I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This book was incredibly creepy! Told in first person it explores a '90's childhood and the life of a child therapist.
There's some really neat twists that I didn't see coming.
I highly recommend this book.

Boris Karloff
The Mummy- is spooky, horrorfying, excellent, creepy and more . Boris Karloff is terrorfying as Ardath Bey / Imhotep / The Mummy. He is so creepy in this film, you will have nightmares.
The Plot: A team of British archaeologists led by Sir Joseph Whemple (Arthur Byron) discover the mummified remains of the ancient Egyptian prince Imhotep (Boris Karloff), along with the legendary scroll of Thoth. When one of the archaeologists recites the scroll aloud, Imhotep returns to life, but escapes. Several years later, Imhotep has taken on the guise of a wealthy man, as he searches Egypt for his lost love, who he believes has been reincarnated as the lovely Helen Grosvenor (Zita Johann).
I would highly reccordmend this movie.

Deliciously creepy and full of tension.
I haven't read anything by Caroline Mitchell before but I was initially drawn by the cover and then intrigued by the blurb which sounded like something I would enjoy and, overall, I wasn't disappointed.
There are some great characters and a fabulous plot which combines urban legend, creepy house, serial killer, murder mystery, police procedural and the paranormal. The pace is pretty good and the twists and turns provided suspense from the start.
This is a good spooky read and certainly made a nice change to the usual crime thrillers and I have to give a thank you to Embla Books and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

A Halloween Must!
This is one of, if not, my favorite Halloween movies ever. It is such an instant classic and I could and have watched this back to back so many times it's not even funny.
The story is funny with just the right amount creepy that's it's perfect for any person no matter their age.

Not scary
12A rating
Another Horror flop
I thought I'd give this a go even though it looked a little low budget. How a horror film with a 12a rating is supposed to be scary baffles me. It just doesn't work. Starts off a bit creepy in an old house but quickly becomes a little silly.

A decent Horror film that is part of the Conjuring universe. Complete with some hints of the upcoming Nun film. It might not be as creepy or scary as most of the other films in the franchise. However it is still made to a good standard. If you like the Conjuring, Insidious films you should enjoy this.

Feb 17, 2018 (Updated Jun 30, 2019)
A fairly average, slow to get going horror. It's basically an Exorcism version of Blair Witch. I didn't know in advance it was done in the style of a documentary. Does get a bit creepy later on, odd ending to which didn't seem to explain it all. Some will like that, others will be annoyed by it!

Creepy with just the right amount of Whimsy
Coraline is a quick and fun read for pretty much any age(as long as the kids don't scare too easily).
Gaiman really does create a wonderful seemingly perfect world with young Coraline's other mother but as the old proverb goes the grass is always greener on the other side.

This was a fun short story with a few good twists and turns to keep the reader interested. I found it both funny and creepy as I really liked the characters but I absolutely hate clowns. I would say this is more a comedy than a horror but I'm still going to shelve it as horror because...clowns.
