My First Night Home Alone
I was around my early teens when it happened. My parents were going out to get some supplies from Home Depot and spend some alone time together, leaving me, my older sister and little brother at home. Even though our folks were confident that we would be all right, we were a little nervous as this was our first time home alone, especially at night. Aside from a couple of robberies down our road, our neighborhood was a safe place. Besides, our house wasn’t exactly a perfect target for burglars due to our cheap taste. Then again, one person could see a treasure chest while another sees a pile of garbage.

DON'T MESS WITH DOLLS
DON’T MESS WITH DOLLS We'll have to travel to Japan and go all the way back to 1918. A young guy called Eikichi Suzuki was traveling across northern Japan when he came upon a little 16-inch-tall kimono doll for sale. He bought the doll without hesitation and gave it to his two-year-old sister Kikuko when he arrived home. The small girl was so taken with the doll that she named it Okiku after herself. A year later, however, Japan was overwhelmed with yellow fever, an infectious and terrible epidemic that killed many people, including Kikuko.

CURSED OBJECTS THAT SCIENTISTS FEAR
CURSED OBJECTS THAT SCIENTISTS FEAR Scientists are always looking for solutions, yet not everything in the world can be explained.Many people think dolls are cute, but I would say that there is nothing creepier. Let me introduce you to Little Jimmy as an example. LeRoy Bland, a 12-year-old boy from Kentucky, won this doll at a funfair in 1910. With its cracked porcelain face and frightening blood red smile, the doll is disturbing enough. But the narrative only grew worse when the First World War broke out in 1914. To honour all the brave young men serving in the war, LeRoy's mother sewed Jimmy its own soldier outfit. She had no idea that World War I would turn out to be one of the worst conflicts in history with a death toll estimated to be between 15 and 22 million. Yeah, Jimmy here has turned into a very gloomy talisman, but he simply looks frightening. Whereas I have a true story of a legitimately cursed doll, it's up to you to judge whether this creepy doll earns the title of most cursed toy. Are you prepared?

The Intrinsic Terror of 'Pet Sematary' (1989)
Of all of Stephen King's stories, perhaps none is more innately chilling than Pet Sematary. Where Stanley Kubrick's The Shining terrifies the viewer with its slow-rolling and measured portrayal of isolation in the sprawling Overlook Hotel, what director Mary Lambert's Pet Sematary provides is utterly visceral in its simplicity. Where The Shining opens to a car slowly winding its way up a desolate mountainside, Pet Sematary's introduction to the characters is marked by the abrasive passing of a speeding tanker. Pet Sematary is devoid of the subtletly that defined the Kubrick horror classic.

Gone. Content Warning.
Tuesday, January 12th, 1998 Summer. Night. 11.52pm. The first thing I noticed about her as she rounded the corner were her eyes. They seemed to glow in the darkness of the night, the most beautiful eyes I have ever before seen. Bright and wide, they looked almost like real emeralds, gleaming in the dim light emitting from the old, rusted lamp post (which had been littered with posters and warnings of danger over the years). Her eyes were striking, captivating more so. Even as she bounded towards me, her eyes were the only thing I could focus on.
