The Modern Prometheus
Darkness had no effect upon my fancy, and
a churchyard was to me merely the receptacle of bodies deprived of
life, which, from being the seat of beauty and strength, had become
food for the worm. Now I was led to examine the cause and progress of
this decay and forced to spend days and nights in vaults and
charnel-houses. My attention was fixed upon every object the most
insupportable to the delicacy of the human feelings. I saw how the
fine form of man was degraded and wasted; I beheld the corruption of
death succeed to the blooming cheek of life; I saw how the worm
inherited the wonders of the eye and brain. I paused, examining and
analysing all the minutiae of causation, as exemplified in the change
from life to death, and death to life, until from the midst of this
darkness a sudden light broke in upon me—a light so brilliant and
wondrous, yet so simple, that while I became dizzy with the immensity
of the prospect which it illustrated, I was surprised that among so
many men of genius who had directed their inquiries towards the same
science, that I alone should be reserved to discover so astonishing a
secret.

Inside The Witch House
I've never seen interior shots of this classic home.
I officially NEED to move in tomorrow.
Lights Out
There's hope yet for a full length Hollywood version of Swamp Foetus.
Lights Out is an online favorite, an eerie three minutes crafted by David F. Sandberg for the Who’s There Film Challenge. It’s been plenty shared and reached Vimeo Staff Pick thanks to a simple nailing of old school afraid of the dark horror. Now, The Conjuring’s James Wan is producing a feature adaptation of the film, written by Eric A. Heisserer, with Sandberg directing and young Gabriel Bateman set to star.

Trick 'R Treat: Days Of The Dead
From the twisted imagination of creator Michael Dougherty (director of the upcoming Krampus and Trick ‘r Treat, screenwriter of X-Men 2 and Superman Returns) and a top-notch team of artists including Fiona Staples (Saga), Stephen Byrne (Buffy/Angel), Stuart Sayger (Bram Stoker’s Death Ship) and Zid (Son of Merlin) comes this 4-part collection that paves the way for the Trick ‘r Treat film sequel! Across the centuries of Halloween horror, wherever fear lies, Sam will be waiting. “Seed” explores two star-crossed lovers in the old world whose fate will change Halloween forever! “Corn Maiden” is a tale about pioneers who venture West and bring darkness with them; “Echoes” is a horror noir set in 1950s Los Angeles amid a serial killer’s vicious rampage, and “Monster Mash” unleashes Halloween on small town America, and two boy’s lives will never be the same! The dark and twisted face of the cult horror hit Trick ‘r Treat is back… are you ready for the return of Sam?
