Anna Marie Hahn…Killer of the Elderly

Happy Women in Horror Month! This month we celebrate the women in the world of horror. I have done a number of articles on serial killers, mass murderers and other horrific people, but this moth I turn my focus to the world of female terror. Anna Marie Hahn (Filser) was born in Germany in 1906. She was the youngest of 12 children and started her scandalous life at a very early age. At 12 years old she had an affair with a married physician and birthed a son named Oskar. Her horrified family sent her to the States without her child to live with relatives there. While in America, she met and married fellow German immigrant Philip Hahn. After this marriage, she was reunited with her son. Anna, however was not the doting mother that fairy tales are made of. She had a severe gambling habit and began a life of robbery to pay her debts. On May 6, 1933

True Story

Hans Schmidt – The Demonic Priest

Before recent history, priests were deemed as holy patrons who helped their followers into salvation. The reputation of the priesthood has been sullied somewhat with heinous crimes, but priestly sin has a history that dates through centuries of history. There are, of course, holy man and women who have stayed true to the straight and narrow…but there are some who crimes and sins that are horrific on their own, but magnified due to the calling of the offender. 1881 marks the birth year of Hans Schmidt. He was born in Aschaffenburg Germany and ordained a priest in 1906. This vocation was not surprising as Schmidt immersed himself in religious practices as a child and earned the nickname The Little Priest. The religious fascination was bound with a fascination with sacrifices and young Schmidt would spend hours watching animals get butchered. Schmidt immigrated to Louisville, Kentucky in the USA in 1909 and was assigned to St. John’s Parish. An unknown issue

True Crime

Charles Manson – The Man Who Thinks He is Both Christ and Satan

Monsters are real. Many articles have and will be written about mass murderers, serial killers, sociopaths and every other type of terror anyone can imagine. That being said, there are few monsters who come close to the topic of today’s article. This man brainwashed others to do, in his own words, Satan’s work. He was a beacon of evil for lost and damaged souls to latch onto and feel part of something. This monster gave his disciples purpose…the abominable purpose of Helter Skelter. Charles Manson was never convicted of murder himself, but he has spent nearly a lifetime in prison for composing one of the most publicised and vicious mass murders in modern history…and that is only a fraction of his reign of terror. The timing of this article coincides with Manson being admitted to a California hospital due to an undisclosed illness. Rumour is that Manson is suffering from gastrointestinal issues, but it is against federal and state law

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

Get a Quick Scare with Home

Home, created by Benjamin Rivers and released in 2012, is touted as a unique horror adventure game by the developer. Everything that happens is entirely subjective, which is not commonly seen in games. The art is in a pixel style, making the game feel retro, especially when combined with the story taking place in text. It is a very simple game as controls only go forward, backward, raise your lamp, and select highlighted objects, which makes it perfect for mobile gaming. Going through the first time will only take an hour and it is best to play the game straight through. However, it requires multiple passes to achieve each of the different endings. The game is engaging for the first time, but it becomes very tedious and repetitive if you make attempts at each of the endings and achievements. The game is heavily story-driven and you wake up in an unknown house. As you explore, you uncover many dark secrets
