31 Days of Horror, Part II
31 DAYS OF HORROR PART II REVISED EDITION
Written by Diane N. Tran 19 - DAVID CRONENBERG FILMS One of the great originators of contemporary "body horror" is David Cronenberg. It's a mistake to describe "body horror" as mindless blood/gore exploitation films; no, that's not what it is: It is a the "man into monster" story, which is an exploration of corporal transformation and violation, the graphic destruction or degeneration of the body, to an "unnatural" state, whether scientific or supernatural. It's not only grotesque and terrifying but beautiful and tragic; it's both physical and the psychological and, with Cronenberg, always c...

Instantly, all the suits sprang into action. Half of them flew right at the Hellbat, their fists drawn back, while the others aimed their repulsors and started firing away madly. Amidst of all that, the Hellbat was hit with repulsors countless times. He gritted his teeth. He hadn’t counted on this many suits unleashing this sort of attack. He quickly activated his own thrusters and flew off the ground, the other suits in hot pursuit. Batman flew across Gotham, a hail of blaster bolts streaking after him. He turned a sharp left, and several of the suits crashed into the adjacent building because of the sudden stop. He looked back ...

As the affected girls, and young women reached late puberty, they would begin to manifest traits of giantism. Nothing serious at ...

While opening the oven to check on the food for one last time, I wondered, desperate, what else my brother would lose tonight. With that pace, he would soon lose our little apartment, too, for sure, the only thing our parents bequeathed to us. It had been a few months he had been losing over and over again, even though he was talented in poker. I was by now almost certain the others were actually cheating. He wasn't playing against any moral people either for me to erase that idea off my head. Playing poker against members of a mafia family undergroup, even if you were one of them, was not wise. But, the years of my brother winning in poke...
