Adam Simon is hard to keep up with. He has the dizzying intellect and spellbinding rhetoric of a well caffeinated university professor.

The depth of Simon’s knowledge of the craft of horror filmmaking is far more indicative of his level of expertise than his filmography might lead you to believe.

Simon is best known for writing the 2009 film The Haunting in Connecticut, which was an unexpected success for a haunted house thriller. He is also known for his 1990’s B-movie classics Carnosaur and Brain Dead. With over 30 years of experience under his belt, Simon originally began in production and moved on to establish himself as a writer. He now makes his living writing horror for network television, a transition that has thus been very good to him.

One of last ‘graduates’ of the Roger Corman School of Film, Adam Simon has spent decades absorbing the ins and outs of creating a good film. »

Nathan and Stephanie Sloop are facing charges in the murder of her son Ethan Stacy, 4, after his body was found severely beaten and burned buried near a Colorado ski resort. Text messages between the couple reveal the calculated and horrific abuse.

The body of Ethan Stacy, 4, was found in a shallow grave near the mountains in May, 2010 after his mom Stephanie Sloop and stepdad Nathan Sloop reported him missing. Authorities quickly found out the little boy had died at the hands of his stepfather — after only staying with the couple for ten days.

Ethan arrived to his mom’s house in Utah, where she lived with her then-fiance Nathan. He had been living with his father, Joe G. Stacy, in Tazewell, Va., but was forced to move across the country after Joe lost his son in a custody battle with Stephanie.

Just ten days after arriving in Utah, little Ethan was dead. »

It's no secret to anyone who knows me that I am a big fan of Scotland, and that I would move there in a heartbeat if we didn't have these dumb things called international borders. Edinburgh in particular is a breathtaking city that still has architectural remnants of the middle ages, with windy little cobbled streets, claustrophobic closes and even a castle atop the hill right in city centre.

It's also a city proud of its morbid history bodysnatchers Burke and Hare have a bar and a strip club named after them (not to mention a booklet made out of Burke's skin on display at the Royal College of Surgeons), a sprawling, noticably lumpy city park sits atop masses of graves left over from plague times, and the ghost-walk business is booming.

But as if this weren't enough to lure me to Auld Reekie every year, it's also home to »
