It would be truly amazing to push RED up to 100 ratings on GR and 50 on Amazon. If you have experienced it, I invite you to leave a review and perhaps a few stars. Let's get this done🩸 Thank you all 🍷 daniellornhorror.co.uk/gallery 🧛

After writing Obsession and Pact, I felt I had unfinished business with the 'fractured mind concept' and decided to explore the theme further. I also wanted this story to be darker and more brutal than my other stories… I am confident I have achieved this with RED. daniellornhorror.co.uk/gallery

Here are some (old) horror films I have had the pleasure of watching recently. I absolutely loved every one of them (especially Body Snatchers) and plan to watch many more like them over the next few weeks. Has anyone else got a favourite from this fine bunch? 😱👻🧟
