Kuchisake-Onna: The Terrifying History of Japan's Slit-Mouthed Woman
Of all the terrifying Japanese characters of folklore, the Kuchisake-Onna, or the "Slit-Mouthed Woman," is maybe the most terrifying and enduring. Her story is a complex blend of ancient myth and modern urban legend, a ghost whose history is as vague and malleable as the black it is said to haunt.

Homicidal
Homicidal (1961), along with Psycho (1960), and—God help us—Ed Wood’s Glen or Glenda (1953) [1], expose the societal prohibitions of the era regarding gender-bending, transvestism, and the basic flaunting of societal conventions, especially as it relates to identifiable sex roles and how a person identifies, gender-wise. We have the same debate raging today, the same sense of taboo and the same prejudices played out on a much more open and more furious scale—also with a greater sense of understanding and acceptance. William Castle, the famed provocateur and impresario who shocked the heinies of Eisenhower-era America by wiring their theater seats for The Tingler (starring the always incredible horror thespian par excellence Vincent Price), here delivers a passable little thriller readymade to ride the coattails of the box-office success enjoyed by Psycho, which had the cross-dressing Norman, who imitated a woman for a reason entirely unrelated to actual transvestism.

The Betz Sphere: The Alien Orb That Fought Back
In the spring of 1974, a Florida family stumbled upon something they couldn’t explain. It wasn’t a flying saucer. It wasn’t a creature from another world. It was a perfectly polished metal sphere, about the size of a bowling ball, lying in the ashes of a brush fire on their property.

What Horror Movies Have I Not Seen in 2025?
I feel that I am so behind on horror movies for this year. I have been so busy with life this year, and it's been tough to make time for some great horror that I'm honestly so disappointed I didn't get to watch on the big screen.

Whispers from the Lantern: The Keeper's Lament
SEASON 1 Chapter 1 The sea at Blackwater Point was never truly silent. It was a restless, churning entity, a constant whisper against the cliffs, a low, guttural growl in the hollows of the rocks. But on the night the new keeper arrived, the whispers had a different quality. They sounded like names.
