We all know what a Ouija board is and we’ve all heard the warnings of what can happen, hauntings, possessions, ect… For Patricia Quispe, a girl in Lima, Peru, the repercussions of dabbling with the occult have become very real. Allegedly, the girl became possessed after using an Ouija app on her phone. Quispe was brought to the local hospital by ambulance at the request of her family.

‘The Cabin in the Woods’ has been hailed as one of the most important horror films of the past decade. At the end it appeared the world was coming to an end, or was it?

Alright, I can understand if that’s hard to grasp, but it’s exactly what it sounds like. Developed by Blooming Buds studios, Calendula is a horror puzzle game purposefully wrought with bugs and glitches to challenge you along the way.

While the homepage for the game claims it’s on Steam Greenlight, a quick search on Steam finds no record of the game. Is this because it truly doesn’t exist? Or is this all part of their viral marketing scheme – because being a game that doesn’t
