Terrifying YouTube Shorts Continue To Impress

Published

on

As you may have noticed, iHorror ended 2014 with a collection of lists from its writers detailing what we thought were the best and worst horror movies of the year. After carefully compiling and comparing our lists, discussing the various merits of each sub-genre, and reading your comments, one conclusion can be reached: Everything sucks.

Just kidding, of course, but come on, Hollywood. What the fucking fuck does it take to get a little terror implanted into our very souls and one or two images that will haunt us for decades until we begin to eagerly look forward to death and the release it will bring us from our endless movie-induced torment? Step up your game.

So, like many other jaded fans, I’ve taken to YouTube, where aspiring filmmakers are more than happy to upload their labors of love to share with the world. There’s actually quite the treasure trove to be found for a horror aficionado with some time to kill and a willingness to sift through the shit for the gold (so if you’ve got any strong recommendations, please pass them on). Then one day, iHorror writer John Squires introduced us to the “nightmare fuel” of the short film “Lights Out” (you may remember shitting yourself at the thumbnail that popped up in your newsfeed), and I’ve yet to stumble across another short as terrifying or well done.

Luckily for everyone, the user behind “Lights Out” (David F. Sandberg in real life, ponysmasher on YouTube) has a few more videos available for the watching. You may have checked out “Pictured” previously. Today, please enjoy “Coffer” and (my favorite) a 14 second short entitled “See You Soon”, both continuing to feature the impressive Lotta Losten, seemingly in the same creepy apartment!

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.

Published

on

Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) and Crypt TV are knocking it out of the park with their new VR show, The Faceless Lady. For those unaware, this is the first fully scripted VR horror show on the market.

Even for masters of horror like Eli Roth and Crypt TV, this is a monumental undertaking. However, if I trust anyone to change the way that we experience horror, it would be these two legends.

The Faceless Lady

Ripped from the pages of Irish folklore, The Faceless Lady tells the story of a tragic spirit cursed to wander the halls of her castle for all of eternity. However, when three young couples are invited to the castle for a series of games, their fates may soon change.

So far, the story has provided horror fans with a gripping game of life or death that doesn’t look as if it will slow down in episode five. Luckily, we have an exclusive clip that may be able to satiate your appetites until the new premiere.

Airing on 4/25 at 5pmPT/8pmET, episode five follows our final three contestants in this wicked game. As the stakes are raised ever higher, will Ella be able to fully awaken her connection with Lady Margaret?
