I’ll give you the short version. ABC News did a documentary on the NYPD as part of a series. It

Podcasters William (Tyler Gallant) and Jessica (Elissa Dowling) have just been handed the opportunity of a lifetime; to document a cursed forest, all expenses paid courtesy of Laura Benott (the legendary Felissa Rose of my beloved Sleepaway Camp). The duo agree, and along with their gal pal Erin (Sarah French), trek out into those wicked woods where they are besieged by supernatural shenanigans on every side… but our gang of goofs soldier on, though if they’ll make it through this arcane ordeal intact remains to be seen! To be honest, Rootwood doesn’t re-invent the wicked wheel in terms of horror biz cliches (as that sinister synopsis up yonder will doubtless prove), but is that a bad thing? Well, fifty-fifty cats n’ creeps… Director Marcel Walz and screenwriter Mario von Czapiewski certainly deliver a truly creepy experience, with a solid dash of mythology and world building sprinkled on top, and that goes a long way with yours cruelly.

A few days ago we reported that you can visit the legendary Winchester Mystery House without leaving the comfort of your couch. Today, we’re here to tell you about another iconic location you can visit via virtual tour while in isolation or quarantine, The Catacombs of Paris. In the 1700s, major health problems began to surface in Paris due to the city’s numerous, over-flowing cemeteries with Saints-Innocents cemetery being the largest. The city’s solution, to move the dead to an underground area known at the time as the Tombe-Issoire quarries. Over six million bodies were put into a one-mile section of the 200 miles long maze of tunnels that lays below the streets of Paris. Stacked from wall to ceiling in patterns and made into art, the bones of the dead are laid bare for all to see. The sign that greets you the catacombs reads ‘Stop. This is the empire of death.’ Some visit the site out of morbid

Jimmy Bones(Snoop Dogg) was one bad-ass mother fucker in the ’70s; a true gangster’s gangster that ultimately was betrayed by a friend and met his demise in a deal gone south. Flash forward to the ‘mazing future year 2001, and Bones’ ol’ crib is purchased by a group of young entrepreneurs who hope to turn it into a nightclub. This causes the spirit of Bones to rise, and he immediately sets his sights on getting powerful enough to enact his supernatural revenge plot on those that did his ass oh-so wrong back in the disco days… and woe be to any mother fucker that gets in his way! I’m not here to mince words with you cats n’ creeps, so let me just say that Bones is a huge amount of frightful fun!

Jason Hawes, Steve Gonsalves and Dave Tango, the paranormal investigators responsible for igniting the ghost hunting phenomenon, are back for more adventures to the other side in the second season of “Ghost Nation.” This season’s locations have bigger mysteries, are more chilling, and have never been investigated on television. Not only will the team be helping distraught homeowners, but they’re also bringing their skills to an abandoned prison complex and a menacing tattoo parlor. And this time, they are calling in an old friend for some help. Paranormal investigator Shari DeBenedetti joins the investigations to keep a close eye on the monitors, reviewing footage on the hunt for all things paranormal. In each episode, with all investigations, collecting evidence is just the beginning. The team isn’t just parachuting in to conduct a cursory review of the case.
