If you were a child of the late 80's and 90's your first experience into the world of horror may very well have come from the shelves of your elementary school library.

Even as I write this the Scary Stories Tr

Fairy tales used to be scary. Hell, that was the whole point of them. Stories like Little Red Riding Hood, Three Little Pigs, or The Scorpion and the Fox were meant to be cautionary stories to keep kids in line and out of danger. It's only been in the last hundred years or so with changes in society and the Disney brand gentrification of these classic stories that we've seen warnings about the dangers of trusting strangers or going into the woods alone turn into uplifting mus

Throughout the past few years there have been challenges that have gone viral over the internet, some that has done some good, like the ice bucket challenge while others have had participants, literally, set themselves on fire.

This moment has become iconic but the practice of actual exorcism has mostly gone out of fashion, performed, rarely, by the Catholic Church (more-so by other denominations but those are not th

However, this is only one type of zombie and the history of the undead creature spans through books, films and even through the practice of the Voodoo religion. The Topic is certainly larger and more extensive than one post can contain. That said, the following video by Fandor Keyframe is just over 1 minute and is a very brief primer to th
