Stephen King had a busy week, as he was filing to get the rights back to several 80s films based on his work. As it turns out, the films in question are The Dead Zone, Cujo, Creepshow, Cat’s Eye, Firestarter and Children of the Corn. The question on many horror fans’ minds is “why”? One rumor is that King wants control of the rights free and clear so that he can use the characters in the upcoming Hulu series Castle Rock, helmed by J.J. Abrams. That would imply that the new show will include elements from the period of what some argue is King’s best work. Either way, Castle Rock is certainly something for horror fans to look forward to. Stay tuned here at horrorfuel.com for all the details on the upcoming series.

We’re continuing our northward tour of haunted locations throughout America. We started in Key West, FL and now we’re visiting St. Augustine. St. Augustine is the oldest city in the United States, so it’s not really surprising that by most accounts it’s also among the top 3 most haunted cities in the U.S., too. Savannah, GA and New Orleans are often mentioned as the other two-thirds of the most haunted list. I’ve had the pleasure of going on ghost tours in both of those cities as well, and we’ll cover the top haunted locations in each, but for today we’re going to focus on the Florida city founded by Don Pedro de Aviles in 1585. Here are the top 5 haunted locations in St. Augustine, FL. Castillo de San Marcos This Spanish fort was built in the 17th century, and it’s packed with accounts of the paranormal.

While the new Conjuring universe may be continuing to expand, Warner Bros. may be in hot water. They have been hit with a massive lawsuit. In 1980, Gerald Brittle penned ‘The Demonologist’ for Ed and Lorraine Warren.

The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2 has gone on to spawn 3 spin-offs, Annabelle, The Nun, and The Crookedman, and 2 more sequels, Annabelle: Creation and The Conjuring 3 which is now in the works. You would think that everyone involved is raking in the money, but you would be wrong. Somehow, Brittle was forgotten about. Now, he is taking

An open letter is usually written by one person to another for the purpose of criticizing them in a public forum. But I say fuck that. Instead I am using it as a way to express my gratitude. And while it’s meant for her, I’ll probably also talk directly to you other readers as I give my spiel. Let me preface this letter with a little history. It was July 21st of 2016. I remember this because it’s my father’s birthday and he had passed away two years prior. I was writing for another publication, which will remain nameless, and I was struggling with my motivation for writing. It wasn’t that I didn’t have any ideas, it’s just that I was feeling in a rut.
