Delicious and Dark: A Review of Heretic Parfum's Season of the Witch Discovery collection

Delicious and Dark: A Review of Heretic Parfum’s Season of the Witch Discovery collection

Let’s be honest: the quest for a signature scent is often a soul-crushing march through a department store haze. Most fragrances are mass-produced to appeal to everyone. And that usually results in you smelling exactly like the stranger standing next to you in the elevator. However, if you’re looking to break the cycle of the mundane, it’s time to seek out the unconventional. Enter Heretic Parfum Heretic is currently making waves by rejecting the industry’s “pretty” standards in favor of something far more provocative. By leaning into gothic themes and utilizing unexpected botanical combinations, they’ve created an olfactory experience that feels less like a cosmetic and more like an incantation. The Gateway to the Occult: Discovery Sets We all know the struggle: you don’t want to drop a small fortune on a full-size bottle only to realize it doesn’t vibe with your chemistry. Heretic solves this with their meticulously curated discovery sets. However, these aren’t samples; they are vials serving

Watch: Showrunners Victor LaValle and Chris Cantwell Tease "The Terror: Devil in Silver" in Our Interview

Watch: Showrunners Victor LaValle and Chris Cantwell Tease “The Terror: Devil in Silver” in Our Interview

After a seven-year hiatus that felt longer than a winter in the Arctic, AMC’s prestige horror anthology is finally back to remind us that being trapped in a room is much worse than being trapped in the tundra. “The Terror: Devil in Silver” officially premieres on May 7, 2026, on AMC+ and Shudder, with a linear run on AMC to follow later this year. This six-episode descent into madness moves the franchise away from historical shipwrecks and internment camps, landing squarely in the claustrophobic nightmare of a modern psychiatric ward. One Way Ticket to Hell Based on the 2012 novel by Victor LaValle, the season follows Pepper (Dan Stevens), a working-class man whose “bad luck and bad temper” land him in New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital. Pepper quickly realizes that New Hyde is where society sends the people it wants to forget. Between the gaslighting doctors, the hostile patients, and a mysterious entity known as “The Devil” lurking in the shadows,

Spoiler-Free Reviews: Imposters and Little Doors (Calgary Underground Film Festival)

Spoiler-Free Reviews: Imposters and Little Doors (Calgary Underground Film Festival)

Imposters (U.S., 2026) Official Synopsis After a couple’s baby boy is taken, the desperate mother learns of a way to bring him back. However, her husband begins to suspect that what she returned with isn’t their son. Review Writer/director Caleb Phillips combines changeling folklore with “The Monkey’s Paw” elements and science fiction doppelganger twists in his feature film Imposters. Paul (Charlie Barnett) and Marie (genre-film favorite Jessica Rothe) are having marital problems, and things get decidedly worse when their baby disappears during a party the couple is throwing in their new countryside home. Mysterious neighbor Orson (Bates Wilder), tells a willing Marie and a highly skeptical Paul about an enigmatic cave in which they might find their son. I won’t go into more plot detail than that, as Phillips has plenty of twists and surprises in store for viewers. Sharing equal time with the fear-fare elements is the marital drama between Paul and Marie, which heightens the proceedings and stakes

Spoiler-Free Review: SHED (Screamfest 2025)

Spoiler-Free Review: SHED (Screamfest 2025)

Official Synopsis Mia, a courageous 10-year-old girl who is locked in a shed, must survive inconceivable odds whilst trying to discover what happened to her family. Review Writer/director/editor Steven J. Mihaljevich’s Shed (Australia, 2025) is a taut horror thriller boasting a fantastic performance from young Mani Shanks as Mia, a little girl who is locked in the family shed by her little brother during a game. Unbeknownst to her, something awful befalls her family, and after a few days surviving by herself, a maniacal stranger (Jason Robert Lester) discovers her presence. The film starts off as a survival horror in the confinement of the shed before turning into a cat-and-mouse chiller in a wider area. I don’t want to give away too much more than that, as Shed is rich with surprises. Mia is a resourceful youngster who doesn’t give up easily, and her clever ideas for staying alive are more realistic than precocious “superkid”-style elements. Shanks captured Screamfest’s Best
