Wrestling With Horror: The YouTube Channel That Asked, "What If The Undertaker Reviewed The Texas Chain Saw Massacre?"
- Details
- Written by: Gary Johnston
- Category: Series
Every now and then you stumble across a YouTube channel that makes you stop and think...
"Wait... why didn't anyone think of this sooner?"
That's exactly what Wrestling With Horror does.
It's the glorious, blood-soaked collision of two fandoms that have spent decades sharing the same audience. Wrestling fans love horror. Horror fans love wrestling. Both groups cheer when someone gets hit with a chair. It was only a matter of time before somebody finally invited Jason Voorhees to cut a promo.
Welcome to Wrestling With Horror, where suplexes meet slashers, piledrivers meet possessed children, and horror movie rankings are treated with the seriousness of a WrestleMania main event. The channel is built around the wonderfully ridiculous idea that horror movies and professional wrestling belong together—and after watching a few videos, you'll wonder why they've ever been apart.

Why The Exorcist Is the Greatest Horror Movie of All Time (And Why Every Other Horror Movie Is Secretly Fighting for Second Place)
- Details

Every horror fan has that argument.
"Actually, The Thing is the greatest."
"No, it's Halloween."
"What about Alien?"
Then someone in the back quietly whispers, "I really liked Leprechaun in Space..."
Security promptly escorts them from the building.
Look, horror is wonderfully subjective. Everyone has their favorites. But when the dust settles, the heads stop spinning, and the pea soup has finally been cleaned off the walls, one film still sits on the throne.
1973's The Exorcist.
Here's why.

There are two types of horror fans.
The first type watches every remake and reboot because they're optimistic.
The second type watches every remake and reboot because they enjoy witnessing cinematic train wrecks.
Thankfully, Stitched Together Pictures exists for both.
If you've somehow managed to miss this fantastic YouTube channel, congratulations—you've discovered the horror equivalent of finding an unopened VHS copy of The Thing at a yard sale.

Stephen King: The Man Who Made Maine a Terrible Place to Live
- Details
- Written by: Gary Johnston
- Category: Books
There are authors who inspire generations.
There are authors who redefine entire genres.
Then there's Stephen King... the man who convinced millions of readers that every sewer, clown, hotel, car, dog, child, cornfield, fog bank, laundry press, and suspiciously smiling old lady is actively trying to kill them.
Seriously, if you live in Maine, your real estate agent probably has to include a disclaimer:
"Beautiful three-bedroom home. Great schools. Minor demon infestation. Basement only screams on weekends."

Behind the Mask II: The Return of Leslie Vernon — The Slasher Who Treats Murder Like a TED Talk
- Details
- Written by: Gary Johnston

Good news, horror fans: Leslie Vernon is reportedly sharpening his machete, stretching his cardio muscles, and preparing to return in Behind the Mask II: The Return of Leslie Vernon.
A Quick Refresher: Who Is Leslie Vernon?
If you've never seen Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, imagine if Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, and a motivational speaker had a baby.
Leslie is a wannabe legendary slasher who takes a documentary crew behind the scenes of his master plan. He explains everything: victim selection, chase pacing, dramatic entrances, and the importance of staying in shape.
Because apparently being a horror icon requires more cardio than a CrossFit instructor.

The 15 Most Evil Spider-Man Villains (Ranked by How Much They'd Ruin Your Day)
- Details

Spider-Man has fought aliens, mad scientists, billionaire psychopaths, giant lizards, and at least one guy who looked at a Halloween decoration and thought, "Yes... I shall become that."
While Spidey is famous for cracking jokes, many of his enemies absolutely did not understand the assignment. Some are greedy. Some are insane. Others would happily destroy New York just because they woke up slightly cranky.
So let's count down the villains who prove that Peter Parker's biggest superpower isn't web-slinging...
...it's not needing years of therapy.

The Shape finally logs on... and somehow says absolutely nothing.
Every horror fan has wondered the same thing:
"What would happen if Michael Myers did an AMA?"
After forty-plus years of stalking babysitters, surviving impossible injuries, and proving that walking is somehow faster than sprinting, Haddonfield's most famous resident has finally agreed to answer the internet's burning questions.
The rules were simple.
- Michael would answer every question.
- Michael would not speak.
- Michael would not remove the mask.
- Nobody would ask where he buys his coveralls.
That last rule lasted approximately twelve seconds.

Canada has given the world many wonderful things: maple syrup, hockey, poutine, and a seemingly endless supply of actors Hollywood quietly steals. But buried somewhere between all of that national pride is a movie so rare that even some hardcore horror fans react to its name with, "Wait... that's a real movie?"
Welcome to Massacre Up North, one of the strangest and most elusive entries in the wonderfully weird world of Canuxploitation cinema.
Grab your toque, apologize to everyone in advance, and let's head into the frozen wilderness.
