13 Days 'Til Halloween: Arrival Of The Cenobites

The arrival of the Cenobites in the first two Hellraiser movies always impressed me. That is how realities can merge as gates to Hell open...

13 Days 'Til Halloween: Countess Dracula (1971) [NSFW]

Monsters are part of Halloween as much as tricks and treats. Not all of them are hideous creatures either. Evil is seductive and beautiful in Hammer Films' Countess Dracula (1971), featuring the late, great Ingrid Pitt as Countess Elizabeth Bathory.

13 Days 'Til Halloween: A Noiva (The Bride), Portuguese Horror

13 Days 'Til Halloween: Fewdio Short Horror Films

Check out more Fewdio movies at their YouTube channel and visit their website at www.fewdio.com.

13 Days 'Til Halloween: J.K. Potter

One of my favorite artists back in the day when I used to get the Twilight Zone Magazine (my dad got me a subscription back in the day) was J.K. Potter. His work is a surrealistic blend of hyper realistic images twisted with horrific imagery. Here are some pictures that capture why I like this man's body of work.

The image that first made me a fan:


A cover for Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes.
