Five Scary Movies – Eden Royce

As a fun part of Blogtoberfest, I asked my artist friends to send me their top five scary movies.  The results were varied and interesting. Here’s Eden Royce’s list: My top five scary movies are:  The Thing PsychoJ.D.’s Revenge Army of Darkness Ganja and Hess Bio: Eden Royce is descended from women who practiced root, a type of conjure magic in her native Charleston, South Carolina. She’s been a bridal consultant, reptile handler, and stockbroker, but now writes dark fiction about the American South from her home in the English countryside.   She is the author of Spook Lights: Southern Gothic Horror, a short story collection that features the language and traditions of the Gullah-Geechee people, descendants of the first slaves brought to the Sea Islands off the coast of South Carolina and Georgia.

Horror Movie Review – The Ouija Experiment

Title: The Ouija Experiment, aka The Realm Genre: Horror, Found Footage-ish Director: Israel Luna Writers:  Israel LUna IMDB Link:  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2364842/ NO SPOILERS This was a movie that I stumbled upon perusing some streaming service or another. I suppose if you run a search for the title, it will tell you where it’s playing or where you can get it.  Honestly, even though IMDB gives it a 3.4 out of 10, I actually enjoyed the movie. I’d even watch it again! Here’s the setup.  There’s a film student (already annoying, lol) who plays with a Ouija board with his four friends.  Why?  They want to solve the mystery of a drowned girl that happened some time ago. I’m really fuzzy on the details because, well, it just didn’t matter to me after a while. Let me say upfront…it’s not scary.  The acting is bad and the found footage-ish way of filming can by annoying at times.

Blogtoberfest – Zombie Awareness Month

Welcome to October, or as I like to call it, thirty days of Halloween Eve! This is one of the first posts of “Blogtoberfest” and it’s also Zombie Awareness Month! So…..are you aware?  More importantly, are you prepared? Many people are caught unprepared, no matter what the emergency, whether it be a hurricane, snow storm or zombie apocalypse.  This is according to the CDC, which has a page on how to prepare for any emergency event, up to and including a zombie apocalypse.  If you don’t believe me, click here. Again, are you prepared to “bug-out” at a moment’s notice?  Your Kindle, table or extra-smart phone won’t be of much help when the ravenous, bloody-mouthed hordes of the un-dead start beating at your door.  Well, maybe you can throw your device at them, but at the most it’ll only take out one or two. Okay, now you’re all asking, Dahlia,

Movie Review: The Battery

Title: The Battery Genre: Horror: Zombies Director: Jeremy Gardner IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2272350/   In a land ravaged by the undead, Ben and Mickey must first learn to survive each other. It’s a zombie movie. Of course I’m going to watch it, either through my fingers or like a boss, but I’m going to watch it. I liked the movie poster. I’m still a fan of the baseball move to whack a zombie skull, so to see one of the characters holding a bat…I was pretty pleased. This is not your typical zombie movie with the characters hiding in an attic or basement, surviving on canned food and sniping at each other. Rather, this is an open movie: regaling us with the beauty of the New England countryside in summer while also reminding us of the danger that lurks around nearly every corner. The director, Jeremy Gardner, is also one of
