The Spooky World of Chris Ringler
Welcome to my strange world of Blogs, Books, Movie Reviews, Podcasts, Stories, and Art!
Are you a monster? We all have a bit of the beast in us. Some more than others. ARE WE MONSTERS is a collection of short stories about monsters, mostly beyond imagination but some too real to want to believe. It's available in paperback and on Kindle. Cover photo and design was by me. https://www.amazon.com/Are-We-Monsters-Chris-Ringler/dp/B09JVKDJPJ
Hey there, my name's Chris. This is my podcast and this episode is about me and the podcast. Hot potato!
First, and foremost, Huggin Molly is a real-live folk-myth. She’s said to be a witch that prowls the darkness looking for children who are out after dark, who she then hugs and screams into their ears. Why? WHO KNOWS? Witches be like that. I just wanted to state that first, as I happened to look… Continue reading HUGGIN MOLLY – found footage review
As someone who has made a couple of short films I understand how hard it is to get the stars to align and make anything. There’s a reason why the great directors are so revered and it’s because they managed to catch a tiger by the tail and then ride it into glory. Even with… Continue reading BAGMA – found footage review
Religious horror is having a moment. It’s interesting because horror is cyclical. We’ve seen religious horror—ala possession films, films about demons, and movies about the devil—come and go. Each decade has its spate of them, and we are definitely in the middle of ours. It makes sense in that the fear that an outside intelligence,… Continue reading THE BABY IN THE BASKET – movie review

Judging from the interest my review of the INSIDIOUS stage production received, there are clearly folks who wanted to know more about it. I understand that people wanted the trainwreck view, but there are clearly plenty of those statements out there. What’s sad is that there are write-ups about it that are just straight-up lazy… Continue reading INSIDIOUS – The Further You Fear (show description)
As a non-hunter, the idea of game cameras fascinates me and freaks me out. I get why people use them for hunting, but man, they freak me out. The idea that you’re leaving a camera in a remote area and could capture any number of things feels inherently creepy. I get that you’re likely to… Continue reading GAME CAMERA – found footage review
First and foremost, I have to say that this isn’t a feature film. It’s sort of like a novella for movies. It’s longer than most shorts but not a feature (which, for me, is at least 60/61 minutes). That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t recommend it, especially as it’s easily available (for now) on Tubi. I… Continue reading XIII – found footage movie review
Check out ROADKILL and ROADKILLERS in paperback or on Kindle. Everyone likes a good story of murder, revenge, and folk horror. https://spookychris.com/haunted-bookstore/
For a series that has become an annual event, it really is remarkable how solid this franchise is. The use of found footage as the way these short films are presented give everything a connection point and makes it so the films don't need to be big budget. The series is also a great place… Continue reading V/H/S/: Beyond – found footage review
As many of us slip into the comfort of a little holiday time off it also means we have, well, time off. What better time then to enjoy a little dark reading, eh? Most of my books are available on Kindle, and many for less than one dollar. That’s the kind of bargain you need… Continue reading Get the Creeps on Kindle
