The Snarky Cats of Ulthar

I had the misfortune of watching Taiwanese horror movie  The Bridge Curse: Ritual (2023) and thought I might as well share the misery here. Warning: SPOILERS .

  This is one of our favourite opening sequences and still looks great more than 20 years later.

We decided to add some YouTube videos to the Legion review and felt that this blog shouldn't miss out on the apocalyptic angel madness.

The thing, whatever it was, had come forward over the rail; but now, before the light, it recoiled with a queer, horrible litheness. It slid back, and down, and so out of sight. I have only a confused notion of a wet glistening Something, and two vile eyes. In William Hope Hodgson's The Ghost Pirates , the crew of the Mortzestus must deal with ghostly invaders who haunt the ship at night. However, what started as merely unsettling slowly turns deadly, as the apparitions work towards a mysterious goal... The sense of foreboding is present from the very first chapters, where Jessop, the narrator, learns that the previous crew left without being paid and sees his first ghost. The intruders keep silently showing up around the ship, while the crewmen are helpless to stop them and have no idea what they want. Then, as the ghosts' visits become more frequent, people start disappearing. Since this is Hodgson, it's not a common haunting - in fact, these ghosts may not be ghosts at a

And this - this horror. God, can such things be? I know not what to think.

How about some Gothic Horror? The Clarrington Heritage by Ardath Mayhar sees a young bride find out the dark secrets of her husband’s family and try to survive their terrible heritage. Warning: SPOILERS .
