Pharaoh Ramsleazis’ Horrorscopes — The Night Before Consequences
The night sky is… tense. But then again… so am I. For those of you who have not yet had the pleasure—how unfortunate—I am Pharaoh Ramsleazis. Egypt’s most exquisite mistake, master of indulgence, and the only man in history charming enough to sell his soul… and still walk away with eternal youth, eternal beauty, and just enough damnation to keep things interesting. A very favorable arrangement. Now then… The Sun is finishing its reckless little affair with Aries, which means

Why Lumberjacks Are to Blame for the Devolution of Horror
For too long we've been given the "wink-wink, nudge-nudge" from self-aware, "meta" horror films until our ribs are bruised and our own eyelids are drooping. But can lumberjacks seriously be the culprits? Paul Bunyan may be fictional himself, but his legendary shenanigans can be blamed for the infestation of irony that plagues genre films to this day. John Waters has famously explained the scourge of irony: "Irony ruined everything.... Even the best exploitation movies were

Only Where There Are Graves
By C. Rommial Butler Walking silently among the rows of unmarked white crosses, I feel something stir in my loins. Have the spirits of these unnamed soldiers who have lain so long beneath the earth really gripped me in some sexual way? I am tripping on LSD, after all. Some believe psychoactive drugs open doors to other realms of consciousness. Some believe our minds are just blipping, conjuring hallucinations. What is perception but a controlled hallucination determined by th

Nobody Said It Would Be Easy, Not Even For Demons
Her hair, the color of flames. Her eyes, wickedly gleaming. Her demeanor, as mischievous as the little bat wings sprouting from her head. Could a true creature of darkness ever be as comical as tv presenter Melevill, Puerto Rico's first horror host? Could a true comedian ever be as demonically sinister? Melevill sometimes describes herself as a "fictional horror character," but there's a problem with that. Fictional characters in fact possess a special sort of reality. Just a
