Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark Comes To Life In New Eight Minute Featurette

The classic illustrations by Stephen Gammell in the book “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” terrified multiple generations. In a new 8-minute featurette from producer Guillermo del Toro and director André Øvredal‘s new movie, we watch as the illustrations are turned into disturbingly realistic creatures by Spectral Motion.

New App SLASHER Is Taking A Stab At Horror

There’s a new horror app on the horizon, SLASHER and it has set out to connect the community with everything they love about horror, news, reviews, the community and much more. In light of social networks recently putting restraints on the horror community and others, SLASHER wants to offer a space where such things like the human body being used in horror movies and art aren’t a problem. You deserve a destination that will welcome creativity without such an extreme level of censorship. There is only one solution, “Make Horror R Again”. SLASHER will follow the same guidelines as the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America). In other words, if the content is acceptable in a movie like Friday the 13th, then it will be acceptable on SLASHER. Having seen photos being blurred for ‘content’ and ‘#horror’ being considered a red flag is an eye-opening situation. Blurring content for gore on a PG-13 platform isn’t unreasonable, but to have the
