18 Superstitions You Need to Know if You Want Good Luck
If someone happens to be sitting/laying on the floor and blocking your ability to pass through, naturally you step over them and continue on your way. That is of course if the people you are dealing with aren’t superstitious, because if they are you better step right back over the person you just stepped over real quick and make them move out of your way before you get back to wherever it was you were going. The story behind this superstition says that the person you step over as you pass through will stop growing and remain their current height forever. Some people are so superstitious that they don’t even care if the person being stepped over is at their peak height and incapable of growing any taller, they will still make you cross back over them and walk around to pass them.

The Real Reason Rob Zombie's 'Halloween' Reboot Failed
I found myself in a rather unique position last month. Because while I'm a fan of slasher movies, I'd never actually seen any installment of the original Halloween series other than the first movie. That meant when Halloween 2018 showed up in my local theater as a direct sequel to John Carpenter's original film, I didn't have an entire series worth of continuity to forget in order to enjoy what was right in front of me.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'The Lazarus Effect' (2015)
This movie wanted to be Reanimator and Flatliners all at the same time. It's not that the premise doesn't work, it just gets messy and leads to a sloppy ending. What I'm saying is this could have been done right. I'm not sure how, but what I do know is the premise is solid, however, the movie fell flat.

The History of Halloween
Halloween has been around since ancient times. It all started with an ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, a celebration in which people would light large bonfires and wear an array of costumes to scare off ghosts and evil spirits. This festival marked the end of harvest season and the beginning of winter or "The Darker Half" of the year. This celebration usually went on from the October 21 till November 1. There were many festivals held like this one around Scotland at the time, some being even older than the Celtic festival of Samhain itself.

The Haunted Mind Chapter 1
The gravel crunched beneath the wheels of the carriage as it pulled to a stop outside the late Baron Rathbone's estate. I climbed out and the driver was already waiting with my bag and brolly. I turned my collar to the cold, damp fog which permeated everything with its heavy presence. Even the light from the gas lamps couldn't cut through its stubborn thickness.

Now little did I know that something horrible had gone on here, now when I tell this I am not joking nor am I looking for laughs.

Unlucky
The black liquid was oil, we were sure of it at first. We were sure that we had found our treasure chest, our pot of gold. We actually started writing down all the ways we’d spend the money. The first choice was a vacation home in Hawaii, but later Jack scratched that because it was “cliche.” We had to agree with him. Alex was the only one of the three of us who was tied down—awesome wife, Jamie, and a baby girl named Lily—so he was only thinking of college funds and savings. Jack and me though, we had the high life screaming in our veins--and what we heard was a socially elite, high-rolling-bouncers’ needed 24/7-private access bachelor pad. In Holland. Every luxury catered to.
