How to Write a Killer Slasher Film
Hello friends. DJ Robbins here and I want to give you a tip for writing a slasher flick. Scream was a film that made audiences think about the slasher film in a certain way. That’s the way to think about them if you want to continue looking at them as some silly game that is a paint by numbers approach with the wrong things colored in.

Merry Krampus
Its necessary we know about KRAMPUS as we all know SANTA CLAUS. "KRAMPUS IS AN EVIL MAN" Every year in early December, children in Austria get ready for St. Nicholas to visit them. If they’ve been good, he’ll reward them with presents and treats. But if they’ve been bad, they’ll get a lot more than a lump of coal—they’ll have to face Krampus.

This is for RM Stockton's Haunted Christmas Prompt. Here is the link if you would like to check it out! Callie just turned 16 this year, and Christmas was on its way soon. Her mom took her to the mall for some Christmas shopping for their friend's and family just like they did every year. And as per tradition, for Callie putting up with her mother's eccentric shopping, she was allowed to pick one early gift. Barbie's, Polly Pockets, and makeup kits were the usual choice every year. But this year, Callie's taste had really changed, as she was now identifying as an "Emo". Strolling through the seasonal isle, Callie happened to glance up from her phone, and immediately something caught her attention.

Waste Disposal: A Love Story. Top Story - December 2023.
A little tale for the Hallmark crew: A long time ago…in a suburb far, far away… Stella could not help herself. All these years later, and here she was, back in the hometown that she promised herself she would not return to unless some special force pushed her in this direction. But here she was, guiding her SUV through the narrow streets of snow, slush and new homes. Well, new-ish homes… She noted that the field where she played soccer was now all mansions and they had built a parking lot and a small jungle gym that she would have loved as a kid. So unfair, she thought, but there was nothing she could do about that.

Puppet Master
Holly didn’t feel like going home. It had been a long time since she’d been to a church. The last memories of going to church were when she had gone with her grandmother for Christmas services and sometimes on Easter. She was feeling in the Christmas spirit and a little braver than usual. It had been a long day at work and she was exhausted from working on several marketing projects. I didn’t feel quite right, going home to an empty house because she knew she’d feel lonely when she got home.
