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).

Phantom Clowns, Bogus Social Workers, and Men in Black
  • Coulrophobes (the clown fearing) run! Run now! This is another of those interesting phenomena that happens to straddle reality. An urban legend passed on from an uncheckable source is one thing, but actual police reports and news coverage is another thing altogether even if it is highly exaggerated. The level of inexplicableness is also fascinating. Why are these figures so unsuccessful, inept even? What is the motivation to create fear that ultimately is unfounded and has no secondary effect? What is that actual first intended effect too?

    Black Eyed... Kids?
    • These stories are among the creepiest for some reason, and it doesn't particularly matter if they are black eyed children or adults. I've been aware of these stories since well before the advent of the TV show Supernatural--the first story here is 1998. The extended nature of many of the incidents lends a much greater level of fear than half-glimpses or short sightings of Shadow People. I also rather like the mystery of what they want since so many of them seem intent on taking off with people. The answer to that one is best left alone. Don't you think?

    13 Nights of Hallowe'en 2011: Night 13 The Amityville Horror (2005)

    Happy Hallowe'en! I hope everyone has enjoyed these thirteen nights. The Amityville Horror (2005) is here on this night for a reason. It's a pretty awesome remake. I don't know if it's my top pick as far as the presented remakes go or not, but it is such a classic story I wanted it for... Read it all at R.G. Male's Dark Corners.

    13 Nights of Hallowe'en 2011: Night 12 Friday the 13th (2009)

    Tonight I chose Friday the 13th (2009). I thought this was a great reboot. It's not really a remake since it condenses the first three original movies in the franchise into just the first part even as it builds its own foundation to construct on top of. This Friday's writers are Damian Shannon and Mark Swift who both also wrote Freddy vs. Jason (2003). It is directed by Marcus Nispel the director from... Read it all at R.G. Male's Dark Corners.

    13 Nights of Hallowe'en 2011: Night 11 The Thing (1982)

    It just couldn't be Halloween without an entry actually from the man most synonymous with Halloween (1978), John Carpenter. Thankfully he had a horror remake, The Thing (1982). John only wrote Eyes of Laura Mars (1978) and Halloween II (1981). He both wrote and directed Halloween, Someone's Watching Me! (1978), The Fog (1980), Escape from New York (1981), Prince of Darkness (1987), They Live (1988)... Read it all at R.G. Male's Dark Corners.

    13 Nights of Hallowe'en 2011: Night 10 The Crazies (2010)

    At the centre of The Crazies (2010) are the Sheriff played by Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell as his wife. Timothy was in Scream 2 (1997). Meanwhile, Radha has been in Pitch Black (2000), Visitors (2003), Silent Hill (2006)--yeah!--Rogue (2007), and will be back for Silent Hill: Revelation 3D (2012). Joe Anderson was in Creep (2004)--sounds interesting--and The Ruins (2008). Danielle Panabaker was in... Read it all at R.G. Male's Dark Corners.
