All Based On Five Nights At Freddy’s Review

Biters FNAF is coming to GBM…well, sort of…You see, I was thinking of doing a three-way battle royal between the Five Nights film, Willy’s Wonderland, and the Banana Splits Movie, as they all seem to stem from the same base: the Five Nights game franchise.

However, while I enjoyed all three films, one was far better than the others at being a FNAF movie, and shockingly, it wasn’t Freddy Fazbear.

Taking the bronze is The Banana Splits. The popularity of the Indie horror game Five Nights At Freddy’s made a movie seem like a logical next step, but as I recall, it seemed like studios were having trouble getting it off the ground.

Haunted Hockey Arenas: The Ghosts of the Bell Centre and Beyond

​The Montréal Canadiens, established in 1909, boast a storied history spanning over a century. Throughout this time, countless players, coaches, and fans have passed through their arenas, leaving behind a rich tapestry of memories and legends. Some believe that the sheer volume of emotions and experiences has imprinted spiritual echoes within these hallowed halls, giving rise to tales of hauntings and paranormal activity.​

While specific accounts from players regarding paranormal experiences at the Bell Centre are scarce, the lore of the team’s former home, the Montréal Forum, is rich with such stories. The Forum, which witnessed 24 Stanley Cup championships, was believed by many to be haunted by the spirits of past hockey legends.

All I Want For Christmas Is The Beautiful People

We all know the song from the artist who thawed and haunts our radio anywhere we go for the duration of the holiday season. But what if the Goth King came and saved us all? James talks about it!

My Marilyn Manson Redemption Must Happen!

Biters, I must confess I dropped the ball back around Halloween. I was given a special request to look at a Marilyn Manson song. While I turned an article in for you all, it was merely fair in execution. 

It’s not worthy of you or a gothic magazine for a Halloween article. Biters, I now seek redemption this December with Bill McClintock‘s All I Want for Christmas is the Beautiful People.

The Overall View Of The Hell House LLC Franchise

The Song Big John Is More Gothic Than We Think!

Over at Gothic Bite, we know that the word gothic runs deeper than what the populace thinks it does. It creeps in, and sometimes we find it in songs. James tells us more about Big Bad John.

A Little About Big Bad John

Alright, Biters, It’s been a while since I did a song review. Let’s revisit a favourite artist of mine, bass singer and Voice Play member Geoff Castellucci. This time, we are looking at his cover of Big Bad John.

Considering this is Geoff’s third time around with us, there is no need to rehash his stats and history. We all know that man can sing. Instead, let’s focus on the song’s history.

They're Watching — 2016

They’re Watching A Review About A Witch’s Cottage

There are many mainstream horror movies out there made to reach out to as many people as possible. But there are little indie movie gems that often pass under the radar. They’re Watching from 2016 is one of them.

 Let’s Get Outside The USA For A Movie

While They’re Watching takes place outside the United States, it is an English movie. What does this mean? They removed us from a ‘movie comfort zone’ and explored new horizons. They’re Watching might not be a huge horror movie, but it has a powerful story.

They don’t make all independent movies on a tiny budget or cheaply with horrible actors. Independent movies are often very resourceful and rely on craftsmanship. They’re Watching is a smaller movie with meat around the bones and an exciting story.

Come And Read About An Up-Coming Release From Gothic Band, Susurration!

I love the sound of the dark and disturbing. Gothic, pulsating beats that ignite my inner vampire. So, it was a really thrilling delight to be given the chance to review the EBM project, Susurration.

Behind The Name Susurration

The project Susurration, which I must add, has an interesting meaning behind the name of the musical project—Susurration means to whisper. It stands for aggressive, driving EBM beats and melancholic darkwave songs. They always integrate influences from classical music and theatre music. 

The last album, ‘Make Love Like War,’ which came out in September 2022, was presented by Orkus and Sonic Seducer and received many discussions on many international scene blogs.

La Quintrala, A Chilean Drop Dead Gorgeous Beauty Killer

People don’t often think about women as serial killers, even less in aristocratic times. However, knowing it is a man’s world, only now do we discover women did more than first thought. How many women do YOU think got away with murder?

Only Men Can Be Serial Killers

When the general public hears the word ‘serial killer’ or a crime has been committed, more often than not, their minds will automatically go to seeing the criminal as a male. 

