The Top Ten Best And Most Haunted Ghost Tours: Ghosts Of Gettysburg
October 22, 2010 / 15771
Over the years since the battle, stories of scores of sightings, stranger than reality, have emerged from the quaint houses and gentle fields in and around the town of Gettysburg: Stories of sightings of these soldiers, moving again in battle lines, across the fields where they once marched. . . and died; tales of visions through a rip in time into the horrible scene of a Civil War hospital; whispers of a look at men long dead held eternally captive by duty. These apparitions -and more- come back to remind us, in one way or another that they are not to be forgotten for what they did here. . .
In research for his books, Mark Nesbitt collected hundreds of these tales of the unexplainable sightings, entity activity or those strange echoes from a time long gone that can mean only one thing: Gettysburg may very well be, acre for acre, the most haunted place in America. Read more …
10 Best Horror Films! An Excellent Suggestion
September 24, 2010 / 145600
We’ve read a great Top Ten of Horror Films from PictureNose guys and we want share it with you.
The horror, the horror…Missed me? Been away for a little while, thought it was only fair to allow Picturenose’s other fair contributors (well, Colin) to have a sojourn in the spotlight. Anyway, Colin’s recent excellent post, 10 Great Final Bows, put me in mind of a list of my own that I have been meaning to do for some time. Regular visitors to this site will be aware that horror is my favourite kind of film and, I hope, will also know that I have, after many, many years of subjecting myself to numerous examples of what passes for the genre, developed a certain sophistication in my appreciation of things that slither by moonlight. So, in reverse order, and to set the record straight once and for all (or, of course, until another example comes along that will neccesitate a rejig), here are the ten films that for me define what horror should be all about – your disagreements, hurrahs and personal favourites that are not on the list are of course more than welcome.
NOTE: I am convinced that the ‘top five’ are in absolutely the right order – the remainder is somewhat more of a movable feast.
10. Tales from the Crypt (1972), Dir. Freddie Francis
As previously explained, this was the film that began, at around the tender age of 11, my love of the genre. Dispensing with the original stories that had comprised the previous Amicus compendium horrors, and opting instead for adaptations of tales straight from the EC horror comics, director Freddie Francis, helped by an ensemble cast including Joan Collins, Sir Ralph Richardson, Peter Cushing and Ian Hendry, created a truly creepy collection that still chills to this day, namely All Through The House (don’t let Santa in after you’ve just murdered your husband!), Reflection of Death (don’t leave your wife and kids!), Poetic Justice (don’t be mean to your neighbour!), Wish You Were Here (don’t make three wishes!) and Blind Alleys (don’t mess with the sightless!). My personal favourite? Reflection of Death – beautifully staged, with a twist that still shocks. Read more …

The Top Ten Horror Flicks for Chicks
October 31, 2009 / 2735
Once upon a time, horror-movie fandom was a Boys’ Club: No cootie-ridden girls allowed. But we’ve come a long way, baby, as today, every dark-and-scary night is ladies’ night with women making up a solid half of the audience for fright flicks. Remember the thrill of seeing Halloween’s Laurie Strode (the inimitable Jamie Lee Curtis) stand up to the bogeyman with a knitting needle? Well, there’s more where that came from.
The Flick: The Descent (2005)
The Chicks: Sarah (Shauna Macdonald) and Juno (Natalie Jackson Mendoza)
The Reason Why Chicks Love It: Take a pack of estrogen-fueled thrill-seekers, drop them in an unmapped cave somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains, unleash something super-nasty on them, and, rest assured, they won’t run and scream: They’ll bring it on. Even in this dude-free zone, Sarah has the final-girl look; and who doesn’t love to hate Juno, the alpha bitch who gets them into this mess? The Descent knows that women’s friendships are complicated. Read more …
