Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Barbara Crampton
Well my little Monsters, what started out as a difficult decision as to which wonderful Woman of Horror I should focus on quickly became a no brainier.

She grew up in Vermont, and would spend her summers trekking across the country with her father, who was employed by a traveling carnival.

Her love for the art continued to grow as she studied acting at Rutland Senior High School before going on to Vermont’s Castleton State College where she would earn a Bachelor’s degree in Theater Arts.

Movie Review: CHUPACABRA TERRITORY Is Territory Best Undiscovered
The Chupacabra (that’s “goat sucker” to you and me, Rusty) has been a cryptozoological legend for decades with some of the first reported attacks occurring in Puerto Rico in the spring of 1995. Since then, there have been dozens of sightings of this cryptid creature. It’s that king of curiosity that will motivate a group of four friends to journey out in search of the elusive sanguine sucker. They meet with resistance, as a park ranger initially tries to shoo them away from their intended destination. But they will not be denied and find their way back into the off limits wilderness area. Along the way they encounter another group of folks, as well as a creepy gas masked biologist. But will they discover their intended quarry – the chupacabra? And if they do, will they live to tell the tale or at least have the footage to prove it? Found footage has become an increasingly popular method of movie

University Finds 7,000 Bodies On Campus Grounds During Construction
Imagine, if you will, discovering that you have been walking, working, living on a property then discovering that you have been doing all of that with 7,000 bodies buried under your feet. Sounds like the setting of a horror film doesn’t it? It is not. That’s exactly what happened to the people who live and work on the University of Mississippi Medical Center campus. In 2013, when construction began on a road running through UMMC 66 coffins were uncovered. In 2014 during the building of a parking just east of the dental school, a crew using underground radar found 1,000 more bodies. Now, they are estimating 7,000 or more bodies are buried on the campus. So, where did the bodies come from? Mississippi’s first mental institution, built in 1855, once stood where the collage is now. The 7,000 coffins belong to the patients who did not survive their stay in the insane asylum. Their remains are spread over 20 acres
