WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I am slightly posting this the wrong way around as technically I should have given you all an article on Kelsey Grammer beforehand as he played Beast first.

Horror Doesn’t Take a Holiday
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’ll be honest, I’ve had this article planned out for a while, mainly inspired by my Unconventional Christmas and Death at the Party articles released around Christmastime. It was pushed to front of my mind when watching Holidays so here’s a little reminder that horror isn’t just for Halloween… …
Alistair Sim (1900-1976)
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Born: 9th October 1900 Died: 19th August 1976 (aged 75) As you will know my main modus operandi for these things is to look at an actors top five worldwide box office films and then talk about my favourite film of theirs.

German Horror
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers This article was actually harder to write than I was expecting.

Valkyrie AKA Tessa Thompson
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I know I’m going to say this very often I’m sure but I absolutely love the fact that creators of the MCU have been choosing relatively unknown actors for roles.

South Korean Horror
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’m sure when I talk about Asian Horror in general, the first country that would spring to mind would be Japan – what with Ju-on and Ringu being pretty famous Asian horror films. This doesn’t mean that horror films don’t come out of other parts of Asia as you …
