aftin148 (56 KP) rated Coldheart Canyon in Books
Jul 28, 2018
I could not finish this book. I hated everyone except the dog. I found the casual talk of rape and pedophilia disgusting. Even the consensual sex acts often started with the protagonist peeping on an unknowing female lead. I understand that it is horror but it wasn't scary to me. There was no suspense, no chills, no one I wanted to remain unscathed from the mysteries of the canyon.

Firstly no way is this a remake of the original 1980 slasher. They are both called Prom Night and that is it, the stories are totally different! The other problem is this is classed as a horror but only a PG-13?! Pretty straight forward slasher stuff, not scary or gory but done on a big budget. Watch the 80's one it was only just slightly better!

Terrific format of mixed bag "true" stories
I really do enjoy this podcast. I find the length of each story perfect and I enjoy that they are told from the people who experienced it (which lends an aire of legitimacy). I have a sneaking suspicion that some are more true than others. Also some are not nearly as scary or entertaining but that's ok because the story lenghts are manageable.

Originality
Dependence on Jump Scares
Ok, but far from groundbreaking.
After watching the first Insidious (which was reasonably enjoyable), I found myself wanting to see the second, but was disappointed with what I saw.
Chapter Two was basically the same as chapter one, not particularly scary, and relying heavily on jump scares. Jump scares are fun, but not when it's the only scare the film provides.

BookInspector (124 KP) rated The Yellow Wall-Paper in Books
Sep 24, 2020
This little book had 3 stories: The Yellow Wall-Paper, The Rocking Chair, Old Water. They are all very different, but scary nevertheless. I didn’t get time to get used to the characters, because the stories are very short, but I did like their personas. The first two stories had a very strong ghost element to it, the third one had a very strong punch at the end.
