Schroder Farm Part 1
It was a cold, dreary evening on a small plot of land near northern Scotland, a cattle field with a large, six stable barn, and a barn house east of it by the name of Schroder Farm. Three men were to work the night shift, and one of them happened to step out for a cigarette in the cold, damp evening air to try waking himself up more. He was still new to the job's late-night schedule. He was also out in the cold to get away from the old man who frequently barked at him for being lazy. He was Jude, the youngest of the three as he was approaching his middle age years the next month. The old man he was hiding from is Hamish Paterson, the temp for the real owner of the farm who was an old man in Germany.

I Have An Insane Amount of Zombie Books
I have a problem. I have bought more than just a few books on zombies, or zombie adjacent genres. And I'm not sure why. I am not sure when I became "obsessed" with the zombie horde, I can't tell you where it sprang from, but I can tell you that the evidence is in my closet where I have neatly stacked the ones I've already read. I still have some that I have yet to read entirely through.

Dreamer Chapter 1
The sun was shining down from a cloudless sky while Lorri looked out her window at the tree below from the second floor. She could only imagine how hot it might be outside as she wasn’t a fan of the summer heat. She sighed heavily to herself but thought that at least she doesn’t have school to worry about anymore since she got her high school diploma just a few weeks ago.

'Giz' Us A Kiss: Why A Darker 'Gremlins 3' Might Kill Off Its Lead Character
Hide the snacks, turn off the lights, and whatever you do, don't give them a bath, because it could be time for the Gremlins to rise from the smoky depths of development hell. For fans of horror-comedy, we saw those cute pre-Furby critters take to screens for two fun-filled #Gremlins movies in 1984 and 1990.

Do We Really Need a 'Pumpkinhead' Remake?
It seems that no 80's movie is safe from the remake machine these days, as news of the late Stan Winston's directorial debut Pumpkinhead is announced as going into production expecting a 2017 release. This is being made by one of the executive producers of the once mighty (and possibly soon again?) Saw franchise, Peter Block. Where it might seem like a fun idea to re-start this franchise I have to wonder if we really NEED another one.

Zombie-Run!!! A Fast Paced Undead Short-Horror-Film to Leave You Breathless
Here's an amateur Horror short film I made way back in 2011 on my Canon Mini Dv Camcorder. I got my mate Matty P to make himself up as a bloodied zombie ala Dawn of the Dead and we shot this in one day.

Ten Literary Vampires You Won't Have Heard Of
Count Dracula, Lestat de Lioncourt, Edward Cullen, Bill Compton. They’re the most famous undead, known from Lost Angeles to Transylvania. The vampires who made it big, if you will. But they aren’t the only blood suckers in town, even if you discount the rest of their supporting casts. The night holds other blood drinkers. We all love vampires, they are the king monster and have penetrated our culture to a frightening extent but most of us have barely scratched the tip of the iceberg.

These 5 Monsters from the Philippines Will Have You Quaking at the Sheer Thought of Them
Hollywood takes a lot of inspiration from everywhere and anywhere when it comes to scary monsters. Sometimes it's inspired by different cultures and expands on them or dips into pagan themes. With that in mind, I dipped into my own heritage to take a look at the top five monsters I would love to see on the American big screen. All of these monsters stem from memory as a child (because telling your 6-year-old son about stuff like this roaming around is solid parenting), and the ones on this list are the ones that stuck with me the most.

Monsters
Every society, culture, or even theology has some figure that is used to help quell the wild side of individuals. It would be fair to argue that monsters are a culturally varying enforcer. How many of us remember at some point our parents told us if we didn’t behave or do what was expected that something or someone was going to get us? The boogeyman was used to make kids stay in bed at night. Dracula and werewolves were used by different cultures to tell young people not to go out after dark. Nessie was a tool to keep the population from swimming in the Loc. Even the most well known enforcer figure used today, the Devil, is used to intimidate the general population to be “good.” Is it possible that as a society we need the monsters to help encourage social morals?

Rotted Flesh
Picture this: A world filled with dead and dying things. People, plants, everything. But I am not dead nor will I ever be. I often wonder what it would be like to be one of them — to taste human flesh, to sink my teeth into someone's trembling body. If I were to become one of these... What are we calling them, zombies? If I were to become one of these "zombies" I'd be forced to walk within the law that nothing really matters and nothing ever did. I'd be reduced to eating my own friends and family. I don't want to live like that, you know? Well, because that's not really living, I'd be dead. The fact of the matter is I'm not going to die. People count on me everyday to provide and protect. They watch my every move to ensure that their lives aren't in danger. With a whole group of people watching out for me like that, it is impossible for someone like me to die.
