Hello, I am Robert G. Male. Welcome to WraithStop™. Here you will find links that I think are of interest. Furthermore these are links that I want to keep track of because they have given me either ideas or some other form of inspiration for my writing. Links are listed in order lowest to highest both in the date they are given and the order in which they appear (meaning: read them from the bottom up for a certain day's list). Some of these sites may require you to sign up for free. Without further ado, the links...

In space, no one can hear you scream. Iconic words for an iconic movie. It isn't the first horror in space movie, but it is the first that comes to mind, and with good reason. If you've never seen it, let me give you the spoiler free description. A mining ship out a vast distance away from Earth answers a distress call from the surface of a planet. They find...

Even space isn't free of supernatural horror. Event Horizon (1997) (movie) is about a ship of the same name. It was built to test out a faster than light propulsion system. On its test voyage the ship vanished. It reappeared 7 years later in a decaying orbit around Neptune. The movie begins with the ship's engineer, Dr. William Weir, travelling out with...

This is one of my favourite movies. It is way more horrific than the rest of this year's movies. You'd better be ready for gore and madness this time out. Based on a story by Stephen King. Directed by Tobe Hooper--also a partial screenplay credit. Starring Ted Levine and Robert Englund. Additionally you've never seen so much scenery chewing! I'll also admit... Read more at R.G.

This is maybe the most horrific and sci-fi at one time of this year's movies. Hayden is an executive at a company that makes military hardware. She comes under fire by the news media for the company committing war crimes with the supposedly cancelled Hardman project that marries man and machine with disastrous results. When Hayden goes to confront... Read more at R.G. Male's Dark Corners.

Why is a ghost movie in this list of science fiction and machine horror movies? Well that second part just answered the question. Thir13en Ghosts (2001) (movie) is about a single father who inherits his uncle's fancy glass house. The house is fancier than just glass though. The walls are inscribed with spells that can be seen with... Read more at R.G. Male's Dark Corners.

Based on past experience you normally might not think of these thirteen nights including a giant monster/disaster movie like Cloverfield (2008) (movie). Horror is often as much about how a movie is approached as it is about the nature of the threats and challenges to the characters. Cloverfield is just one such example of... Read more at R.G.

The Thing (2011) (movie) is the prequel to the John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) (movie). As a prequel there are less things to be considered spoilers. Still, if you haven't seen the 1982 movie let me only tell you about this one. A scientist is called in to study the remains of an alien found in the ice of Antarctica. The alien is alive and it...

What starts off as a standard Stephen King movie quickly takes a turn into something exceedingly different while keeping all of the Kingly flourishes you expect and want. A group of friends takes a trip to their hunting cabin in the woods. The fun is interrupted by an alien invasion and the military assault on the invaders. I told you this was a... Read more at R.G. Male's Dark Corners.

I've always had a soft spot for the novel--the first sci-fi horror. This movie version is a great adaptation that doesn't stray too far. The look of the entire movie is something to behold whether it's disease ridden slums, or the Frankenstein mansion, or the icebound exploration ship. In case you don't know anything about the story, it begins with... Read more at R.G. Male's Dark Corners.

If you've watched the very different, but I think very cool if dated, Return of the Living Dead 3 (1993) (movie), then strap in for this one. Interestingly enough, Necropolis was partially filmed around the Chernobyl area. Some different thrills are added this time out. There's riding around on dirt bikes on trails, doing tricks, and...

A woman brings her younger sister to her home for a vacation only to find the town deserted. Bodies with a strange affliction are here and there. If it's an infection though, why is the police station littered with spent bullet casings? Soliders with hazmats suits, rolling fortress laboratories, and a mysterious... Read more at R.G. Male's Dark Corners.

This is Ridley Scott's prequel to Alien (1979) (movie). It had massive shoes to try and fill. Your mileage may vary wildly. It generated a bit of controversy with a supposed hidden meaning that I just don't really see in the movie. It has similar elements out front and center though, since the basic premise is a crew follows a star map left behind by... Read more at R.G. Male's Dark Corners.

Hello and welcome to the first of the 13 Nights of Hallowe'en! This year I am going back to an older format of the thirteen nights. I like having all of the connection splayed out in the posts, but it is time consuming and my work focus has changed. I will try to point out some other interesting movies that the acting staff or the producers (in the loose sense of people making the film, not producer credit people per se) have also worked on, but I won't dig too deep. I make no promises but I may go back and do that digging later and update the posts. I also may go a little bit into spoiler territory, but hopefully not too far, and certainly not for the climaxes or major final act of the movie twists... Read more at R.G. Male's Dark Corners.
