My status as a die-hard horror fan was cemented in the summer of 1986 when I was 12-years-old. Sure, I’d seen horror movies before, but my love for the genre exploded after I saw The Fly (and Aliens, also in 1986, but that’s another story). I’m amazed and somewhat overwhelmed …

May 16th, 2016 was the 180th Anniversary of the marriage of Edgar Allan Poe and Virginia Eliza Clemm. Although they were only married for 11 years, their union is one of the most celebrated, tragic, and controversial ever chronicled.

When you’re looking for something a little different to watch, you can’t go wrong with an anthology. If you don’t happen to like the first story, just wait a few minutes and a new one will start up. It’s always fresh and you get a lot of story for your …
