IHC Movie Reviews: Dark Shadows (2012)
Tim Burton’s newest film, Dark Shadows, hit theatres this weekend. Based on the 1960’s soap opera of the same name, the film looks to bring the campy show to a new generation, but with the trademark Burton touch. So how does it do? Is it a good effort by Burton, or should it have been left chained and buried in a shallow grave?[[MORE]]
First off, I love Tim Burton’s earlier works. Beetlejuice...

Anonymous asked: I have a question for all the IHCers out there who don't live in the States or maybe ones who do but have post office connections - if you order stuff of an American website is there any way to get around the massive shipping costs? There's plenty of sites (thinkgeek being a prime example) that I'd love to buy from but the shipping costs are massively prohibitive. Cheers!

The long and gruesome history of using corpses in...
Last week, there was a story about a large shipment of ground up baby pills from China, seized by South Korean authorities and everyone was like “ewww China”. But it’s not just China— corpses have been used as medicine in Europe and almost everywhere else in the world at some time and place. It seems like a bad idea now, but some believed in the healing power of ground up...

Discovered in a cave in France, what could be the world’s oldest human etching could very well be a drawing of a vulva. Or it could just be something else, but archeologists like to see vulvas and dicks and everything. Oh wait, that’s me. Maybe they could be right.[[MORE]]
The new discovery, uncovered at a site called Abri Castanet in France, consists mainly of circular carvings...

Pretty everyone has seen the Eye of Horus somewhere at some point. It’s been in every single movie, TV show, book and video game even remotely touching on anything to do with ancient Egypt, and it’s been turned into millions of cheap head shop pendants, but it’s more than meets the eye— it’s not just a cool symbol, but it’s a math problem.[[MORE]]
