We've started an FAQ on our website. We've only got three questions though so far. Is there anything YOU'D like to know about CHM? https://bit.ly/4r5kUhB

Okay, not cosmic horror but I figure there's some big crossover with Sam Raimi fans. SEND HELP was a blast. A gory survival comedy for folks who hate their boss. Great performances from the two leads—recommended.

Anyone else interested in this for no other reason than the "Defang the Police" tagline?

PRIMATE was a lovely little creature feature with decent gore and lots of suspense. Think CUJO with a chimp. Recommended for those who appreciate tight genre storytelling.

Merry Christmas from the crew at CHM. We wish you all a safe and low-stress holiday!

As lifelong horror fans, we can all pretty much agree that this dude is a legit Christmas icon, right? If more holiday movies came with a grim reaper I'd be so much more invested in the season.

Short fiction continues to push the envelope of what's possible in the horror genre. I remember reading BOOKS OF BLOOD and feeling my definition of horror expanded in a single sitting. What are some short stories or collections that changed the way you think?
