Hellfire Farms
Hellfire Farms was a haunted farmhouse in the middle of Fucking Nowhere, Michigan that was always bustling with city and small town folk every spooky season. Its elements rocked horror fans to their cores with its odd, not-quite-Southern charm, killer cannibal farmer, and of course, the chainsaw guy.

Trophies of the past
Mark sat on the top step of the staircase leading up to his porch, the light drizzle of mid-October rain beginning to patter onto the ground around him. A chilled breeze passed through the air, causing Mark to shiver for just a moment. His eyes continuously darted from one end of the street to another, waiting for her car to arrive. Just as he was looking down the western end of the street, the familiar beat up red of Jess's '97 convertible turned his way and began approaching.

PERILLUS INCORPORATED
Part1: The Bellowing Bull Ever so often one is allowed a glimpse into the inner workings—to witness the black blood that lubricates the world engine. For most who are granted the privilege, it is like a brief nightmare that gives hints of foul foundations, but for some who gaze into the abyss, it will mean lifelong days of terror that satiate unknowable wills.

Through the Door
The morning bell rang and the students marched towards their desk. Sylus took his usual spot near a window he could stare out during his day dreaming. Mr. Jefferson walked in, set his bag on his desk, and walked to the chalkboard.

Burning Down
The porch lights on the cabin twinkled in the darkness as the group of friends approached it on that frigid wither night. The front door creaked open as they neared, and out came an old woman. Her skin had wrinkled to the point of hiding any outstanding features she may have once shown. She welcomed them in and warned them that there were animals in the cabin. This became clear to them as they heard the pitter-patter of feet running towards them and were greeted by a loudly oinking pig. The pig was followed by her piglet, both of which the woman shooed away before showing the group to their room.

The Dark Dream of Terror
I fall asleep separated from life. A Dream usually becomes a possible reality with the truth hidden inside. The journey that will soon bring chills. I was headed back to maybe a friend's place. My group of people was split into 2 groups. I was with the first one and the second was behind me. All of a sudden I hear words from a distance as if they were spoken to me. “Do you wanna fight?”

...this Machine
...this Machine No one could say what the machine was doing. No one knew who built it. No one would dare venture too deeply into the room where the behemoth slowly performed its enigmatic work. All anyone knew was where to find the machine, and that once a year, a loud screeching would echo from what was perhaps the bottom, somewhere deep in the Earth. But of course, Taylor just had to know.

Ghost-hunting
The ghost hunters of ghost hunters Zak Bagan, Nick Groff (seasons 1-10), Aaron Goodwin, Billy Tolley, and Jay Wasley explore the vicinity in hopes of gathering visual and audible evidence of human activity. The two investigators mentioned, Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, are considered critics who are easily deceived and who seem to have no real understanding of the scientific methods of real investigation. The exhibition features a team of superpower detectives led by demon expert John Zaffis who are investigating a spook site in the hope of identifying and removing objects that they believe could create supernatural activity.

A Shovel Full of Dirt
I pushed the sign deep into the ground and looked at the kids gathering up the street with thinly veiled satisfaction. Keep off the Dirt

Savoir
The nightfall was dusty, charcoaled and muddied glints fluttered in the foreground, fronded leaves encircling the window's corner like a salvaged gilt frame. She continued looking into the night, quietly willing the quilted figure to subside, to dissolve into the featherdowned bed never to reshape.