That is often because eighty-five percent of serial killers are male, and only fifteen percent are female. Also, women don’t seem to be in it for publicity. However, regardless of gender, one is always motivated by a reason to kill. Then again, when it comes to women, the kills are more personal compared to men.

Vore And Cannibalism Is A Complicated Relationship

Cannibalism is a subject that has always fascinated me. My views are unique regarding the subject, and that might be because my obsession started at a young age. But I only recently discovered vore. What a complex rabbit hole I fell into!

How I Became Fascinated By Cannibalism

Born with an overly enthusiastic relationship with horror, I started watching movies in the genre as a child. I would observe the story and dissect the subject or plot without knowing. After finishing my Goosebumps phase, I jumped into Stephen King‘s novels.

However, despite the paranormal and demonic remaining my favourite genre in horror, something caught my eye, and it was cannibalism. Young, I thought cannibalism wasn’t real, but my grandfather told me it was. 

My grandfather shared the story of an amateur Uruguayan rugby team flying to Chile but crashed in the Andes. The team players and some other passengers had no choice but to turn to cannibalism to survive.

The Last Kingdom — BBC-Netflix

The Last Kingdom Is A Gothic, Historical Story

Sometimes history hides heroes deep in the art and leaves a battlefield without a name. The Last Kingdom is about one of those men.

Where It Came From

The Last Kingdom is a gothic, historical story. But where to begin? History is an infinite source of ideas for authors.

It is becoming a series that has people glued to their small screens. Netflix didn’t waste time and jumped on Bernard Cornwell‘s work of The Saxon Stories and called it The Last Kingdom.

Hoia Baciu Forest Gives The Heebie-Jeebies In The Devil’s Complex

The Little Match Girl As A Maiden And Unhappy Girl

2023 has just begun, and it’s time to learn new things and dig deeper into our gothic side to enjoy the morbid and unusual. Let’s start with something light and dark, shall we?

Card Games And Fairy Tales

New Year’s greetings, Biters! Let’s kick 2023 off with a rather odd choice for a GBM article. I want to look at Yu-Gi-Oh!.

Now, I want to discuss something other than the anime or manga. I want to look at the real-world trading card game, but even more so, one card in particular, The Unhappy Maiden.

Blood Creek — 2009

Would Cancel Culture Cancel 2009 Blood Creek?

With all the movements of awareness in today’s United States in the film industry, it’s hard to be edgy. The horror genre is often either overlooked or over-judged by people that aren’t horror fans, to begin with. So, my review of the movie Blood Creek, fourteen years later…

The Official Summary

In 1936, the Wollners, a German family living in Town Creek, West Virginia, are contacted by the Third Reich to host a visiting scholar. In need of money, they accept Professor Ricard Wirth into their home, unaware of the Third Reich’s practices in the occult or Wirth’s real mission, which will keep the family bound for decades to come.

Now, more than 70 years later, Evan Marshall’s older brother Victor mysteriously disappears near Town Creek for two years and suddenly returns very much alive, having escaped his captors.

The Black Death History Of The Middle Ages

When the words Black Plague come together, we automatically think of the Middle Ages. Most recently, the term Dark Ages turned inappropriate but remained used, as it has another meaning for us goths, the Bubonic Plague.

The Overall Meaning Of The Black Death

The term Black Death resonates with an outburst of bubonic plague turned into a pandemic. It occurred in Western Euroasia and spread down to North Africa. Its period of spread was between 1346 to 1353.

This era was the most brutal and fatal death-spreading pandemic in human history to this day. Nothing has ever come close to the number of deaths related to a disease.

The Merkins Are The Perfect Holiday Boy Band

The Merkins are a musical band dedicated to the horror of all occasions! The holidays rarely rhyme with horror or slasher flicks. But The Merkins somehow make it work.

The Holiday Cheers All Around

“In my life, I’ve done a lot of waiting: Waiting on Halloween to come back around…as I stood in line and did some deep thinking, I realized I could celebrate Halloween all year round.”

— Michael Myers as Forrest Gump

That’s right, Biters. I meant to have this article out for October, but I missed that deadline. But that’s okay because, as goths, we let our Halloween spirit run all year long, including the Winter Solstice / Yule / Christmas.
