Slenderman – The Modern Terror
A simple contest on June 10, 2009 by the internet forum Something Awful created a modern and unique monster. The contest challenged people to take everyday photographs and make them appear paranormal. Complete with comments from faux eye –witnesses, forum poster Victor Surge used images of groups of children and inserted a man. This man was tall, thin, white-faced and wearing a dark suit with a red tie. As this man stood ominously over the children, a phenomenon was born. Slenderman was not developed from ancient myths, or fairy tales. He is not found in a book and merely brought to life via media or film. This man is a wonderful piece of modern folk-lore. Generations from now, Slenderman will be included in the cannon of horror along with gremlins, trolls, the boogieman and everything else that goes bump in the night. One of the scariest things about Slenderman — and it was absolutely intended by his creator — is

Thankskilling
Wow. Wow. Wow. In all of the best ways…wow! Today is the inaugural year of my new Thanksgiving tradition! I just watched the film “Thankskilling” directed by Jordan Downey. If it were possible to give an emphatic slow clap of appreciation, Mr. Downey would receive one from me now. When your main star is named Wanda Lust and the plot is of a foul (or is it fowl) mouthed turkey who, due to a necromancer’s spell, appears every 500 years to slaughter all Caucasians for crimes against the Native Americans, you know the movie will be a phenomenal flick. No, I am not being sarcastic, and I am not taking a jab at this should-be classic, I thoroughly enjoyed it! For all you Oscar winning movie seekers, this probably isn’t your bag; however, for any of you out there who want a fun, ridiculous slasher that you can enjoy over and over again, invite this demonic turkey over and be

Elizabeth Bathory – The Blood Countess
For the most part, I try (especially in this series of articles concerning serial killers and mass murderers) to stick to the facts. I am of the opinion that these people’s deeds and lives are spicy enough without tarting them up with fantastical myths, rumors and opinions. With that disclaimer, the focus of today’s article has her life so twisted and ensnared by folklores and guesswork that it is hard to syphon through what is real and what is legend. I have corroborated with multiple sources and weeded out the obvious falsities to give the best possible outline of this The Blood Countess. It is rare to find a woman as vicious Countess Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed. I do not know why women masochists and murderers are not as prevalent as men– maybe they are simply smart enough not to get caught and be awarded with grim notoriety, or maybe they don’t act upon the blood lust that their male

Couple Recreates Classic Film Scenes With Their Cats
UK residents David and Sarah, the owners of two identical cats, have created a brilliant, must see Instagram account featuring their kitties in the lead roles of classic movies. We have two cats (who are almost identical) named Willow and Tara, though Tara is featured in most of our movie cat pics,” the pair told The Dodo. “We started doing it as a picture question in our pub quiz’s film/TV round, and it went down really well so we made it a regular thing.” The cute identical kitties are paid in treats. Which is a pretty good deal, if you ask me. It can be a challenge to get them to cooperate, but they get lots of treats so that tends to win them over to our nonsense,” David and Sarah said. “We’re going to keep making them. It’s a hilarious way to spend a Sunday!” For more from @MovieCats visit their Instagram account. Photo Credit: petguide.com
