“We’re not talking about the tongue-in-cheek, genre-mocking films that play for laughs, mind you, but the ones that claim to be frightening and then fall short by using cheesy CGI monsters and actors who clearly couldn’t overpower anyone as serial killers, spelling out death scenes in advance, and generally sticking to a script of nothing but horror clichés. For genuine chills, check out our countdown of the 50 scariest movies of all time. For the 50 least scary horror movies, keep reading… if you dare… to not be frightened!” w/ photos + videos

“The camel is an unique beast; some feel he is beautiful while others, perhaps more lucidly, see him as being rather less kissable! There are many interesting facts about them, so without any further ado, here is a list of 20 of the most interesting!” w/ photos

“Epic is overused. Heavily, heavily overused. The internet has corrupted a perfectly good word, and now it’s used almost as badly as lol. Anything that’s vaguely humorous gets slapped with the label without any appreciation for what it truly is. You know what’s epic? Hundreds of armed and trained men, slaughtering each other ruthlessly on the field of battle. Blood and death up to your knees, under the chaos of war. That is epic, and these 14 scenes all exemplify the word, as the 14 most epic battles in cinema history.” w/ photos

“For the endless number of video games that come and go, there are those that stand out above the rest. There are those games that leave players with an experience much greater than just hours of button-mashing.

“The time-honored traditions of Halloween originated from an ancient Celtic myth which says that the worlds of the living and dead could blur at this time of year. It was believed that in order to protect oneself from harmful spirits, you could disguise yourself as one and fool them… stupid spirits! Well, as with all holiday celebrations, they become somewhat watered down, and what we’re left with today is merely an excuse to gorge ourselves on candy, get our homes egged by teenagers, and attend gatherings in slutty costumes normally reserved for frat parties… Still, there is something wholesome and nostalgic in the old, dusty Halloween Specials of years gone by. Whether classic or cheese ball, they embodied (or disembodied) what Halloween was all about – pretending.” w/ videos

“There are many genres of music and, as a result, many fusions. We have all heard of the rap-rock hybrids emerging today. There are also country-rock, techno-rock, techno-rap and, in a shameless act of contradiction, country-rap. While the fusion of musical genres continues to evolve and extend, we are also being treated to a different kind of musical fusion: cross genre covers. A good many of us are aware of Johnny Cash’s gentle acoustic cover of metal band Nine Inch Nails’ song ‘Hurt’. But, the metal bands of the 2000′s have been hard at work on their own cross-genre songs. Here are ten songs from my favorite genre of music, and their tributes to bygone bands and songs.” w/ videos
