Thanks for stopping by, Jim! It was actually a Helium-suggested title. Nobody haunts my house other than a few lazy cats and a hopelessly psychotic Lab retriever.

  • Directed by Rob ZombieI remember when Rob Zombie was first announced as the director of the Halloween reboot back in 06'. Most of us were cautiously optimistic after he refined his abilities with The Devils Rejects. What none of us expected was that Zombie would take his love of trailer trash characters and infuse them into his vision of Halloween. While the first film manages to squeak out a

  • For those too young to remember to who weren't even born yet, Silent Night, Deadly Night was the movie that the parents hated! The commercials and poster featured and Ax wielding Santa that simply enraged parents groups. There were protests all over the country which is pretty shocking to think about today. Our society has become so desensitized that I doubt a killer Santa film would garner so

The era of big hair, happy non-threatening metal bands, tight jeans, and satanic panic! Back in the 1980's I can still remember the panic over anything that seemed satanic. whether it be music, movies, or people the parents were all over it

True Ghost Tales

  • The Lady in the Cottage

    The first thing I’m going to tell is a dream I had when I was a kid. I had this dream almost every night as far back as I can remember, and ’till I was about 8 or 9.

    The dream takes place in an old wooded house or cottage out in the woods. The light is really red, like it’s warm or something. In this cottage there lives a woman who is pregnant, looks like the last trimester. She lives alone as far as I can remember. In the dream she goes to bed as normal, but when she wakes up her baby is gone, cut out of her stomach. By this point I am the lady. I look around, cry, and all of a sudden, what feels like a bloody finger, is poking my back, always at the same place. This makes me wake up, look around the room, no one there. Even though I’m wide awake at …

  • Do Ghosts Really Exist?

    During August 1981 my wife and I were driving back to the UK through France after I had completed a work assignment in Spain. On the journey between Alencon and Rouen, the precise location of which I do not know other than it was closer to Rouen than Alencon. We were travelling along a very straight stretch of road that was lined with tall planes on either side; I had the feeling that something was telling me that I should take a break from driving. I pulled off onto the grass at the side of the road. We had a bite to eat and a drink, after which I got out of the car to stretch my legs, the road had little traffic and the area was totally quiet. I walked around to the back of the car and stood looking back along the road from whence we had come and thinking to myself how peaceful and quiet it was.…

  • My First Demon

    I’m only 14 but ever since I was little I’ve had a connection with paranormal incidents and over the years it’s gotten worse. It use to be I would just see friendly spirits or this old women I’d never seen (later to find out she was my great grandmother) but ever since I turned 10 I can communicate with spirits.

    Well a few years ago my mom, dad and me had just moved into a really nice apartment. I got my own bedroom and bathroom and everything seemed perfect and happy. My favorite thing about my new bedroom was my mirror closet. Well about a month of living there I’d completely changed. I was no longer this happy, smart kid, I wasn’t even me anymore I was more depressed I felt like dying, I was failing every subject and I had extreme attitude. There was only one person I could talk to and would understand me and that was my …
