Movie Review: Cold Moon is a Deft Blend of Southern Gothic and Slasher
What could go wrong here I ask ya: Young Margaret goes riding pell mell on her bicycle all around the small Southern town she calls home. Her grandmother (who I will get back to the deeper we go into this revoltin’ review) begins to engage in a near cataclysmic level of frettin’ which lets us know that things are going to take a turn for the lousy AF with utmost quickness. Not convinced enough? How about that foreboding wind and rain that suddenly roll on in? Or how about that murder machine of a man (who drives a hearse because ‘subtle’ is his middle name) that chucks Margaret of a bridge after strangling her. Well, I guess that last one is more like the actual deed than any sort of foreshadowing, but you know what I mean… Anyway, Margaret’s body is fished out of the water and we learn she was knocked up six ways to Sunday when she met

Except he’s not and Freddy can’t get his claws out of the kid’s face. All of a sudden, chains, like the movie Hellraiser, go all around Freddy…pull him up and lock him…like he’s a scarecrow.”

T. Love’s Top 5 Chilling Classical Musical Pieces For Halloween
Halloween is very nearly upon us, my Little Monsters, and it’s a time when we like to surround ourselves with all manner of, shall we say, spooky shit. We watch our favorite horror films, adorn our homes with decor, or whatever it may take to create the mood that is befitting this ghoulish holiday. But sometimes we need a little something extra to create the proper atmosphere or ambiance, and the right music can absolutely do it. That’s why I have chosen to share five of my favorite (for one reason or another) creepy classical music compositions…in no particular order. Danse Macabre is a “tone poem” that was written by Camille Saint-Saëns and is based on a French legend. According to the legend Death would appear every year on Halloween at midnight and would request the dead to rise from their eternal slumber and dance about on their graves for him as he played a tune on his violin.

Dylan Sprouse Stars As A Psychopath In The Trailer For The Thriller ‘Dismissed’

While Cole Sprouse plays the role of “Jughead” on The CW’s series ‘Riverdale’, his brother Dylan is starring in the upcoming thriller Dismissed whose trailer has just arrived. In the film, transfer student Lucas Ward seems like an exemplary student with a love of English, going above and beyond for the perfect grade. He’s certainly the favorite of high school teacher Mr. Butler. Then again, all rising serial killers seem that way. The signs start to show when Lucas gets a B+, bringing out his need to be the best at everything. He also doesn’t mind harming his classmates. Directed by Benjamin Arfmann, the film was co-stars Kent Osborne, Randall Park, Chris Bauer, Alycia Delmore, and Rae Gray, and was written by Brian McAuley.
