J-rock, music, glowing red skulls


If we can take anything from this day, it's that writing books drives you crazy, though the bright side is that it also gives you the power to manipulate time and space. Good times there.

2:00 PM [SyFy]
In the Mouth of Madness

An insurance investigator is hired to find out what happened to a popular horror writer. It turns out everything he's written about really exists (or does it?) and oh yeah, there's a lot of Lovecraftian talk about ancient gods retaking the earth. Insanity, forbidden manuscripts, someone named Pickman... that certainly doesn't sound familiar.

The Guardian (1990)

Family hires a nanny who turns out to be a tree-worshipping Druid who wants to sacrifice their kid. Lesson to be learned here: always background check.

5:50 PM [Encore Drama]
The Dark Half

Underrated movie based on Stephen King book about a writer who tries to kill off his pseudonym that has managed to come to life and is now committing violent, gruesome acts. The movie ends fairly happily, the book less so.

31 Days of Halloween 2009 - Shutter

Spirals, oh my god what is wrong with your eye, horror


They remade this with Joshua Jackson, and it wasn't completely horrible, but you still should stick the original Shutter.

It's a bitter little morality tale of sorts, except that it has crazy ghosts and creepy photos. There's a couple that runs over a woman and then leaves her body in the road, which of course, is totally the correct thing to do if you want to suffer horrible consequences. And they do, as the photographer starts seeing strange things in his pictures and his girlfriend investigates why his friends keep dying.

It's got more than a few twists, so I won't spoil it, but everyone gets what they deserve in the end.
