I’m finally back into American Horror Story Apocalypse
Once again, I have left the current series of American Horror Story until months after it has finished airing. I think it must be something inside me that doesn’t want to reach the end. Last night I watched four episodes back to back — and I absolutely loved it. The old characters that have been…

Snow White adaptation by Junji Ito
Most people probably know the story of Snow White — the seven dwarfs; the poison apple; the prince. But I bet not many know of this version by acclaimed horror Mangaka Junji Ito. A short version but not one to be missed. Read on Manga Owl.

American Horror Story – 1984 Poster

The Silent Scream (Hammer House of Horror episode 7)
The Silent Scream may be one of my favourite episodes from the Hammer House of Horror series. It doesn’t contain any deaths – not of people anyway – and doesn’t really have much in the way of gore. But where this episode excelled for me was on the psychological level.

Anyone else getting sick and tired of elitist developers hating on WordPress? Just because it doesn’t tick a bunch of boxes in some web dev book. They completely miss the point and its power.
