Yes. You Guessed it. It’s the Obligatory Cthulhu Column. Or ‘Cosmic Horror’ if you will. The genre owes a great deal to Lovecraft’s original creations, so much so that discussing the genre is essentially a dissection of mythos works. So this column is going to be a little more focused than usual. Something faceless owns […]
Awaken: The Blood of Salvora RPG offers a Kickstarter for Slavic horror

Genre Police: Blogpost Of Vile Darkness
Splatterpunk horror is a title that tends to set eyes rolling. Viewed as the lowest form of horror, splatterpunk lives up to its name. The genre is often derided as ‘gore for gore’s sake’ or ‘just going for shock factor’. Well…yes. But it’s more than that. So take a deep breath, we’re going to search […]
Genre Police: Oh The Horror!
Over the next few columns we are going to be diving into Horror. While we’ve looked at topics that have bordered the genre before, we haven’t dived right into its black heart. The problem with horror is that it very quickly divides into a massive set of sub-genre specifics. Poe, Lovecraft, King, Bright, Barker are […]

Horror story Tinder dates
Marketing agency Signal released these rather evil Tinder profiles for Halloween. I know we’re all prone to making bad choices sometimes (especially if we’re racing through Tinder) but I’d like to think none of these profiles got the swipes they were hunting for!
The supercut – it’s just a cat
Here’s a Halloween movie trick that might have been used one too many times. You would think cats were attracted to dangerous situations and liked to wait until the most tense moment before hissing randomly. The last line in the montage nails it. What is up with that cat? Is someone throwing it? Yes, yes […]

10 most popular horror movies on YouTube
YouTube is absolutely vital for movie makers these days. As a blogger one of YouTube’s biggest perks is the ability to embed videos without importing a whole chunk of social network mechanics, which some readers might not be part of, into posts. This means we can share movie trailers as and when they come out […]
The sinister touch of Praxis: Black Monk
This Kickstarter from Postworldgames and Jim Pinto is a good one to consider over this Halloween. It’s a shame it won’t be available for Halloween but, at the time of writing, it is approaching 700% funded I think we can be sure it’ll be ready for next year. In fact, Pinto says it’ll be ready […]
