In the Dark
Icy blue eyes stared at me through the darkness. The fact that I could see these eyes so clearly in the darkness sent shockwaves up my eleven-year-old spine. I had just woken up from a rather intense nightmare, incidentally about some creep that was watching me at the foot of my bed. ‘’I can see you,’’ I whispered.

"The Amityville Horror" (2005):. Content Warning.
In 2005, horror enthusiasts and moviegoers alike were treated to a chilling retelling of one of America's most infamous paranormal cases—the Amityville Horror. Directed by Andrew Douglas and starring Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George, this film is a remake of the 1979 original and is based on Jay Anson's book of the same name, which itself was inspired by the true events that unfolded in Amityville, New York, in 1974. The story revolves around the Lutz family—George (played by Ryan Reynolds), Kathy (portrayed by Melissa George), and their three children—who move into their dream house on 112 Ocean Avenue in the peaceful suburb of Amityville. The house, however, hides a grim and terrifying past that soon becomes their living nightmare. Before the Lutz family's arrival, a gruesome tragedy had befallen the house. Ronald Defoe Jr., the previous occupant, had murdered his entire family in their sleep. Claiming he was influenced by malevolent voices, DeFoe was convicted of the murders. The house was then left abandoned, attracting curious onlookers and ghost hunters who sensed an eerie presence within its walls. Unaware of the house's dark history, the Lutz family is excited about their new home. However, as they settle in, strange and unexplained events begin to unfold. Doors slam shut on their own, shadows seem to move independently, and the temperature drops inexplicably, leaving them chilled to the bone. The phenomena escalate with each passing day, and George's behaviour undergoes a dramatic change. He becomes increasingly distant and aggressive, seemingly possessed by an unseen malevolent force. Kathy, too, experiences haunting visions, while their youngest daughter, Chelsea, develops an unsettling friendship with an imaginary friend named "Jodie." The family's sense of dread intensifies as they uncover evidence of the house's sinister history. George delves into the property's past, discovering occult symbols hidden within the walls and sinister artefacts left behind by the previous owners. As their nightmares manifest into horrifying reality, the Lutz family finds themselves imprisoned in their own home, tormented by the malevolent force that refuses to let go. Desperate for answers and fearing for their lives, the Lutz family seeks help from a local priest, Father Callaway (played by Philip Baker Hall). However, the malevolent force that has taken hold of the house proves to be more powerful and sinister than anyone could have imagined. The priest's attempts to perform an exorcism only serve to agitate the spirits further, putting everyone's lives in grave danger. As the malevolent force becomes more aggressive, the Lutz family's sanity and safety hang in the balance. They must summon every ounce of strength and courage to confront the malevolence head-on if they hope to escape with their lives intact. "The Amityville Horror" (2005) delivers a tense and terrifying experience, skillfully blending elements of psychological horror and jump scares to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. Ryan Reynolds's portrayal of George Lutz is especially noteworthy, as he convincingly transitions from a loving husband and father to a man consumed by dark forces. While the film is a remake, it stands as a commendable homage to the original and stays true to the essence of the infamous Amityville haunting. The eerie atmosphere, spine-chilling sound design, and haunting visuals all contribute to creating an unsettling and nightmarish ambiance. Though the events depicted in the film are rooted in legend and lore, "The Amityville Horror" (2005) serves as a terrifying reminder that sometimes the scariest stories are the ones that claim to be true. Whether one believes in the paranormal or not, this film taps into the universal fear of the unknown, the uncontrollable, and the forces that may lie just beyond our comprehension. In conclusion, "The Amityville Horror" (2005) stands as a gripping and haunting cinematic experience, one that continues to captivate and terrify audiences, even decades after the original haunting took place. It remains a testament to the enduring fascination with the supernatural and the allure of a good ghost story—one that will continue to send shivers down the spines of those brave enough to watch it .

Granny Tales
I grew up in an extremely small rural town in Pennsylvania, on a farm. The population of our town was less than one thousand people. The closest city, Scranton, Pennsylvania, was about an hour away. The nights were pitch black dark because there were no street lights or light pollution like in the city, except for the light of a million stars.
