Serial killers, there’s no doubt that it’s a subject that fascinates us as a society. The evidence can be found in the popularity of movies and books chronicling the exploits of these real life monsters. Said fascination has even served as inspiration for the creation of fictional serial killers for the printed page and the big screen, who have taken their place in popular culture right beside their real life counter parts. But truth is, if you’ll pardon the cliché, stranger than fiction. One such person, who has spent time shedding light on the truths behind some of these historical homicidal maniacs, is author and filmmaker John Borowski. To date Borowski has made four documentary films about real life serial killers: Serial Killer Culture, Carl Panzram: The Spirit of Hatred and Vengeance, Albert Fish: In Sin He Found Salvation and my personal favorite of the bunch, H.H. Holmes: America’s First Serial Killer. Additionally he has written three books on the

“Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love.” – Charles M. Schulz Let’s face it, unrequited love is a real son-of-a-bitch! It’s like being stabbed in the heart with a dagger, made of pure love and emotion, all the way to the hilt and broken off in your chest…or something like that. It may be different for some, but I digress. James is an unorthodox young man, who takes care of his loony old grandmother. He also likes photography and hanging out in the cemetery, while sometimes singing little ditties about a “cheesecake of love”. He’s also a young man who fully understands the aforementioned concept of unrequited love, because he too is afflicted. The object of his desires is a beautiful young woman named Jane. And while James hasn’t directly expressed this to her, it’s anyone’s guess as to whether Jane is privy to his feelings for her or how deeply said feelings run. However,

We may have a trailer to watch within the next day or so for the newest adaption of Stephen King’s IT. This assumption comes after IT producer Barbara Muschietti, dropped a series of post on Instagram featuring photos from the set of the film featuring Jaeden Wesley, Chosen Jacobs, Jack D. Grazer, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Wyatt Oleff, Sophia Lillis and Finn Wolfhard in character as the Losers clan (fans of the Stephen King adaption and novel would know I’m referring to the Loser Club, a club formed by the characters as a way of joining together all misfits).

The posting of these photos, which were done daily for about a week, suggest production is doing a countdown to some big reveal. Like the 1990

It will “take fans on an exciting, fun, and emotional journey through Englund’s years as Freddy Krueger with stories and anecdotes, all while paying tribute to the legacy of Wes Craven.” I was inspired by the vintage photos of the legendary artist Jack Pierce applying the Frankenstein makeup to Boris Karloff.
