Since the establishment of social media, we’ve seen quite a few dance videos go viral – some even scary. As you have seen in previous reviews on “Horror World,” the dances can be scenes from movies or horror series, for example, the famous dance scene of Megan or the Wednesday Addams dance. Alongside this are cases where the dance is happening in “real” life, documented authentically (more or less), and reaches tens of millions of views. For example, a video of a scary nun dancing in the middle of a spinning ride at a fair in Mexico. The videos of the dancing nun on carnival ride appeared in O ..read more

I have a confession to make. I often push my luck when it comes to fueling my car. Even if I pass by multiple gas stations, I tend to wait until the gas light turns on before searching for a nearby gas station. However, this habit can be risky and unpleasant, especially during a drive in an area with few gas stations, in the middle of a traffic jam, or alone at night. When I was watching the beginning of the movie “Night of the Hunted,” where a woman finds out she needs to fill her tank in an empty gas station in the middle of the night, I could relate to her situation. But this is only the fi ..read more

2023 was a complex year in world cinema, and in the opinion of the writer of these lines, it was not the most successful year in terms of the quality of the films either. If you are looking for a reason for encouragement in any case, it is related to the general revenues from motion pictures worldwide, which managed to surpass 2022 (and many thanks, among other things, to Barbie). On the positive side, the worldwide movie grossings are up by nearly a third compared to 2022, which was weak by all accounts. On the other hand, it still has about 15% lower profits than the three years before the C ..read more

Roads can be a horror movie. Almost every day, we hear about a fatal car accident that ends in the most tragic way possible. That’s why when we talk about a “scary” road, we usually refer to the danger of driving it. The question we need to ask is whether there are roads that look like a horror movie location even without checking the average traffic accidents on them. Route 66, probably considered one of the most famous roads in the world, fulfills these requirements according to some Route 66 scary stories. Even if it is not a location that you should take as it is for a horror movie, there ..read more

Some names evoke feelings of horror when you hear them, and sometimes, they even belong to the nature world. The black mamba, sometimes also known by the foreign name “Black Mamba,” is an excellent example. Most of you likely know this is one of the most deadly and dangerous snakes worldwide. But even outside the natural world, this term is used for various purposes, including to create a feeling of fear. It’s not for nothing that one of the scariest facilities in some amusement park are called “Black Mamba,” like a super fast rollecoaster ot an elevator that reaches a height of about tens of ..read more

If you have visited horror groups on Social Media in the last few months, you may have met him: A murderous scarecrow named Benny or by his full name, Benjamin. You may have also seen comparisons to a guy named Art the Clown, or to the fact that the relevant film – an independent film called “Diec’ed” created by twins Jeremy and Nathan Rudd – is very reminiscent of the “Terrifier” films, or at least has potential to be the new “Terrifier.” Some posts even claimed a new horror icon might be born here, right before our eyes. It was clear to me that I needed to see “Die’ced” movie to understand w ..read more

Budapest is one of the most fascinating cities full of attractions in Europe, and the writer of these lines – who just recently spent a delightful week there with his family – can testify to that. But the capital of Hungary also has a vast and traumatic past, part of which many want to forget, but we have to remember. While many will mention Hungary’s part in the Second World War in the history of the city, some other negative points require mention, mainly during the Nazi and communist rule in the city. The Terror Museum in Budapest, also known as the “House of Horror,” is a clear example. Th ..read more

As a father of two girls, I find myself exposed to new children’s characters in recent years. Who would have thought I would announce to my daughter with such enthusiasm that the last “Paw Patrol” movie we saw in the cinema every few months had arrived on television? Or I could recite in my sleep the plot of series like “Gabi’s Dollhouse,” “Super Wings,” “Peppa Pig,” “Baby Shark,” and other masterpieces. But among all the new content, some bring me back to my childhood, like Mickey Mouse and his clubhouse (if you’re driving down the road and see a car with songs from the series at total volume ..read more

It started like many Friday evenings. I sat down with my friends, watching a horror movie: This time, a marathon of Scream movies. At some point, we decided to drink coffee. After one of my fellas made the drinks, I picked up my favorite mug, with the figure of Ghostface on it. I drank the hot coffee – a weak cappuccino with cinnamon and no sugar, like I’ve gotten used to drinking in the past months – and realized something unusual was happening. The taste of the coffee in my Ghostface mug was just strange, and I suspected the worst of all. “Who done it?” I asked and looked at my friends, tryi ..read more

The horror world is full of creatures that have been scaring us for centuries, if not longer. Vampires are a clear example of this. We believe they were created, in various mythologies, to allow us to face the fear of death – because, after all, these are creatures that are supposed to be eternal (as long as you don’t stick a stake in their heart, of course. Did you hear that, Buffy?). The first classic vampire film, headed by the German expressionist masterpiece “Nosferatu,” introduced Count Orlok and laid the foundation for vampire films, famously featuring the character of Count Dracula in ..read more
