The plot of Blackstock Boneyard has its roots in the 1913 conviction and eventual execution of Thomas and Meeks Griffin, two wealthy black farmers for the murder of a veteran of the Confederate army. A murder they didn’t commit and were eventually exonerated of in 2009. This being a horror film, a posthumous pardon is not nearly enough to even the score.

Director Andre Alfa and writer Stephen George‘s story picks up in 2013 as Judge Carroll Johnson ‘Cj’ Ramage the grandson of the judge that sentenced the Griffins to die is about to close a lucrative deal on the land that once was their farm. There’s just one problem, his lawyer has found another heir to the property,...

Out of all of Poe’s works, few have had as big of an impact on me as “The Pit and the Pendulum.” Like many youngsters with an interest in the macabre, it was the first to immediately grab my attention, its title conjuring images of a massive, swinging blade cutting a poor sap wide open. Of course, there’s more to the poem than that—it’s focused less on the titular blade and more on the paranoia it creates, as well as painting a portrait of the horrors of the Spanish Inquisition. It also has, quite infamously, one of the most frustrating deus ex machinas of all time, where the French army stops the swinging pendulum mere seconds before it can bisect our bound protagonist, much to the disappointment of English students the world over. While it’s hardly Poe’s best work, it’s certainly among his most iconic,...

The year was 1995 and I was home, excited to see a little movie called Castle Freak. Why? Because the killer was insane looking. Then I saw it... his severed cock-nub. I've never been the same. Now to be able to see said cock-nub in full 1080p? Oh, friggin' my!

That's right, kids! Full Moon Entertainment has unleashed two of its most infamous films from director Stuart Gordon, Castle Freak and the 1991 lunacy laden flick The Pit and the Pendulum. Believe me you haven't lived until you've seen Lance Henriksen as Torquemada. It's almost as disturbing as a 1980p cock-nub. To order them now just hit up Full Moon Direct.

The Pit and the Pendulum Synopsis

In the quest to save souls, the Spanish Inquisition will stop at nothing and knows no boundaries for evil.

Castle Freak

Stars: Jefffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton, Jonathan Fuller, Jessica Dollarhide | Written and Directed by Stuart Gordon

I could argue that there is something subtly brilliant about Castle Freak, yes it’s got its faults and its level of sexual violence will put some off, but in other ways it’s the perfect horror film. It knows its limits it sets up the backstory for the whole film in just a few scenes at the start and it’s unashamedly brutally violent, especially in its uncut form.

When Duchess D’Orsino dies of old age she leaves a secret in the basement, a secret that survives and lays in wait for the next owners of her home. When John Reilly, his wife and blind daughter inherit the building it’s not long before the creature that has been hidden there is set free. Working through a stressful marriage and tortured...
