Halloween Special Time
We visit Wales for their own take on older British traditions this time of year, head over to Ireland to check in on an old god and its Samhein hobby horse messenger, then it's story time with a great Ray Bradbury classic for the season!

Day one of sadly only two at the Bestwood Lodge. Turns out it is reputed to be a tad haunted... Top 5 most haunted hotels in Britain, even! I'll hopefully get some extra time to explore later :)

Time for a trip to Haunted Derby!

A great spooky tourism destination, and with some incredible tales of phantoms to be found. Not least of all the compelling story of John Crossland, and the good reason he has to not want to cross over...

I'm missing the casual decadence of a packet of crisps, a cream filled donut, and a "coffee" that's 90% sugar with extra syrup on top being devoured as a random treat X_X

Some horror movies are a fun harmless ride with a jump scare every 10 minutes or so that wrap up neatly. This is not that type of horror movie.
The Long Walk is a cruel ordeal that wants you to face some harsh questions about humanity and morality, doing a pretty effective job of it too!

So, too, is my folklore podcast after a hiatus. We have some worrying inspiration for Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, all kinds of revenant corpses, and even a story about a gibbet that haunts through to the modern day.

You know what I've realised?
These aren't horror movies.
They're superhero movies.
The movie Warrens (don't Google the real Warrens...) hop from adventure to adventure, saving people from the perils of evil with a mix of earnest bravery and some superpowers to back it up.

It's pretty intense! Only up to episode two, but the train...
Possibly not for a casual audience :P

What a brilliant year for horror! This is a weird, fun, and beautifully shot one. I'd heard this had a great pay off, and I wasn't disappointed. This may not be the scariest offering, but...
