Almost a decade ago began the After Dark Horrorfest, and the first year had some pretty sweet low budget horror movies made by people that enjoyed the genre. I’m a tad bit rusty on the specifics of this particular movie but I remember some images creeping me out and the plot being a bit more strange than your typical ghost story.
We begin with our three main characters joining together for the funeral of a old college friend after going there own separate ways as is life. During the funeral, they decide a sad ceremony isn’t the way to celebrate there departed pal and well, they decide to share a drink with them at the cemetery after hours and get blitzed and in drunken euphoria they going dancing through the cemetery, wondering into the wrong part where the worst people in town were buried. The spirits of these 3 evil people are pretty pissed some drunks literally went dancing on there graves and begin haunting them, not stopping until they get there own twisted revenge…
While not the greatest horror movie by any means, there is ambition to it we don’t really see much these days. The plot is strong and interesting, even for a B movie. Some of the effects vary as well as the acting but it works fair enough. The ghosts and there stories were my favorite part. I do recommend picking up a DVD rather than catching it on TV because watching it on TV, it gets chopped to hell, but it is worth a watch all the same. May the gaming gods stop you from drunken grave dancing.
1. Cujo by Stephen King- ok, this was a tough call because many of King’s stories freaked the hell out of me but Cujo left a weird impact on me. I’m nervous around dogs as it is, so the idea of being at the mercy of a massive, rabid, death tank of a dog just…no, hell no. 
Let the Right One In (aka Let Me in) by John Ajvide Lindqvist- besides being a freaky ass vampire story with interesting lore and characters behind it, it’s a deep tale of friendship and vulnerability that I will cover after I watch the film, but I can tell you it won’t let you down if you’re scared of vampires.
3. A Good and Happy Child by Justin Evans- I’ve never been religious or brought up with strong religious beliefs but this possession story caught me off guard. Rather than heavy theatrics we get a much more quiet and more unsettling series of mind games through the 1st person perspective of someone possessed by the devil. If you like smart, thoughtful horror, this is for you.
4. The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker- if you loved the movie Hellraiser, this is the book that Barker directly turned into the film but his master of giving the diabolical Cenobites a presence the movie can’t match, this novella is worth a hit for the true fans of the movie. 
5. 1984 by George Orwell- this book is debatable as horror but once you read it and take a look at the world around us in 2017 where we always have eyes on us and Big Brother is everywhere, you may feel differently. Before reading 1984 however, I recommend reading Animal Farm first, to which here’s yet another link to check out my review. 
1. Mera- don’t get me wrong, I was tickled pink when Black Manta was revealed but I think Mera could have brought something unique to the table with her hydro abilities.
2. Beast boy- being able to shape shift into animals during a fight would kick so much ass, whether it’s changing into a bear for a epic maul attack or a hawk for a last minute escape- not to mention finishing a ultimate attack as a T-rex. How can you go wrong?
3. Captain Boomerang- we had Cold, leader of the Rogues but he ain’t my favorite Captain of the group. I always had a thing for Boomerang and with his assortment of weaponized boomerangs could make for some sweet combos and plus you fill the quota of movie tie in character.
4. Larfleeze- Agent Orange himself, holding the entirety of the Orange Lantern Corps in his lantern, making for some really sweet possibilities for combos.
5. Smoke- I think Smoke would have been a sweet choice with his arsenal of smoke attacks that famously wreck people in Mortal Kombat. Also it didn’t make much sense to have two electric and two ice characters when someone like Smoke could add some variety.
