32 Books That Will Actually Change Your Life. What Was the Iron Curtain. I remember living in West Germany while my father was stationed there with the Army from 1987 to 1992. We lived in Schweinfurt and made many travels around the country and one was to Berlin the day the Berlin wall came down and was a part of that historic day hacking away. Shortly after that day, we went to go back but instead of stopping at the first check point, we got out of the car where the border was and walked around looking at the Iron Curtain. It was a sight I won't forget. It was a hard, cold, metal fencing made of iron (covered in rust and what looked like blood in some areas) that separated East and West Germany and if anyone was caught trying to cross it, they would be shot on sight, not to mention the towers being deserted. It was a little uneasy knowing they used to be there. Nato And Remy's Last Stand: Ten 2014 Horror Films To Look Forward To!

Wait – 2013 is coming to a close already?! I feel like just yesterday I was finding out about Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead remake, debating with my horror loving brethren whether or not such a sacred property should be touched. Now, here I am starting to format my “Best Of/Worst Of” lists for 2013′s slew of horror films, reflecting on a year that saw tremendous highs and rock-bottom lows.

While Remdog and I already reflected on our predictions from 2013, and how right/wrong we both were, it’s now time to put the past behind us, and look forward to an entirely fresh batch of horror movies – 2014 horror time! Unfortunately, looking at what’s been announced already, I’m not expecting another year like 2013. As you’ll see from my upcoming “Best Of” list, I found PLENTY of horror movies worth my time and effort, from polished big-budget winners to hidden independent gems.

Don’t be silly though – there’s still plenty to get excited about. This is the horror genre! Next Remy – Here Comes The Devil. Room 237 Review - The Shining Is Much Scarier Than You Thought. Before I saw Room 237, the documentary about fantastically weird interpreters of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, which is being released Friday in theaters and video on-demand, I thought I was obsessed with the movie.

I've seen it at least two dozen times. I've read more books about The Shining than I've read about any other movie. I already knew that the television set in the Overlook Hotel has no cord. I knew that the movie holds the record for the most number of takes for a single scene, too. Kubrick made Shelley Duvall back away from Jack Nicholson 127 times, a brilliant directorial strategy: To get actors to portray people losing their minds, simply drive them insane for real.

It worked (watch below). Nine different theories of the film are outlined in Room 237. The other theories of the film are less lunatic, but every commentator feels that he or she alone knows what The Shining "is about. " The impossible path Danny takes through the Overlook Hotel.

The 10 Most Disturbing Books Of All Time. In my younger days if I heard a book or movie was disturbing or hard to handle I generally took that as a challenge. Most books generally turned out to not be too bad, but occasionally I’d come across something that would leave me with a sick feeling in my stomach for weeks.

I’ve largely outgrown this “genre” of late, but here are my picks for the ten most disturbing books of all time. Any one of these books is capable of leaving you feeling a little depressed at the least, and permanently scarred at the worst. I’d say enjoy, but that doesn’t really seem appropriate … 10.
