Bloodred Metamorphosis
Drip, drip, drip. That fucking faucet. Fuck it. Drip, drip, drip. The marching cadence for my descent inward provided an almost four-to-the-floor backbeat for my transformation.

V/H/S Halloween is an Urban Legend Extravaganza
This is one of my favorite additions to the V/H/S franchise. I knew I was already going to watch it, since it was only going to be based on Halloween. I was not expecting every single story to be based on some kind of urban legend, and each segment was so awesome in its own way. The gore in this film was next level brutal, and no single person was shown any shred of mercy in any of these short films.

The House That Waited for Winter

Flickering Glow. Content Warning.
It said my name. It said it again. The voice was just as indistinguishable as hers— before she died, that is. I breathed heavily, just like they said not to do. I kept my television on, in hopes another alert would show up, saying it had been eliminated. Nothing. The voice was growing louder, louder than before. I caught a glance out the window. It wasn't there anymore. There was a black glow coming from the vent. That same black glow they warned us about. The glow surrounded the room, the voice at its peak. The television flickered, displaying, “RUN.”

The Cursed Game: Whispers from the Ouija Board. Content Warning.
It was supposed to be just another Friday night — four friends, a dusty attic, and a stupid dare. Lena, Mark, Jenna, and Chris gathered in the old house Lena had inherited from her grandmother. The air smelled of wood, dust, and forgotten secrets. While exploring the attic, Mark found an old wooden box. Faded letters carved across the top read: “OUIJA.”

Understanding Flash Flood Warnings and How to Stay Safe
Understanding Flash Flood Warnings and How to Stay Safe A flash flood warning means that flash flooding is imminent or already occurring in the warned area. It is the highest level of alert for sudden flooding and demands immediate action to protect life and property. Flash floods develop rapidly, often within minutes to a few hours of heavy rainfall, dam or levee failure, or sudden releases of water upstream. Because of their speed and destructive power, they are among the deadliest types of weather hazards.
