If you’re searching for fresh and original horror stories, look no further than Sudden Chillers. Although I think they have a creepypasta vibe, these readings should also appeal to fans of traditional horror stories as well. You can also find free samples of his work on the Sudden Chillers YouTube account. Speaking of creepypasta, Midnight …

Music In Costume: The Goddamn Gallows dress up as The Mummies
It’s cliche to say “every day is Halloween for The Mummies” since the band performs in costume. But, hey. It’s the Mummies. The Mummies were champions of lo-fi, DIY rock that was meant to kick the listener in the teeth. Fun times. The Goddamn Gallows demonstrate how fluid the psychobilly genre can be. The Goddamn …

How To Make A Freddy Krueger Glove
Getting your hands on a good quality Freddy Krueger glove can be expensive, especially if you can’t find one in your area and have to order it online instead. The poor quality of the lower priced unlicensed versions is also less than attractive. Thankfully you can easily make one of your very own for next …

Guest Post: McVladie reviews DRACULA UNTOLD
C. L. McNally, knows as @McVladie on twitter, is a known fan and scholar of Dracula. In prior guest posts, she spoke with author Elizabeth Miller and Dacre Stoker, great grand-nephew of Bram Stroker. With the new Dracula move in theaters, it is of no surprise that she attended a viewing. Does the movie hold …

Music In Costume: Demented Are Go dress up as Devo
It doesn’t surprise me that Demented Are Go would do a DEVO cover. Nor does it surprise me that they did “Mongoloid,” the now-barred term for someone of low-intelligence. Considering the mutant rock that comprises Demented Are Go, it seems like a fits-like-hand-in-glove territory. Fun music for the whole family. Personally, I like the frenetic …

It Came From Amazon VI
After going over some previous installments of this series, I was inspired to try making a list of all the Goosebumps imitators out there: Gooflumps Spine Chillers Bone Chillers Deadtime Stories Shivers Spinetinglers Spooksville Strange Matter Star Wars: Galaxy of Fear That’s right, not even George Lucas could pass up cashing in on the Goosebumps …

Music In Costume: Bloodsucking Zombies From Outer Space dress up as Alice Cooper
Have you ever shown up to a Halloween party and someone was wearing the same costume as you? It’s a mortifying because it implies a lack of creativity or imagination, nullifying whatever efforts you placed in crafting your disguise. That’s what it IMPLIES, but that’s crap. If you told twenty people to dress up as …

Terrifying Tales
The image illustrating this article doesn’t tie into any particular story. But there’s something about it which just screams “creepypasta” to me. I bring this up because it turns out the link to “Creepypasta Cookoff 2012” in last year’s installment will now include stories from 2013 (along with those from future cookoffs). Since I’m discussing …

Today, we feature a guest post from Kraig Khaos. Kraig has a reoccuring feature on 6ftplus – Killer Kuts from Kraig Khaos – where he shares a song from a vinyl recording.

Music In Costume: The Mutilators dress up as Michael Jackson
Is it odd for a psychobilly band to cover the King of Pop? Answer: Yes. But I also think that Psychobilly is a much more varied genre than what it appears to be. Psychobilly bands who don’t hold themselves to a purity ideal have produced an interesting range of cover songs over the past thirty …

Haunted Attraction Walkthroughs III
Another year, another collection of videos of people visiting haunted attractions. There’s quite the selection this year: professional haunted attractions, home haunts and yard haunts. Although many of the videos are from 2012-2013, I made sure to include some older material. There’s even one from 1995! But let’s cut down on the hype and get …

Music In Costume: Haunted George dresses up as Chase Weber
This song is predominantly known thanks to Pat Boone covering it. It was originally written by Chase Webster and the song got some justice when Haunted George gave it a proper rendition. If you want to listen to Pat Boone’s version, you’ll have to find it yourself. The guy comes across as a someone who …

Dogfish Head Punkin Ale
As much as I love Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale, I do make an effort to try other pumpkin beers. And by “make an effort,” I mean I only order it when my favorite brand is not on the menu. So when I ran into such a situation during a recent family get together, I decided to …

Music In Costume: Tom Cat Rebels dress up as Talking Heads
Late 80’s Finnish Psychobilly (what a combination, eh?) band Tom Cat Rebels had a plethora of covers in their short-lived career. One of their songs was a cover of Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer.” It’s an interesting take on the song, though I have to side with the original. There’s something generally evil about it. A …

It Came From Wikipedia VII
It’s hard to say which now-defunct museum sounds more interesting: The Museum of Funeral Customs or Jones’ Fantastic Museum (which had horror author Wilum Hopfrog Pugmire playing a vampire who scared guests). For years I assumed the “Davy Jones” associated with “Davy Jones’ Locker” was a famous sailor of some sort. It turns out he’s …
