Chris Aitkens is a freelance journalist from Montreal, Quebec. He started writing about music at the age of 16 for Verbicide Magazine. While interning for the Fantasia Film Festival, Chris fell in love with indie horror, and met the editors of Nightmare on Film Street.

We all have a certain image of how a member of a satanic cult might look like, thanks to movies like Rosemary’s Baby and Hereditary. You might think they meet secretly in dark robes to sacrifice goats and drink the blood of infants. Well, you would be half-right. Penny Lane’s...
