The Painscreek Killings is a video game that is available on Microsoft Windows (Steam). It was developed by EQ Studios and released on September 27, 2017. The Painscreek Killings follows a journalist named Jane as she investigates a murder mystery in the small town of Painscreek. The town has been abandoned, and you must try to solve the mystery before it is auctioned off.

Jane's goal in the game is to collect evidence in order to put together a cohesive story to present to her boss and get a front-page article in the newspaper. In the beginning of the g
There are a lot of articles that provide lists of the scariest video games on systems like PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, Virtual Reality, PC, MAC, tablets, and phones, so what makes this list any different? Well, I play a lot of games, and I love survival horror, general horror, and games with elements of horror, so I'm pretty well-versed in the types of horror included in games. In this article, I will explain the content of the games, what type of horror they include, why they are scary, and why they might scare you. I will include games from older systems, so if you have an older system, you definitely won't be excluded. The games I've included in the list will include different types o
Dismissed is a thriller/horror film that was released in 2017. Netflix released the film via instant streaming on February 19, 2018. Dismissed is a film about a teenage boy who is a perfectionist, striving to get perfect grades in every subject in school. Underneath his perfect facade lies a sociopath who has learned over time to wear a mask in order to manipulate those who he feels can help him achieve his goals. In the very beginning of the movie, during the credits, we see a boy practicing facial expressions. It is not explained what he is doing at the time, but we later learn the reasons for this, and the reasons are very disturbing. The movie starts out from the perspective of a high
Maybe you're starting out cooking, or maybe you've been cooking for a while and are just looking for ideas of cooking tools to add to your collection. Whatever the reason, I'm here to help you decide which of these tools you have been missing all your life. I taught myself to cook when I was between 17 and 19 years old, and have loved cooking ever since. There is just something so fun about being able to create whatever you want and nourishing yourself and/or those you love. The first meal I ever made was hard-shelled tacos with ground beef, lettuce, cheese, and sour cream. Pretty simple for me to make now, but I was so proud of myself for making an entire meal for the first time. Be pr
Her Story is a video game released by Sam Barlow on June 24, 2015, and is currently available to play on PC, MAC, iPad, iPhone and Android. I bought the game on Steam during a sale for $1, which is an absolute steal considering I got several hours out of it, and found that it is quite an interesting game. Her Story is about a woman who is being investigated by the police about her husband, who has gone missing. In the beginning of the game, you are seated in front of a computer, looking at a monitor that has several files on it. You can click on the various files, which all help to explain what you have to do. There is also a file already opened, located in the center of the computer scr
What is green beauty? I believe green beauty is makeup, skincare, and hair care that is free of toxic chemicals, artificial colors and flavors. Green beauty is beauty products that you aren't afraid to put on your skin, ingredients you can pronounce, and hopefully vegan and cruelty-free as well. Maybe you've wanted to switch over, but the thought of researching ingredients to avoid, then getting rid of all the products you spent a lot of money on at Sephora or Ulta pains you so much that you shelve the whole idea altogether. I can tell you that I've switched over to green beauty, and I've never been happier. It can be overwhelming if you try to do it all at once, but I will explain how
Have you ever bought something just to impress other people? Maybe it wasn't a conscious decision; maybe you bought a book or a new item that you "needed" only to discover it wasn't something you loved, but you kept it anyway for some reason? I recently looked at an old list I made of favorite movies, books, and video games, and realized that some of the things on the list were just things I told people I liked in order to appear to be a person I thought they'd like. For example, in my opinion, a favorite movie is one where I can watch the entire thing and enjoy every scene. Whereas I might actually love Session 9 or About A Boy, I might tell others I don't know well that my favorite movi
Have you ever read a book that just stays with you, no matter how long ago you read it? I've read thousands of books, and that is no exaggeration. My love of books started when I was very young. In fact, I once saw a picture of me with my grandmother's glasses on, book in hand (the book was upside down, which makes me wonder about myself back then), attempting to read. I guess I was determined to read, even though I wasn't exactly sure about how to go about it at the time. I have always been curious about which books have made an impact on other's lives, no matter what the genre, no matter how old, no matter how short or long. I have compiled a list of books that have impacted my life i
Have you ever wanted a list of quirky movies from someone who loves them? Of course you do! I have compiled a list of the best quirky movies I have come across in my lifetime that you may not have seen and might really like. 1. Timer (2009). I love this movie because it is so original, funny, dramatic, and engaging. In it, society has taken on the problem of finding true love. People are tired of dating or marrying someone, only to find that they are not a match, so a company has made a device that is attached to the inside of the wrist that lets the person know when they will meet their perfect match, whether it is immediate, in a few months, or several years, the timer will tell the
Netflix released the film "The Ritual" (2017) today on Netflix Instant (streaming). It is a supernatural horror film that reminded me of a couple of other horror films, but was original in its own right. The film is based on a book by Adam Nevill, which was published in 2011. Overview The film starts out in a pub, where five friends are discussing where they'd like to go for their next vacation together. Ideas are thrown out, naming popular vacation destinations, but none of the group seems interested in any of the ideas until someone suggests that they go hiking in Sweden. The group leaves the pub, and one of the men decides he'd like to go into a local liquor store to buy some vodka.
I know what you've been doing. And don't I know that that's a creepy introduction to this article, but yeah, I know what you've been doing. You've been looking at Netflix trying to figure out what to watch next. I also know that you've seen Mad Men in a list of television shows and you've either dismissed it as "too boring" or "not your style" or watched an episode or two and said, "Nothing happens. It's so boring." I admit, I wasn't into it first. A lot of the plot wasn't really explained that well, and I really, really, really hated Don Draper. I couldn't understand why a guy who seemingly had everything would live a double life and not really seem like he felt guilty or anything. H
The Evil Within 2 is the direct sequel to The Evil Within. It was released on October 13, 2017 on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows. I bought it for the PlayStation 4. It is a survival-horror video game that has a more open-world concept than its predecessor, which had more of a linear story. The History of The Evil Within and The Evil Within 2 In The Evil Within 2, you play the character Sebastian Castellanos, who, in The Evil Within, was a detective investigating a mental hospital where a mass murder occurred. In the first game, Sebastian found himself drawn into the mind of madman named Ruvik via a device called STEM, and experienced many horrific events while connect
I was initially interested in this movie because I thought the trailer was funny and interesting. I became even more interested later, when I learned that it was written and directed by Martin McDonagh, who also wrote and directed Seven Psychopaths and In Bruges, both of which I have seen and liked. The movie is about a woman who is very unhappy with the local police, who have seemingly dropped the ball on investigating the rape and murder of her daughter. She lives near three dilapidated billboards, and one day while driving by them, decides to hire an advertising agency to put up a message directed towards the local police chief, asking why there haven't been any arrests approximately se
I love movies. More specifically, I love horror films and comedy films, especially when they are all in one film, a la Tucker and Dave vs. Evil or The Cabin in the Woods. I try to see as many horror films as I can, but as I've gotten older, I find it more difficult to watch films that include body horror, disturbing content, and senseless violence. In 2017, I watched a plethora of notably mediocre (or just plain terrible) horror films, such as Wish Upon, Friend Request, Flatliners (remake), Better Watch Out, Amityville: The Awakening, Get Out, and Temple. I found some jewels, such as Housebound, Happy Death Day, and Creep 2, but was pretty disappointed with the amount of horror movies tha
