The name Crowley invokes images of satanic ceremonies and black magic; orgies with young virgins and the occult; hell, even Led Zeppelin. But who really is that man named Aleister Crowley, what is really fact and what is fiction? And the man that has ushered in a whole new realm of thinking, and putting what was largely taboo on the for front of the minds of the youth. Decades before the 60's disenfranchised hippies found the name Anton Levy.

31 Days 31 Picks Sinister - Official Trailer [HD]
Down on his luck true-crime writer Ellison Oswalt (Ethan Hawke) has decided that too chase the brass ring of success then one most put it all on the line. But Ellison had no idea that what "putting it all on the line" entailed.
"Sinister" opens with footage from a Super 8 camera depicting a family of four standing beneath a tree with hoods over their heads and nooses around their necks as an unseen figure saws through a limb that is acting as a counterweight. The branch lets go and hangs the foursome
Months later, enter washed-up true-crime writer Ellison Oswalt as he moves his family into the murdered family's home. Only Ellison, however, is aware that the house was the crime scene. Ellison intends to use the murders as the basis for his new book, in hopes that his research will turn up the fate of the family's fifth member, a little girl named Stephanie who disappeared following the murders.
Ellison finds a box in the attic that contains a projector and several reels of Standard 8 mm footage that are each labeled as innocent home movies. Watching the films, Ellison discovers that they are snuff movies depicting families being murdered in various ways: having their throats slit in bed (Sleepy Time '98), being burnt to death in a car (BBQ '79), being drowned in their pool (Pool Party '66), being run over by a lawn mower (Lawn Work '86), and the hanging that opened the movie (Family Hanging Out '11). The drowning film proves especially disturbing for Ellison after he notices the face of a demonic figure watching the drownings from the bottom of the pool. Ellison eventually finds the figure observing the murders in each of the films, along with a strange painted symbol; inspecting the lid of the box containing the films, Ellison discovers childish drawings depicting the murders, along with crude sketches of the demonic figure, identified as "Mr. Boogie." Consulting a local deputy (James Ransone), Ellison discovers that the murders depicted in the films took place at different times, beginning in the 1960s, and in different cities across the country. He also learns that the families were all drugged before being killed; and that a child from each family went missing following every murder. The deputy refers Ellison to a local professor, Jonas (Vincent D'Onofrio), whose expertise is the occult and demonic phenomena, to decipher the symbol in the films. Jonas tells Ellison that the symbols are that of a pagan Sumerian deity named Bughuul (Nick King), who would kill entire families so that he could take their children into his realm and consume their souls

THE HOUSE -Horror Short (Supernatural) for the Gear Up to Halloween
Sometimes it doesn't take a ton cash to make a half way descent film. "The House" was made for just $300 and it is pretty well done.
Some dreams should not be followed. When the line between reality and dream blurs, sometimes it is better to walk away. After all, the proverbial cat would have been just fine except for its penchant for curiosity. Happening past a house she's seen in her dreams for months, Cynthia isn't sure why she feels so compelled to find out what it means. But as she enters the doorway, she has no choice but to search further. Will she finally find peace or a more menacing truth that casts aside the light to reveal only a more forbidding darkness?

Zombies, Crazies & More Return in Harry Shannon's "The Hungry 3: At the End of the World
For zombie fans this story has been on their “must read list” since 2011 and has followed the exploits of local town, and tough as nails, Sheriff Penny Miller as she has to deal with not only the usual things ones in law enforcement has to deal with in Flat Rock, Nevada but now has to deal with a plague of the undead. Unwittingly released by accident. And as it should be expected when it comes to zombie fiction “The Hungry” series is packed full of bloody, gory, zombie-munching violence galore.
“The Hungry” starts off as Miller and her gang of survivors (those include her pussy ex-husband, an off-the-walls biker, the scientist that did the deed of bringing back the dead and a National Guardsman, who, safe to say, isn’t the best and brightest) as they come to terms of what is happening in small town America and then trying to get a handle on what is what. The group makes their way to Las Vegas that, unfortunately, hasn’t fared much better when it comes to dealing with zombie hordes in “The Hungry 2: The Wrath of God”. This time around the army tasks Miller to head up to zombie ground zero to recover data that may help in winning the battle of survival. And while she has a team of Mercenaries at her disposal things go from bad to worse when she gets to the top secret lab.
This time around in “At the End of the World”, Miller and company escape the government's final solution to the zombie plague and end up at an old hunting cabin deep in the backwoods of Colorado. Hoping to at least catch their breath while avoiding zombies, the army, and just screwball survivalists, and just ride out the coming winter. But as we have come to know with “The Hungry” series nothing ever goes according to plan.
You can find the entire series on Amazon.com as well as all of Harry Shannon and Steven Booth’s novels.
Until next time...
