Ring of Horror #1: The Horror-Wrestling Connection
This article, part one of a new column from Fangoria, looks at the link between horror and the phenomenon that is professional wrestling.

Daryl Dixon and the Importance of Gay Representation in Horror
It was announced this week that Daryl Dixon (of The Daryl Dixon Show (AKA The Walking Dead) might be gay. It was also announced that he might not be gay. Does it matter?

Abraham Ford) but this article from Icons of Fright explains why there should be gay representation in horror.
5 Torture Porn Scenes That Will Scar You For Life
Torture porn (with the emphasis on the word torture) is a sub-genre of horror whereby some poor bastard is, well, tortured – usually with very sharp implements, and usually for an extended period of time – by either an utter lunatic, a vengeful female, or a clandestine organisation who get their kicks from mutilating and butchering people for sport. We Got This Covered have put together their top five torture porn scenes, and why they will affect you for as long as you shall live (probably not).
