And it just gets better and better as you watch it. Highly recommended. It is titled “Tragedy in Fall River,” by Stephen […]
Lizzie Borden Mechanical Horror
I have seen this one before, but this is a new video so I present it to you as a fresh take on the idea of Lizzie Borden as a mechanical haunted house horror character. It is not flattering, but if this thing came at me out of some dark corner of some room, I […]
