Watch Never Hike Alone: The Greatest Camping Trip Since Jason Learned Cardio
- Details
- Written by: Gary Johnston
- Category: Movies
There are fan films… and then there’s Never Hike Alone, the movie that made horror fans collectively say, “Wait… why is this better than half the official sequels?”
Created by Never Hike Alone mastermind Vincente DiSanti, this fan-made love letter to the Friday the 13th franchise somehow accomplished the impossible: making people afraid of hiking again. Not bears. Not dehydration. Not twisted ankles. Just one extremely angry undead campground employee with abandonment issues.

If you’re a horror fan tired of YouTube channels screaming “ENDING EXPLAINED” over a thumbnail featuring somebody with glowing red eyes and Photoshop blood splatter, then Frightfully Forgotten is the greasy VHS tape treasure chest your soul has been searching for.
Hosted by a crew that looks like they were accidentally locked inside a Canadian video rental store in 1994, the channel specializes in forgotten horror movies, bizarre B-movie nightmares, and cinematic experiences that feel like they were filmed behind a condemned Pizza Hut.

If you’ve ever wandered into the wild digital jungle known as Rumble and somehow ended up on the channel of a12cat34dog, congratulations — you have discovered the internet’s equivalent of finding a haunted arcade machine hidden behind a gas station.
At first glance, the channel looks like pure chaos. And honestly? It is. But it’s the good kind of chaos. The kind where somebody is playing horror games at 2AM while yelling “RAIDED!!!!” like they just survived a zombie outbreak in a Walmart parking lot.

Total Chaos: The Doom 2 Mod That Feels Like You Found a VHS Tape in a Cursed Basement
- Details
- Written by: Gary Johnston
- Category: Games
There are mods for Doom II that add new guns.
There are mods that add new monsters.
There are mods that add anime girls holding rocket launchers while the soundtrack sounds like a microwave fighting a lawnmower.
Then there’s Total Chaos — a mod that looked at Doom 2 and said:
“What if we removed all the fun and replaced it with emotional damage?”
At first glance, calling Total Chaos a “Doom 2 mod” feels illegal. That’s like calling a haunted Victorian mansion “a shed upgrade.” This thing completely transforms the ancient demon-shooting grandpa engine into a survival horror nightmare where every hallway smells like tetanus.
You don’t feel like the Doom Slayer anymore.
You feel like a man who just heard a noise downstairs at 3 AM and immediately regretted existing.

You know you’ve entered the right corner of the internet when every movie poster looks like it was designed by a sleep-deprived mortician with GIMP and unresolved childhood trauma. Browsing the horror section of FilmFreeway is like speed dating for maniacs: one minute you’re reading about an “experimental psychological nightmare filmed entirely in a basement,” and the next you’re wondering if a festival called BloodFest 666 accepts movies shot on a flip phone and emotional damage.
Every listing promises “networking opportunities,” but let’s be honest — we’re here for the films about haunted VHS tapes, murderous scarecrows, and at least one clown with tax problems. Somewhere in this endless sea of gore-soaked indie passion projects is the next cult classic… or a 47-minute movie about a cursed toaster. Either way, horror fans win.

Bloodbath at the House of Death (1984) - Clip
- Details
- Written by: Gary Johnston
- Category: Movies
For decades, comedy was the place where society tested its limits. Comedians were the court jesters of civilization — the people allowed to say the uncomfortable thing everyone else was thinking. They poked fun at politics, religion, relationships, culture, and even themselves. Nothing was sacred, and that was the entire point.
Then political correctness showed up like an angry hall monitor carrying a clipboard and a list of forbidden words.
Suddenly, jokes needed permission slips.

The Friday the 13th Movie Poster is My Favourite Movie Poster of All-Time
- Details
- Written by: Gary Johnston
- Category: Art
There are great horror posters… and then there’s the poster for Friday the 13th, which looks like it was designed by a man who drank six cups of coffee, stared into the woods for three hours, and whispered, “What if silhouettes were terrifying?”
First of all, this poster understands something modern horror marketing forgot: mystery is scary. You don’t see a hockey mask. You don’t see twelve explosions. Nobody is standing back-to-back holding weapons like they’re auditioning for a haunted Avengers movie. It’s just a giant shadow figure staring at terrified camp counselors like he’s deciding which one forgot to bring marshmallows.
The silhouette design was created by designer Spiros Angelikas, while the final illustrated poster was painted by artist Alex Ebel.
