March 07 Ides of March: Four Horror Stories of Revenge, Backwoods Violence, and Roadside Monsters
A night of humiliation becomes a revenge story, while a country feud and a lonely highway turn cruelty into danger. Four Weekly Spooky Ides of March tales gather Hell Hath No Fury by Aaron Michael Cook, Valley Rat by Charles Campbell, Fortune Falls by David O'Hanlon, and ROADKILL by Travis VanHoose. Over two hours of horror fiction move from small-town grudges to friends chasing a view in the wilderness and a pickup stopping for the wrong reason. Betrayal links the stories, but each road has a threat. Before trusting strangers or settling scores, listen for what is beyond the lights.

February 27 Cutting Deep Into Horror | Confessions of a Serial Killer (1985): Henry Lee Lucas Horror and True-Crime Exploitation
Confessions of a Serial Killer turns a man's calm account of violence into a chilling horror film. Henrique Couto and Rachael Redolfi examine Mark Blair's 1985 production on Cutting Deep into Horror, tracing its Henry Lee Lucas connection and the gap between criminal mythology and a documentary record. They discuss the confessional structure, low-budget realism, performances, and ethics of true-crime exploitation. Full spoilers throughout. Why can a bare-bones film feel more persuasive than a slick thriller, and what happens when that realism borrows authority from disputed confessions?
