Sometimes things go swimmingly, and that’s nice. You may coast along without a care in the world because there is no cause for concern because everything is working as it should. This, however and unfortunately, does not last. Hiccups, minor issues, major problems, and unimaginative people often get in the way, and you have little to no choice but to deal with them. You can read about my own snafus in Under Construction.
In cinema, we have a very special list prepared for you. Are you afraid of the dark? We ask this question ad nauseam in our presentation of three films whose entire personality centers on darkness. You may want to watch these with the lights on. Or don’t. Your choice. We won’t stop you either way.
We extend our foray in the intangible with Phantoms, a story of misty monsters bent on revenge for … well, you can read it for yourself and see. Last week’s classic horror story was literally about a mist monster, in The Mist Monster, thus we sought to extend the theme to this week.

Turns out, the maintainers of a repository for which I submitted the first of my plugins lack imagination, nor do they think the average user of their software is capable of making their own decisions with regard to what plugins they use. So I must reconsider how to approach the integration of that particular plugin. But this not exciting, this is the drab day-to-day nonsense I must deal with.
You know what is exciting? Read on, as we have a number of features ready and waiting for your attention.
How much time are the vampires going to spend in the manor getting ready? JFC, we’re still waiting to learn what happened to the coven! Maybe we’re getting closer:
Through the dream and back out of it. Let’s drop in and see how Mr. Garcia is faring in the latest installment of House:
Last week it was mist. This week it’s Phantoms. What’s next week, Fog?
Are you afraid of the dark?
Perhaps you should be.
Darkness is often used as quite the interesting element in many films, but few make it their entire personalities. Drop into darkness this weekend with three films that will have you wondering whether the darkness is itself to be feared, or perhaps something beyond it:

An old woman risks everything to discover what became of her husband. A tale from the Odds ‘n’ Endings Boutique.
When last we rode with the bus driver, they had narrowly escaped the grasp of a massive evolved infected. Of course, it’s never enough to just narrowly escape a terrifying and traumatizing incident. Nope! Just when they thought they were out of trouble, they blow a tire. You can catch up with Part XIII here. What will become of them? Will the bus driver get the tire changed in time? Or will they be eaten by the remaining infected? Let’s find out.
