Dark Horror Tales

Prolific horror writer, Stephen King had some of his novels turned into movies this year. I watched two of them- Gerald’s Game and IT GERALD’S GAME This was one of the novels, that I was dying to read, got it, read a couple of pages, and for some reason, I can’t remember, never finished it. So when I heard that the movie was coming out, I thought it was better I watch that than getting disappointed watching it after reading the novel. BECAUSE BOOKS ARE BETTER THAN THEIR MOVIES! Gerald’s Game reminded me a lot of MISERY. Especially the ending scene. As for the main story, a couple goes to a remote lake house to spice up their marriage. Of course, it’s a Stephen King story, so even as simple as playing a love game, goes horribly wrong. In this case, the wife is handcuffed to the bed while the husband has a heart attack after consuming a “blue pill”. Also, since it is a Stephen King movie, there has to be one disturbing scene and when it comes, you almost throw up in your mouth. There’s

It's Halloween! A day that many of us dedicate to everything horror. Horror movies, horror stories, dressing up in scary costumes... For people who are horror buffs, like me, they watch horror movie marathons. But how did Halloween come about? There are many stories about the origin. Mainly, Halloween was actually a festival dedicated to pay respects to the dead. Till today, some cultures don't celebrate it the way the movies show- no costume parties and not even trick-or-treating. It's about lighting candles and preparing food for the deceased. There are some cultures that distribute sweets and that is to appease the spirits. Halloween today is celebrated by mostly kids dressing up in costumes, going to their neighbors for candy and sitting around a bonfire, telling horror stories. The bonfires are thought to keep evil spirits away. Happy Halloween! 

Her powers were about to lead her to her doom. A terrifying tale coming this Halloween!  Published by Solstice Publishing  Available on Amazon  

PLOT SUMMARY: When Bobby moves into a new apartment, he hears what sounds like domestic violence. But when he tries to intervene, he finds himself facing a supernatural occurrence.  How do you make a successful horror movie? Hire well-known actors, have a thematic background score, use excellent computer graphics. And of course, promote it and conceptualize a chilling poster. But how do you actually make a good, entertaining horror movie? Have an incredibly chilling story and execute it efficiently. For quite some years now, horror movies have kind of reached a saturation point with me. More horror movies are being made, but they all lack substance, apply the same scare tactics- slam doors, screaming ghosts, have the family dog die as soon as a family moves into a new house…all of it has lost its appeal. I would still watch it, though, hoping that one of these stories will inspire me and reignite my passion for horror movies. Usually, I do tend to pick movies made in recent years to wa

Imagine having a dream so big, so vivid, that you feel disappointed when it ends. Or when you know that you have to wake up at some point. It’s a dream. Dreams don’t ever come true. Every waking moment feels sheer drudgery. Without that essence of a dream, life becomes melancholic. Bland, even. Real life is far from fiction, that much is blatantly obvious. Real life, all those moments encompassed in a day, all of it is beyond control. In the fiction world, there is safety in knowing that the world will only collapse when you want it to. When it gets too much, there is that sense of relief, that all of it will not engulf you and destroy the characteristics that made you, you. Fiction world is where sanity exists. It is where happiness lies. It’s a dream that doesn’t depend on waking up. As a writer, I’ve had many such realizations, epiphany too sometimes. It is not an easy road to travel. The words in my head turned into a story that needed to be written. The
