March 28, 2013 by Fister Roboto

(fan made poster) FX promises fans a Halloween event on par with the first two seasons, debuting on Halloween of course. This isn’t really news unless you obsess over this show like myself.

November 9, 2012 by Fister Roboto

A large amount of us think the Amityville Horror was just some bullshit concocted over a bottle of wine, at least that’s what Weber claimed “I know this book is a hoax. We created this horror story over many bottles of wine.” The Lutzes’ hoax lawsuit was less than successful with Judge Weinstein dismissing the Lutzes’ claims in September 1979 and observed in his ruling: “Based on what I have heard, it appears to me that to a large extent the […]
