Mason Thames and Madeleine McGraw pose with the Grabber during the premiere of The Black Phone.

After seeing The Black Phone, a lot of people want to know if the movie is based on a true story. But what I think people are more specifically wondering is whether the Grabber is based on a real serial killer. Or was that just me? Either way, let’s seeContinue Reading

Studio 666 poster

Even though the horror-comedy Studio 666 is clearly a work of fiction, it’s hard not to wonder if it’s based on a true story. Specifically, did the Foo Fighters ever record one of their albums in a murder house? For those who may not be, let’s first acquaint ourselves withContinue Reading

Louvre doll

Updated March 9, 2023 The trailer for The Night House was exceptional. Its job worked immediately, making me wonder where the house was located and what was up with the creepy-looking doll, which I’ve since learned is called a Louvre doll. Sadly, the movie wasn’t the blow-my-mind haunted house filmContinue Reading

Phrogging a family

Have you ever heard of “phrogging” before? I learned about it when I recently watched I See You, a horror movie that involved phrogging, which is pronounced “frogging.” If I’d seen the movie before making the “Cases of Creepy Haunted Houses” episode for the Haunting American True Crimes season onContinue Reading

Do you ever wake up the day after Halloween with either a Halloween hangover —or, worse, the Halloween Blues? One way I’ve found to combat both is by anticipating horror movies that are coming soon.

In real life, Harold Ramis, the man who played Egon Spengler in the original Ghostbusters movies, died in 2014.

In fact, theContinue Reading

Scariest Places on Earth Anchor Inn Demon screengrab

Full disclosure, before I go getting anyone’s hopes up: There’s been no official word from anywhere that there even will be a Conjuring 4. However, if there was, what would it be about? Heaven knows Ed and Lorraine Warren investigated a lot of cases. The CT Post compiled a listContinue Reading

Bruce the Shark in Academy Museum

With summer nearly upon us, let’s talk about the movie that created the phenomenon known as summer blockbusters: Jaws. (And I just have to point out that it wasn’t any movie, but a horror movie that owns this claim to fame.) The year was 1975. Multiplexes hadn’t been invented yet.Continue Reading

Distortions Monster World Entrance

When I learned about an interactive creature feature museum that was opening in Denver earlier this year, I made note of it on my wanderlist. I never imagined we’d get to jaunt inside Distortions Monster World so soon though. Because we have so very little family left living these days,Continue Reading
