Two Ways To Kill Friends With An iPhone: Axe-a-Friend and App of the Dead
i was recently on a road-trip and spent a lot of time fiddling around with my iphone. between games of peggle and teaching talking carl obscenities (which is far more fun than expected), i discovered two horror film themed apps that i thought i’d draw your attention to: MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D: Axe-a-Friend and George [...]
Beauty Product Horrors
i’ve always been slightly confused and bewildered by the world of cosmetics and female beauty products (my wife’s new-found obsession with LUSH handmade cosmetics has not helped with this). however, i have never before been scared of a beauty product. that is, until i stepped into CVS earlier today and saw these hanging in the [...]
Sparkly Dinosaurs
i recently found a year old forums thread on somethingawful.com unambiguously titled “screenshots from twilight with raptors photoshopped in!” you need an archive forums account at the site to view that thread, but i’ve reproduced some of my favorites of those images submitted below. one might think that long extinct carnivorous dinosaurs might not fit [...]

Nintendo DSi Does Horror
i was playing around with my nintendo dsi and discovered it comes with a fairly nifty photo manipulation program. with the built in camera and a few pokes of the stylus, you can easily turn a nice picture of your favorite horror blogger like this into this monstrosity. like everything i encounter in life, i [...]
Fan Art Field Trip: Re-Animator
jon’s recent snubbing of re-animator in his favorite h.p. lovecraft film adapations has inspired yet another trip into the sometimes beautiful but oft terrifying world of artistic fandom on deviantart.com. while familiar to most hard-core horror fans, i was concerned that re-animator would not have inspired as much fanart as the horror superstars we’ve looked [...]
