Attack of the Dead Men
Many have wondered how soldiers from WW1 and WW2 era would've reacted at meeting undead wights from "Game of Thrones". Well, this happened!
It was an event during the First World War in 1915 at the Osowiec Fortress. It was a place that was defended by a Russian garrison and then Germans decided to storm the place. They consisted of 14 infantry, a battalion of sappers, guns and a batch of poisonous mustard and chlorine gas.
In the early hours of dawn, the Germans attacked using chlorine gas. It was around the 15th August 1915. Now the Germans had known that the Russian soldiers had no available gas masks. Officers had low quality ones but the majority of Russian soldiers did not. The issued gas masks for the Germans were of superior quality and protected them from poisonous gas attacks.
Once the Russians were exposed to the chlorine gas, they were commanded by officers to use any piece of fabric to cover their faces. Hundreds of Russian soldiers began to charge towards the Germans, firing their rifles. They became a vision from nightmares. These Russian soldiers were dying and bleeding, with blood stained rags across their faces, that they resembled zombies. It was frightening and one can imagine the terror of meeting a horde of the undead. It frightened the Germans and they fled. This event became called Attack of the Dead Men.

Free ghost lovers game
This game is called "Castle Couple Soul Escape" and is created by Wow Games.
It doesn't have to be played at Halloween, because it's set in a haunted castle. Despite the objects, electrical lighting, food and pumpkins, there is a presence there and it's left a machine upstairs that is holding a helpless spirit as prisoner. You need to find objects around each room, solve puzzles and look for clues. This will award keys to unlock doors further in the castle. There is a female spirit close to the door and she's missing her lover. The spirits need your help in this game and it's not only fun but also eerie. There is one room with a display of creepy animal heads on the walls with glowing eyes, and a load of bats near the ceiling. The music is cheesy though. The only downside is the game really easy and quite short.
I rate this an awesome 6/10.

House of Darkness (2016) Lifetime horror
This film is called "House of Darkness" and it was made in 2016 by Lifetime, a TV movie of horror genre. It was directed by Patrick DeLuca, and stars Kate Stone, Ian McNeill and Jake T. Getman. This title must not be confused with "House of Darkness, House of Light: The True Story" series of books.
The film "House of Darkness" is meant to be based on true events, but there's no matching information about a family moving to a haunted house in San Francisco where trick-or-treating kids disappeared in 1957. There are strange stories of families being frightened away from their haunted houses, which is in the case of the Perron family who lived in Rhode Island. Their story was made into a film called "The Conjuring". Also the infamous haunted house called Amityville was made into a film.
Many of these haunted house horror movies come from reports investigated by Ed and Lorraine Warren. To read more about them go and visit the link below.
A lot of things about "House of Darkness" doesn't make a lot of sense but there are many similarities with scenes from other movies. Parts of it was like "The Shining" and "Poltergeist". The neighbours are a bit off, and this may be because they're not real. The true horror is either the spooky events or the dad spiralling into madness. To me this film is sugary and annoying.

Score out of 10. I give it 2/10.
