Holiday Horrors: “Halloween” vs. “Halloween”
In 1978, John Carpenter directed one of the greatest, most influential horror films of all time. In 2007, Rob Zombie reimagined that movie, but how do they fare head-to-head? The Anniston Star investigates.
An Ode to The Master of Horror

50 Visually Stunning Horror Movies for Twisted Aesthetes
Horror can be beautiful, it can be pretty…heck, it can even be tear-inducing. It doesn’t have to be about the bodily-tortured students, the malformed monsters, the disembowelled and decapitated, though it’s always nice when one pops up. I’m a huge fan of cinematography, and some of the horror films in this list from Flavorwire are so aesthetically-pleasing, they may make you cry. (Disclaimer: I didn’t cry. I was just sayin’…and stuff…sniff…)
Tentacles & Madness: 10 Comics That Continue H.P. Lovecraft’s Horror Legacy
Whether you hate Lovecraft or, erm, love Lovecraft, there’s no denying that his work can be successfully translated to any medium (including porn, if the great Necronomicum is anything to go by). He continues to inspire many (and piss off a good few at the same time), and so it’s no surprise that his influence is somewhat visible in the world of the comic book. This article from Paste Magazine looks at ten Lovecraftian comic books.
