If you want to listen to an audio adaptation of my short story, "Cabin in the Woods," from 'Doorways to the Unseen, Volume 3.' This was done for a podcast anthology series using professional voice actors, an original score, and studio sound effects. pod.link/1693204342

HIDDEN GEM ALERT 🚨 The Mothman Prophecies (2002) I just watched this movie for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by it. It's a very intriguing mystery with dark, dreamy vibes and some spooky imagery. Definitely check it out if you haven't seen it!

This scene in HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1959), where the old housekeeper silently floats out of the cellar shadows, is still one of the creepiest moments in horror history. 😱

1999 was a great year for horror. You can keep ONE of these films and the rest disappear forever. What’s your choice?

This is a very weird book in my collection. ‘The Witch’s Sword’ by D.K. Fulton, First and only edition, 1908. It is quite a rarity in the field of supernatural fiction. I've never been able to locate a second copy. And it isn't mentioned in all the major genre bibliographies. The novel takes place around the time of The Battle of Flodden in 1513 (see here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle…). But deeper down things lurk within the boglands around Leith. It features ghost witches, flying horsemen, warlocks, devil apparitions and demonic swarms of giant rats. And then the half dead, starving soldiers start to hallucinate a nightmare world beyond the conscious... Recommended.

Robert Eggers isn't holding back with WERWULF! The upcoming horror film has landed an extremely hard R-rating for disturbing violence, gore, sexual assault, graphic nudity, and strong sexual content. Set in 13th-century England, the film follows a mysterious creature stalking the land as local folklore becomes a terrifying reality. WERWULF howls into theaters on December 25.

25+ years later, THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE remains one of Guillermo del Toro’s most poignant, haunting films. It balances a classic ghost story with a profound meditation on the scars of the Spanish Civil War. If you haven't seen this indie masterpiece yet, fix that immediately.

Happy birthday to Irish writer Bram Stoker, born November 8, 1847. He is best known for “Dracula” (1897), the novel that defined the modern vampire and remains one of the central works of supernatural fiction.

Before becoming one of the pillars of the SF New Wave in the late 1960s, John Brunner was a pulp fiction author. The Atlantic Abomination (1960) is horror/SF featuring a big monster, with some lovecraftian influences (the creature has remained buried for innumerable eons).
